Creation of tracks on the computer. Making music online

The projects presented below are far from unique on the Internet.
There are other similar web portals on the Web.

Create your own music online for free, sing and record, save to your computer, etc.
Simple, but not just interesting, but original creative online studio.
All the possibilities and features cannot be described, but the use of keyboard control in the functionality is worth paying attention to. That is, you can create music, even write notes yourself using a computer keyboard.

    Consider the example of player piano » player piano
  • Hover over the image a little higher and turn on the video for clarity to a short instruction below (the duration of the video is only one and a half minutes).
  • You can play the piano keys with the mouse, but the harmonious sound of the music is unlikely to work.
  • How to create a melody?!!!
  1. Press the "Songs" button. A small playlist with track names appears. Select any ("click" on it) and click "Play".
  2. You will hear a short musical track, and various letters and symbols will be displayed at the top of the line. It can be seen that they are all on the computer keyboard.
  3. Now we will use the "Notes" button and in the additional menu that opens, click on "Computer Keyboard" or "Piano & Computer". After that, it becomes clear which key on the computer corresponds to the key on the piano.
  4. To get started, play the instrument using the computer keyboard.
  5. Then you can already try to create your own music.
  6. Use the "Clear" button to clear the line and type in it two or three dozen in random order, for example, numbers (as in the video). Set the cursor to the beginning of the text and click "Play" - listen to the resulting melody.
    Who cares who wants to independently compose their own music online....
  • Take any simple text editor, even "notepad" will do. Type in it the text from English letters, symbols, numbers, i.e. it will be music written by you. Save the file with extension .TXT.
  • The "player piano" has an "Open" button. With it, open your created file on your computer and click "Play".
  • Listen to what melody you got, and then it remains to edit your own music. work!!! Naturally, you can then save everything you like - Save.

FL Studio is an advanced music production, mixing, mastering and arranging software. It is used by many composers and musicians in professional recording studios. Real hits are created with this workstation, and in this article we'll show you how to create your own music in FL Studio.

After downloading the program, run the installation file and install it on your computer, following the prompts of the "Wizard". After installing the workstation, the ASIO audio driver will also be installed on the PC, which is necessary for its correct operation.

Music Creation

Writing a drum part

Each composer has his own approach to writing music. Someone starts with the main melody, someone with drums and percussion, first creating a rhythmic pattern, which will then grow and fill with musical instruments. We'll start with drums.

The creation of musical compositions in FL Studio takes place in stages, and the main workflow takes place on patterns - fragments, which are then assembled into a full-fledged track, located in a playlist.

The one-shot samples needed to create a drum part are contained in the FL Studio library, and you can select the appropriate ones through the program's convenient browser.

Each instrument must be placed on a separate track of the pattern, but there can be an unlimited number of tracks themselves. The length of the pattern is also unlimited, but 8 or 16 measures will be more than enough, since any fragment can be duplicated in the playlist.

Here's an example of what a drum part might look like in FL Studio:

Melody creation

The set of this workstation has a large number of musical instruments. Most of them are various synthesizers, each of which has a large library of sounds and samples. These tools can also be accessed from the program's browser. Having chosen the appropriate plugin, you need to add it to the pattern.

The melody itself must be recorded in the Piano Roll, which can be opened by right-clicking on the instrument track.

It is highly desirable to record the part of each musical instrument, whether it be, for example, a guitar, piano, kick drum or percussion, on a separate pattern. This will greatly simplify the process of mixing the composition and processing instruments with effects.

Here is an example of what a melody written in FL Studio might look like:

How much to use musical instruments to create your composition is up to you and, of course, the genre you have chosen. At a minimum, there should be drums, a bass line, a main melody, and some other additional element or sound for a change.

Playlist work

The music fragments that you have created, divided into individual FL Studio patterns, must be placed in a playlist. Follow the same principle as with patterns, that is, one instrument - one track. Thus, constantly adding new fragments or removing some parts, you will put the composition together, making it diverse, not monotonous.

Here is an example of what a patterned song might look like in a playlist:

Sound effects processing

Each sound or melody must be sent to a separate channel of the FL Studio mixer, where it can be processed with various effects, including an equalizer, compressor, filter, limiter, reverb and much more.

Thus, you will give individual fragments of high-quality, studio sound. In addition to processing the effects separately for each instrument, you also need to make sure that each of them sounds in its own frequency range, does not stand out from the overall picture, but does not drown out / cut down the other instrument. If you have an ear (and you definitely have it, since you decided to make music), there should be no problems. In any case, there are plenty of detailed text manuals, as well as training video tutorials on working with FL Studio, on the Internet.

In addition, it is possible to add an overall effect or effects that improve the sound quality of the composition as a whole to the master channel. These effects will apply to the entire composition as a whole. Here you need to be extremely careful and attentive so as not to negatively affect what you have done with each sound / channel separately.

Automation

In addition to processing sounds and melodies with effects, the main task of which is to improve the sound quality and reduce the overall musical picture into a single masterpiece, these same effects can be automated. What does it mean? Imagine that at some point in the composition you want one of the instruments to start playing a little quieter, “leave” to another channel (left or right) or play with some kind of effect, and then start playing again in its “clean” form. So, instead of once again registering this instrument in a pattern, sending it to another channel, processing it with other effects, you can simply automate the knob that is responsible for this effect and make the musical fragment behave like this in a particular section of the track: as needed.

To add an automation clip, right-click on the desired controller and select "Create Automation Clip" from the menu that appears.

The automation clip also appears in the playlist and stretches to the full length of the selected tool relative to the track. By controlling the line, you will set the necessary parameters for the control knob, which will change its position during track playback.

Here's an example of what FL Studio's piano fadeout automation might look like:

In the same way, you can set automation for the entire track as a whole. You can do this in the master channel of the mixer.

An example of automating the smooth fading of the entire composition:

Exporting a finished musical composition

After creating your musical masterpiece, do not forget to save the project. To get a music track for further use or listening outside of FL Studio, it must be exported to the desired format.

This can be done through the "File" menu of the program.

Select the desired format, specify the quality and click on the "Start" button.

In addition to exporting an entire musical composition, FL Studio also allows you to export each track separately (you must first distribute all the instruments and sounds to the mixer channels). In this case, each musical instrument will be saved as a separate track (separate audio file). This is necessary in cases where you want to transfer your composition to someone for further work. It can be a producer or sound engineer who will mix, refine or somehow change the track. In this case, this person will have access to all the components of the composition. Using all these fragments, he will be able to create a song by simply adding a vocal part to the finished composition.
