Ambient DnB/Jungle Tutorial • FL Studio 21

[@dxmthl]

It's a decent intro to Ambient Jungle/DnB production, but one thing where I think it would've been nice to go more in depth on in the bassline. I've noticed that a surprising amount of producers who've been trying their hand at the genre recently tend to under-emphasize the bass, which isn't really doing them any favors, 'cause Jungle/DnB is a rave music genre that was heavily intertwined with sound system culture. It was also one of the earlier genres of music to prominently feature heavy amounts of sub-bass, with 808s and weighty sub-basses derived from Dub Reggae & Techno being some of the most prominent elements of Jungle & DnB, even in the more chilled out & atmospheric sub-genres. So producers who miss the memo on that aspect of Jungle/DnB likely aren't going to garner as much interest in their music as they otherwise could.

At this point honestly, it seems more like chillout music than Rave music

[@coleblackwell415]

@@Mordann_bm while that's definitely true for the more ambient jungle tracks the more reggae inspired ones are going to get more attention from the rave crowd

[@Darkest_matter]

i like lofi type of jungle with subtle bass

[@xPr0DiiGyxLORDsh]

There’s nothing more that I love than a 10 minute tutorial. Bravo, and it’s a jungle tutorial?! You rule dude. I’ve always seen you be advertised to me, I’m glad I started watching you!.

[@ketch10]

I recognize all the breaks from their original samples from 90's breakbeat hardcore/jungle. Amazing

[@SonicWackyspeed]

Been tryna make a decent drum and bass track since late 2023, 2 years after i started music this tutorial was a life saver! thanks so much

😁 bro, you just taught me more in the first 2 minutes of your video than my last year of trawling youtube tutorials. Thank you.

[@bassterix7151]

I didn't know about the chord stamp, that's huge

[@cocamaster0]

I Don't have Xpand!2 so I just used stock plugins and it worked well for me, I used Harmor vst with Big Swell preset and another harmor with Analog Bass 1

[@PriorityCollective]

Omg i found this comment just now and man it has helped me so much making a riddim thank so much!

[@UNBOUNDWR]

I love older synth sounds sm

[@ketch10]

look up Jungle Jungle sampled pack and Jungle Warfare, both from the 90's with old amazing pads

[@UNBOUNDWR]

@@ketch10 awesome thanks 🙏

[@austinsixxsbasement472]

If anyone here wants to take making jungle/breakcore stuff seriously I recommend getting the blumarten jungle jungle sample pack. You find it anywhere on the internet comes with all the breaks and one shot samples you need to make this stuff, just be warned it’s very old so a lot of the stuff isn’t tuned to C

[@spitememe2009]

this is really good thank u ❤

[@opulentsounds]

Great Tutorial. I don't use FL but this is applicable to the DAW I use.

man, you make it simple, and thats so cool, this vid is so crazy! thank you, i suscribe.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Believe it or not but all of My Drum n Bass be it modern, classic, or Ambient or Liquid DnB is all 180bpm, always.

[@noel1069]

True, it can be 136 to 160-170. But 180 is cool too

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@noel1069 Keeping it all the same tempo makes it easy to mix.

[@noel1069]

@@HOLLASOUNDS I'll have to play around with it sometime, I tend to stick around 160-174

[@pereforner3911]

How did you get that videogame samples folder? And is the first link in your bio related to my question? xd

[@thedeeprot]

🔥🔥🔥

[@S.R.S_junglist]

its not simple cause real jungle producers dont just use other peoples drum patterns we chop them up an make them our own aswell as make our own basslines and melodies. jungle is way more then just copy an pasting

[@FRZNHeiress]

I agree with what you're saying, but like, as far as people who are new to production are concerned, this could be the easier option. Introduce them with click and drag stuff, before they realize that it's holding them back.

[@S.R.S_junglist]

I wouldn't take jungle advice from a hip hop producer who knows almost nothing bout jungle an says its easy to make with cheesy melodies

[@lawze.]

