Ask a music producer who has worked with a couple famous rappers anything
what rappers have u worked with?
whats the best (free) way to get into that line of business?
>>705972935
idk if i should say lol
>>705973135
make friends with other producers.... trust me
rap is not music
rap is gay
>>705972881
Music? Rap?
You can pick only one bro.
They are mutually exclusive.
>>705973924
rap makes $$$
>>705972881
why dont you name your patterns and color code?
lazy douche
>plugging sounds into a computer program that plays them on a loop
>music
Pick one.
>>705974126
because i name the tracks so there's no point naming the patterns. and fuck color coding
>>705974256
you do realize everything you listen to on the radio or whatever is made using a computer? Unless you listen to old classic shit or jazz idk
>>705974564
There's a difference between a live band being edited/mixed/recorded in tracks and clicks and clacks and other sound effects plugged into your little computer program.
>>705975017
ok grandpa
>>705974060
kek, doubt it
>>705973924
edm fag
How do I begin? What can I put on my laptop that is either free, or cheap, that I can begin experimenting with?
>>705972881
Name the rappers you worked with pussy
>>705975855
download fl studio
>>705976032
would you also like my address and my ssn?
>>705972881
you patterns are extreme basic and have zero creatively. i bet you dont even limit, mix and master. maybe you slap on soundgoodizers and loldurrrrsoundsgood FUCK OFF FAGT
I like Black Midi. You don't know what it is? Look it up on youtube
can i ask you to shut the fuck up?
>>705976845
no shit it's basic dumbass it's a rap beat
>>705977038

Have you ever used cool edit pro? I know it's shitty and outdated but I'm a poorfag. How can I maximize its effectiveness on my vocals?
>>705972881
>music producer
>fl studio
great job.. so pro ..
>>705977093
that bass line is fucking used all the time. please fuck off, uninstall FL studio, find the nearest bridge, throw laptop off of it, then kill yourself.
>>705974060
so does selling your butthole
>>705977330
yeah it's used all the time because its good to rap over lmao random.
>>705977394
tru
>>705976659
yeah you can add that in
FL Studio aka Fruity Loops.. kek I guess FL doesn't sound a fagit as the original name. Oh yeah FL ruined music
>>705977268
>>705977268
im not OP
buuut i can already tell youre extremely fuckin stupid from that comment alone
LOL
>>705977515
post your shitty soundcloud then cuck boy
>>705977152
nah dude i've never used it. sorry bro
This edgy cunt here>>705975017
If it sounds good in your ears its served its purpose
You could listen to song entirely composed of farts and still enjoy, just noise and words bro
>>705973924

>>705977976

>>705977888

also whats wrong with soundcloud?
>>705972881
Whats your fav compressor ?
>>705977896
torrenting is illegul
>>705977658
exactly
Let's test your mastery of rap lore.
What's black and rhymes with Snoop?
>>705973924
You are an example of a balkan nigger who has an iq of -69
>>705979002
fucked the joke up bruh
>>705977896
Do I torrent all of these? Or are you just listing different options for the same process?
>>705975017
Edgy gramps here lol
>>705979698
shut the fuck up
>>705979555
one of them
>>705980392
thank you
>>705980702
if you are doing that i would suggest fruity loops
>>705981130
I'm leaning toward it now. I'm seeing 9, 10, and 11(producer version) on some torrent sites. 9 has the most reliable looking seeds.
Is there any pressing reason why I would need the latest?
>>705981554
to tell you the truth i dont really know cuz i actually paid for it but im fairly certain getting an earlier version wont matter. i would suggest getting the 11 producer version if you could.
Native instruments machine 2. Reaper. There I just gave you keywords to get started with the best software out. Fuck this gay thread and FL users.
>>705982202
or you could use fl like a normal perosn
>>705972881
LEAK REVERIE ARCA
>>705972881
This looks so amateur tho
>>705982561
FL is crap. Go start using ableton or something. FL studio is for kids who don't give a single shit about sound quality
>>705972881
why are you such a fucking faggot?
>>705973924
uhh if thats your project, KYS
This is what an average project of mine looks like.

