BEST HARDSTYLE KICK | How to Make a Hardstyle Kick in FL Studio Like a Pro (Tutorial) | Tail ONLY

[@m.h.212]

This tutorial is EPIC!!! First my Kick sounded like shit. Then I played on the Equalizers and plugins on my own and now I have an AWESOME Hardstyle Kick! A jear ago, I watched this tutorial and didnt check anything. Guys when you don't get the result you wanted, NEVER give up. Never stop learning. Never stop Producing. One day you will come to the point you're ready to make your own banging Hardstyle Kick (or whatever). Thank you soo much @screech house for this tutorial. It helps me a lot.

[@ScreechHouse]

Awesome. Great to read your success story and thanks for sharing!

How the hell did you put 3xOsc and Sampler together? I like that kick btw.

[@ScreechHouse]

Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean. I didn't put the 3x Osc and Sampler together. In the first part of the video I show how the tail is build with the 3x Osc. In the second part of the video I have loaded the kick tail as a sample in the Sampler. So, I eiter use 3x Osc to build the tail, then I make a sample of it and load that sample into the Sampler.

[@ScreechHouse]

Yeah, you can clearly hear the idea, but a bit messy indeed. It's getting somewhere!

[@ramoelleusrs6678]

I tried to make another kick-tail, but I'm having problems with some extra noise at the very end of it. I think the problem doesn't lie on the filters, but I'm not really sure. Are there some kind of way to work around this problem?

[@ScreechHouse]

Normally you can simply cut off the end of the tail when you make a sample. The noise is probably caused by one (or multiple) of your effect instances, like the waveshaper. Because of the way you set it, it causes a slight offset, creating a bit of output signal without you even playing the kick. But when you distort that offset later on, the effect gets exaggerated, probably creating dirty noise. What you can do to find the effect that causes it: keep all the effects enabled and disable them 1 by 1 and look at the volume meter of your insert channel (on the mixer). If the volume signal disappears, you found the effect. In general it's not a problem though, unless it messes up your kick. Just cut off the the noise from the tail when making a sample.

[@adude7944]

0:57 i already don't understand... Wdym you made the 909 kick with 3x Osc? How do you put the two together? 909 kick is a sample, 3x Osc is a plugin, how do you put those together? I do the same settings ut nothing like it comes out in the end...

[@ScreechHouse]

Ah, my bad I made it confusing. The initial kick is synthesized with the 3x Osc. There is no sample in the plugin. The starting sound doesn't matter that much. The magic happens in the effects chain on the mixer. So, if you can't replicate it, don't sweat it. Just use any synthesizer or sample that has a clean 909-like sound.

[@infreyedmusic5385]

@@ScreechHouse thank you really man there is actually one question I have...how do you keep the kicks in tune with the rest of the track without pitching it to high?

[@ScreechHouse]

The key of the kick follows the lower layer of a melody. So, you have to pitch your kick to different keys. I also have an older video about that. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpDFn6Bmqsd4gNk

[@bigtrolly]

Literally just started, can't seem to get Wavechanger to work the way I want it to work.. Moving the first anchor along de Y axis just creates the most distorted ear rupturing sound imaginable.

[@ScreechHouse]

Then don't move that anchor. ;-) But seriously, the more you move the line(s) up and left, the more distortion/saturation you will get. If you're new to this, just take your time to learn it and watch as many videos on my channel as you can.

[@ThaFreezetyla]

somehow my 3xosc wont give me this true punchy sound :/ i tried everything to get it punshy but it always sounds like a flat sine wave with no power... anyone has an idea what could i try?

[@ScreechHouse]

Do you use the pitch envelope to create the initial punch? If you do, then it's probably a matter of EQing, distorting in certain ways and may be applying a compressor to create a snappy tick in the beginning. It's very easy to go overboard with the effects and mess up a tail. It happens to me quite a lot as well. Not every tail is a winner... simply start over and try again. Hope this helps.

