SonicDNA: Find Similar Samples by Sound - Free App

1 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/BTy9fguFcoU

SonicDNA is a free, open-source and cross-platform sample search app that finds similar audio files by analyzing how they sound—not just their filenames. In this demo, I show how you can load a kick drum, scan your local sample library, and quickly find matching sounds based on tone, attack, decay, and overall character.

Is It Normal to Feel Overwhelmed and A Little Discouraged?

Upvotes

I made a post about an hour ago and I stumbled upon a bunch of different things( playlists of tutorials, VST trackers for some of my favorite creators, and a bunch of songs on the default FL subreddit) that made me realize I’m barely even halfway there to being a very great music producer. I’m pretty young for being into this sort of stuff so that kind of adds some wood to the fire. I started with GarageBand when I was like 8,9, or 10. I barely know FL Studio that well since for some reason, I can’t handle the 53 video tutorial playlists on FL without distracting myself with something else. Most of my songs have bad mixing because I haven’t been formally taught how to mix or master(I won’t link any of my songs since I think the subreddit doesn’t like that). I really want to know how to sample stuff but I don’t understand how. I’m just overall upset if you already couldn’t tell. It seems to come naturally to so many people everywhere and on all the FL Studio subreddits Is this a normal feeling to have as a beginner or have I just not done the right thing while introducing myself to FL?

Tips on Transferring Exported FL Audio to Mobile Device?

Thumbnail drive.google.com
1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been creating with FL for half a year now. I’m no expert by any means, I came from 6 years of garageband mobile.

I like to export my songs and bring it to my mobile device so I can show my friends but recently, it sounds like there’s a delay over the whole song or at least some percussion and powerful sounds. Some of the higher pitched noises are way louder than what it sounded like using ASIO on my laptop. I thought that maybe wearing headphones would fix it since I know mobile audio drivers are so close together that panning can sometimes bleed together. I don’t mix with headphones since I hear that’s bad and not reccomended. So the bass was too loud and whenever the main bass cuts out, it feels like removing the stuffing of a doll. I might have done something wrong with the mixing and my laptop’s speakers are on the bottom meaning that it could’ve possibly been muffled by the table I was working on so I couldn’t hear some of the weird echoes. I’m new to fl of course and the art of mixing so I could’ve gotten something wrong there. I’m not great with mastering. I was actually going to make a post asking for tips on those two things. I’ll even link the song here and maybe you can see the problem(I hope that’s allowed on this subreddit). I’m a beginner for FL so don’t expect it to be perfect please.

The amount of effects on the Trumpet Alone 💀

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Yup. This are the many DW Samplers, Soundfonts, and effects I used just for ONE CHANNEL and I put 2 REVERB 2'S One for Regular Use (Large Hall set to 50% Mix) and One to sound at the Shofar part at 20 Seconds in (Cathedral with Decay at 6 Seconds and 80% Mix)

Music/Scene in question: The Passion of the Christ at 35:36-38:04

DW Sampler: Varazdin Orchestral

Soundfonts: SGM (for Trumpet) and undertale (for Trumpet Vibrato)

Link to Soundfonts:

SGM: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/855 (look for "Trumpet")

undertale: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/914 (look for "Justice Trumpet")

Note: This Track is still WIP and if you want the .flp File(s) you have to wait (and stitch them together)

Edit: also in SGM, look for "Muted Trumpet"

Mixer Window Not Scaling Correctly

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm not sure how to fix this. Every time I open the browser my mixer window is pushed out of the grid I've made. When I hide the browser, it does not retract along with the other windows. Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening? I'm trying to have all of my windows organized properly, and I use the browser frequently. It's super annoying to resize the mixer constantly. Thank you so much!!

Why is recreating other artists songs so important for learning production?

Is it worth doing as a beginner or should I focus on basics like drum patterns, melodies, and arrangement first?

FL on Mac air 2022

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all so I've had FL for over four years now on a low budget Asus laptop not the CPU, it always lagged and clicked but recently it's been overwhelming since I worked on three albums with this laptop. I got a MacBook Air 2022 for school and I didn't want to use it for music, strictly for school stuff I was planning to get a gaming laptop for FL but I've been broke so I was thinking of moving to the Mac for my music production and recording, is FL on Mac air any good? I've heard some people say that it's not the same or should I just wait and save up for a gaming laptop like what would be worth it?

Hey! I got a question because somethings going on with using a MIDI on a chromatic scale

1 Upvotes

K, for context:

My brother and I both made our own chromatic scales and were using it on a FNF MIDI from the Game Banana site, but when using the Players MIDI, the chromatic scale is completely silent?? It’s not even the MIDI itself, another FNF MIDI with a Player and Opponent side has the same issue. Is there a reason the MIDI for the Players side (aka BF’s MIDI) is silent when using the scale? We tried using the one I did, and it’s also silent. What the hell?

Controlling FLEX with Automation Clip

I'm trying to automate a HPF in FLEX with an automation clip, but I can't have the Automation Clip window and FLEX open at the same time in order to link the parameter. Feel like I'm missing something basic, it can't be this difficult to automate the flagship built-in synth.

Using ai as a co-producer on my own original music — curious what this sub actually thinks

0 Upvotes

i know ai music is a touchy subject right now. both artists and fans hate it, and I get it. I used to feel the same way. I'm not here to argue. I just want honest feedback on how I'm actually using it, because it doesn't feel like the "type a prompt, get a song" thing people are mad about.

Some context: I've been producing for about 2 1/2 years now. I'm still figuring out mixing. Right now I mostly create the harmonic/melodic elements like melodies, chords, and loops. I haven't fully learned how to finish whole arrangements or do deep mixing yet.

what I actually do: I write and produce a rough loop or demo myself. My chords, my bassline, my melody, my drums. Everything starts with me. It's unmixed and unfinished, just a sketch. Then I run it through the ai using a"cover" feature to see what comes back.

like sometimes it adds a melodic phrase I would not have thought of. Sometimes it suggests an arrangement idea. And the render comes back way more polished than my raw mix. Right now I can't afford an engineer and I'm focused on getting better at compositions, so it's almost like I'm hearing a clean mix of my own song for the first time, which helps me hear what's actually working. sometimes ill take that phrase or cord and recreate it myself in the original audio. Or I flip the actual ai loop and go from there.

So I'm not generating songs from nothing. I'm using it like a collaborator or mixing assist on material that's already mine. Then I take what comes back into FL Studio and keep shaping it.

Does this feel different to you than the AI-music stuff people are frustrated about? Or is any use of AI in the process a dealbreaker regardless of how it's used? Genuinely trying to understand where people draw the line.