>>705973219
say please
>>705972881
Fl studio, producer, pick one
Ok ok i worked with Drake once awhile back.
>>705977658
honestly though...like how many people are gonna listen to a professionally produced song thats more or less been done before, compared to a low quality song that they enjoy and entertains them. Ultimately if people like it thats all that matters.
>>705972881
whats your workflow?
>>705983928
nah i'll stick with fl thanks
>>705983866
yeah, its a reallysimple beat bruh
>>705983970
you know this is just a rap beat right? not a fucking edm song
>>705984065
money=good
>>705983937
idk man
>>705972881
Track looks amature in all honesty
>>705985910
maybe look at the 1000 times i said its a simple rap beat you stupid fuck
OP...
I'm really looking for some help on this song. Especially at 17 seconds in, I really need your godly producer help!!!

HELP PLEASE
>>705986142
fucking kek
>>705986142
fuck the ending was loud lol
i'll bite
what professional rapper do you think is using FL studio to produce their music
>>705972881
fuck you
>>705986650
you dont understand how the music industry works huh?
whho u work?
>>705986801

>>705972881
I recently got Logic Pro X but I'm not entirety experienced with using the program. Are there any effective guides that you know of?
>>705972881
I have several questions
>8 patterns?
>Unlabeled?
>What the shit are you doing in fl?
>Why do you feel the need to lie?
Op is a damn liar. I've done production for half of D12, Cypress Hill, Danny Brown, and a bunch more. This shit doesn't get you fucking paid. Only the 'producer' friend ballfondlers make that big money. Like Drake's personal fukboi. Nobody uses fucking fruity loops and if they bring that shit they get laughed out the room. Protools sessions, usually not on a grid, at least 60 tracks before the vocal. Fuck you OP you goddamn poser. Probably don't even know what an 1176 is and definitely don't know which way is up on the knobs.
Bitches get on my level
im a producer aswell, started out in fl, moted to reason and now, for 6-7 years ive been on cubase.
FL studio is prfect for beats and has a very good sound quality.
Its not what u use, its what u do with it
>>705976851
>Black Midi
the fuck kinda gay shit is this?
>>705986650
In todays music there are tons of rappers producers who use fl to make mediocre shit. But his project screen cap is just garbage.

Just got a hd800 setup yesterday. Real instruments do sound better, but honestly the difference is minimal. You can hear a little bit more bass extension and string reverb but other than that, for the average listener it wouldn't make a difference...
>>705987425
u better pick up that air guitar ur momma gave u as a present
>>705987118

