Sir can you explain why there is a equalizer on each mixer track on the Fl Studio's mixer and should we use it ?Because i have never used it!!.By the way love what you are doing, keep up the good work.....
I've been using fl for year an never really paid attention to all the feature and things it's capable of doing but this tip right here takes the cake forsure
I would love for you to do a video that is about sending things to labels. For example, how you knew you were good enough for it to get accepted, little tips for sending etc.
I'm probably late to the party but thanks for this. I have a question regarding this very topic... so let's say you load a sample into Edison and do "detect pitch regions", then it shows you a whole lot of pitches scattered throughout the sample, how do you figure out which key the sample is mostly in?
i would say look at all the pitches on the sample, copy them onto an empty piano roll by clicking each one in, then on the top left arrow of the piano roll, click View, the Key Scale Highlighting or sum like that and look through the preset key scales on there and whatever matches on your notes in the piano roll, is the key
Hi, this is a very common effect used in most genres. I have a video about such an effect here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E0187CCg2fY.html
For a hit-hat whose key I'm trying to identify what you suggested produced two keys as the answer: F4 at the beginning when the hat first hits and as it trails off B5. I believe it's probably F4 I just didn't expect two answers.
I knew this already but if the sample has more markers with different pitch how do you know wich one to choose? I think the one with the longest region i guess
You will be able to see which notes are the dominant ones and which scale it is based on the notes detected. Another good plugin for detecting pitch is G-tune. It's a free plugin which detects the key of a sample and it also displays the dominant frequency as well. I have a video about how to use it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0weLtcxMWUw.html (The download link is in the video description)
what about loops man. like something that has like 5 notes in it . how do you pick the right key can we get a video on . finding the key on advanced samples
Sir how can I determine any downloaded sample pack if it is compatible for MacBook Pro? The down loading website does not say any thing about the compatibility. Thanks.
Hey. Got question what if i want to find the key of the whole song?I just dragndropped it in edison but it splits the track in every note and there’s bunch of keys now. Any other way to do this. Thanks for vid!
You're welcome. There's a few applications that can do that. Mixed in key for example, or keyfinder (which is free): www.ibrahimshaath.co.uk/keyfinder/
I had no idea Edison could do that. (I usually use the SPAN to see what key the fundamental frequency of a sample is.) I do wonder however, what key is Edison going to detect on noise sweeps and other sounds that don’t really have any pitch.
There's a free plugin called G-tune that can also be quite useful for these kind of things. I have a video about how to use it, and you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0weLtcxMWUw.html The download link to the plugin is in the video description btw.
How can I check the key of like a whole loop. For example a female choir sound loop / violin/piano loops etc etc. ?? Because from what i understand if our main sample or lead loop is in e minor for example....then we need to put other loops /samples /sounds in e minor key only...to make the track sound right..??? So my question is according to that. And is there any way we can change the key of a loop/sample according to our needs....like for eg. Change an audio sample/loop from a minor to e minor.. or watever
im confused, if i was to have a melody and an 808 in 2 different "keys" how would i go about making everything sound good together and put it in the same key?
808's are typically very tonal, so you can use keys that's in the scale you're in. It doesn't have to be static like most other kicks which sound best when they have a tonality that matches a key in the scale of the track, most commonly the root note.
I just try this But in vocals it shows every nots like A5, F#5, E5 and many more. Then how can we decide that what is the specific scale of the vocals. Because I can't play piano I use that fl studio scales options for better chords progression. But how can I do it if I don't know the key 😔
Thanks. Indeed, they are not 100% reliable to say the least, but can still be a good indication. If I had unlimited amounts of money I would just buy a lot of different computers and put them to the test :D
@@FireWalkMusic thank you for the answer. sry but i meant the best way to CHANGE THE KEY of a sample from a sample pack for example and what method you think it´s the best?
A compression tutorial is in the works. The script is actually 90% finished. Just trying to tweak it so that the video doesn't get so long. We always try to make short and to the point tutotirlas which is easy to grasp, but I 'm still struggling a bit to make a compression tutorial that's as short and simple as the other videos. :)
@@FireWalkMusic Did you try compressing the tutorial video so the longer parts of the explanation are even with the shorter parts? Aaaaay, producing jokes.
Question. After I detect the pitch, is adjusting something as simple as choosing the note on the piano roll itself afterwards, or should I go into the channel tab (can't remember if it's found in ins or misc tab) and click to change the highlighted root note on the miniature piano it shows? Because i've seen some people do the second.
Depends on where the root note is. If it's C then sure, but if it's not then you have to assign it. Otherwise you can use the pitch knob in the channel settings for the sample. If you turn it up 100 cents then that equals 1 semitone. So if you have a sample that's E and you want it to be G# for example, then you just pitch it up by 400 cents.
So if I have this A bass and put down a C not in piano roll is that a C or A? Do I need to tell/set something in FL Studio that would make it that way? Thank you!
It's a bit more tricky on vocals. If it's a short vocal sample, like a vox or one-shot or something then yes you can. However, if it's a full length acapella then the notes will go up and down and down all the time so you'll have to figure out what scale it's in instead.
