Simple Loop Mix - Freefalling Whistle Edit
http://youtu.be/5qi5YGfNs0c
Made this on garageband, it's the first time I've used it and this only took about 30 minutes to put together so it's obviously not great
It sounded better the first time i listened to it but now every time i listen to it, it sounds worse haha!
It's very simple loops of the synth, bass and drum beat. It was very easy to put together.
What can i do to improve my editing and mixing skills... anyone know of any good software?

Re: Simple Loop Mix - Freefalling Whistle Edit
I like it. What you did, I believe, is create a backing track with loops then played whistle over it, correct?

But there's no substitute to just doing exactly what you're already doing. GarageBand is an extremely good package to practice mixing and editing. You can also try Audacity, (which does not really have different functionality than garage band, but presents it in a different user interface style).

I'll let you know what software they use in the course above, if you want.

Hi Finlay, I'm a new TradTechie, pleased to meet you
it was a very clean recording -- I'm envious. How did you record it?
Looking forward to more of your experiments...
BTW, this vid demonstrating FL Studio's features is so funny. It could induce epilepsy.

edited to say -- what I like best about FL Studio is the piano roll. You can enter notes by typing them in directly, and can zoom in and out with great detail.

I'm learning FL Studio, but I'm not sure I would recommend it... anyone know of any good software?

GarageBand has a keyboard "piano" control too, but I didn't find it easy to do chords.what I like best about FL Studio is the piano roll. You can enter notes by typing them in directly
I am seriously considering getting something like this for the rare time I want to do MIDI input:
Re: Simple Loop Mix - Freefalling Whistle Edit
The 1990's version? Or the really early version?Reminds me of Cakewalk.

Re: Simple Loop Mix - Freefalling Whistle Edit
I have all three of the Korg Nano controllers. They are useful in that they are compact and very portable.fearfaoin wrote:I am seriously considering getting something like this for the rare time I want to do MIDI input:
The keyboard is really not playable though at least not if you are a keyboard player. The chiclet style keys are too stiff. It may be useful for piano roll input of individual notes as Caroluna describes. It can be used to trigger loops and samples though and works fine for that.
The NanoPad is decent and I do use it both for beat development and for triggering loops in a loop sequencer - like FL Studio, Abelton Live, etc..
The nanoKontrol works fine is you want to twiddle midi controls and have your finger on a slider instead of using a computer screen and some type of pointer to do the job. It looks more and more like everything is moving towards touch screen interfaces anyway.
Akai makes a more useful micro keyboard the LPK25 and pad controller the LPD8.
A better choice for general midi keyboard input is to use a standard midi keyboard controller like the M-Audio Keystation, Keystudio, KeyRig or similar from Roland, Yamaha or Korg. M-Audio also have a micro version of the Keystation available now.

M-Audio Oxygen 25 25-Key USB MIDI Controller
Pluses -- as a midi controller, it was plug 'n' play with all my software
It's compact
Minuses -- if you want to play above / below that range, you have to hit the octave up / down button
I found mine used on e-bay. The guy who sold it said he was very happy with it but decided he wanted more octaves.
I picked this kind because of the nifty little knobs (*) in the upper-right corner. They can be mapped to the controls on a soft-synth. Unfortunately, it's going to take me all summer to learn how to use them. It's rough when you're a gear head and a n00b
(*) Same issue w/ my keyed Copley. "Look at all the cool key thingies! Now what do I do with 'em?!"

Ah! I see -- a many-layered answer!I was mostly implying that it was delicious when you do it right.
I tried Cakewalk once. I thought it was crummy.

Yes, that makes more sense than does the Korg Nano.Caroluna wrote:I have one of these
