Title: Question for computer musicians
Post by: Pet Terry on Mon 17/05/2004 14:56:03
Hello.

Sorry about the bad title for topic, I couldn't come up with anything better. Also, if you think this should be somewhere else, feel free to move it o_O

Anyways. My friend and I have a small music project going on and since we don't have enough instruments  or skills to play them, we use computer software to produce our tracks. At the moment I'm composing a track that includes acoustic guitar and I found ok-sounding sample. However, the melody has chords in it and in those points it sounds like my speakers are about to explode, you know what I mean... right?

So my question is, is there a good way to avoid the breaking of the sound? Also, I would have use for better sounding guitar samples/soundfonts so if somebody wants to give them away, lemme know :P

if you're making this in fruityloops, try turning down the master volume, or recording parts seperately and then mixing them.
also, i know fruityloops needs quite a decent cpu and soundcard when you start using lots of chords on instruments that aren't just simple samples, but these problems don't seem to effect wave/mp3 rendering.

Thanks BOYD, turning down the master volume seemed to do the trick. Yes, I'm using FL and am aware of the CPU usage, however it starts lagging much more when I use lots of effects.

Now just to have find some better guitar sample, the one I'm using sounds more like a piano... ::)

What Fruity loops version are you using? In FLstudio 4 there is the Slayer plugin

I have FL Studio 4, probably the first release of it. It doesn't have Slayer plug-in, and I already found nice guitar soundfont. Now if I just had the full version of FL Studio soundfont player...

I might be able to record you a track... well, for electric guitar (and the acustic sound my amp claims to be able to play) I need a better cable for recording it to the computer... or for the real acustic guitar I'd just need a decend mic to record with...

but these thing's aren't too expensive...
