Check out my save files for a few cool tricks, I tend to be fairly economical with my channels. You'll want to start doubling up your channel use, don't earmark each channel for a specific thing. I.E. don't have a channel set aside specifically for a kick drum, use one for both kick drum and bass (I recommend the WAV channel, but to each his own). Just keep writing, it'll come in time.

I got a .sav file from superfriendly pandastar which explained a lot about adding random effects to me. Whole sequences of crazy Pitch-shifts, and V-commands that worked great.

Studying other people's SAVs is great. Don't know where to get some though, I heard you could buy some somewhere

Thanks mate, now i understand it

Here's a tutorial I wrote on F commands:  http://www.noisechannel.org/4824

change the value until it sounds good

¿Could someone explain a lil bit on the aliens commands? Im experimenting a bit with em on the wave channel but I get no clue wtf Im doing.

LOL

If I have a free channel, occasionally I'll create an unusual timbre by doubling, echoing, octaving, or detuning what's already there.  Compensate volume to taste.

ah, channel juggling is tricky but you'd be surprised at how many gaps in the music the listener's brain fills in on its own. perception is magic!

I'll try my best to challenge/advice you to grow your skills with this simple points.

1. Learn your WAV channel. Make awesome kicks, powerfull bass lines. The F command and H command can make your instrument go nuts. Search for a fuller sound (or whatever you want/need), try to imitate the sounds from another music that you may like. think in a sound and make it.

2. Invest some time layering your channels (E.G. 3 channel kicks/snare). Work on how one channel affects others, to make distinctive sounds.

3. Give room to everything that sounds, work your volumes and sound designs (don't overload some frequencies)  so they can fit on to your ideas at your command.

4. Don't forget to make good music and have a good time. Practice a lot and be happy.
