So, recently a friend of mine has been introducing me to FL studio 10, i have been trying to create techno based music for a while but i still need practice. Now, some of you could be a jack of all trades and if thats the case some help would be appreciated.

If you like Fruity Loops you might want to get a copy of Reason too. It's another music suite that is quite good.

Also check out lynda.com for video guides on how to use this stuff.

Alright, thanks alot

Fruity loops is shit. (Edit: this is my personal opinion, but really, it is more of a beginner thing.)

Reason is good, cause everything is included (drums,synths, really everything). However, i find Reason to be a bit difficult to use, but that may be due to the fact i am very, very used to ableton.

Which brings me tooooooooooooo

Ableton.

I suggest trying this. Its not hard at all to get used to, and there are tons of tutorials out there (try youtube searching TornadoTwins ableton tutorial, it will help a lot). And with ableton, you have a SHET ton of included stuff. I can get you a torrent link to it sometime, or you can find it (search ableton 8 suite)


Then someday, when you get good, you could try cubase. Tons of big artists use this (flux pavilion, doctor p, a lot of others which im guessing you wont know)
But really, try ableton. Good luck let me hear if you make anything! I have about 6 songs in the making, but i always get interrupted before i can do much :/

But seeing as how this is my dream (truly), i cant just give up, now can i?

I don't use any of the preset items in Fruity Loops, i make my own beats and sounds using Nexus 2, Sylenth1 and other VSTs.

Oh and Vengeance Essentials 3 is the shit.

Native Instruments massive.

THAT

is teh shitsorz. honestly. try it out (coughpiratecoughwhat), it really is awesome. you may be a little teensy bit overwhelmed/confused at first, but after just playing aound with it a while, or watching tutorials (or both), you will find its quite wonderful.

Oh, I use massive for creating melodies using the Saw variants.

seriously, try ableton or cubase. FL sux >.>

EDIT: My god, ableton is so horrible how can you even use it

EDIT2: Wow, that sounded rude, Im sorry. It's just, I don't even know where to start in ableton because ive been using FL Studio 10 for like... Ever...

Ableton is hard to get used to but it is waaaayyy more powerful than FL. There are some good youtube tutorials on how to get started