[@ThaFreezetyla]

yes i did... and i did the EQing as well as you did the exact same way... it seems like my 3xosc isnt working correctly... i'm realy not that noob. i've been playing around with FL for 9 years now... i have the feeling my FL is limiting the whole thing but i didnt ever aply one to the channel... can this be a hardware or FL bug maybe? anyway thx for fast response

[@ScreechHouse]

Hm, yes, that is weird! What you could do is go to: File > New from template > Minimal > Empty (make sure you pick the empty template) If that doesn't solve your problem, it might have to do with some FL Studio settings or your Audio settings. Very hard to know for sure.

[@MutleeIsTheAntiGod]

Just wanted to say that my 3Xosc was giving me a high pitched sound and I couldn't figure out what it was. I did exactly as you said and started from a new template and everything is working great now. Thanks!

[@sengabaret]

@@MutleeIsTheAntiGod I don't know whether we're having the same problem or not, but at first I got a high pitched sound and then I fixed it by changing the note from the Default C5 to G3 haha

[@jeroendekok6974]

If i switch from the channel rack to the mixer i only see insert 1, not kick or Osc 3x. How do i let it show up in the mixer?

[@ScreechHouse]

You can rename the channels/tracks on the mixer to organize them. Select a mixer track (near the top) and right-click to select: "Rename, color and icon..."

[@sgti.n.k9023]

0:36 Daniele Mondello is tht u?

[@aHydrasa]

What does that first Fruity Phaser do? Doesn't seem to do much from what my ears can hear.

[@ScreechHouse]

It creates phase differences within the kick and can add richness to the sound. Kinda like layering 2 or more different kick samples together and slightly shifting their positions. It's not always that obvious, yet definitely worth experimenting.

[@aHydrasa]

@@ScreechHouse Thanks for the explanation, makes sense! I'll play around with it.

[@ScreechHouse]

@@aHydrasa You're welcome!

[@kyleholguin0227]

once you finish making the tail, how do you open it as a sample?

[@ScreechHouse]

You have to save it as a sample first. To do that, you can just export it in FL Studio, or you can first record your tail in Edison. If you record it in Edison, you can edit your tail sample before saving it. After saving your sample, you can drag and drop it from Windows to FL Studio (Playlist).

[@djrocketorca]

How did you get the kick into 3x cause it’s not working for me

[@ScreechHouse]

The kick is not in the 3x Osc. The 3x Osc is a synthesizer and generates a simple audio signal. This signal has been send to the mixer. On the mixer you can add a bunch of effects (equalizers, distortions, etc.) to process the audio signal and create a hardstyle kick.

[@abstractn027]

I tried to rebuild this multiple times but every time something goes wrong between the first Reeverb2 and the second WaveShaper: as I apply WaveShaper with these same settings the result is just slightly off with less "note" sound. Obviously if I keep going the final result will be completely different just because of this minimal detail. I'm using FLS10 so it's possible that the VST algorythms are slightly different and I can't get the exact same sound with the same settings. Also I'm making everything inside a Patcher so I can bring everything together in different projects with only one preset.

[@ScreechHouse]

I get what the problem is and what many people struggle with when they try to replicate a very specific sound. If you want to replicate it exactly, you have to copy all the settings perfectly, which is sometimes hard to do, but should be possible. However, I advise NOT to replicate it. I advice playing around with the strategies and not copying it. By replicating something, you don't understand it. By experimenting and building your own kick, you will gain the understanding of the hardstyle-kick game. Feel free to watch some of my other hardstyle kick tutorials to see the same strategies in action with a different outcome. I recently released a brand new video with 10 essential hardstyle kick tricks that you can now watch.

[@4rbuz241]

in the step where you added the second wave shaper (2:23) i did the same thing but it starts distorting a lot (too much). do you know what the problem is?

[@ScreechHouse]

Hard to tell. Can be anything. Generally, it's how extreme you set your waveshaper to distort the sound. Can you recheck all the settings again? Or may be one of the settings of the other effects are slightly different, so this waveshaper distortion reacts a little bit differently.

[@reeve7929]

i had the same problem, check to see if theres a second point at the beginning of the waveshape and delete it if there is. that fixed it for me

[@AK69dj]

In FL Reverb2 i always see the SPEED and MOD parameters next to the DIFF and SIZE ones, but in yours on this tutorial i dont see them, why is that?

