Inside FL Studio

I use FL Studio a lot (Formally known as fruity loops, I guess the cereal company and Tucan Sam sued FL Studio to change the name the name lol). FL studio is a really good program for making music and it's pretty easy to use. If you are at all interested in making music, remixes etc. FL Studio is a good place to start.

I'm almost done my Chicago theme remix and I plan to release it soon on my blog and on youtube. For the youtube version I'm thinking of using screen capturing software to show the remix inside of FL studio. You might remember that I did the same thing for my last Perfect Dark remix except I didn't use screen capturing software to record that one (it was just recorded off the screen).

Choclate rain, anyone?

Chances are you've probably seen the "Choclate rain" single by Tay Zonday on youtube. I thought it was pretty hilarious and it has a pretty catchy piano riff. This got me thinking, maybe I should do a chocolate rain remix...

Maybe I can somehow integrate it with popular video game music (Mario, MGS, Halo etc.) I haven't tried this out on my keyboard yet nor do I know how to play chocolate rain (I'm sure I can learn it pretty quick) but it just might work lol.

What do you think? Let me know.

Halo 3 - 'Unforgotten' Remix

If you watched my 'Unforgotten' Tutorial on revver you probably noticed the music at the end of the video. Yepp, that music came from the yet to be released ' Unforgotten' Remix. The Halo series has an awesome soundtrack, and it gives me a lot of of material to do remixes.

The first thing that greeted me when I popped the Halo 3 disk into my Xbox 360 was the three red rings of death! (lol, no I'm just kidding). Actually it was the menu music and it immediately set the tone for Halo 3, I knew it was going to be EPIC. After beating the game I took some time off to learn to play 'Unforgotten' by ear (which explains why there are some mistakes on the youtube video).

I have been getting a whole bunch of requests on youtube to make MP3 file of the remix. Good news! I'm working on one and it's almost done. But there is a little problem... I'm not sure how to host the MP3 on my blog, if you know how to do this let me know.

I'll post the MP3 when I figure out how to host it on my blog.

UPDATE: I figured out a way to stream MP3 from my blog, but it's missing some features (ex. downloads, volume) I'm still looking for a better way to host MP3s

Welcome to my blog

How's it going? Thanks for dropping by and reading my blog. Let me introduce myself, My name is Dharshan Raj and I have randomly built up a small fan base on youtube by making remixes and tutorials. A while back I posted a tutorial on how to play Halo 3 main theme. It started to catch on with Halo fans and music fans in general and right now it has over 100,000 views (despite the crappy production quality).

I also make remixes using FL Studio, and so far I have posted up a couple of remixes. Like the tutorials the remixes were also getting good comments so I figured I write a blog as well. When I'm working on new stuff I'll blog about it. So this blog will give an inside look what I'm up to these days.
