and we don’t want that for our listeners!įor example, KICK 1 plays 6 times in the image above! If I didn’t have KICK 2 to add another drum hit, KICK 1 would have played 8 times. If I were to play KICK 1 too many times, the drum loop would start to sound REALLY repetitive. You will also notice I added KICK 2 into the pattern.

It’s VERY RARE the KICK and CLAP play at the same time (unless it’s dance music). to add fullness, I like to “sprinkle” KICK 1 around the CLAP.

Once you set up a basic drum loop with KICK 1 on BEAT 1, and the CLAP on BEAT 2 and BEAT 4. Adding Fullness to a Drum Loop: KICK 1 plays more often, and I’ve added in a new KICK 2 for fullness, without the drum loop sounding boring or repetitive 🙂 Once you set up a basic drum loop like this, it makes it REALLY easy to start adding in fullness, which is our next step 🙂. KICK is on BEAT 1, and CLAP is on BEAT 2 and BEAT 4. The EASIEST way I’ve found to make drum loops in FL Studio is: This is how I personally like to start a drum loop, because you can add in your own drum samples, and each beat becomes unique sounding! Watch Practically Anywhere.As you can see from the image above, the Channel rack is blank with no sounds in it. We also cover the arrangement of the track, before detailing the processes of subtractive and additive mixing.įor the purposes of this course, it is recommended that you have the producer version of FL Studio, with all of its related plugins, like Harmor, PoiZone and Harmless, as these will be used throughout the course. Using the built-in synths of FL Studio, we show you how to create percussion, sound effects and sweepers, as well as using them for basslines, leads and pad sounds. We start off by briefly covering some of the differences between FL Studio 12 and its predecessors, before using Drumaxx to create a simple house beat. Everything is covered, from drum production, to synth work, as well as mixing and mastering. Using the latest version of Image Lineâ€™s FL Studio, we show you how to create a deep house track from scratch.

Deep house is a popular genre right now, both in the mainstream and underground of electronic music.
