[FL Studio] MIDI Arrangement of OST (FL Studio Project Preview)
This is the current MIDI-Project I am working on at the time.
When finished, I will upload the corresponding Piano Roll Video to make all notes visible with a beautiful background image as usual.
Question: How did I do the arrangement?
Answer:
- First, I import the audio file of the original sound track (OST). You can see it turned off in Track 3 in the right window.
- Then I find the right tempo by tapping to align my note grid perfectly with the tempo of the audio file.
- After that I listen carefully and add one note after the other by clicking (or using the keyboard to play along). Of course there are handy editing tools you can use to remarkably speed up this process. I do this for every audible instrument I notice in the original audio file. In the left window (with the keyboard) you can see all notes I heard of a string ensemble section (Remark: maybe I added some notes extra as my own interpretation). The grayed out notes in the background are the ones of other instruments.
- Finally, I listen carefully to adjust the volumes of specific notes by making them either louder or more silent. The volume adjustments of the notes can be seen at the bottom of the left window.
- Moreover, depending on the plugin used for each instrument, one may change the style and other details.
In this video, only half of my final result is completed and another half is yet to be arranged. I plan to make many more such arrangements of original soundtracks from movies & popular video games.
Therefore, if you are interested then feel free to stay tuned!
