Dirty South Fl Studio 8 Tutorial (Feature Article)

By Ms.Tris • May 29, 2008

I want to have some fun this evening and do a basic Dirty South Style Beat Tutorial. I’m not doing this to go over the top with all the brass and progressions…. I’m doing a basic beat for tutorial purposes. It may help new producers or anyone whos new to Fl Studio….

I am using Fl Studio version 8. I have saved a template for my default start up containing a kick, hat,snare, and clap. I load that up and make a
basic drum pattern.

I am using a 16/4 Grid because its easier for me to do breaks when I work with 8 bar patterns. In Dirty South Beats you’ll notice the Hi Hats are usually twice the tempo of the actual beat. This can easily be achieved in Fl Studio. I started this tutorial at 143 Bpms, which will sound like 71.5 once we spread the kick and snare as pictured above. I right click the hat channel and select “Fill each 2 steps”, place a kick on the 1, 7, and 13, next I add a snare on 9, and 25 active steps/squares. Next I repeat the same pattern again to fill my 16/4 Grid. Now I have the “overused” basic pattern for a Dirty South Beat…..

I have a foundation for a quick melody line. Here is where I begin to tweak my kick using * NFX’s tip…

I’m not extremely worried about the mix at this point, but I know starting with a great kick is essential in Hip Hop production. I’ve added a little compression using the Fl compressor, and a little reverb to the clap.

I loaded a Slayer Generator, and switched the screen to pattern mode. I copied the drum pattern to extend it to 8 bars. I added some Fx to make a unique sound, and I layed down a basic melody to get things started.

basic pattern extended with melody 1

So I have a basic pattern,melody, and my kick is still sounding good. I used the Fl “chorus .wav”, mangled that with fx and added it in as an extra percussion sound.

basic pattern,melody and fx perc

Now it’s time to introduce a new sound so we can add movement to the beat. I loaded up a vst synth, added fx, and made a simple flanged bass line.

basic pattern,melody, fx perc, and fx (flanged) bassline

I add a new sound, and start playing around with a melody for the Hook. I add the new instrument exactly where the hook comes in after 16 bars. It’s nothing fancy, just a catchy tune that’s easy to remember,hum or whistle. I also add some new percussion, and a snare roll. At this point the “foundation” of the beat is solid. I have a rhythm, a melody, a bassline, and a second melody for the hook…

basic pattern,melody, fx perc,fx (flanged) bassline, an idea for the hook

You’ll notice I haven’t quantized or fixed every note perfectly yet. I usually do the fine tuning last, so I can get the ideas out 1st. Now it’s time to arrange the beat, add more percs, add some snare rolls, and add variation to the drums to break the monotony of the rhythm.

I listened to the beat and decided to move the hook idea to the second half of the verses, and I created something new for the Hook. My beat is now 1/2 done…I have my:
basic pattern, main melody, fx perc, fx (flanged) bassline, a second melody, an idea for the hook, and some variation and movement through out the song. I extend the idea to full song length and listen.

Dirty South Beat Before The Final Mix

What do you think? Soldier Boy could rap on it huh..
Now it’s time to fine tune my notes in the piano roll, add some sound effects, and Mix the beat to the best of my ability. (If I was sending this to a professional engineer, I would leave the beat as is and export the files so he/she can mix it)
Some people mix inside Fl Studio and get great quality. For years this is what I did, and my mix was just o.k. . After sitting down with a few engineers, I’ve learned that it’s best to mix the beat in software made for mixing. I like tweak a little in Fl Studio, and export each separate track into Sonar for the final mix. I’ll post the final mix soon, and tell how I mixed it.

