well i first started using frooty loops and i kind find quite difficult so i stopped: so dt use itt it s very confusingg

[bxtreme]

Don't expect going anywhere if u choose the easy way out.. FL is perhaps easier to use than Reason, Logic, etc

aaanyways, not a producer so i cant help ya..

I advice u to start with ejay coz the samples are ready and u just have to mix them ... then switch to fruity loops or reason (the best 2 in my opinion)

Remixing is not easy ( depend on how u define REMIX )
first, are u ready to remix? u have the ability?
anser these:
do u know what is an ACAPELLA version?
do u know what is GAIN CONTROLE?
do u know what is a TRIM ? or LEVEL?
do u know what is a CHOP mix?
do u know what does FUGUE mean?

not puting u down amigo but hey, its just like when u get ur driving lisence, u can just start drivin ur dad's car and fuck it over until u learn then be a pro but u screwed ur dad's car and u might got many times into so many critical situations...
or u can learn first, listen to recomendation, STUDY, COMPARE and or goto a driving skool and make it the clean secure respectable way.

both works, but both will make u hold a history, a profile yet the same result

Remixing do not demand technical ability and skills over some complex softwares only, its also mental, it demand a stylish person, musicaly educated and SAMMEE3.... so first, find out if ur ready, if its the right time for ya to Remix

Acapella version:its the vocal-only version of a song ( no music, just the vocals )

Gain controle Trim and or Level:
the 2 blinking bars u have on ur mixer, the ones for the channels...
that sometimes u see hitting the red part (which is bad)
in some mixers u see it as Gain controle or TRIM or LEVEL
When a track is playing, the other u will mix in should have the same level as the first, so that when u mix both tracks on full volum, the output will be equal ( to not have a track higher then the other)
''try to keep your levels to about 0db or +1db''

Chop mix (or drop mix):
its like the very basic of mixing technique its changing from a track to another with a big impact....just like the breakdown of a track or buildup.
sometimes it can give great results
and it can also be done by simply fading out the 1st track and fading in the second at the same time, it sounds like a cheap mix but sometimes its nice ( u have to know when to use this kind of mix)

FUGUE:
its if i can say the BASIC of trance music
Fugue: a musical form in which a theme is first started, then repeated and varied with accompanying contrapuntal lines.
