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

I was rolling yesterday…just having fun making soulful beats. I chopped a Dione Warwick song into about 50 slices and used Fl Slicer to make the beat. By default all of the slices load, but they don’t start at the lowest octave on my midi controller which happens to be my ASR10. I have been trying to find out how to fix this for a while. Finally I opened the help file which I always suggest and I found exactly what I needed.

I manually adjusted the slices to each key on the Asr10. It’s pretty easy. I’ll explain then add a pictures:
1st: hit the desired slice inside Fl Slicer ie: “Dione Slice1″

2nd: hit your midi controller key/note where you’d like “Dione slice1″ to be

3rd: select “last hit” in the Fl Slicer menu

I can wipe my brow now..imagine how can you re arrange your slices,placing them across the keyboard in any order you wish! Niiice deal on my end….

Check out NFX’s full slicer tutorial for more tips and tricks….

I got an email asking how to use the vocoder yesterday. Now I know some will say this is used by too many people..lol but I like the sound, and I really don’t know how to use it in Fl Studio 8. Here are few videos if you are interested in learning how to add that robotic sound..

First Up..My man NFX explains very clearly what it does and how to use it:
