How To Make Trap Music - FL Studio Akai Fire Beat Making

[@r3fat661]

There are three type of people on youtube 1. Those who make dumb and useless videos 2. Those who make videos for money 3. Those who genuinely help others by sharing their priceless knowledge I think you are number 3 i am from Bangladesh by the way. BeAwesome :)

[@zian3694]

Even Baggers from Bangladesh are making beats using pirated softwares/Daws. Working As a freelancer doing data entry only in 50 rupees a day. WTF :D

[@bakinluvr3484]

And number 4, those who make content for the lols xD

In The Mix Hi mike, I love your videos and tutorials, I’ve made my first Choon, so thankyou for passing on your knowledge. I do have a question about FL studio 20. Is it possible to contact you directly through a website or email address? Keep making waves 🌊 Regards, Wayne

@@inthemix Hi Michael and anyone who might be able to help... I've started using the fire and it's been such a fun device to play around with. I've unfortunately come across a problem though and it's not limited to the Fire: when I open a sample in a new channel, it shows me the preview window of the sample automatically I have now been searching for hours on how to disable this pop-up... It's extremely annoying and would just like to avoid getting my screen cluttered up whenever I load a new sample. Desperately need help with this.

[@FL_STUDIO]

Nice!

[@itzNickyJayBeats]

Please update the software so the grid moves automatically It kinda tedious to click the grid button every next 16 steps or whatever its called!

[@CLiFFJasoN36]

I’m sure they’ll update it as soon as they can they’ll release update. But funk that link back with akai and make a keyboard to top native instruments komplete kontrol keyboard that defeats the purpose of knowing music theory, and i know a good bit of theory. But when i use the ni keyboard on fl, in order to keep recording the ni scale options, i have to keep playing with separate midi channels, when u guys can either become 100% ni komplete kontrol compatible or link with akai and top the ni Kboard. P.e.a.c.e

[@CLiFFJasoN36]

Thanks for this , i’m buying a second one asap

[@neuromancer9k]

I do not listen to Trap Music, nor do I make it. I feel like I know absolutely nothing about it, yet I really enjoyed this video. Great to learn even a little about how it's made. Thank you for all these great videos, Michael!!!

[@ItsEiverBaby]

20 seconds of the video already make me smile because I know you're about to give a lot of valuable information, thank you so much!

[@99biggee]

I'm loving these 'how to' videos of yours. There aren't many FL Studio Future Garage Tutorials that make much sense on KZbin. I know you'd kill it !

[@richietwinz6824]

This video makes me chuckle, not just because you easily made a trap beat but because I swear you once said you’d never make a hip hop beat as you don’t like it (or something to that effect!). This clearly shows that anyone can step out of their comfort zone regarding genre as long as you understand the fundamentals of music production and you my friend, definitely understand! (I frequently refer to your videos to recap on things I get wrong or don’t understand) Keep up the good work!

[@aatibshahkhan]

Haven't Seen Someone Achieving This Amount Of Progress In Music Production In A Short Period Of Time 😎 You're Inspirational Mike 💖

[@soulsynthesiscreations]

Dude always has quotes that resonate with me... ‘pick your notes with a purpose’

[@samfullofsin]

Way better tutorial than most of what these beat makers do. So insightful and most people will learn something even if you have a lot of knowledge about trap

[@doddibladez]

that tip you give about adding the extra bass or "gritty bass" is exactly what I didn't know that I was missing. Crucial. Thanks!

[@SKYL1N3]

Didn't know that we could make 808s with Sytrus😱😱😱😱😱 you teached me something and thank you!

[@samfullofsin]

That melody is absolutely gorgeous jeez

[@1980JPA]

Thanks so much man. I'm pretty experienced in this genre but I always learn something new from your tutes. Like putting the "gritty" high passed bass on top of the 808. I've been running into the issue ofy music only sounding good on good earphones, car and home stereo, but loosing all of the bass melody on Bluetooth speakers. I try my mixes on all of these, and have now learned the solution. Thanks so much. I would also love to hear more about how you created your own risers and falls. I pretty much have to stick with stock samples and process it to my own liking. Thanks again. One of the best trap beat tutes I've listened to, and everybody has done one. Great job.

[@YoungKeefBeats]

Ah Geez, bought on of those a while back, I didn't think it had too many useful features, I was gonna sell it, but then I watched your videos with these and now I think I made the right purchase. Thanks, Keefe

[@Percevalko]

This channel might have 400k but it is still underrated

[@sonanoka7044]

I always "sidechain" by putting a peak controller on the kick, raising the volume/decay to get the envelope tight, and linking that peak to a fruity love philter with the volume at 0. It also works well on some distorted basslines to link it to a highpass filter with no resonance so you can layer on part of the attack from the high end, very messy but sounds interesting.

Your have given me an idea to make trap your the legend

[@sandwichgames8122]

for 808s you can make them slide by adding a note above or below it in the piano roll and double click it and make it a slide note instead, its simpler in my opinion

[@JMDigtalAU]

FWIW not all VSTi's support slide notes... But definitely try it first. The way he shows here is used for pesky VST plugins that only have a mod wheel and no slide note support. Hopefully VST developers have wised up to it in recent years, but there's always that *one* plugin that doesn't work quite right in your DAW of choice.

I'm having some difficulty with the automation clip. I'm trying to add a pitch adjustment for my bass the same way you did (6:40 mark) but it doesn't seem to work the same. It keeps adding it to the top of the playlist as a master pitch. I've also watched your how to use automation clips but had the same outcome. Any advice? I think it should fall under the instrument to which I am trying to automate correct? Thanks!
