Only post your music in the weekly feedback thread. Rule 1 - No self promotion, or promotion of any kind Give it a shot you might dig it.Where can I find this sample / How do I make this sound? Weekly Thread I do this a lot when I turn snap totally off, then move everything by ear. And you can even use your own programmed drums as a quantize template. If you do that your whole beat will be grooving hella nice.
When you're programming other things, like synths, make sure you quantize them the same way. Great for getting groove just right, and way more flexible than any MPC.(don't get me wrong, I bang on the 1k all day as a beat sketchpad.new pads are dope!)
There's even knobs that let you adjust HOW MUCH you snap start time and note duration while quantizing. You then can quantize your drums to the groove of the original break you made. Using FL's piano roll quantize tool, open the score file you saved earlier. Save that as a score file, in your project directory.ĥ. Essentially it does the same thing - moves all notes to the root C.ģ. There's a function for this in the menus - I think called MIDI Limit or Flatten Groove, but I'm not in front of my DAW right now. Take each hit, and make sure they're all on one key (the first C slicer starts notes on). It'll autoslice the break on each hit for you - providing you a groove "map" so to speak.Ģ. Take a break you like, throw it in the slicer. That's almost ALL you need to learn.besides being able to play a tight groove hehġ. Now play your drums and pay attention to what happens depending on how long you HOLD the key.
#FL STUDIO SWING FOR TRAP FULL#
set the envelope so that there is almost no hold, no decay, a short release and FULL sustain. I wrote about this like 100 times in here already - use the volume envelopes, pay attention to the sustain and release level (sustain almost ALWAYS on 100% with drums) and the length of the note. The space between hits is important, but the choice of sounds and their length is as important too. The grooves included in the "quantize" option are really good. That means that you should easily be able to make tight drums in FL Studio. Sample accurate midi timing AND a high ppq resolution. when I first used FL Studio in '00 or '01 (can't remember), I thought FL sucked. and copy and paste them throughout the rest of the track. i mostly do all my drums by hand, i'll play them like for 16 bars. I've been thinking about the length thing a lot lately. Sometimes I played the sequence real slow and I want to to the non quantizing thing, it can help, anyway, you sound like you tried a lot of stuff you probably tried that too. I always quote one thing that he said to myself, Silence is just as important as the note is.
He shows it and got pretty obvious as he does it. I don't know if it fits here but i will tell the story, my first day at MI ( musicians Institute a music school in LA ) that was 10 years ago, I attend to my so called groove class, I forgot the instructor name, I am F***** horrible with names, but I know the guy played on some late earth wind and fire formation, anyway, he plays a simple EWF groove and asks if someone would like to try it b4 the class, nobody does so I step up thinking this is a piece of cake WTH ! I do it and after that he gives a 20 min lecture on how important length is. Frankie c mentioned the length thing and I got to agree with that.
