Fruity Loops Tutorial

[DJ RE:HAB]

Does anyone know were i can get the basics from for fruity loops, iive only just started using it, and the tutorials that are on my program are for Gates, and appregiattors...

Can anyone email me it if possible....

I need to know along the lines of 3 Osc, TB303's, etc etc, and how and when to use them, also need to know how to create a riff that flows well.

Any ideas guys?

[DJ RE:HAB]

cheers spunkmonkeys,

got there in the end eh?


Been findin it pretty difficult, to use at the mo, ive sorted two tracks out, to be honest there wank, as basic as they get...

i need more work on the bassline side of things and riffs at the mo...

Ill let yer know how i get on...

Nice one wezley, and everyone else who posted a link, cheers!! ;)

[DJ RE:HAB]

further to my other post :(

Can anyone possibly give me an outline on what to do to produce an outline and Riff, basically explaining the basics...

what to use, which sounds are best etc, what order?

This would be greatly appreciated...:)

Thanks in advance..

[cascade]

well for a start if your after good riffs you to have general understanding of a piano roll or be pretty good with notes etc. Or if you know what sounds right or wrong you can do it by trial and error.
riffs are just clever arrangements of notes.

if you want a free riff add me to msn and i might send you some if your super dupper nice to me.

:clap:

[DJ RE:HAB]

what about basslines then?

[wellso]

what about basslines then?

this is where I also struggle with fruity loops, my bassline always seem to appear dull with little substance to it.