>>705987164
>This shit doesn't get you fucking paid
stopped reading there
>>705987597
yes there are tons of producers in fl, including myself. I don't label myself a pro and i haven't worked with any "pros". Couldn't you screen cap something more impressive to get your point across? Also if you truly are offering decent advice, what is your suggested set-up for an amateur home studio/mobile. Bare essentials for getting ideas down.
>>705983970
> Implying the number of tracks is a measure of producing ability
https://soundcloud.com/jacobheckman/sets/lovecraft-a-rap-album
>>705987682
Then you are a retard. Rappers don't pay for production. They don't pay for studio time. It's like squeezing blood from a stone. Our secretary calls 500 times a day. Lol if you believe they're not living on borrowed money anyway.
I meant PAID$$$$ not paid minimum wage you fuckwit
>>705987928
>Implying simplicity is even a thing in the modern pop music industry
i actually worked with many famous rappers like yourself op but i dont want to say who tho because im full of shit. just like you
And im motherfucking eminem
>>705986081
ok but is it a good rap song? cause you dont seem ready to share your music
>>705987903
i literally screen capped a beat i worked on for like 15 minutes in my free time lmao and i never said i was a pro lol i have just worked with some rappers
>>705988418
i dont rap retard. i make beats for rappers
Do you know Taylor Swift?
>>705987070
how is that mpk mini?
they look good in the store
worth the price?
what kind of sounds are you getting?
>>705988306
WOW UR SO COOL!!1!11!1
>>705988566
no, thankfully
>>705972881
How does it feel to know that A.I. will replace your job in within 5 years.
>>705988487
nigger you didn't even answer my question, just got defensive again about the quality of your shitty screen capped fl garbage. Op is a lying cunt and wasting our time. I'm out.
Im trying to get into music production using fruity loops are there any free sample packs i should download that could help (im trying to make drum and bass fyi)
>>705988639
Why not? What have you hear of her?
>>705973219
the fact you won't just means you're full of shit, faggot.
>>705972881
How cringe inducing was Macklemore? And are you aware that he made an mk tribute site in the 90s about John the MK Janitor and a small fan game called MK Mopologies where the eponymous John used a mop to clean up crime?
>>705972881
I'm just gonna straight up say you seem like a fucking tool OP. We get it you watched an hour long YouTube video on how to make rap beats so you think you are big shit even though now days DAWs like FL studio take no talent or skill to use. Not to say that they can't be used effectively, but your track looks like shit. Not even basic rap beat just shit.
>>705988677
i literally was responding to what you said to me lmao see ya dude
>>705988672
pretty good
>>705987928
Are you fucking retarded? Do you not see the levelers and effects in the back? Jfc go back to Garage Band you autist.
>>705989051
no one gives a fuck
>>705988564
oh i forgot, you only make the entire fucking song.
if op is too pussy to post soundbites then its only safe to assume is shit and he is a booty ass garbage beat'r.
>>705989016
ahhh jealous people make me feel so much better about myself :)
Why does just about every rap song these days start with "Unh, yah, cummon cummon, word, unhun-unhun"
Not necessarily in that order
>>705983970
i feel the same
>>705989202
>world of warcraft
how does it feel living in the basement of your parents house you fucking nerd
is there any rap not in 4/4 time
its a lightweight art
>>705989154
That doesn't change the fact your track probably took 5 minutes to make. One track takes me upwards of a month c:
>>705988995
>John the MK Janitor
thats kinda cool in a 'things no one really cared about except for a couple of weird ass people in the 90s' kinda way
>>705989286
15* thats cool. i meet famous people, wbu?
>>705989318
Useless trivia, I know.
>>705989364
DJ'd with famous people fagget
>>705989265
Pretty good man. atleast i can make works of art while you sit on 4chan all day pretending to be cool.
>>705989420
yeah im sure dude
>>705989110
apparently someone does if they have the time to respond to how shitty someone's idea of making music is so sit your ass down, 200lbs
>>705988591
Pretty nice actually, I got it online for 90 dollars when it was on sale. It's pretty good for 90 dollars. Sadly I'm not really experienced so I feel like there is much more I can do with it.
>>705989635
we get it bro, you spend weeks or months on 1 song and then what? lol i spent less than a day on a track and make money from it
>>705989833
>not always less than a day but in some cases
>>705989636
yeah i want something i can use as a sequencer and a beat pad. i just a launchpad but i think it fucking blows. its cheap and live lite is ugly af.
thinking about the maschine jam, looks so sexy
>>705989579