[@ScreechHouse]

Probably because it's a slightly older version of FL Studio. The video is already a few years old.

[@AK69dj]

@@ScreechHouse makes sense :)

[@yukelss]

Ok I'm lacking some basic info here.. Just opening 3x OSC an copying the parameters gives me a regular sine wave, not that simple kick you have there without the effects. What am I doing wrong here?

[@ScreechHouse]

It's good that you have a regular sine wave, because that's also how the kick in this video starts. Yet, if you don't have a punch at the start of this sine wave, you may want to look at the pitch envelope. Giving the pitch envelope a short decay time (close all other parameters), produces the punch. Thereby, don't forget to open the AMT parameter.

[@yukelss]

@@ScreechHouse ah got it.. didn't see that the first time. thanks a lot :D

[@ScreechHouse]

@@yukelss No problem!

[@crassinimusic744]

the phaser in the beginning of the chain, is it required?

[@ScreechHouse]

Nope. It's a creative decision and can produce an interesting effect.

[@crassinimusic744]

I've made a chain starting with a phaser. But after kick hits there appears an endless high freq. sound. That sound disappears when i turn off phaser. Do you have an idea about whats the reason?

[@ScreechHouse]

I would try to find the setting on the phaser that causes it. So, enable the phaser and tweak its settings until the high frequency disappears. Then you have an idea where the problem is. Though, if you can't figure it out, don't sweat it. A phaser is not mandatory.

[@sebastianrupprecht7201]

Hey dude, little problem over here... once i enable the first waveshaper, i get a horribly annoying reverb... any idea on how to fix this?

[@ScreechHouse]

Usually, a distortion enhanced the signal quite a bit. If you have a lot of reverb before the distortion unit, it may enhance/distort the reverb too much. On the same note, a distortion can generate additional noise, especially when you off-center the soundwave. So, that could be a reason for your problem as well.

thx for this tutorial, i actually managed to make a decent tail :D mine sounded didn't sound too good at first but i switched the 3xosc waveform to sawtooth and it made it sound better for some reason lol

[@ScreechHouse]

Awesome, glad it's helpful to you. Yeah, the sound source (like the sound wave setting) can have a big impact on the final tail. Because of the different signal, all the effects react and work together differently. Small changes in the beginning add up to bigger changes at the end. Anyways, keep it up!

[@Doogleraia]

The pitch envelope D causes pitch-walking.. like... crazy pitch-walking if turned up

[@ScreechHouse]

You basically only use the pitch envelope to create the punch (pitch-drop) of the kick. Other than that, you can leave it as it is. If you still have bad experiences with it, feel free to elaborate.

[@KeheleKeff]

Could you make a tutorial of Devin Wild's kick?

[@ScreechHouse]

Hey, I'm actually always working the other way around. I don't try to recreate 1 type of kick. I'm using strategies and playful tweaking to create whatever comes out. This way it's much easier to create good kicks, instead of just trying to recreate one particular kick of which you don't know the exact effects chain. Hope that helps.

[@Jarvik]

That's a great tail! make some snappy toks and you are golden with that!

[@ScreechHouse]

You got it! ;-)

[@nicotheme]

After making the kick into a sample its pitch doesn't change on the piano roll...help?

[@ScreechHouse]

Ah yes, that happens sometimes when you use a sample in FL Studio. What you have to do it go to the "Time stretching" settings of the sampler. Then fully close the TIME knob. The time stretching functions can control the pitch of your kick, making it sound the same on each note on the Piano Roll. It's like it overrules the Piano Roll with certain settings.

