JWM - Robot Overlords (Goa-like Trance in FL Studio Mobile)
Okay, so this was 100% created in FL Studio Mobile on my iPhone and mastered in Logic on my iPad. This discussion here...
https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/59661/fl-studio-mobile-4-4-update#latest
...inspired me to dig back into FL Studio Mobile after having not opened it since late 2022. Back in late 2022, I produced an entire Lofi EP in it which I mastered in AUM. This track is anything but Lofi, lol. 😆
And I know what you may say. "Jimmy, this track is a bit too slow to be Goa," and you'd be right. It's sort of like Goa, but isn't. Then again, could it be Techno? I don't know. I'm not sure which damn genre to file it under, but really who cares? I enjoy what I made and at what bpm I set it to.
There was a time in my life I preferred my dance music to be fast, to the point I used to listen to "Hands Up" all the time, but I really don't like it too fast anymore. In fact, I find most "Hands Up" music to be grating on my nerves. Guess that's the result of my growing older. 😆
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this track!

I still enjoy fast beats, but due to my age, 25+, I’m proud enough to just nod my head or just tap with my foot. Not jumping up and down on a table anymore leading the crowd to move to the beat… I guess once a raver always a raver.😎
Verdict on this one: head nodding and foot tapping.
Very nice piece, buddy. Well done.🙌

I like it. Good job. Overall sound is nice, i don't care it doesn't perfectly fit the genre box, who cares when music is good. It has some nice groove .. speed is completely ok, not every goa has to be 150 bpm :-)
what i am missing is a bit more tweaking .. you need a LOT LOT more filter automations for this kind of trance, this is what makes it different from other styles - plethora of automation.. you need that every f*cking single synth sound is still changing and morphing - so the sound is never static unchanged ... you may have relatively siumple melodies, that is ok, but the sound itself needs to tell story (in technical terms - just make sure that everytime druring few bars some parameter is automated so sound still has some kind of change in t)
appreciate Metropolis-like AI art for cover :-)
Cool stuff. I was waiting for the baseline to go crazy like Josh Wink. That'd take it up another level :-)
Nice one @jwmmakerofmusic!
I like it and I agree with others here that more filter and effects automation would make it pop more since this style of music is more about sound variation and elements of anticipation and surprise vs musical variation.
@DMfan thank you so much my friend. Much appreciated.
@dendy @klownshed @reezygle Very good feedback. And FLSM has automation clips within, so easy to make repeating automation patterns as well as longer patterns over a span of time.
I admit that NS2's automation is odd to say the least, lol. Automation clips for the macros in Obsidian and some parameters in Slate (as well as macros for AUv3 plugins), but track automation for internal effects and none for AUv3 effects. So FLSM shines brightly in the automation department and seems better suited to the Goa genre.
(Note - I used the same level of automation on "Robot Overlords" as I did in my Lofi works on "Lounging in Another World", so I wasn't aware of just how much automation is needed for the Goa genre.)
Anyways, I'll look up some Goa automation videos on Youtube and see how others go about it and apply those techniques to my own works. Easy peasy. Thanks again for the constructive feedback, which if you didn't know I always welcome for my own benefit.
@jwmmakerofmusic would like to remix it if you are interested , send me project file and i'll play with it ..
Sounds good. Do you have FL Studio Mobile installed mate?
Ope, and I forgot to mention, I was wondering who'd grok the art style on the cover. Hehe, yes, it's a (not so) subtle nod to last year's forum project. We did Vampyre, Metropolis, and now I'm wondering what we'll tackle next here.
no atm but will do it
Ah okay cool. I'm not sure which IAPs (if any) I used. I think their TB303 clone is an IAP.
no problem i'll buy what needed
You rock, dude! Who knows? Maybe you'll discover your new favourite app to use. FLSM is super robust.
