A read for Everyone

[royaldeadman]

Pretty curious to know who others build tracks? I'm sort of getting exhausted using maschine and trying to chop samples. Can i go on youtube find sounds like whatever and chop those? Is that bad? illegal?

Down the road I'm hoping to get a record label started and get a business loan. If that ever came about I'd be looking at trying to get some neat gear. Are those big studio mixer boards really still used nowadays? Analog, tape?

back to the now.....

Where should I go from here to make music? I mean I only have Maschine for a controller at the moment so I'm limited. Should I try N learn fl studio or just stick inside maschine for now?

Oh, I wouldn't know, I guess I'm old-fashioned. I make music using things that are called "instruments", for which you need skill acquired through practice. This takes time, effort, and patience, but guess what? At the end, you can make your own "loops" and "samples". Why, you might not even need second-hand "loops" or "samples" at all! Hard to imagine, but it's true, I swear. Many people have done it.

If you are using maschine, why not load up some nice VSTi's into it? You don't have to stick to using only static samples. And although you may feel that your controller is limited, I'm pretty sure you could still get lots more out of it than you realize. Just keep at it and avoid getting distracted in GAS, better to master one tool/environment well than to just dabble around with many IMO.

You could learn one of the 800 VSTi's you have

For me there was nothing to read here. Please fix your thread title and stop trolling!

Where should I go from here to make music?

Well, you could actually stop thinking the choice of tools is the important bit, and actually work at making music for a bit.

This.

It took me awhile to figure that one out when I started too...but really now.

perhaps you should save some of that money ,

yes, I think it's time for the ASPCA to get involved here. animal abuse is just wrong.

does mentioning euthanasia makes me a bad person? really, it's more humane for all involved sometimes, albeit a difficult choice.

learn everything!
drink up!

u got maschine, u got massive.... instead of choping samples what will sound bad(cause in maschine sample editor u never cut wave in perfect center - there will be click at start and at end), break into massive.. its easy.... use easy logic and set parameters in right order.... dont forget(cause mastering of massive will take minimal month - best synth ever) make frequently default presets.... i can help you a little more.... when mastering massive(iam not master right now:DD) take feedback to post amp/pan, set feedbacks insert to parabol and second insert will be too last in a row.... simpliest setted massive:))

(If I understand you correctly), I advice you to build some muscles first. When you are ready, learn how to use a Jackhammer (or road drill). Chopping is not enough skill to build roads in my humble opinion.