[@appar4tus4]

Really loving the sound but no matter how much i try and how closely i follow the tutorial I just can not get the souind right... I redid it 3 times, really following every single tweak exactly and after the very first Waveshaper it starts sounding different and in the end it's just shit... happy for a solution

[@ScreechHouse]

Hey man, that's odd. When you copy all the settings exactly, it should sound exactly the same. Something must go wrong. I would say that at the very first moment it starts to sound differently, you found yourself the problem. You say it's the waveshaper, which is possible, but keep in mind that a distortion unit (like the waveshaper) applied quite aggressively emphasizes the signal. So it could very well be that the signal is already slightly different before it enters the waveshaper. The waveshaper then simply makes it much more present/audible. Hope that helps a little bit. There's just not enough information to really point out what the problem is. If everything is the same, it should sound the same, I'm sure of that.

[@Brambo28]

Hey screechhouse. I opened the link in my email box but i cant find any real downloadlink. 1 THIS is maybe fake or 2 van you help me

[@arrigoofficial]

I don't actually know why, but my 3xOsc with your same parameters isn't a "kick"... What am I doing wrong?

[@ScreechHouse]

Most likely, the parameters aren't replicated exactly. I know this can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but just try again from a fresh start. Take it step by step and make sure everything is correct. However, a better way of going about it is just to focus on the bigger picture. You don't have to copy this, but try to understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. This way of thinking is what you inevitably need to be successful.

[@ScreechHouse]

On second thought, may be you mean the initial punch of the sine wave in the absolute beginning. Therefore, make sure to give it a pitch envelope with a short decay time (close all other parameters). Don't forget to open the AMT parameter.

It should really be working, because I didn't change any basic FL Studio settings. Only thing I can say is: just try to recreate this kick again 1 step at a time and listen where it goes wrong.

[@ScreechHouse]

Hey thanks! If your kick is way too loud in your mix, make sure you use a sample of your kick and turn the volume of that sample down. By using a sample, you can't touch the effects chain that builds up the kick anymore, so you don't mess with the effects-relationships.

- Go to your sample in FL Studio - Go to the Time stretching area - Right-click on the "Time" knob and select "(none)" Let me know if that solves it.

[@Djsalvation]

If youre going to pitch the kick in a higher note you should strecht it out a bit, its too short now. Other than that, great video! Really usefull, just like your other tut's.

[@ScreechHouse]

Thanks for your support! I really appreciate it! And you're also right! Can I admit that I was a little bit lazy? Or should I say: I didn't want to make the video any longer. ;-)

[@timmgh4709]

Screech House how to stretch the kick more ?

[@ScreechHouse]

You can do that when you make a sample of your kick. In FL Studio you can simply use the sampler and use the MUL knob (it's probably best if you put it on monophonic). When you want to pitch the final kick for different notes underneath your melody, there are many options to time stretch your kick. You can use Adobe Audition, Edison, or just within the FL Sampler.

[@kii601]

I wonder which note is?

[@ScreechHouse]

If I remember correctly, it's a G note.

[@pwbeatsrecords7502]

What Kick is it that you are using from the beginning ?

[@ScreechHouse]

The original signal comes from the 3x Osc. That's where the kick starts.

[@binig.4591]

oh,that clip on a master..

[@lepureur4657]

It only happen when eq is last with extreme settings, then he turns another distortion on AFTER the eq, it gets compressed heavily and wont clip

[@OfficialPradero]

kick sounds okay to me, but the distortion should stop sooner. usually the tail isnt that crunchy and it doesnt rly sound That clean. but thats my personal opinion. The tutorial itself is great.

[@ScreechHouse]

Sure, no problem! It's about the idea anyways. :-)

[@Enno-nm1gu]

My Problem is, that evertime I make this kick I also get a strage noise. Does anybody now what I can do?

[@ScreechHouse]

Usually when you have a tiny noise signal going on and apply some distortion(s) the effect gets much more prominent, until there's too much noise. The noise is probably logical because of some distortion settings, but sometimes hard to find where it comes from. What you can do is disabling your effects only 1 at a time, until you find the effect that causes the distortion. Usually it's a distortion unit, like the waveshaper, that has some asymmetry or "noise generating values" going on. See if you can find it and fix it.

