!st Beat with FL 8!

  • Artist: SOLE
  • Title: !st Beat with FL 8!
  • Genre: Experimental Electronic
  • Year: 2008
  • Length: 6:00 minutes (9.62 MB)
  • Format: Stereo 44kHz 224Kbps (CBR)

Check it out... Ever since reading when I came home the forum about FL 8, I went ahead and downloaded it. and installed it on Vista. Since then I have tested the save function and it works VERY well. I even installed it on another hard drive instead of my normal one which has FL 7. Well, if I loaded up Nexus it crashed and so I believe the secret is to click a box in the step sequencer where kick is and then save. From then on you can add the many vsts you want without error. Build it up and it automagically detects the vsts in the other hard drive. But not soundfonts or pack samples of course. I am about to rectify that situation. FL 8 is great and I love the artwork added. It houses more then 220 different changes since FL 7 and has some cool stuff. This is my very first fool around with FL 8 and this track is trippingly sweet. No doubt I don't have it done yet but I will post here again when the product is finished. This is a sample and a taste of things to come. Please be aware I have done a hell of alot since an hour ago.
UPDATED to full COMPLETION!

THIS bitrate kbit was uploaded at 450kbit thanks to FL8. However I notice it only shows at 320kbps. Funny shite.

Also the fade in and fade out was a side effect of the instruments themselves and I kept it intentionally because it is mesmorizing and makes ya frigging trip if you close your eyes.

The Sole's picture

No uhuh I haven't fooled with anything new yet. I do wanna check the slicer. The song demonstration this go around wasn't as good as FL 7's with Mr. LEARY.

Frank Marquis's picture

i haven't heard that yet....i never really listen to those anyways...did you click on that list of changes they made....man its really something

The Sole's picture

Yeah. Should keep us busy for awhile huh?

Pitbull's picture

cool ass track Sole....you're going to go nuts with this FL8 I see.

GIECHI DAN PRODUCTIONS's picture

Sounds Hot! I like the New crisp sound. sounds like it went well first time around on fl8

The Sole's picture

Thanks Guys!
Yes Ed! Could you give it to me? Want anything in return?
P!tbull it is Nexus spiced with Amplitube.
Wolf? You know it bro!
Yeah Giechi, no problem. I just gotta experiment with all the new features. I am still blown away by the quality factor at which one can export in FL8. I mean can you imagine...450 kbit? It doesn't matter if it is CBR. 450 stomps EVERYTHING in the mud! Thanks

The Sole's picture

oh Ed? The fx used were parametric eq 2 and multiband compression. Those are old settings from FL7 etc... what makes the fade in and fade out is really just the result of the bass. It is individually tweaked. Chained.

Sole chek your email for the plugs

The Sole's picture

Thanks bro

Amittai's picture

Nice one Sole! G'luck with the new software. Upgrages are exciting.

The Sole's picture

Yeah they are Amittai, thanks 80) I am about to record a vocalized version to Mike S. 's STRANGE BLUES track. I have never done blues before but this is feeling right and I have already written the lyrics. I am about to record my vox in the laundry room using a laptop I bought for a hundred dollars. THe thing is... for me this IS an upgrade as well. 80) Cheers man.

id give it my own shot, but im only working with fl7 and i really cant afford 8, people say that fl offers free upgrades. but i,,cant do that for certain reasons lol.

micky_blue's picture

on another note though, the song sounds sick. im excited to hear the finished version, word up bro :)

Amittai's picture

Yo, speaking of laundry rooms, you should try putting the mic on a foam pad in the dryer and sit down in front of the dryer and sing into the opening... You should try that shit.

The Sole's picture

LOL! Thanks guys! I'll have to try that. I apologize for replying late to these comments. I have a lot to catch up on. I will be uploading the finished version of this song this weekend. Stay tuned! ..and thanks!

This is very trippy Sole, nicely put together bro. Lovin FL8, especially the new playlist. It's great using the audio clips & automation clips instead of the pattern blocks because you can instantly see what's going on. Took some getting used to but it is a vast improvement. Yeah check out CamelSpace too, very cool FX.
