How making music how does one go about knowing what instruments to use together?
I’m practicing making music on fl studio, (it’s music production software) but when it comes to using different instruments I don’t know what instruments to play together. The genre of music im making is hip hop music how can i go about learning what makes a certain song a hip hop song. Also If im writing a song in a certain key using one instrument should I use that same key for all instruments used.
First off i’m going to give you a heads up, learn FL studio but move on the moment you get familiar with the software to something more professional and get a midi keyboard. Try reason for pc or logic studio for mac.
I suggest you listen to some of your favorite producers, some instrumetns packaged with FL just aren’t needed. Check youtube for fruity loops tutorials, you can also find hundreds if not thousands of forums that cater to fruity loops producers. I will ask you personally as an artist and producer to stay away from too much synthesizer..fruity loop producers love synths but its over used and played out now. You sound like you are eager to learn and that’s the most important factor in it all, watch some basic tutorials on the layout of the software and then watch some videos of others making beats of FL Studio..by the end of that process you’ll know more or less what you need to get going. After that post up when you need more advanced assistance and i’m sure others will be more willing to help when your questions are less general and more precise to specific action or sound. Good luck.
