its in one of these pages on this thread, indi done step by steps for wobbley bassline
Im struggling to fit the break into my dnb drum beats. i have the timing on the snare right but think i am using the wrong sounds. The breakbeat part of my loop sounds too acoustic and not quick enuff. I have tried spliting the snares but still dont sound as fast and as rolling as i would like.
upload an mp3 to zshare.... they have a player so you can play the file without downloading

you link individual drum samples to a layer channel
and edit the layer in piano roll

Its not exactly specific to FL studios but i'm abit of a music geek so I thought i'd share some slightly more advanced musical theory if you've got the basics down an wanna create some more interesting note progressions and phrases. Okay here goes,
Aswell as your basic major and minor 8 note scales there are 100s of other from all over the world which give interesting sounds and qualities. Two fairly common but very interesting other scales are the diminished and augmented scales.
The diminished scale follows the same pattern throughout which is - semi-tone interval, tone interval, semi-tone interval, tone interval etc etc so basically a C diminished scale is as follows: C, C#, D#, E, F#, G, A, Bb, C
Its got like a creepy, crunchy feel to it so it would work well for dark liquid or heavy jump up tracks.
The pattern for a diminished arpeggio is as follows - Minor third interval (3 semi-tones), Minor third interval, Minor third interval etc so a C diminished arpeggio is as follows:
C, Eb, F#, A, C so basically its just a stripped down version of the scale using only the most essential notes
The augmented scale is kinda cool cos it never seems to resolve itself, its a scale which seems to pose a question to the listener (if that makes sense lol)
The pattern for an augmented scale is reallll simple, its just : tone interval, tone interval, tone interval, tone interval etc etc
so a C augmented scale is as follows: C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, C
An augmented arpeggio is as follows: Major third interval (2 tones, 4 semi-tones), Major third interval, Major third interval etc etc
So a C augmented arpeggio is as follows: C, E, G#, C
This post has probably been no help to anyone haha but if you do need me to explain anything further or anythin else related to music theory just gimme a shout yar

Just sarted learning fruity loops, still bit lost but getting there. I need some more drum kits, theres only one dnb loops that comes with FL7, the thing is i dont want loops i wanna be able to select each drum myself, if u know what i mean.
So id be able to pick a separate snare and kick instead of having to use the ones on the loop to createa beat. Anyone know where i can download drum kits?
Also the sequencer is pissing me off, theres only 4 channels on it, which dont really allow much room for work?!?

theres loads of samples that come with it, have a dig through fruity to find them
or you can get a load of drum hit sample packs here... http://www.breakbeat-paradise.com/bb_samples.php
you can have as many channels as you like, just drag a sample under the bottom one and a new channel will appear

I load the drums into slicer and edit on the piano loop, but i cant seem to use sytrus to edit the synth bass i downloaded, you know to make it wobble n all that! Any ideas, you ever used the program 'Massive'?!?
