#FREE FL STUDIO PLUGINS HIP HOP FREE#
I remember when I was a lot younger, FL Studio was nowhere near as big and it didn’t seem to be on the level it is now.īefore we dive deep, I want to say that my opinion is to get some free plugins and then also get a couple of huge VST libraries that you purchase. These options are going to include free options and paid options for Fl Studio.įL Studio is currently one of the most popular DAWS for music producers to use and it is only gaining steam.
Today we are going to be taking an in-depth look at the best FL Studio plugins currently being used in music production. Why Use Additional Plugins For FL Studio.Best FL Studio Plugins – A Quick Glance.

You can also check out our previous article Free FL Studio FX: Drum Booster, which shows you how to give a more subtle lift to your drums in FL Studio. Nice! Now have a go yourself - feel free to tinker with the settings we suggest, depending on how filthy you like your beats. Let's add some more loops from Vintage Hip Hop Loops to hear our beat in context: Now when we click on 'Drum Bus' in our mixer, on the right hand side we should see the following inserts: This is really just to control our peaks through compression and also give a touch of cohesion to the different sounds running into our drum bus. Slot 5: Fruity Limiterįinally, we'll add the Fruity Limiter (in COMP mode) to round off our FX chain. The EQUO plugin is designed for this kind of 'tone-shaping', allowing us to boost and cut broader bands, as opposed to other EQ devices that are more suited to precise, surgical EQ'ing.Īs you can see above, we've drawn in a boost to our low-end to really get the kick pumping, as well as lifting the highs ever so slightly to compensate for this. Now that we've given our drums some grit, crunch and punch, it's time to add an EQ curve to help finesse the sound we want. This seems to give our beat some extra punch in the low-mids. In our case, we've opted for the 'B' preset and dialled-up the knob to half-way. The Soundgoodizer is essentially a simplified version of the Maximus Multiband maximizer, giving us 4 presets (A, B, C, D) with a large dial which is a dry/wet mix of the input signal, and the combined output of each compressor in the multiband. Third in line is one of our favourite FL Studio plugins, and not just because of the name! Keeping the device in 'unipolar' mode, we drag the small node in the middle of the graph upwards until we get our desired level of distortion. We'll introduce another level of distortion here by adjusting the Waveshaper shape, which is then applied to the input signal.
Next up is the Fruity Waveshaper with its seemingly simple interface! We also turn the POST dial down to help with gain staging, as we'll be using a number of FX that will be boosting our signal Slot 2: Fruity Waveshaper A higher threshold setting means a more intense sound. Turning the threshold right down means the distortion affects and narrower frequency band. We dial down the THRESH and MIX knobs until the effect is subtle, but not too subtle that it isn't heard. Now it's time to add the FX in each slot - let's take a look: Slot 1: Fruity Fast Distortionįirst up in the chain is the Fruity Fast Distortion to introduce some grit and punch to our drums! If we now click on 'Insert 1' in the track mixer, we should see a load of empty slots on the right hand side - this is where we'll add our plugins to process the drums (after clicking on Insert 1, hit F2 to rename the track to 'Drum Bus') Here's how the drums are sounding just now: The next step is to adjust the volumes of the drums to get a nice mix, then route each one to the same mixer track (in this case #1) - this will be our 'drum bus' to which we'll apply our filthy FX chain! We've taken a kick loop and a couple of top-drum loops from our latest Hip Hop sample pack Vintage Hip Hop Loops: Feel free to do this how you want, but in our case we're going to use some loops. So let's get into it - first thing to do is get some drums going. What's more, we've also only used plugins available in the 'Fruity' (most basic) edition, meaning no FL Studio user is left out! Luckily for us, FL Studio has some great little native FX that can do the job, with no need to empty our wallets on fancy 3rd party plugins. Today's tip is for the FL Studio users out there who want to introduce some grit and dirt to their beats!
