I started with breakcore. Not the modern kind though. I started with attempts at making something as hard as Alec Empire and Venetian Snares. It's been awhile since I've attempted anything like that and the funny thing that happened before getting into making music was me listening to Skrillex. Also, I'm just getting actually making dubstep/riddim, usually taking after Burial and Rusko, thus me getting more into the oldschool shit. The only nu-skool thing I've used in my dubstep/riddim was the UK/Brooklyn drill drum pattern, which is older than you think, like...before Chicago drill was even a thing.
@@okcheez1814 yeah I started with riddim and DnB. Still doing it honestly. I want to get into some future bass/house, glitch-hop, and melodic dubstep stuff but I'm pretty much still beginner. I definitely want to improve but it just feels difficult finding help lol. Especially with mixing.
my genre journey is wild asf started with trap, to dubstep, to mid tempo rezz type shit, back to dubstep, to drum and bass, to heavy experimental bass shit i have problems
I love how we can all agree that Fruity Dancer does absolutely nothing but it’s the GOAT. She the reason if the beat gets released or not. No lie I wish we had something for ableton like this.
Aussie here, absolutely love the music coming out of SA, from Amapiano to Gqom, shit’s fantastic! Even heard there’s a decent DnB scene over there. Quality mate
Drumpad is honestly goated. I have no idea what I'm doing in it half the time, but it literally lets you create your own drum sounds, from acoustic to all forms to electric. You gotta use a bunch of effects to get the best of it, but it's awesome.
@@zero111zero depends on what drum I'm tryna make. Usually I add a transient processor to control the attack/release, then I use other effects to taste.
same i dont know how to do additive synthesis much, but the presets are great if youre going for nostalgia, they feel very vintage-y which is great since i like adding a touch of nostalgia as for sakura, its one of the best if youre trying to make slow-paced orchestra type songs, the bass presets also sound very accurate to real life basses
Yooo don't sleep on the envelope controller or the keyboard controller. Very handy when used with plugins that don't have an ADSR if you don't wanna set up a patcher network. Also, I'm so glad you put harmor in S tier. I also used harmless to learn cuz I thought harmor was was too daunting... Still one of my goto synths simply because it's so INSANELY powerful.
Man, it's funny that I was developing a melody progression when I clicked on this video, and then because you used that track from P5 in the video I realized I was accidentally ripping it off. lmao.
Fruity envelope controller is actually really cool. You can trigger envelope with midi to automate anything. Especially it shows its own potential in patcher. 😮
14:24 "This looks like a spaceship" My literal expression when I looked at Sines after purchasing. One of the best purchases ever and holy shit it reminded me of this video.
Harmor is sick because you can import an image into the synth to use as the sound generator - like have you ever wondered what a picture of your face sounded like? Well wonder no more!
Iiinteresting choice. The sawer is actually inspired by the soviet polyvoks synthesizer, while the poizone is the moog replica. I could swear on sawer it just sounds so so warm. Not sure how many people do make their own sounds but fl studio has a lot to offer for sound designers, sytrus and harmor are unbeatable. Only thing is that they can be sometimes annoying to use with all the menus and having to draw everything yourself.
Sytrus kinda gives me a headache to use, just cos personally it is pretty complicated, Harmor is easier for me, but when you get the hang of it, you can make some god tier sounds with it. Def goated
Fruity video player is super usefull when making sound design for something such as an animated logo or videogame sfx. The dev send you the animation in mp4, you make the sound for it and have it synced up and the end result is a SFX that is perfectly alligned to the animation or video.
Fruity Scratcher and Wave Traveller have always been in FL Studio (well except early 12 on Mac). Wave Traveller is the instrument and Fruity Scratcher is the effect.
This is super helpful. I’ve been trying to make sense of all the plugins and the problem is that their names are not very descriptive causing me to fumble around excessively.
I love to use the soundfont player due to how fast and simple it is compared to Direct wave but don't be fooled by the low cpu cost because it quickly rise when you add effects to it. It can also be really realistic sounding when using high quality samples!
About the Volatge Controller. The warning is there because you can create DC offsets with this plugin and possibly damage your speakers. And speaking of speakers, If you played DOOM 2016, or heard about it, Mick Gordon, it's composer, used Harmor to put the Number of the Beast and the pentagram(upside down) into the spectrograph. Lookup Cyberdemon and run it through the spectrograph, you'll be shocked.
When I plan to get FL Studio, I would probably stick with other VSTs (though I feel like FLEX would assist me as well). Though hearing Fruity Kick and Slayer sounds like a challenge to me.
*_FLEX, my favorite stock poison. Harmor is my biggest confusion. Maybe I'm not tweaking enough, but Harmor has A LOT of stuff to figure. Yes, I formerly used Sakura when I made my first OG song, but until I buy the full FL Studio, I'm going Kontakt and DS (Decent Sampler) player._* *_Still a Spitfire LABS user._*
MIDI out is useful for controlling hardware synths, voltage controller is similar but for analogue/modular synths that use CV/gate - the latter only works if your audio interface can output CV/gate.
If your list was "the most used plugins" it would go like: parametric EQ, limiter...stuff like that. I don't know if I have favorite synth but I have used MiniSynth a lot. I haven't used Sawer much for some reason but I intend to. And Harmor.
DIRECT WAVE IS NOT MENT FOR DOWNLOADED PRESENTS. ITS GREAT WHEN YOU HAVE LIKE 10 LAYERED SOUNDS IN LAYER PLUGIN AND EXPORT THEM AS DW INSTRUMENT - THAN YOU SEE HOW AWESOME THIS PLUGGIN IS 🤘💀🤘
Fruity voltage Controller ist for analog eurorack or any analog synth Its a Basic high voltage click Sound.... You need to root it in top another audio Output and Connect the audiocable to an eurorack synth or volca sync in Yes you can destroy your speaker
Systrus is such a beast - it's nice to manipulate the wave but when it comes to automation from inside the plugin there is one tool that beats systrus. serum.
There are just a ton of FL Studio synthesizers. I mainly use Flex because I am more familiar with the presets and User Interface, but I do meddle with the others when I want sounds that I know are in those plugins.
i used to love morphine before plugins became more widely available. too bad almost every system i used to run it on would freeze my machine if i was clicking thru sounds too quickly
I would love an effects version of this 🙏❤