Dude I'm not fucking sitting here saying I've fucking DJ'd with like fucking deadmau5 or anything like that. I've opened for a few notable people. I don't know why you thought people on this site would praise you like some kinda God. You are obviously fucking lieing OP. I really hope nothing in this post is serious. If you are really this fucking desperate for attention go shoot up a school or something that's the only way people will ever know who you are.
>>705990016
>opened for notable people
>cant even spell lying correctly
seems legit
>>705990177
>avoids point of the paragraph
>attacks a petty mistake
Like I said fucking tool
>>705990252
what was the point lol. you just said i was "lieing" like ok lol think what you wanna think dude
>>705972881
name your patterns before you call yourself a producer
>>705972881
Check out my youtube fam I make trap beats and thier kinda ok hmy
DAW doesn´t matter you fucktards
Every DAW on the market has it´s pro and cons - export quality of them depends of the synthesizers and samples used but the tools provide all the same functions without any quality difference (except maybe programming of proprietary plugins)
>>705990457
omfg i named the fucking tracks that's good enough
>>705990457
Let's just assume you are not lying, because obviously I can't prove you are and vice versa. Why so you feel the need to post about your "success" on /b/ of all places.
>>705990615
finally someone intelligent
>>705990666
>replies to wrong comment
>argument = invalid
You win OP time to kill myself
>>705990666
what success? we talk about naming patterns
>>705990666
idk im bored on a thursday night. and i wasnt bragging or anything i just told people to ask me stuff then other people got jealous n shit.
>>705990666
Satan's truth
>>705990827
The fact that you say jealous makes no sense. You post on a site known for people constantly lying out their ass of course people are going to be skeptical, and assume you are lying.
>>705990615
That's not actually true tho. Fixed point vs floating point makes a difference. Also the mix bus handling makes a difference. Also the dither. Just because most people can't hear it doesn't mean it isn't there. I guarantee you would hear a difference between protools and logic and Vegas.
OP is a glorious faggot.
>>705989833
OH WOW YOU'RE SO COOL XD Who's buying them, kidz bop? Sit your autist ass down. Show us your music right now faggot and I bet money it won't actually be you, nigger shit.
>>705972881
why dont you add more layers? wtf is wrong with you?
>>705991211
read the 200 times i said its a simple rap beat i made in 15 minutes
>>705991096
those are all optional and every DAW can enable/disable these export parameters
>>705991347
"Music" + "rappers"
LOLFAGGOT
>>705991308
SO? add the layers so it doest not sound like all 14 year old youtube producers, also how much do you get paid for a good beat?
>>705991308
Stop saying it's a simple rap beat its not an excuse for being fucking lazy.
>>705972881
post a screen cap of a vox post processing
also fl pleb
>>705991411
SO im not selling it or anything. i literally made it in 15 minutes when i was waiting. so why would i give a fuck about adding layers
>>705991436
well it is tho
>>705972881
OP you work with famous people just like my uncle works for Nintendo.
>>705991600
You heard anything off "To Pimp a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar. If you haven't listen to it and come back and tell me that it's just a "simple rap beat"
>>705991885
the fuck are you talking about. im saying the picture i posted is a simple rap beat i made. im not saying all rap beats are simple
>>705972881
Do you have any experience in using FL studio for other genres of music?
I am wanting to do some recording with various instruments, and I am mostly familiar with FL, and don't want to learn another DAW.
can FL be used effectively for live recorded music?
>>705992050
https://www.image-line.com/support/FLHelp/html/recording_audio.htm
>>705992014
Why post a simple picture to prove your point? If you are who you say you are you could just pull up a complete project and screencap that instead of making yourself out to be lazy.
>>705992050
nah not really go to that link the other guy posted i guess
my dad is a music producer, but rather in Pop/Rock direction. And all he says, is he doesnt recommend getting a music producer! PPl are getting loweer standards, and musicians do it oftem by themselves with certain programms etc
>>705992194
i wasnt trying to prove anything. i just asked for people to ask me stuff ffs lmao
Fruity Loops? You are cancer. Abelton is god!
>>705992255
I don't get you OP we seem like complete opposite this argument is obviously going nowhere time to go kill myself because OP hurt my feelings
>>705992280
sure, use whatever you want
>>705992352
ok bye
>>705992280
>Abelton
>>705992437
Fruity loops is good for beginner. Pack downloads add quality but not that unique. I have used fruity loops for years and it's not that difficult. Abelton allows more vocals to be incorporated especially if you have the launchpad.
>>705991555
oh so op doesnt even sell his music. most likely because nobody wants to fucking buy it
try harder op
>>705992642
Agreed!
Hey OP
Who was your favorite person to work with
>>705975017
>clicks and clacks
This nigga lol
anyway tho