[@Enno-nm1gu]

Screech House thanks👍

i cant make this work... it only sounds really wierd and the thing on the top next to the numbers go like |_|_|_|_|

[@commanderkizza978]

i tried twice and it still sounds NOTHING like a kick

[@ScreechHouse]

It's very hard to tell from here what it could be. If everything is exactly the same, it should sound the same. Don't worry too much about it, you don't have to recreate it. Just use it as a strategy to make your own kicks. You can also watch some of my other kick videos and see if that works better for you. Again: it's about the strategy, not about the perfection. You have to practice a little bit.

[@commanderkizza978]

Yeah could be. There are a lot of settings to tweak.

I tried that out... folowing step by step... but my sound is just a pain in my ears... dunno what I did wrong... I am not that kind of a noob but still no pro either.... But I need that nice punchy kick for a Song I make... and really cant figure out what I did wrong

[@SyyLux]

Oh... And I forgot... my kick is just playing around with pitch... if I play the same not like 5times in a row it goes up or down some pitches...

[@ScreechHouse]

Hm, very hard to tell what went wrong. I know it can be hard sometimes to catch every little setting and model it. The only thing you can do is start over and try to model it again. Once the sound goes differently from the sound in the video (I enable all the effects 1 by 1), you have found the problem. It's not a nice answer, but that's part of this game sometimes. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I don't know, but there seem to be more people having problems with this.

It's not important. It's about the strategy. You have to practice it a little bit to get a "feel" for this type of chain building.

[@Silagane]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial, I headjumped into FL Studio yesterday and am just trying out all kinds of different things. I always wondered on how make hardstyle and i didnt think you'd have to make the kick all yourself. Well, i tried it out and until the third or fourth filter it actually sounded like somewhat a hardstyle kick, after adding more it only got worse and worse. Any idea what I could do better? Here i recorded it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoC8p5KumZlsfNU At some point it just souded as if i played it in a huge af empty room lol

[@ScreechHouse]

Hey man! Thanks! I'm glad it's helpful. For the most part, building a hardstyle kicks isn't easy. It takes practice and a lot of failures to get there. But it's fun! When I watch your video I see 2 main things that you could fix: - The waveshapers need to be adjusted to generate more distortion. Just play around with the slopes and experiment with some extreme settings (just to get a feel for it). - I think the Fruity Love Philter has a 100% wet filter sweep enabled. Generally you want it to have 50% wet or so. To do that, you'll also need to enable another filter, but set it to "Off". Then the signal will just pass through without being effected. Hope this helps! Just experiment with these things first.

xD i dont even find the 909 kick on 3x osc, good start :D

[@ScreechHouse]

You can't find it. You have to synthesize it by selecting the sine or triangle wave and then making a pitch envelope.

[@jorisdubouloz7410]

@@ScreechHouse Thx but still not able to find how to so stuck on your tutorial :) Why not showing this on your tutortial since its the basics ?

[@ScreechHouse]

It's definitely good feedback. The video is made a while ago and this is what I decided to do back then. It's hard to draw the line between what people know and what people don't know. Everyone is somewhere else in their understanding. If I have to cover everything step by step, some videos will take hours. But by people giving feedback (like you), I can learn what you actually need/want in a video. So, keep it up!

can you just give us a flp? i mean i never get it right

[@ScreechHouse]

I really understand it can be a long journey, but come on... FL projects are personal creations. You can watch everything in the video, there are even a couple kick videos you can watch. They're all different. There is no 1 way ticket to a hardstyle kick, just practice with the principles. I think that the mentally of looking to be spoon-fed isn't the road to long term success. I love to help (that's why I share all this stuff), but spoon-fed options should either be payed (so you're 100% serious about really wanting it), or they shouldn't be provided at all. They don't necessarily help you to get what it takes to become the best producer. To end this little bit of a rant, I really DO understand your frustration. It just takes time and sometimes you just want to get it right to continue with your song and ideas. May be I'll make a entire kick building course in the future, to show the whole process (can take multiple hours). For now, just watch some of my other kick videos. You will get there!

[@ThomasakaDes]

Sounds like the one from Bassboom

[@ScreechHouse]

That's a new perspective. Didn't occur to me.

[@JayHeartwing]

Tried that, I only created an ear-bleeder :'(

[@ScreechHouse]

It happened to me also a lot. Just start over again and keep intending to move forward with it. It takes some time, but it's worth it.

[@JayHeartwing]

@@ScreechHouse Got it! ^^ Also, it happens to be like, how to mix/EQ the kick so it cannot drown or be drowned by the other synth?

[@ScreechHouse]

There are multiple different things that can go wrong, that's why I've written the EDM Mixing Guide. You can obtain it via this link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHW11CB For the kick however it's usually the balance that's not there. It has to have a snappy attack with some highs and the lows need to be tight. If the kick is good, the other elements can ruin it a little bit if you don't mix them properly. Usually, removing some of the low end in the other elements is a good idea.

[@Xendarion_]

It's amazing but I have FL Studio 11 :(

[@ScreechHouse]

You can probably do the same things in FL Studio 11. They're all FL Studio stock plugins. Or else, just pick any other plugin that can do the same thing(s).

[@DayeanT]

Then update lol

[@jd_master0076]

flp bro pliss

[@ScreechHouse]

It's best way to learn to just recreate this and discover how "everything" responds. I generally don't upload FLPs.

[@invader_ren5974]

dude my shit still turned out as a synth

[@ScreechHouse]

Technically it is made with a synth. It's very hard to tell what went wrong without any information. The only thing I can say is: just look at each effect again 1 by 1. Small changes can result in big changes in the end result. If you set everything exactly the same, it should result in this type of tail.

[@Chrisser73]

You cant pitch kicks like that...Sounds not good :/

[@ScreechHouse]

This isn't how you pitch kicks. I will have some tutorials coming up for that. In the video I only used some different keys to show that you can play around like that and get a feel for the crunchiness or tone of the kick.

[@linokuma6559]

dammit... it's hard. i really fucked up many times

[@ScreechHouse]

That's part of the process. I also often mess up or start over again. Just try to add effects 1 by 1 and try to get your hardstyle kick a little bit more hardstyle-ish with every effect you add.

[@linokuma6559]

Screech House well.. I just figured out but I haven't input all of the effects. I just input some of them. but when I turn em all on, it sounds like earrape meme ×~×)

[@ScreechHouse]

Lol, you probably have some of your effects set to a too aggressive state. It's hard to tell really. Try to use common sense. Look at it 1 effect at a time and when it starts to sound like ear raping, just back off with that effect.

Jejak

[@ScreechHouse]

What does that mean?

[@FF-ds9xw]

Screech House it means "step"

[@ScreechHouse]

Ah good to know, but I can't see what it means in relationship with the video. Did you have a question?

[@FF-ds9xw]

Screech House Thank you for your tips

Hey, you're welcome!

Hi Cep, I am really very sorry for not communicating with you for the past few months.I know that I have hurt you.Please forgive me for that.

I don't have feelings, so don't worry. ;-)

[@dasdebajit76]

I am greatly in need of an online job.Can you give one to me?I owe you much for publishing" FL Studio Beginnner's guide" and "The ultimate melody guide" on Amazon.I have read both the books.

[@ScreechHouse]

Awesome. Glad you liked them. If you're looking for an online job, try freelancing. There are many websites these days you can subscribe to for remote work and such. Some examples include fiverr.com and guru.com

[@sefa5426]

Noice of nice?

[@ScreechHouse]

May be a bit of both. ;-)

[@AmityHardstyle]

This kick is terrible (probably because it's outdated). Can you make a new, up-to-date tutorial?

[@ScreechHouse]

It's only the tail part of the kick and not finished. It sure is not optimal. Try to focus on the methods in this video, rather than the particular result. It's difficult for me these days to make quality hardstyle kicks. I've moved abroad, just working on a laptop. Of course, if I have anything useful, you will definitely find it on this channel. Also, you can already find more hardstyle/rawstyle kick videos on this channel. Feel free to check those out.

Please don't buff up.. Just giving a title to get more subs and the content you post is so lame.

I'm not telling what to do, simply sharing ideas and tips here. If that works for someone, awesome. If it doesn't, that's fine too. Everyone is different. Find something that works for you.
