The first thing DTM beginners should do
This is yosi from Chillout with Beats.
The first thing to do when starting a DTM is to decide what kind of DAW to use.
Please refer to the following article for that.
Next, how do DTM beginners stumble?I don't know if I should get closer to my ideal songI think that's what it means.
For example, a drum pattern.Even if I listen to it with my ears and imitate it, I don't think at all.
I was able to imitate the pattern, but the sound was completely different.
The synthEven though they are playing the same chord, the spread and presence of the sound is completely different.And.
In the EDM and club music genres, FL Studio is pretty easy to solve.
Then, please listen to what kind of project is actually included.
If you like it, please download the trial version of FL Studio by following the steps below.
(Trial version is natural, but it's free)
If you are already using another DAW, you can get the essence with the trial version.
Download the trial version of FL Studio
Download and install FL Studio.
Although it is a trial version, it has almost no functional restrictions.
You can also export as WAV or MP3.
The only thing you can't do is open the saved file.
If you don't know how to install it, please refer to the following article.
Listen to the demo project, analyze and imitate
Let's actually open the song you listened to earlier from FL Studio.
The location is the following file in "Date \ Demo projects \" in the folder where FL Studio 20 is installed.
The great thing is that most of the soundsIt's made with FL Studio's built-in synths and effects.
If you don't know how to use it, you can't analyze it, so I'll explain it a little.
Opening synth riff
What is surprising is that the sound of the first pad and the synth sound that engraves the rhythm after that are the same.
First of all, this riff is a synth that comes with FL Studio called Sytrus.
This synth is output to mixer 15.
Looking at Mixer 15, the knob in the red frame in the figure below is enabled.
This means sending the same audio as Mixer 15 to 17, 18, and 19.
The sound of the pad at the beginning is made by applying an effect to Mixer 19.
First of all, Fruity Balance is used for fade-in.
Next, at the end of the pad, the synth sound that mutes and rhythms comes in.
The filter of Sytrus is gradually opened to change from a muffled sound to a bright sound.
You can use all the synths and effects in the trial version, so you can freely change the parameters, create riffs, and export them.
Summary of what DTM beginners should do first
I think that it takes time for DTM beginners to improve because the progress is unknown (cannot be reproduced) in order to reach the result.
Summarize.
・ FL Studio includes projects created by professionals.
・ You can open and learn the project even in the trial version.
There is a cool sound and I want to make it, but I don't know how to make it.
Even if you can see it by looking at Youtube etc., if you need a paid plug-in, you have to start from the place where you buy it.
FL Studio has a lot of demo projects, so you can buy it after you are satisfied.
