(a bit wip, subject to change) This is a show of the process of my journey learning music recently using FL Studio and IK multimedia tools.


Overview

This is the result of me learning how to make music via production of a lofi song. I wanted to do lofi as it’s a pretty easy genera to learn, and I’ve always loved the vibe of lofi

This project wouldn’t have been possible without a friend guiding me through the UI of FL Studio. They taught me alot of tricks, such as scale snapping, triads, and chords.

I used many different pluggins to make the songs. I use FLEX for the bass and guitar section, a custom lofi drum kit, and ik multimedias synthronic to make the synth parts, as well as use an ambiant track for the rain.

I also used pluggins such as reverb and equalizer to get that echoy and lofi feel.


Thoughts

Ive been trying to learn how to make a melody for this, but its really hard to get the right vibe, pacing, and sound, but i am very proud of the base line.

I chose to get the humble bundle bundle that is $25 dollars for 2000 dollars of IK multimedia products, which was a great choice as it is very high quality sounds, samples, and synths.

Despite this, i think the song sounds good for the short bit that it is currently.


Song evolution

Each of these songs differ as I learned new techniques and ways to adjest the sounds to get the vide I want.
