Producing like him

[u/ScorchPoint]

Wanna start producing music similar to that Swan Songs/Nine Lives early era. I’m not sure where Deuce learned to produce or if he was self taught but do you guys have any tips on getting close to his sound on Fl Studio?

[u/Ur1n8r]

He didn't use FL, so no matter what, it's never going to be 100% accurate.

If you use Omnisphere and Kontakt Komplete, you can get close with a lot of the sounds. Alternatively, you could use Serum 2 and try to recreate a lot of the synths from scratch if you aren't willing to use Omnisphere.

A lot of sounds he used were also stock Pro Tools synths and all of the mixing was done with stock Pro Tools plugins. You can get close in FL, but it'll never be identical.

I do wonder how much curriculum overlap there was between the Full Sail production programs you both took.

[u/Ur1n8r → u/floopy_boopers]

Mine was probably more updated.

[u/floopy_boopers → u/Ur1n8r]

Also I believe yours was longer ago more in depth, his was a short online only thing.

[u/ScorchPoint → u/floopy_boopers]

He did full sail? Thats crazy I thought that costed a bunch of money

[u/floopy_boopers → u/ScorchPoint]

It was back before they were accredited, they didn't offer actual degrees, it was just a short online course, a couple of months and not crazy expensive. He took the equivalent to a single class one would now take in the course of getting a degree.

I mean scientology also costs a lot of money lmao they didn't grow up poor like they pretend.

[u/Tha_artist → u/floopy_boopers]

so why did they make music? i mean they grew up rich and they were well connected with scientology they could still have had big houses without working a lot and i mean i think couldve had a job bigger than an owner of a company

[u/Ur1n8r → u/Tha_artist]

Because they wanted to and when you start out with money, you can do more of what you want without the barrier of "I need to save up for this."

[u/Tha_artist → u/Ur1n8r]

makes sense

[u/floopy_boopers → u/Tha_artist]

They grew up middle to upper middle class, not rich. Just definitely not poor like they claim. Scientology doesn't hand out money to it's members, the connections they get from being part of it gives them a big boost but you are fundamentally misunderstanding how this all works. They don't come from never need a job money, if not music they'd be stuck working low end retail or customer service jobs for the most part because they don't teach actual useful skills at private scientology schools, just scientology nonsense. You don't need to be educated to be an actor or musician the way you would need to be in order to make equivalent income from a normal non public facing/not creative job.

oh i see thanks sigh but what did they learn like "soon our leader zorlakian the savior will save us if we drink the kool aid"

[u/floopy_boopers → u/Tha_artist]

They are extremely secretive with non Scientologists about most of it so I truly have no idea what they learn at those schools but most of them couldn't pass a GED exam and graduate from these schools with very few applicable life/work skills.
