The Beginning

Just starting out here. Gonna post videos that I like, and music that I make. And updates and stuff. And tips for how to produce music. Not that I myself am a genius, or anything of the sorts. Just stuff that I find out and think is useful, some nice synth tones I've made up. I'll also throw in guitar settings and stuff for anybody who may be running an ME-50.

Oh, yeah. I'm an amateur music producer. Electronic music, kind of on the verge of techno, but not really. I also play guitar. Rock is pretty much all I do. Blues-influenced. I like the Van Halen. I used to play trumpet, and was co-drum major of my high school marching band my senior year.

Um. Yeah. If I think of any other pertinent information that should come up here, I'll post it.

By the way, I'm a dude. And my name is LordFrakula.

How I got the name: I'm not sure, to be honest. I bestowed the title upon myself. I guess it came from the word my band director used to describe my playing when I played trumpet, going up the octave at high volumes. He called it "frak". In search of an interesting MySpace name, I used Frakula. And then I eventually turned into Lord Frakula. When searching for a "DJ name", I contemplated several possibilities. The one I decided to stick with was LordFrakula, above all the rest. I eliminated the space to make it more meaningful.

I guess I figured out some stuff to add before even posting huh? Anyway. I came across FL Studio on accident. I was looking for guitar recording software, when I happened across a demo of FL Studio. I didn't know what the hell I was doing at first, but with some time spent on it, I learned slowly how to use the program. As my musical knowledge progressed, so did my knowledge of FL Studio. As I went along, I realized that the synthesizers I was using, and the way I was using the mixer, were too simplistic.

I've learned a lot about FL Studio. And I've learned a lot about my evolving musical style. I hope you stay with me, and watch as I grow and evolve as a musician and amateur producer, and maybe someday I will get to be privileged with getting paid for doing what I really love to do.