So there you have it… Fl Studio getting Dirty Dirty…boom ba boom boom — boom bap..Feel free to ask questions or leave comments..
Pz Til Later..and Happy Beat Making

Check out my myspace page I like what u doin, Ive been using Reason fo some time now and was curious about fruity loops so I got FL8 and right now i just started using it so this was very useful. I am trying to be knowledgable on all production software and DAW software in the market. Ive been using acid 6, reaper, live 6, and other editing software. I want to add FL to my arsenal.
mstrismusic Jun 7th, 2008 at 10:23 am

Hey,Hey… I am glad you like the site..yeah I’m that way to, I love learning different software and hardware..keep coming back and if there is something specific you need to know about Fl 8 hit me up, if I don’t know the answer, we’ll just find out together.
I’m headed to your myspace now..Pz Til Later

enjoy your day

Nice tutorial but what is 16/4 grid?is it like 1/32 quantization?and how do i get familiar results using step edit on the mpc?please help me getting my dirty south drum pattern sounding right
Ms.Tris Jun 21st, 2008 at 11:23 am

@New To production

In Fl Studio the sample channels are divided into bars and beats like on the mpc. The default is 4 bars 4 beats or 4/4. This means there are 4 beats per bar, and the measure is 4 bars long. I changed mine to 16 bars 4 beats or 16/4 this would be the “Time Signature” on the mpc. Which mpc are you using? This way I can most likely walk you through it….
New to production Jun 21st, 2008 at 12:39 pm

ok i got you..i’m using the mpc3000 & would like to know how to do dirty south(think three 6 mafia) type drum pattern..a tutorial on that would be nice..especially the hi hats…much respect
Ms.Tris Jun 21st, 2008 at 1:55 pm

Look for it Tuesday morning, I may get to it Monday not sure..I have the 2500 so I’m gonna have to look into the 3000 and I will post the tutorial
New to production Jun 21st, 2008 at 6:52 pm

i’ll definitely look out for that one..much respect

one morething(hope i’m not asking too much) i have a jv880 module & a emu proteus keyboard and i’m working on a beat..i have the jv880 playing a (strings)melody & the emu playing the bass…now i’ll like to add some other stuff like synth,piano etc…the problem is everytime i go to another track and change the sound on the jv880 its also changing the sound of the other melody..so if i change to piano the melody will also change to piano..is there a way i can get the mpc to sequence 3 different sounds on 3 differents tracks from the jv880 or any module for that matter?for example i’ll like to have one track playing the strings melody and other track playing piano etc…all from the jv880

thanks for your help
Ms.Tris Jun 22nd, 2008 at 7:10 am

You have the mpc set the right way for midi, because you are recording the Jv880. Now you have to get into the Jv880 midi settings and set up the Jv880. On most midi modules you will have an option to set program change “on ” or “Off”. Try setting this to off and manually change the sounds on the JV880 when you are ready to add a new one. This way the Mpc will not be able to make program changes to the JV880 when you are changing from track to track. Hope this helps..let me know
Diesel Jun 23rd, 2008 at 9:12 pm

Where do you get your patches from? Like MIAMI_BASS etc.??

Thank youi
Ms.Tris Jun 24th, 2008 at 5:49 am

Hey to you Diesel… alot my sounds were purchased from the net, some given to me, some I won in beat battles. The rest I make from scratch by using VST Instrument software….come back later on today I’ll post up some good sites on the home page. The MsTris Mighty Drumkit is used in every beat…
new to production Jun 25th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

this one really help me out alot…what hit u have the ‘ghost’ snares falling on?other than 9 & 25?
james Jun 30th, 2008 at 2:17 am

hey, i’m just starting out with this fl8, and i don’t kno where to start, so can you show me over on myspace. Plus that beat you made was completely sick, i like what you are doing.
Ms.Tris Jun 30th, 2008 at 7:37 am

Rooky_Beater Jul 7th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

Hello Ms.Tris and thank you for this tutorial!…I really like what you’re doing, it’s a great help to a newby like mine

But i have questions about ths part of the tutorial:
“I loaded a Slayer Generator, and switched the screen to pattern mode. I copied the drum pattern to extend it to 8 bars. I added some Fx to make a unique sound, and I layed down a basic melody to get things started.”
>which drum pattern had you copied? (the slayer drum pattern after having played your meody? if yes, did you played the melody in 4 bars with 143 bpm? wasn’t that too fast?) Please can you explain more how you did this part?

> What did you mean by ” I layed down the melodyto get things started? I thought layer were used to couple 2 more more instruments and play them simultanously? How did you lay down a basic melody?

