Anyway to fix my drops and composition here? Im a begginer

Any help is much appreciated! And any criticism or hate is welcomed, I need it to grow my skill:)

I cant seem to make a drop and get the sound and intensity im looking for. Also im bad at connecting parts together like as you see at the start where it just cuts and starts the next section. If theres any knowledge you've got, its a help for me. Don't be afraid to be blunt.

HELP: I'm trying to record guitar but there's no sound coming through my headphones.

When I try to record my electric guitar I hear no sound coming through my headphones, even though the frequency meter shows that it's picking up sound.

(I'm using the Volt 1 Audio Interface with all of the necessary drivers installed and my headphones are fully functional.)

Strange awful noise coming from mic [TURN VOLUME DOWN]

I always use headphones when recording so I know this isn't a feedback issue.

It was working fine the day before so I genuinely have no idea what caused this.

The mic works completely fine on every other app.

How to deal with overlapping frequencies? (kick and synth)

First off, please don't kill me i'm still sub 100 hours in FL studio. Trying to learn my ways around the basics of music theory and production.

I created darn nice hard techno kick, its full sounding and has a ton of power. However, its frequencies look like this:

https://preview.redd.it/l291qcrmrgbh1.png?width=653&format=png&auto=webp&s=e1fcf25950284f5098e780f39b95615d3b9f709e

Its... pretty much everywhere. But it sounds so good, i don't want to kill any frequencies, all i want to do now is add a synth screech to it. What ends up happening is that they of course fight for the...waves?....frequencies? and the kick is alot less intense when the synth is on.

How do techno producers deal with this? yes i could sidechain some stuff together but then the kick would duck and sound less oomphy or the synth would duck and synth is just an ongoing syren(yes, don't question my style in music) this would result in a weird pumping sound.... So whats the proper way to get both sounds to play at their "fullest" without making the kick sound less intense? Is there some magic polarity swapperoo one can do?

Feel free to point me towards some tutorials!

Most efficient way to import a MIDI file containing all drums/snares/kicks?

I got a MIDI drum file that I want to import into FL studio - however when I try to import the midi file into the piano roll, it imports ALL of the recorded MIDI notes as the kick drum.

All of the midi data is imported into one piano roll- so it just spams the kick drum at different notes.

I don't want to manually copy and paste each line of MIDI notes into it's own piano roll- I assume there's some way to do this that isn't manually copy/pasting?

Is there a plugin that makes this easier/quicker? I'm trying to cover a song(vocals, guitar, bass) and want to use a midi file for the drums since I don't play drums or have much experience programming them.

Is this the type of thing that a plugin like Addictive Drums can do? Or is that plugin mostly just a sampler?

Thanks.

Tips to produce a song thats been written/conceptualized?

This is bad where it’s at now, I’m self aware. I used an a I platform to generate this concept, and sped it up a bit; though the lyrics are all by me. The song is much longer, this is just a part of it. I’m not a music guy, so the terminology and understanding of music concepts are limited, but would love some advice how I could actually produce this song without any generated content. I don’t sing but I’d maybe do vocals then use something to make it sound better (is that possible)?

What’s an easy platform to music produce for someone with no music understanding? Ideally on my phone, though I do have a MacBook Pro too i could use.

Think I ruined my beat

I just made a beat but the full drums were in pattern mode and the song I sampled was in song mode. I think I ruined combining it all because when I do it just plays one sound from one of the drums, for example, an 808. I'm trying to put all the drums I made in song mode but I think I'm just really dumb and might be missing common sense. Also I've looked up on stuff on google to try to figure it out but it's not saying the right stuff and I'm so confused. I can't even make a beat like normal.

Any discord servers for collabs/help/tips?

My bad if this is against the rules - I was just thinking it would be cool if there was a discord server to hop on and collab/chop it up with producers/and ask questions on. I cant tell you how many times I have been stuck trying to figure something out and just wished there was a way to hop on and stream to get help from other producers. I'm no pro when it comes to the intricacies of fl25, and it would just be awesome to hop on and ask quick question or get another set of ears to listen to a jammer.

Does anyone know of one that exists? Or if anyone has an advanced understanding of discord, would you be willing to set one up? Could be cool to get like minded genre channels and different rooms set up for people asking questions or sharing music..

Just a thought. Good luck creating everyone!

jazz arrangement | question for jazz arrangers on here

I'm new to fl studio and composing/arranging, and I want to know if anyone who does jazz big band here would know how I would do tutti?

I have all the instruments I need, I just have a hard time with voicings, and get confused with when and where and also how to do it.

but here's my arrangement of "all the things you are" a popular jazz standard!

Is ai stem splitting ethical?

I pretty much just downloaded fl studio and have been trying to chop vocals and stuff but the songs I want to use have really loud instruments in the background that don't match properly when I piece it together. Stem splitting for the most part would seem to remove the issue. I don't know how or if it's possible to do it without the tool, and honestly didn't even know it was considered an ai tool until after I used it. Just wondering if I were to make a song using it would it be considered unethical? I'm pretty anti generative ai, I don't know if it falls into that category though.

How would you recreate this sound?

I like this glitchy sound when you select an area then slowly select more until it comes up to tempo of the song. I could just record this directly into edison then edit it to fit the tempo of the song but I was curious if someone could think of a more elegant solution.

How would you recreate this sound as a usable sample?

Also if I recorded it with edison is there a way to ensure it ends in the tempo of my song (IE the kick is repeating in 172 bpm if that is my song tempo)?

How do I sidechain with soothe2 ?

I recently heard the instrumental of Martin Garrix - Carry You. In the second drop you can hear how the leads kind of dissapear when the vocals were originally playing. My guess is that they sidechained it with soothe2.

In my example I have the vocals in CH30 and the leads in CH1.

CH1 has Soothe2 with sidechain enabled. The vocal channel has nothing and i routed to CH1 with " Sidechain to". yet when playing the soothe in CH1 doesn´t trigger.

the routing in the plugin aswell doesn´t do anything too.

what is my mistake ?
