Guest Kits Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Hey Was wondering if anyone knows if and which labels accept tracks sequenced on Fruity Loops... also, is there anyone who would like to explain to me the way a compressor works, I don't quite understand what the "attack", "Release", and "Thershold" knobs do to the sound. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spiralix Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Record labels dont accept music depending on what program you use.. use anyprogram... as long as they are good enugh the program you made it with doesnt matter.. i have a friend who release stuff made with fruity..

Guest Kits Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 nighttime trance, minimalistic but not the extreme.... Some of my tracks are in pretty good shape and I am thinking about putting together 2-3 tracks on CD and sending them out. Problem is I really don't know much about the way a label deals with raw material.... how close to the absolute finished product in terms of sound quality, mastering, etc should my tracks be before i send them out? Any of you know labels like Shuffle in Israel that also deal with artist development and not only in realeasing stuff? thanks, excuse my English Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reece Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 "....Problem is I really don't know much about the way a label deals with raw material...." send out the best-est, most finished and polished versions of your tracks that you can. and only to the labels that you know release the style of music that you produce. Good Luck! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phlux0r Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 About your compressor question. there is a great number of online tutorials and texts about compression, just do a search and/or visit some music magazine sites - most of them will have tutorials on compression. Basically a compressor will "crunch" all the sound that exceeds your set 'treshold' by the compression factor set with 'ratio' and will begin it's compressing action after the 'attack' time you set and will apply compression after the sound goes back under the treshold for as long as the 'release' time. So, as an example: If you set your treshold to say -10db and set ratio to 2:1 and attack to 5ms and release to 10ms then the compressor will half (ratio 2:1) the level of anything in your sound that exceeds -10db but it'll start this after 5ms and hold it for 10ms after the sound has dropped under -10db again. Another parameter is gain since compression basically makes your overall signal quiter, you can add that much back by increasing the output gain so you get a nice loud signal again. If the ratio is set to very high (infinity:1) then the compressor acts as a limiter limiting the level of your sound to the set treshold. You can see that compression is most useful for evening out spikes and transients in your sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zebra Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 the attack, release and sustain are the envelope of the sound, the envelope of a waveform describes the way that its intensity varies. ATTACK: is the manner in which the sound begis and increase in intensity. RELEASE and SUSTAIN(internal dynamics) describe volume increase, decrease, and sustentations after the peak period, while decay is the manner in which the sound ceases. each of these sections has three variables: time duration, amplitude, and amplitude and variation whit time.