Sorry for askng such “simple minded” questions, but I am really a novice in beatmaking and i am trying hard…Somebody told me once “don’t hesitate to ask questions overwise you won’t get answers to your problems”…

Thanks for youre help!
Ms.Tris Jul 7th, 2008 at 7:58 pm

What’s up Rooky_Beater..I don’t mind the questions so it’s cool.

okay let’s start with your 1st question…

“which drum pattern had you copied? (the slayer drum pattern after having played your meody? if yes, did you played the melody in 4 bars with 143 bpm? wasn’t that too fast?) Please can you explain more how you did this part?”

At this point in the tutorial I only had 1 drum pattern. I went to the pattern mode and used the “paint brush” tool to paste the pattern another 3 times. If you look at the picture showing the slayer, you can see that pattern 1 (drums)has 4 squares across, and pattern 2(slayer) shown in the panel above it extends to the same legnth as pattern 1. Pattern 2 is where I played my slayer to the tempo of the drums.

Now about the tempo 143BPM, the tempo is explained in paragraph 3 under the first picture….

“I started this tutorial at 143 Bpms, which will sound like 71.5 once we spread the kick and snare as pictured above.”> I right click the hat channel and select “Fill each 2 steps”, place a kick on the 1, 7, and 13, next I add a snare on 9, and 25 active steps/squares.

So I am actually making the beat at 71.5 and only the hi hats, and snare rolls are at 143..

Next…when I said “layed” down a melody, that’s just a term that means I “played” a basic melody.

I hope this explains it a little more for you..comment again let me know if it helps…pz
Rooky_Beater Jul 8th, 2008 at 4:28 am

Thanks Ms.Tris!
I will work with this and come with others questions if i have!

greetings from France…(yeah, your site is viewed in France too…)
Ms.Tris Jul 8th, 2008 at 8:10 am

Cool @ Rooky_Beater…. That’s awesome you are visiting the site from France. I have a friend that moved to America from France and he is a great musician. He came to me for help, and I winded up getting tips from him. I haven’t talked to him in a little while, and this reminds me to give him a call… let’s see if I can recall ..

Merci pour la lecture, revenue de nouveau

Thanks for reading, come back again
Rooky_Beater Jul 9th, 2008 at 5:58 am

really! you have a friend who comes from France? That’s great!
I hope you can help me to become also a good musician (maybe not great as you, but a good one…)

I am very interrested in learning to loop some good beat and the way to to it! but i’m still at the begining and need a lot of advices in working with samples..song structures (how to build a song…etc

anyway, i will send requests in time if you don’t mind
Ms.Tris Jul 9th, 2008 at 6:30 am

I don’t mind helping, we will get you going in the right direction in no time.

and I caught up with Dj Anton yesterday…Here is his artist whos name is “Rookie” what a coincidence Huh? :-)…

http://www.myspace.com/rooksp6o

DJ Anton did most of the beats there…

So Stay in touch…take care au revoir
Rooky_Beater Jul 10th, 2008 at 6:47 am

I have checked the Dj Anton’s myspace…if think he is doing very good (i even can’t create a song )..

I still haven’t got it yet…I mean i followed all your recommandations, but my Slayer melody is still too fast for the pattern 1 drums! (it’s like the drums are playing in 71.5bmp and my slayer in 143 bpm)…I’ve extended the pattern 2 to the same length as pattern 1, but when I play a melody it stops after the fist 4 bars and copy this 4 bars(only a part of the melody i played) too all the over three 4 bars and as result, i have only a part of the melody i played that is repeating at a very quick bpm (i don’t know if you understand what i mean?).

I forgot to tell you, that i’m working with FL7 (does it make a difference?)

thx and peace
Rooky_Beater Jul 10th, 2008 at 6:58 am

Sorry i think i got what my problem is: i created several Pattern2 and thought have extended 1 pattern2to the same lenght as pattern1 (my bad!!:( )….I think i don’t kwnow how to do the extension!

sorry for flooding your tutorial page with my posts! (maybe we shall write at Gmail?…i have send you my gmail)

peace
Ms.Tris Jul 10th, 2008 at 7:05 am

Hey man..it”s o.k. because I’d really like everyone to understand the tutorials. If you must ask questions that’s the only way to learn. We can hook up through gmail… and later today I will make a “Live Chat” type box…that way you can ask me questions Live while you are using Fl Studio. I will ony be available US Eastern Time, up until 6 p.m. Some Mondays, and Fridays. The Main days will be Tues-Thursdays between 10am -6 pm…..

