What do your songs look like?

AH!!!!!! MUSIC……MUZIK………MuziQ>>>><<<<<kNoteZ

Something along the lines of .

I know it’s pretty messy without any labeling on different patterns and my extensive use of the blocks, but it’s just what I’m used to I also never use this scaling in the playlist, it was just for the purpose of getting the entire track in the shot

One good thing about this thread, is that you see some awesome skins.

Well said!!

A lot of my songs tend to be really basic, running only FL Studio 10 at this point. I notice that there are people who run playlist track that contain patterns, and they also have a seperating bar at the bottom with an individual sample but I have failed to realize what this is and how to make my playlist look like that. -_-

we have one thing in common, i too have like half of my tracks or more only for the drums themselves haha

Really depends on the project, but usually pretty clustered

[quote quote="Plattitude":m7jk4nrw]let’s have a look at your songs, screensets from all apps are welcome..

i’ll start by showing what i spend my last two days with..

it’s a Logic screenset and one of the first finished tracks we recorded with a german MC called Don. it’s based on some simple idrum samplerplayers for the beat, kontakt2 orchestra instruments, 6 tracks for vocals incl. doubles/adds plus 3 tracks for cuts.

we recorded and edited the vocals in ProTools and then imported clean tracks in the beat-project-file for the final mix.

you can listen to an earlier version of this without cuts on our myspace-page

Nice work, got to start colouring my tracks after 5 years of using logic haha been told it can improve workflow.

Why wouldn’t you watch it if you could? Being able to see the waveform of the sounds you are using is an incredible luxury.[/quote:3i4bipfs]

I agree, some people are a bit narrow-minded.

is it legal to use acapellas from here to remake????

I wonder how few tracks you have within your projects.. I sometimes have up to 150 Midi and Audio Tracks in my Arrangment. maybe i’m doin something wrong.

But 40 is absolutely normal! Every CPU should be able to handle that and the workflow is still good.

Hi,

here is my Screenset. Its is a song that I did not finish yet, but you kinda get the Idea:

I use Reason for Drums ONLY since I really like the Kong. All the synths and the Mixing is done in Ableton. I also edit Vocal-Files (from acapella ) and slice them into smaller clips when I remix a song.

I usually have up to 8 Lines:
1 for Basedrum and Snare
1 for Percussion
1 to 3 for Bass Synth
1 to 3 for Chords

Best,
Hans

i try to color my regions in logic by track to keep everything organized. i also make markers to help map out song structure.
