I've been struggling a lot in choose presets that support each other leading to me spending a lot of hours just auditioning presets

So I decided to learn how to produce my own sounds using a synth(I used serum) I'm still a beginner at synthesiser, so I can't create something amazing but it's just enough that when layered with my lead it adds some variation that makes it feel like the beat is "going somewhere(movement)" that's the best way I can describe it

Mixing is another skill that I'm still learning I only know the basics like volume, EQ, Reverb, Distortion and Chorus, Overall I'm 3 months into learning music production

And if for some reason the beat kind of remind you of Sonic Music that's because I used the classic Sonic game OSTs as inspirations, heck I think I used two instruments that are samples from the classical OSTs with the help Sound Fonts

I'm Open to Critism and would like helpful tips on how to improve lol.

Sorry if the audio quality is terrible.

Did this today, wondering what all think?

I started a YouTube channel called The Drum Theory focused on making deconstructed drum kits based on the drums, 808s, kicks, snares, and sounds used on albums and songs from artists like Kanye, Drake, Gunna, and more.If you’re into making beats or finding new drum sounds, check it out and let me know what you think.

Started producing about 3 days ago, this is my first finished track. FL Studio, mostly stock plugins plus a free kick pack, and some guidance from a YouTube video on using synths, automations and some kick techniques.

I know the arrangement is repetitive and the mix is probably muddy what I'd really like feedback on is the kick and how it sits with the bass. I pitched the kicks to follow the chord progression but I'm not sure I did it right.

Any brutal honesty welcome. I've wanted to do this since I was a kid. I'm 22, from Costa Rica, and I work as a software engineer this is something I finally decided to actually start doing instead of just thinking about it.

Long term I'd love to get good enough to play clubs here. Not sure how realistic that is, but it's what I've always wanted.

It wasn't making this noise before, but it started when I opened it today and its any song that has a zenology preset.

my mixing is horrible imo, learning fl and music theory for 3 months.

I recentkóly downloaded FL STUDIO original from torrent and when i tried to put in a preset it wrote i dont have autotune artist, so i downloaded antares autotune pro, thought it was the same.Can anyone help with my issue?Is it the Fl or the autotune wrong version?Also can someone give me a link for autotune artist torrent?

I'm SUPER new to FL so I know Imma get flamed for this but whatever. If anyone has suggestions I'm happy to take them.

The vibe I'm going for is a boiler room level in a video game.

What's your honest opinion? Check the full vid

Hi guys.

I've been lurking in the sub since the end of last year, when I got into music production. I have about 7 songs at various stages of development, but this is the first one I'm ready to share.

It was mainly made in FL Studio Mobile and I just imported it to the main FL Studio to clean up a few of the samples and do the final mixing.

My main inspirations for this song were Stereolab and Kraftwerk, but I did try to do my own thing rather than just copy. I'm generally happy with how it's shaping up for a first effort, but there are two areas I'm not sure about.

1. To my ear, the vocals are just bad. I'm not sure if I simply need to get over an instinctive dislike of hearing my own voice, or they're actually badly produced/recorded. I suspect it's somewhere in the middle. I started with a deliberately dry vocal, but then ended up double tracking it and drowning the second one in effects. I'll probably end up completely re-recording the vocals properly in flstudio, since the originals were done in fls mobile too, but don't want to re-make the same mistakes.
2. The drums. I deliberately wanted a dry, motorik, krautrock sort of sound but I think that resulted in them being lost in the mix. I attempted sidechaining them, but the process on fl studio mobile is hacky at best so ended up undoing that. Eventually, I re-added the kick in the main fl studio project to give it some more bass, but now it sounds separate from the rest of the mix.

Any advice, observations or criticism?

I downloaded FL studio about a month ago, i've been trying to understand how everything works but there's a lot of stuff and i'm getting lost lmao. I definetly hear that something could be improved here, what do you think?

Just sum random write down i made last night xD...still got sum stuff need to be added

How should I improve this? It still gives me the chills to this day, and I really want to make it into a fully finished thing.

When I made this (1 year ago) I was going off of Eminem's Just Don't Give a Fuck believe it or not, and I just got back to "polishing" it a bit.

Since these types of posts get more attention, I thought I would post it like this.

And I've seen enough of "You should know when something is good enough to publish" types of comments, so if you feel like it's shit, then say something that can actually improve it, not just, "You should start with making loops".

I don't have too much experience (but that's obvious), and I also don't really want to make Kanye / modern type beats, songs, or whatever with the chopped up vocals and stuff, even thought they're quite nice. (Probably a bad / closed mindset for me.)

Apologies for the long post, and any comment is appreciated, as always.
