Things that annoy you most about production...

Post by wub » Sat Jun 11, 2011 8:12 am

- In FL Studio, when you've got the pattern window open (F5) and then you decide to open the browser (F8) to have a look through. You find a sample you want, and press F5 again to open the pattern window BUT OH NOEZ because you're in the browser, F5 actually loads the sample you're listening to onto the channel that is selected, often fucking up what you already had.

You'd think I'd learn, but noooooooo I still do this at least once every other session :x

^^^That sucks, i never use the F buttons, only F9 and F5, thanks for reminding me never to do that though

When i have an automation clip in the playlist in FL, and i want the same clip somewhere else in a song so i shift click and drag to copy it, then i decide i want that new one to be a little different and i mess with it and i see its fucking with the original also because i forgot to make it unique.

Producing alone :'(
No seriously it's when I don't have any food, snacks or drink on hand.

knowing that it's all my fault plus rarely getting chance to have those long 12 hour sessions and properly get into it. snatching a few hours here n there can be frustrating.

The company that made my pc, they're assholes... My F# buttons are all assigned to do various system tasks and i cant figure out how to un-map them, so when f5 would bring up the step and f the playlist or w.e., i havent had that luxury in a good sixth month...

my f5 opens a calculator.

the thing that annoys me the most is that 20-500 hz range
it fills up faster than the others and is responsible for the "fat sound"

i really cant deal with it properly when there are basses and drums...

following one of the 1000 step by step reese/neuro/morph bassline tutorials, doing exactly what it says and ending up with unlistenable crap.

actually that's what made me quit producing for several months.

Too many groupies, I just don't know what to do :6:

Nothing about production annoys me, I love it, but lots about the music industry pisses me off i.e. Soldier Boy.

i did this exact thing yesterday. even at the beginning of the tutorial my sound sounded much less interesting and i followed it to a T pausing the video with every setting. by the time i had gotten to the end mine sounded pretty shitty....so gay lol.

clipping, production would be much easier if you could just make everything as loud as you wanted

How incredibly long it takes to get an idea from idea form into a decently listenable thing. The fact you have to work through a jungle of buttons, sliders and knobs to slowly churn your sound out instead of, say, sit with a guitar and jam something out which is much more immediately satisfying.

basically the logistics is what i hate. Everything else i love.
