Yesterday I was mixing a beat in Fl Studio 8, and when I exported the file, I noticed the kicks on the hook were knocking hard. I replayed the beat and I couldn’t figure out what I did to the kicks that made them sound great. I went back to fl Studio and I noticed I had 2 drum patterns going through out the hooks by mistake. This mistake turned out to be a treasure. I tried this again on a new beat and I’m super happy with this technique.
When you load up Fl Studio, add a sampler channel, the default “attack time” setting is slightly delayed. I want my kick attack time to be absolute, and hit as soon as possible. The first thing I do is adjust the attack time on kicks,snares, and all instruments I want to remove the attack delay.
In the image above, you can see the peaks are slightly to the right. I adjust the “ATT” by turning the knob all the left.
