1) (kebab menu button) > more tools > task manager
extension are taking up a lot
go to manage extensions & disable them
2) GPU extension
go to: chrome://gpu
make sure tmost are 'hardware accelerated'
settings > system > use hardware acceleration when possible
3) Clean-up
Close all chrome events in Task Manager
Start/Windows + R > %appdata% > local > google chrome > user data > default
delete or rename 'default
4) Memory saving
can use external app but better not to
chrome > settings > performance > memory saver
5) Chrome in bg even after closing
Settings > Advanced > System > Continue running bg apps > TURN THAT SHIT OFF

HOW TO INDIE ROCK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg6ClO1IpMw
HOW TO INDIE ROCK:
guitar:
actual guitar
make chords 7th
record chord progression twice
1 in left channel, 1 in right(Ctrl L, use mixer) (50, 60, 70 %)
route both to new this track only
drums:
need real
use muted
put t shirt on snare, sleeping bag on kick, cloth on hihat
fin way to emulate this in fl studio
rogram:
one shots?
kick snare hihat
snare(less) and hihat(mroe) main, kick when u feel like it
adj alt velocity of hihat
kick and snar - alt r - will randomize velocity
route drums to 1 this track only
bass:
use real
or make elec guitar into bass
root notes of chords
add. percussions
add shaker, tambourine
high end, fill out sound
lead guitar:
acustic guitar:
add in chorus
light and depth
same chords
keys:
pads or organs
beef up track
plugin
pluginXpand!2 > organ
use same chords
add another note at the end of the prog
mixing:
volume and levelling
main elec guitar - CLA guitars stereo, preset elect clear tone, knob - clean, mess with settings
drums - reverb comp and eq on drums, bring high end AND bass
bass guitar - plugin, TRS black 76, default good alrd
shaker - cut out high end with EQ, can pan to 1 side(R)
acoust - CLA unplugged or default reverb, eq
organ - a lot of reverb, realistic, large hall
how to lay out the beat:
main guitar first, bring in lead and shaker
DONT just put in drums by themselves, add bass at same time, remove shaker
DONT let it get repetitive and over complicate
can add crashes for transitions
HOW TO STOP MONITORING IN FL STUDIO
JUST CLICK THIS
MAKE SURE TRACK 1 IS THE ONE WITH THE MIC INPUT
IDFK WHY FL STUDIO DOESNT HAVE SEPARATE OPTIONS FOR INPUT AND OUTPUT BUT THATS LIFE
HOW TO CLEAN MIX
HOW TO CLEAN MIX
why muddy? OVERLAPPING
from kick and 808? NO, its fine on their own
samples - good to be good quality
coming from 1 main area - 808 and melody OVERLAP
abt 200hz
how to add to a mixer track?
select multiple(the green rect beside name)
Ctrl L
how to make not muddy?
make sure they dont overlap - UNLESS you're layering
layering = playing the exact same notes
how to decide what to put where?
sometimes two instruments, one is brighter, higher freq
its fine if theyre the EXACT same chords
its NOT fine if it's like a bass - but not the BIGGEST culprit
WHO ARE THE MAIN CULPRITS aka the ones that need EQ-ing?
counter melodies, leads, arps
how to fix if theyre clashing? easy way:
pitch them 1 octave higher
now track seems like it has more SPACE
how to reduce mudding and add SPACE:
reduce the volume aka LEVELLING
actual trick to EQ:
cut out low freq in melody
bring 1 circle down, adjust the shape at the top to look like a shelf
for instruments which dont have tt much low freq, cut even MORE out
eq all melody(no percussion):
select all tracks in mixer
ctrl and drag
find empty > rmb > route to this track only
move it nearer to the rest
add EQ
drag btm knob for all cept ends all the way to 0
at the top, click on dot, drag it all the way down
now when you drag them up, theyre skinny
now we EQ OUT THE RESONATING FREQUENCIES
HOW? drag one of them up, it will sound very ringing when you hear it, very tin-ny
instead of up, drag it down slightly(-1.5 to 7dB)(top left of screen should show you)
most efficient - left to right, one after another
now do the ends
if youve used up all, load up EQ on another slot the right
can make preset with all knobs down
last resort: side chain kick and melody
what dat mean: melody vol go down when the kick hits
how:
select kick, go to whole melody, click the btm arrow so it turns into a knob (so its linked), turn dial to make level 0
click whole melody(dial should disappear)
add a limiter
go to compressor tab
rmb > kick
knee and ratio all the way up
sustain and release quite low(but not 0)
threshold - lvl at which kick will bring vols down
up to you
about half, at top of melody waveline
when you turn the dial, you can see a blue line hit the waveline
