Re: How to make kicks and snares 'punchier'?

scooping kick frequencies between say 200 and 1000 can make the kick sound cleaner as well, which to me translates into punchy. There is a good tutorial based in FL about this by imageline. I also do as Ollie said and layer a specific hihat sound or white noise on top of the snare can give the snare...

Re: Switching from FL, Necessary?

People paying out FL usually don't know what they are talking about :roll: They think it makes them sound sophisticated, and they are probably threatened by your music.

Re: SOLD ALL GEAR, Building Studio after 5+ yrs, PICS!!!

I do like to have a mid keyboard to mess with melodies, easily trial different chords, etc. I can't play the keyboard, but i've now had the midi controller for a few years and if I produce with it off I feel like my hands are chopped off. It's just easier to play different sounds rather than mousing...

Re: Tips on being more creative?

For me being creative means being prepared to make something shit, not holding myself to standards. When I forget that the next track I make is not going to make me famous, I make crappy music which I don't like.

wtf are you saying here? That digital is better than analogue ? GTFO. If that the assumption you made, then I can assume that you mostly like digital only productions, even though you still think analogue is superior.
