Fl Studio 8 Tutorial:Kick Tweaking 1 Basics (with files)

Posted by Ms.Tris On March - 3 - 2009

What’s up all.. it is super cold here on the eastcoast..bundle up well if you have to go out!~

I had a wonderful time at the battle last Thursday. The final round beats went well. I am offering the winner the one he had the victory over, and I sold one of the others..great! The third I’m uploading for a free download..(please read agreement). I didn’t have time to mix them like I wanted. Which would involve ” tracking each instrument out and doing a final mix in Reaper“. I did try..lol… a few times actually, but winded up going back to the origional versions. I just wasn’t feeling the mix, maybe I was rushing who knows. The kicks were still knocking hard over the club system. A couple producers came up and asked me “What are you using now?” You all know I use both software and hardware..but the beats I played that night, 1 was straight from Fl Studio rough mix and the other 2 straight from the mpc2500 rough mix. No one knew which one came from what…lol what is your guess??

.. which leads us to today’s tutorial :-)

I must make this statement: I normally don’t use stock sounds. In order to make it easy to follow tutorials, I try to use sounds that everyone should have with the program. This way it’s easy for everyone to do hands on work when going through the tutorials using the same sounds…cool

As a pre production method you will want your kicks to knock as hard as possible within your workstation or software. Quality sound samples are the best way to go. I’ve done a few post on knocking kicks, this one will break down my method in Fl Studio using stock sounds. Once you get the hang of it you’ll find it works well on most kicks that need help…

1st Step: Make a basic drum pattern using stock sounds from Fl Studio HipHop pack:

Hip_Kick_8
Hip_Kick_7
Hip_snare_3
Hip_Hat_5

Basic pattern; Kick Snare Hat 90 Bpm No effect on Kick

Posted by Ms.Tris On February - 12 - 2009

What’s poppin all? Hope everything is going smooth…

I haven’t made a post about the MPC 5000 yet. I guess it didn’t really move me when I first watched the demo video… Shout out to “Beezyfosheezy” who left a comment about this
DJ Quick Mpc 5000 testing!~

So after watching this one I figured I may as well check out a few more and share them also:

Play N Skillz On The 5000

This is cool because they go through a few differences before they make the beat:

Both of the videos above are from:CashmereAgency on Youtube. There are alot of them to check out…

Live Sound Productions using the Mpc 5000

Livesoundproduction on youtube
Another spot to find several Mpc 5000 videos using samples…

I can see the possibilities now..and it looks nice. Maybe I’ll look into it more in the future. If you are using it what are your likes and dislikes?…hit me up let me know what’s good with the 5000..

Happy Beat Making To All!~

RiRi and Chris Brown :-(

Posted by Ms.Tris On February - 10 - 2009

Hey yall…I’m off to a very slow start this morning…I said I wasn’t going to turn on that memorial service for little Caylee Anthony…but it’s on for a few minutes…may her soul rest in peace…

I guess with all the events that have happened in world affairs, Obama is president, bailouts, recession….. too much news in too short a time span….I’m on the deep thinker path even more, especially today…So please allow me to interrupt with a slight rant…

image fromJustentertainment.wordpress.com

For me any situation of domestic violence is ridiculous. I personally think there should be more positive elements infused into our culture as a whole. There seems to be a lost generation needing more guidance now than ever before…. makes me shake my head at times. I mean kids are disrespecting their elders, drinking at very young ages, jumping in gangs at rapid rates..just growing up too fast to learn the wisdom needed to become an adult….

When I heard about the Chris Brown/ Rhianna rumored beating????? What?…. This girl allegedly has bite marks, knots on her head, a black eye, and bloody nose??? Chris and Rhianna are still basically children, this is what’s so sad….They are both only a little past 18yrs of age….

When I heard the rumor yesterday, my first thoughts were ” that young man has to have had some deep issues inside”… From Illseed on AllHipHop.com there are rumors that she may have hit him first, possibly over another girl. This could have triggered some deep emotional breakdown? I dun know..it’s just sad!….

Here is a video of Chris Browns Tyra interview where he speaks about his disturbing childhood:


video fromEonline.com

I’m gonna keep them both in my prayers, hopefully they’ll go get some counseling or some kind of therapy….

**Pz** Peace Til Later All!~
