Music making

[Penguino619]

Hey,

So i want to get into beats making

Was is the best free software out there that allows me to import or allows me even to do mashups/create my own beats.

I am very new to this but all help appreciated.

Also any good software under $30 would be appreciated

I don't condone cracking software but FL studio is probably the easiest and best producing software that has cracks everywhere.

I think perhaps it's against the rules, sorry to say, mate. :tdown: Would advise people against doing this.

There is a free version of FL Studio. You just can't re-open saved projects.

FL studio! $199 license is completely worth it. $99 license works too

Adds up when you also need to pay for addons

Making music isn't cheap :3

I used to make beats in the free version of FL Studio. I'd recommend it 100%. But as mentioned before, you just can't re-open the files. If you don't want to spend money, I think this is a good way to go. You could also search an FL Studio crack on YouTube. However I can't give you a link here because iirc its against the rules. I know everyone else said this but I just wanted to tell you my thoughts as I used to produce as well and still kinda dabble with it.

As a producer of six years, I highly recommend FL Studio, but please support Image Line if you do decide to make it a career, because seriously, they put time and money into making such a great program. I've put $1,500 into music and I don't regret a single cent. If you ever have any questions on how the software works, there are tons of awesome guides online for you to use at your disposal. Another alternative that is free is LMMS; it also may depend on what type of genre you want to produce. If you can save up $200, I'd get FL Studio Producer edition, which comes with a lot of great features, and honestly, that's what I used for a bulk of my producing career until recently, and it'll definitely get the ball rolling for you.

Kind regards

I purchased FL Studio Signature Edition without having much of a clue about Music or how to produce it.
I figured out a good amount about FL Studio's capabilities along with Music Theory by smashing random buttons on my keyboard. I do not regret making this purchase, as there really are unlimited options for you through it. There are sounds that can be used brilliantly in a film and for professional usage, but more specifically when it comes to music, there is nothing more satisfying in the world than coming up with your own catchy melody.
Never been a huge Music fan in my life, nor an artistic person but this has greatly changed my perspective on how I view both myself and Music on its own.

Do you write compositions that are of the film and professional type or beats?
Am curious how much music theory you utilise.
Hope that doesn't across patronising (not the intention at all), I just compose a lot of orchestral work and have studied music and theory for a while. I'm interested in knowing how much is utilised in different types of music writing.

I mostly follow my motivation at any given time, whilst looking to not leave many unfinished projects on the side. That said, I don't pursue beats not really, but I've experimented by making some. I mostly focus on more Eccentric music. Occasionally I compose sounds that serve a very specific purpose, for a film rather than listening to them. Lately, I have been using Synthwave a lot and focusing on more Retro 1980's stylish music.
Now, I am not familiar with Music Theory, at all, but I often reach out to some people I know who are experienced with it. They often comment that I use a good amount of those rules, which is understandable, as most of these are required for a piece to sound good.
I basically press random keys until something sounds good and later on, I may flip the pattern or reverse it, follow a common mathematical arrangement, and organize my keys that way.

That makes sense, thanks.
So, you utilise the key elements of music theory but achieve them but working out what sounds good rather than applying the 'rules' ?

 

[twinightcreep0]

That's correct because I do not know the rules. Those that I do, I've figured them out on my own.

Sweet.
Very interesting to know. Thanks.
