      TRULY tho.
      This works so well.
      Used it for very short clean DnB drums today, not just useful for HipHop/Trap (but especially)

    This video is so neat. Fantastic overview! The part about tuning the kicks and 808 is much needed. I'm sending people over to this video whenever they ask about tuning drums.

      Weak. All of you paint by numbers "producers" suck balls. If you are using presets, sample packs, drums created by someone else, you are not an artist. You are a consumer. What you are doing is one step above playing video games. Sucks that there are so many of you goons out there these days. In the 90s, it meant something to be a producer, and it required dedication, because you had to spend a few thousand dollars just to get a decent sampler. Now you clowns download cracked FL Studio and a bunch of drum packs, plugins, etc and drag and drop every component of your "music." If this is what you are doing, your beats are garbage and you're a fraud. I don't care how many suckers jock it.

    Good tips have been applying some of this to my drums in FL Studio. Sidechaining the melody to the kick is golden and I know this applies to a track with only a 808. I'm trying to get better with sound design thanks again.
