The aim of this tutorial is to teach you one of the most important techniques used in electronic music - sidechain compression.
You will need FL Studio 9 to follow the tutorial. As far as I know any previous versions do not have the sidechain option in the limiter.
Here it is. A wicked video tutorial on youtube which explains exactly how to sidechain with the limiter and gives a live demo of before and after!!

Here’s a simple way to make effective Drum and Bass drums using only 5 elements.
1. Kick
2. Snare
3. Hi Hat Closed
4. Hi Hat Open
5. Break
A break is a complete sample of another drum kit with kick, snare and hats playing in time. This will help to compliment your individual samples. Turn down the volume so that your kick and snare stand out over the break.
Make a simple pattern such as the one below and select samples which fit together well.
Route all of the 5 element above, into their own seperate mixer tracks.
Now route all of the elements through a drum master channel and add effects to this channel. This will help to make everything sit together better. A distortion plugin such as TK-3 Band Distort will help to make your drums sound dirty just the way we like ‘em! Check my Distortion Demo in Fruity to download the distortion plugin.
