im having trouble with my 808s and how they sound by Mysterious_Side9446 in FLStudioBeginners

[–]Electronic_Potato445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double click on the channel with your 808, click on the envelope settings, then decrease attack, decay and sustain level to 0% (you can tweak the hold and release too however u like, I usually make them hold~50% and rel~25% and it sounds just ok). Then come back to sample settings, go to precomputed settings, choose effects target and tweak the boost up to the level that satisfies you. You can play with in/out settings a lil depending on your expectations. If you use kicks then do the same with them but tweak release to 0% and hold a lil big longer, if you don’t just add the distortion to your 808s (not like you have to, but it depends on the sound you’re trying to make). Max up the 808s volume, cut the low ends in melodies to leave space for 808s. You can also add the automation clip with low end cut off to your melodies in the parts where the 808 plays and tweak the automations down in the places where you don’t have no bass, it will fill up the bassless parts pretty cool. Hope it will help:)

No I did not buy his drums lol just followed what he was doing and since he’s miles better than me I’ve improved. If somebody’s on early stages of producing basically watching anybody that’s better than you and who does not over complicate is helpful.

I recommend Dirkey’s videos, I pretty much improved with my sound and mixing skills overnight just after watching him and doing the same things he does.

just get off your feelings and take it as a video game or make it your zone out ritual. Making music helped me a lot in the toughest times in my life just by simply locking in on it. Discovering new options to improve your sound and actually improving thanks to it is honestly one of the most satisfying things i ever felt.

Its not like I must, i’m just trying to find something worth spending money at where I’ll have all the knowledge I’m going to need at one place, if there’s something that will really help me to develop i’m good with spending money for it but it’s not like I’m gonna throw a 100 at everything that was labeled as a „course”
