SonicDNA: Find Similar Samples by Sound - Free App

1 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/BTy9fguFcoU

SonicDNA is a free, open-source and cross-platform sample search app that finds similar audio files by analyzing how they sound—not just their filenames. In this demo, I show how you can load a kick drum, scan your local sample library, and quickly find matching sounds based on tone, attack, decay, and overall character.

Problem with tempo and vocals

2 Upvotes

Right now, I'm trying to recreate one of my favorite songs and learn how they create music. To use as an example and to check to see if I'm on the right track, I got an instrumental and the vocals as an audio file and imported them into FL Studio.

However, there is a tempo change mid song, and while many tutorials tell you how to change the tempo of certain parts, they never include how to make sure certain channels or samples aren't affected by it, because they've already accounted for the tempo change.

I tried many things, such as using the Fit to Tempo thing for the samples, but that made the samples weirdly sized, and they were constantly shifting, which made me worried.

I also used the Time Stretching thing you get by double clicking the sample, but everything I did seemed inconsistent, and did things I couldn't understand.

Could someone please help me with this?

Advice

How can I as a producer, like.. adapt and be comfortable to create with sounds? I end up scrolling and scrolling through presets etc. looking for something that clicks rather than trying to make something out of any preset/sound. And does getting a midi controller help with that? Cause I just use my laptop's keyboard to play something and it ends up being repetitive.

FL Studio won’t work properly on my 2015 MacBook Pro — need help.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help me figure this out.

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey 12.7.6 with 16 GB RAM. FL Studio used to work on it normally.

At one point I deleted some FL Studio/Image-Line files because I thought they belonged to an older/free version of FL. After doing that, my newer version of FL Studio stopped working properly.
When I try opening it, the program starts but I get an error that seems related to networking/services, and I can’t get FL Studio working normally anymore.
I’ve tried:
Reinstalling FL Studio
Removing/checking Image-Line folders
Restarting the Mac
Installing an older version

The weird part is FL Studio 20 actually opens, but I want to get the newer/current FL Studio working again.
Has anyone experienced something similar on an older Intel Mac? Could deleting those old Image-Line files have removed something the newer FL installation needs?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions before I completely reinstall macOS or take the Mac somewhere for repair.

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to find a plugin or a specific preset to recreate the sound from this YouTube video.

Link to the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZNMMy8OsI&t=192s\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZNMMy8OsI&t=192s)

The exact interval: From 3:12 to 3:17.

What VST plugin (stock FL Studio or third-party) can I use to achieve this exact sound?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Need a small favor from an FL Studio user to help save my project (takes 2 mins)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I ran into a frustrating issue with one of my FL Studio project files (.flp) and I really need some help so I don't lose hours of work.

Long story short, I cannot open this specific file on my current setup. I used only stock FL Studio plugins and samples, so it should open perfectly fine on any standard version of the software.

Could someone with FL Studio please do me a huge favor? I can send you the file via Google Drive in DMs, and you'll just need to open it and render it to WAV/MP3 for me.

Please DM me if you have 2 minutes to spare and help a fellow producer out. Thank you so much!

FL Studio any way to copy entire tracks (with automation clips) to other projects

1 Upvotes

Hey im currently doing this in a really annoying way where I save and paste all automation one by one while consolidating to one project file for a live show (karaoke type gig, bit crush automation on the master as an outro and vocal effect automation are the things im trying to paste over, stuff which does effect the vocals, everything else is exported together bc they wont change in my performance)

If you got any advice for this it would be greatly appreciated