Eventually I may add a forum that way others can help too…..

Today We can work through gmail until I get the chat box up
Rooky_Beater Jul 10th, 2008 at 12:10 pm

ok….
I just found out how to extend the pattern! (can breath now )

take care!
Ms.Tris Jul 10th, 2008 at 12:21 pm

I am happy for you…I’ve been working with a screen recorder…this will make tutorials easier for ya…

Now keep making those beats and ask questions if you get stuck…
Rooky_Beater Jul 10th, 2008 at 12:28 pm

yeah!

At the moment, my biggest problem is to get a good melody out of the Slayer! maybe you have a hint for me to do this right?
Ms.Tris Jul 10th, 2008 at 1:11 pm

..From Rooky> At the moment, my biggest problem is to get a good melody out of the Slayer

…..Nice idea for a tutorial :-)… I will post up a slayer tutorial over the weekend… I will email you when I put it up..maybe I will use the screen recorder….

Ms. Tris

Good job, I like that.
Now i’m from Namibia, Africa (the country where angelina jolie first gave birth in). I’m a true novice with beat making FL Studio to say, good about me is I can do better with trial and error.
Now I was wondering if you could maybe send the project (flp file) you worked on with tha Dirty South Tutorial for me to play around with, if thats not much to ask. The credit is all yours baby u r good (dnt mind the grammer, its called namlish -Namibian English)
kidd Sep 26th, 2008 at 5:49 am

I just checked at the time zone and I’m six hours ahead of you, so we might not have time for a “live chat”.

namlife Sharp!
Ms.Tris Sep 26th, 2008 at 5:57 am

Hello to you Kidd… I will keep this is mind for a future tutorial. I did this one in steps and exported the wav files as I made it. That means the flp is not a complete file. This is a very good option to keep in mind. Check back because I will do this soon…Thanks for commenting and visiting all the way from Africa… it means a lot

Don’t worry we’ll get you squared away..What are you having trouble with on this one??
kidd Sep 28th, 2008 at 9:15 am

I don’t know how load the Slayer Generator.
Ms.Tris Sep 28th, 2008 at 10:03 am

Oh okay..on your main menu at the top, go to ” channel” then scroll to “add one” and move your mouse over to “Fl Slayer” and “left” click your mouse on it.. it will load into a channel
kidd Sep 29th, 2008 at 8:30 am

I loaded a Slayer Generator, how do you switch the screen to pattern mode, extend it to 8 bars and add some Fx?
Ms.Tris Sep 30th, 2008 at 8:33 am

@ Kidd …at the top of Fl Studio: Select “View” then playlist.
You’ll see the screen as pictured in the last picture above. Next to your play button you see ” Pat” and “Song” you can switch back and forth by pushing them. Once you ” draw ” in a pattern use the “paint brush” tool to paint more patterns across.

You add effects to the mixer channels..
check out the second picture in this tutorial to assign the slayer to its own mixer channel

I got Fl Studio 8 and don’t know squat about it. I can’t even make the most basic drum beat. I got some questions. How does Fl Studio 8 compare with Adobe Audition? Here’s what I want to do with it. I play guitar and I want to make some jam tracks that I can play along with. Probably Blues since I like Blues lead guitar. Is it possible to do this?

Hola DISC JOCKEY TRICIO Utilicé un traductor en línea, así que soy esperando yo entiendo su pregunta. Pienso que usted pidió el archivo de Fruityloops. Haré más clases particulares que incluyan los archivos muy pronto. Tengo uno aquí en el sitio, pero no es un golpe del sur sucio. Aquí está el acoplamiento:

fl-studio-patterns-playlist-and-song-mode-part2

Le enviaré mi email address, e intentaré ayudarle tanto como puedo. Usted me ha recordado aprender más español. I’ el ll todavía esté utilizando un traductor en línea, pero pienso I’ el ll pueda ayudar. Cuando hago la clase particular del sur sucia de la jerarquía incluiré el archivo del flp, y le dejo saber cuando post-it de I. Gracias por tardar tiempo para comentar…
