Getting frustated

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!
I think I have a simple question, although the answer might not be. :mrgreen:

I try to make covers of songs.

After some searching, I can find which notes are used.
Through sheet music or vids like synthesia.

The part which frustrates me:

I know 100% sure I am using exactly the same notes, still my versions sound awe-full or at least totally different.
Can anybody point me in the right direction.

I have noticed that about every synthesia popcorn vid, uses different notes, but the difference ( relative between the notes ) is the same.

Do I need to search for sounds that go well together instead of what I have now, or is there another problem.

An example of what goes wrong, see pop corn troubles topic.

Things I have already tried, mark scale and move the notes up and or down.
But that does not really change anything.

I am starting to wonder, is a tone lets say c5 the same for all synths in lmms ?
It does not sound like that to me ?
Is a C5 in one guitar always the same as a C5 in any other guitar?

Like real instruments, synths can be tuned. You have to tune your synths so that they're all in the same tune. There are several overlapping mechanisms which all affect the tuning of each instrument:
- the base note (green square above the small keyboard)
- the pitch knob (top edge of instrument window)
- synth-specific pitch knobs (ie. the crs-knobs on triple osc)

Thank you.

I will mess around with all those settings. :)

I was so frustrated I couldn't get to sleep. Then this question came up. :mrgreen:
I am starting to understand synthesizers, and how to use them.
At the moment my music does not yet sound right though.

Allot of buttons to use, but messing around with the mini moog vst, and synth 1 vst, helped allot in understanding the tripple oscillator.