In order to find the key of the track you'll have to rely on your ears. You can also use your midi keyboard to help pinpoint the key by pressing notes. The note that "fits" with all the chords in the track will usually be the key of the track. There's also plenty of software out there that can analyze a whole track and determine it's key. They're not 100% fool proof though, and some times they can get it wrong. But for the most part they work quite well. Examples of such softare is mixed in key and keyfinder. Regarding samples, usually it will sound best when the tone of the sample is also found in that spesciffic key that you're in, but not always. Some times in orchestral music for example a composer will use something that's out of key on purpose in order to create tension or counterpoint etc. There's really no rules in music. That's probably why it's called music theory and not music rules. :) The only rule I've found that really applies at all times is as follows: As long as it sounds good, it's ok.
Will this work if I try to rap and identify the key in which I'm singing in order to try my best to harmonize certain parts? (I have close to no knowledge on music theory and all that)
Yes, when you click on a sample the sampler popps up. You can then use the pitch knob to change the key of the sample. It's displayed in cents. 100 cents = 1 semitone. So if you're in C for example and you want to pitch it to C# then you need to pitch it up by 100 cents. Keep in mind that you need to set the algorithm to streatch, or else it will speed up or slow down as you pitch it.:)
You might have to find it manually. Try playing your midi keyboad while the vocal is playing and see if you can find the correct scale that way. If you start with C and press it constantly while the vocal is playing, then C#, D, D# and so on. Once you find a key that sounds good all the time while the vocal is playing, then you have most likely found the root note, and that will probably be the correct key.
I am looking for the most accurate sound that you can get from a VST for the classic JP8080 style supersaw. What is the best synth for supersaw oscillators that sounds the most accurate? EDIT: just thought of Nexus, but I don't want to just use nexus presets, I want to know what is actually done with a synth to create this sound from scratch.
Supersaws are quite easy to make and can be made with any vst, including the stock ones in FL. The main difference between the vsts are probably the effect sections, where some add more analogue modeled saturation and such. In theory, they should all be able to replicate the same basic sounds. I own Nexus myself and I bought most of the trance related expantion packs. It wasn't cheap, and to be honest. I almost never use it. I prefer vst's instead, such as sylenth and spire where you can tweak the sounds to fit your production better. In Nexus, you're pretty much left with the preset as it is. You can change reverb, delay, filters etc, but you can't change the fundamental sound in any way. The sounds are also usually layered in Nexus, so it's great for that. If you find a sound you really like then you can just drop it in and be done with it, while when using VST's you typically have to layer several sounds yourself to get that thick sound you're after. The problem with Nexus though is that the pre-layered sounds doesn't always fit in your track, and I find that it's often quicker to just do it yourself with conventional synths. :) I find that Nexus is great for pianos, pads, strings, brass etc though.
If you know music theory then you should be able to determine the root note of the acapella by looking at the pitch regions. However, if you're not an expert in music theory and don't have a trained ear then using software such as mixed in key or keyfinder will probably be the simplest solution. Just drop the acapella in, and it will analyze it and display the key it's in.
How do you find the root note/key of a full song? Multiple pitch keys pop up when using this method. Sorry, I’m kinda music theory illiterate and can’t find good short info online about this.
if you're not good at music theory then the simplest way would be to use software to autodetect the key, such as the keyfinder or mixed in key for example. You can usually also find the key of a track rather easily by using a piano vst for exampl. While the track plays, try hitting the first note C constantly. Then D etc.. When you find a note that sounds good no matter what chord is playing, then that note will usually be the key of the track.
FireWalk Yea, that’s what I’ve been doing most of the time using autodetect softwares or playing the piano with the song but I was hoping there was some kind of button or trick in FL to make it more convenient. Wish FL had a Key Detect function for every sound file that was added like DJ softwares.
@@NeonKue No auto detect software is fool proof unfortunately. These "detectors" can get fooled in some situations. For example, some times there's notes in there that's not in the key, so called "accidentals" which is important in order to generate tension in some chords etc, in which case it can fool it into displaying the wrong key information. So you can't trust these softwares blindly, need to rely on your ears too. Listen to the chord structure. Tracks in specific keys will often start or end with certain chords, so that can also be used to determine it. If you struggle with this a lot then I recommend reading up on some music theory, as this will make it much simpler to determine the key of a track. There's plenty of good books out there. Two books that I can safely recommend is the "Dance music manual" by Rick Snoman, as well as the "complete idiot's guide to music theory" by Michael Miller. These books are easy reading and it's time well spent, as you'll definitely benefit from it later on.
Hey im having a problem my sounds our out of key to my sample how do i find the key to my Sample and how do i find the key to my sample after i raised it 300 simi tones ok another main problem how do i get my sounds to fit the key of my sample... i have an idea i know its sorta fine tuning but every vid ive watched never went into detail 4 example even when i raise it a few simi tones how do i find pitch or tone and whats the diff between the too i love learning and im sure people would love to learn that in detail thx please help
100 cents = 1 semitone. So if you're in C for example and you pitch it up by +300 cents then that means that you have gone up 3 semitones, and you're now in D#
Yes. Make sure that the "stretch" algorithm is enabled in the sampler, and then pitch it up or down by adjusting the pitch knob. 100 cents = 1 semitone. So if you're in C and you want to pitch it up to C# then pitch it up by 100 cents.