​@@S.R.S_junglistmake a tutorial then

[@S.R.S_junglist]

@lawze. I'm a jungle producer I don't make tutorials I make music but there are plenty of real jungle tutorials out by @thebizzybscience and or stranjah if you really want to learn about jungle

[@CosmicBrucey]

I'm just trying to learn the basics, don't be the "I do all the work producer" I just need original stuff to dj with lol

[@cy6060]

How are you posting so many videos at once?? Crazy

@busyworksbeats where did you get the sound pack?

That's cool

[@Selwynn]

Yo! Could you link where you found your "Jungle riddims" drum breaks? I've been looking for some like these! Please and thank you!

[@busyworksbeats]

Try jungle drum kit Reddit in a Google search I think that’s how I found them

[@Selwynn]

@@busyworksbeats I appreciate the response, my man. No luck, but I'll keep hunting!

[@507qtm]

dude I have jungle breaks on my channel

[@RMBeatz860]

..so jungle is just adding a nice ambient string to a drumbreak? thats it?

[@busyworksbeats]

I know right?! It’s almost too simple lol

[@dxmthl]

Jungle was created by a bunch of guys in the early 90s who were making music using only a sampler, an 8 track mixer, a Commodore Amiga with ProTracker installed, and maybe a synth or two if they had a bit of money. So yeah, minimalism is kinda baked into the DNA of the genre lol. Having said that, saying that Jungle is just breakbeats + atmosphere is definitely underselling it imo. When it comes to the breaks, most Jungle producers will actually chop the breaks up into their individual drum hits and rearrange them into new patterns of varying levels of complexity (I did this using Slicex & the piano roll back when I was still using FL). For more ambient/atmospheric type stuff, producers are a bit more content to just let the breaks be simple & repetitive, but your average Jungle track is gonna have a decent level of variation to the breaks, with stuff like reversing or timestretching drum hits, pitching drum hits up & down (especially on snare rolls), filter sweeps, and especially layering multiple breaks on top of each other. The atmospheric element I think is covered decently in this video, but not every style of Jungle is going for the same type of atmosphere. For example, there's Darkside Jungle, which goes for more of a dark, aggressive and/or eerie vibe, and producers will often achieve that sort of atmosphere less with pads, and more with heavily chopped & distorted breaks, menacing basslines, and a smattering of oneshot samples/FX. And speaking of basslines, bass is probably one of the most important elements of Jungle, and it unfortunately seems to get under-emphasized (or even completely ignored in some cases) by a lot of people who've been getting into the genre lately. Not saying Jungle has to have super heavy bass and have it 100% of the time, but it's a genre of rave music, and it has a lot of its roots in sound system culture. So most longtime Jungle fans are expecting there to be some serious weight on the low end, even for stuff that's on the more chill & atmospheric side of things. If you want to get an idea of what Jungle sounds like produced at a high level, check out artists like Tim Reaper, Dwarde, Nebula, Equinox, Pete Cannon, Sully, Dead Man's Chest, and Phineus II.

[@S.R.S_junglist]

No jungle is not as simple as copy an paste it's bot house music an simplicity is definitely not the key to jungle. They used those samplers to chop up breaks basses an melodies an reprogram them to the amen breaks you seen busy use those are someone else's hard work

[@S.R.S_junglist]

Jungle is all about drums and bass not cheesy sounds

[@jaiquavious]

where did you find the drum breaks?

[@modepush]

how do you change the volume of the sample at 7:03

[@nimbustk]

pretty sure its part of the fl 21 update along with the volume faders at the start and end of a clip

[@Soundboy817]

How do u mix the individual stems if ur using a loop?

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I haven't watched the vid yet but If you have one sample you can make multiple instances of it with different EQ filter and pitch up or down to change the sound.

[@ducksoles1276]

I chuck samples into slice and then make different slicex copies that go into different channels, so that I can mix whatever thing I have marked automatically with the plugin.
