Open the Piano Roll editor and use the Pen tool to draw in some beats. Here we have chosen Fruity DrumSynth Live, which is a nice simple drum synthesizer for making electronic beats. So however you approach beat making in FL Studio, there’s sure to be something on offer that will get you the best results possible.ġ: Start by setting your project tempo and calling up an instance of one of FL Studio’s bundled drum plug-ins.
When you have a kit built from synth modules you can really get to the heart of the sound, detuning and morphing each element of the kit in ways that aren’t possible with samples, in order to get a really unique sound. The bundled plug-ins allow for drum synthesis as well as sample-based beat creation and it’s here that things can get really interesting. It’s rare that you would want to just use a single beat, so FL Studio also makes it easy to layer up patterns, create variations and add things like percussion and other, non-drum sounds to your beats to keep things interesting. For a more “human” feel, say perhaps for hop hop, dubstep or even rock you can add groove quantization and swing so that the music doesn’t necessarily sound like it’s been generated by a machine.
Straight quantization will give you a more mechanical feel, which you might want for certain types of electronic music like house or techno. When you have your beats in the Playlist, you might want to quantize them and there are tools for that too. In addition to the various virtual instruments provided for making beats you can also import your own loops of course, and slice them up or time stretch them to make new variations and patterns.