>>705992642
fucking retard, i said im not selling the beat i made in 15 minutes ahahah
what my shit looks like before i clean it up
What kind of mastering chain do you have?
>>705972881
Looks like you used a pre-fabricated stock scale module.
>>705992801
ummm download FL studio and watch youtube videos and tutorials to get the basics then you will start kinda learning it by yourself
>>705992923
Nailed it
>>705992923
>then
I actually have done this so far. I watch videos and understand what they are doing but it's such a weird stress on my brain, like learning a new language.

who r u give a hint

why bother telling this to retarded fl users?
they are too busy torrenting Nexus, shitty samples and presets
>>705999138
and making chart topping songs
>>705999204
because their listeners are retarded
take martin gayrix as example and you will understand
now go back to pirating vengeance samples
>>705999505
>>705999138
Obviously you don't do much producing to know that they have the EXACT same capabilities, they are just different layouts, and some of the features are labelled differently. You think the program used affects the sound quality of the plug-ins and samples used? FUCK you're retarded. Applefags will say anything to justify the fact they wasted their money.
1/10 for making me reply, faggot.
>>705972881
When your song structure looks like that you're probably not that skilled
>>705999662
fl studio has the worst cpu usage
there are lots of rumors of it having shitty sound quality
ofc you don't know any of these because you are to narrow minded to try anything else then your beloved fl
everyone knows only 5th grade kids use fl studio , as well as nexus, vengeance samples, massive and serum presets, and guess what? THE BEST DEFAULT PLUGIN IN FL soundgoodizer, oh yeah and i forgot the sausage fattener
i hate apple, i use windows
see? only a fl user would think that someone who uses ableton has apple products.
now go ahead with the nexus presets
>>706000189
I've used both, I started on ableton and I wondered why it seemed to make the simplest parts more "difficult" to just visualise. FL got rid of all that and there is perfect clarity.
Regarding sound quality, where do you get your rumours from? Fellow butt buddies at the local coffee shop? Because so fucking many of the highest selling beats and songs have been produced using FL.
Ableton is the "default" for applefags, 70% of people who have actually tried both programs prefer FL, and that's from the various people I know actually studying production.
Lol no one uses nexus though, do be serious.

If you weren't using a shitty mac, the CPU usage doesn't even come into it.
>>706000617
what genres are you producing ?
>>705998703
Are you implying that genres like techno and house count as music? kek
>>706000841
Techno
>>706001019
I've been through phases of liking every single genre out there, except for techno where I've been addicted for years. It's a very acquired taste, one for intelligent minds, when you break down other genres, you realise they're even more "the same" than techno songs.
>>706001019
What do you like that you think is so amazing? I can't wait to hear this...
>>706001228
yeah, I kinda get that it is an acquired taste but i feel that techno is only made to be enjoyed on a shallow level; there is no underlying philosophical/artistic idea
Yeah, I know that sounds really snooty, sorry
>>706001632
That's where you're wrong unfortunately my friend, it's complete freedom to express whatever sounds are going through your head, inspirations come from video games, books, scenery, life events etc.
There are no rules involved except it shouldn't sound like the other genres out there. I don't need to hear mindless "lyrics" which stopped having any real meaning about 20 years ago and are just there to fill the gaps of an otherwise boring song.
>>706001886
>are just there to fill the gaps of an otherwise boring song
Yeah, I kinda agree with this.
Idk I'll try to give techno a chance, in all honesty I always looked down on it without any reason. Cheers

Well there are a ton of factors at play if you're running intel Celeron with a 5200rpm HDD with 2Gb of ram then yeah it's gonna suck. Even on the image line site states that the more Cores and higher clock speed your CPU has the better the performance, just saying..
