thankyou bro, appreciate the comment

i can get a tune out of a keyboard im not great, my younger brother is a good pianist and guitarist he's played with some big stars like Alan Mair and Dave Stewart. i played drums for years but got rid of my pearl set awhile ago now, drum machines aren't great but they are quieter if you get my meaning.
and i appreciate every time you listen bro, some of my work is lets say hard to listen too, so i understand you got to be in the mood, keep sharing your opinions homie it helps more than you think

thanks Rita if i can help i always will, and when it comes to us amateurs sharing especially free stuff is a big help most of us don't make money so not having to pay for stuff appeals, if i was making from music I'd buy the best i could, the free links are good enough, ive spent enough anyway, ive got a decent set up now to be fair. if you ever need help on something just ask, I'll always help as i would for anyone

ive got a couple of keyboards just never had them out for ages.
i sent you a private mail few days ago, might be in spam or old account just some pointers and some really good freebies with links. giving back, your a good friend and FL user :))
as for your issue i can suggest a cheap, and cheap being free and decent solution.
open FL open your sampler and add fruity keys or close grand from your instrument pack, drag and drop it on to your sampler. highlight the typing keyboard first one after song position button, right click it and choose minor natural + chords, then use your letter and number keys as your piano nice sound and no delay. you can use them to play any instrument, vst or plugin. and guess what FL is always recording you, even if your just messing and you come up with a little melody and can't remember what you pressed, press tools tab press dump to score log you can choose up to 30 mins, press it then open your piano rack and its all nicely placed in there for you, all the notes if you made a mistake you can change the midi too bingo your a pianist :))

thanks Rita im really proud of this work, even if only one person that suffers with mental illness takes something from listening i will have achieved my goal. i was so scared, firstly accepting something was wrong then coming out and saying it. now look at me, i openly promote it. i know it starts with you first, then, and only then can you tackle how your going to make things change to suit you, take ownership of it then your in control

thanks for the positive feedback mate, ive been putting more into production, routing it to bus tracks etc, improving my music theory too, thanks for the checkout Bou

thanks for giving it a check bro, glad you liked it,

thankyou Krotan, i can assure you im such an amateur bro, but your comment inspires me to keep on improving

bro thanks for checking it out, like you, i do it for me and yeah its fun but even though its fun i think its important to still give your best.
after all the advice ive been given, its not worth wasting so i improve to hopefully pass on, believe me bro im never gonna make a penny from this, i cant believe im doing vocals and im surprised im at this level, communicating with some real talent and getting away with it :))
your probably right about the vibe, my tone isnt a perfect fit but i liked the track and you know i like to sing about you lot, your my biggest listeners
and G always say what you feel, thats the whole point if you cant take critique your in the wrong place, i respect you homie, your a long standing friend and a great producer

it was free on YouTube

thanks for the check out Angel, you know me always trying to bring the happy, i like your latest to Rujay, i have heard his and i like young gotti too, pendo 46 is good as is certibeats and dizzla d
thanks again lady

haha this came in as i was listening to yours Aaron, them were the good days i believe, comments and listens were good, a closer community,
although its much quieter here these days we dont do bad in featured and yeah we self regulate, the shit is easily disposed.
sharing is king, not just music but the knowledge and like you my knowledge is limited but most learnt here

V so nice to see you around bro, i have stepped things up quite a bit on the production sides, the communities help and advice has been very helpful too. this place has just sucked me in, i want more knowledge, thanks for stopping off and leaving a positive comment mate, really appreciated

thanks Aaron, i have had lots of help from our community and always try to give back, im a fan of everyone that shares with us as you know, even if im not a fan of a particular style or genre, i will give you a listen and comment if i can add value or just my own opinion on how it made me feel.
i listen to music differently now i produce and sing, we all know good when we here it, irrelevant of genre, that's really for the anoraks. your ears are the best tool to gauge a track.
this community is good but could and should be better, there's some tremendous talent here, i don't consider myself to be one of them bytheway, ive got something to offer because of my enthusiasm, i will always encouraging. we need more though, more collabs, more comments, competitions, challenges, freshen the place up, admin give us a good platform but it needs improving, i might start a thread about fresh stimulus :))

thanks for the listen bro, always trying to spread happy :))

hi T,
i will do some research into cadence practise'
although it doesn't come natural to me, i have an understanding of what your saying. my music theory is limited, i don't read music, but have researched minor 3rds, flat fifths, 7th, 8th notes, diminished chords, triads and triplets, chord progressions etc its still all Chinese to me tbf, but at least i know about these things now, i never even knew they existed till 3 months ago :)) with help from the likes of you and others in our community i will improve, comments like this are so important mate, helping me build knowledge, it makes me want to research more too, keep sending the gold nuggets bro

bro thankyou for the great comment, practise and practise and my engineering is improving routing differently now, that's were the magic happens :))

thanks so much Wayne, ive been doing far more on the production side.
had 3 vocal cuts on this in three different keys and i side chained my fx's in and routed everything through bus channels. you know the proper way, i now feel i understand what im doing and trying to achieve. less of me just winging it,
when i first started it was a couple of tracks, music on one, vocal on one, and fx on side slots, there was 22 layers on this :))
thanks again for your support as always mate

thanks for the back up stop Modnex and the confirmation about the adjustments, this was my first attempt using buses on my mixer and side-chaining fx, still got lots to learn, but its a start :))

thankyou bro, appreciate the kind words and its encouraging to read the positive comments regarding my progression,

thanks for the encouraging comments bro, really appreciated. i like most are never happy and keep messing, i went back and increased the reverb on your advice, but i tweaked the delay too, that was the problem, i couldn't see it. i opened it slightly so the echo sits in the pocket now, i think its warmer, but is the delay now to much :))

cheers bro, starting to learn more about routing and side chaining, its opened up a whole new world :))

Rita your continued support is always encouraging, you are a great friend to have here, i sang 3 different cuts on this, one in C one in D and one in F, there's a little more variation to the first upload, that was all C, but getting from A to F, i might struggle :))
i want more variation in my vocal, tone charges but practise takes time, i can hear improvement, especially in the timing, and like you, i never dreamed of singing until about ten months ago, i was shit scared to be fair, but the engineering is what makes the difference. with reference to your reply about bus tracks, its worth investing some time into it to improve your production, you tube tutorials on creating bus tracks is a big help
you are one of my longest friends here on the loop, im always there for you, you are also one of my inspirations here too, remember 'shout out to the producers' boomboom Rita Bonzeonmars, keep dreaming big guys, raising stars,
i thought you were fire 3 years ago when i joined, now i just love you

thanks Mark, i still have alot to learn about music production but feel im ticking along just fine. this was my first effort at side-chaining the fx in, i would normally just use the side slots on the mixer, but was finding i needed more :)) i use patcher which is a fantastic plugin that gives you much more expansion on one slot with lots of control and it gives you a good understanding of how to build the fx, but side-chaining them in from their own mixer track gives you far more control to make things much tighter being able to isolate everything individually and get the levels just right, not bad for a first effort, i intend to improve though now i have a clearer understanding

thanks for the compliment Ian, i really felt this one, Matthias' music was great. its nice to see you around, hope all's well and we get something fresh from yourself soon, although time seems to be a factor for lots of us of late, me included, haven't done anything for a month
