[Schematist 47]

Hey all! I created another instructional video on how to build an RPG Town Theme. Hopefully this can appeal to beginners who want to get into game audio

While you don't get into the hardcore specifics, your style of teaching is incredibly easy to follow. Color-coding the different instruments was a very minor but helpful aspect, I should add.

Thank you very much. I think it is best to highlight the very basics and fundamentals because it makes everything way easier down the line. Thanks for your support !

It's Fruitt Loops (or FL STUDIO in short). Not 100% sure which version hes using, but I bet it's atleast 11 (11.0.0.3) or could be version 10 too.

Yes sorry for the late reply this is Fruity Loops or FL Studio for short. I am using Version 10. I did try 11, but for some reason I don't like the feeling as much. I really can't explain it

Umm hello Mr Schematist, can you tell me what plugin you used for that bass and pads ? also for the bell ? Are those from Nexus 2 or Sytrus or other plugin ? Can you tell me the precise name if those from Nexus ?

I'd like the sounds, thanks

This looks like it'd be helpful for a lot of people, however I don't have a thread of musical knowledge and I can't understand any of these types of programs at all. Like how to even play any notes. :/

  Give yourself a little time to play around with the program of your choice. There is no rush really. I promise it gets less scary over time . I would also recommend picking up the piano!

That FL keys I think is the best piano sound I ever found in many VST, how about you err. Mr Schematist ? Nexus Piano is to echoing I think..

The nexus piano has far too much reverb. I use it every now and then but I mostly use The Giant VST for my piano patterns.

[BoluBolu 1]

Giant Vst ? I've just heard it now, I think I should check it out, Oh yeah I've bought Zebra 2 and Zebralette yesterday, and yeah it works nice, I don't know why Zebra 1 didn't work though, however I don;t know which preset that is good for making RPG music in Zebra, May I know what preset you're using when you use zebra ? I mean piano or guitar or just other instrument ?

Umm you know, my question is a bit silly, but really, I can't find a good instrument in both Zebra, or it just my sense that is not good enough . Can you give some recommendation instrument from Zebra ? thanks a lot..

I really like the Giant. It is my favorite piano VST so far other than True Pianos. Zebra is a little tricky sometimes you might have to play with some of the parameters of the samples to achieve the sound you want. I really can't say what works and what doesn't hahaha. That is a question I can't answer what I may like you may not like and vice versa. I will say I do not think it is a good idea to use only zebra samples to create a whole song. try combining VST's to get a nice final track.

[BoluBolu 1]

Oh okay I will try to experiment with the parameter in Zebra, last time I check the Zebralette and Zebra 2, I think Zebralette don't have any good sound(at least for me) and much of the preset has weird name, so confusing(it makes a noob like me become frustrated), but I managed to find several good instrument in Zebra 2. It was a relieved

On the other day I look at some great orchestral VST called East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra, but I don't really know should I try it or not, do you have or know about that VST Mr Schematist ? I mean whether it is a necessary fo make a RPG theme ? The price is expensive considering they bundled in many package and series, I don't know if it's worth to buy or not  ?

Or dou you think Edirol is enough for orchestra in making RPG theme ?

Sorry if my question is a troublesome one.. I just thinking maybe you own it, or you know something about it.. if no then forget about my question..

Thank you very much.