I remake one using reaktor

5:58 Look mom! I'm on TV! Olbaid Bass Utopia
Nobody talks about GMS. I love it so much. I appreciate you putting it at S.
yeah
one of the best wavetable synths to use in fl studio, and yet no one talks about it
@@knucklepilled its not a wavetable but yeah it can load waveforms and adjust them making it rather powerful
Fruity DX 10 is S tier. It's responsible for a whole genre in South Africa called Amapiano. Log Drum preset 🔥 Million dollar vst right there.
First I'm hearing of this genre 🤔 You produce?
Yeah Artist & Record Producer

which effects do u usually add
@@zero111zero depends on what drum I'm tryna make. Usually I add a transient processor to control the attack/release, then I use other effects to taste.
When I started out making beats morphine and sakura were my go to plugins. Madly underrated
Cuz dem mfers were the only ones with half good sounding guitar presets
same
i dont know how to do additive synthesis much, but the presets are great if youre going for nostalgia, they feel very vintage-y which is great since i like adding a touch of nostalgia
as for sakura, its one of the best if youre trying to make slow-paced orchestra type songs, the bass presets also sound very accurate to real life basses
FLEX and Sytrus are probably some of the best synthesizers in default FL studio, as I use them practically all the time
6:46 "She's my friend" do you mean EVERYONE else's friends? She the only one that vibes to our music 😭😭
Yooo don't sleep on the envelope controller or the keyboard controller. Very handy when used with plugins that don't have an ADSR if you don't wanna set up a patcher network.

Man really put FL keys above slicex. I respect your bravery...
slicex is goated for workflow reasons, so quick to get started chopping stuff when you can just drop any loop in it and then start making beats
Man, it's funny that I was developing a melody progression when I clicked on this video, and then because you used that track from P5 in the video I realized I was accidentally ripping it off. lmao.
Fruity envelope controller is actually really cool. You can trigger envelope with midi to automate anything. Especially it shows its own potential in patcher. 😮
Yea man the world must know about the envelope controller
Agree.. thanks for saying it. I remember how mindblown I was when I found out how to use it
Formula controller is also super tight
Sytrus and Harmor are becoming my go-to synths for just about everything nowadays... I like electronic music so I guess that makes sense.
I will agree that FL Kick is niche, but it's fantastic for quickly layering over an existing kick sample when you need a bit more "oomph"
you definitely took some truth serum before recording, great video. excited for effects version!
praxi is the only person's opinion i would trust for a stock plugin tier list
Slicex > fruity slicer, slicex has an adjustable envelope which you can increase the attack on to make the chops flow better
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
u can do that with fruity slicer as well
i actually agree with most of these. nice tier list and happy new year praxi!
Toxic Bio is a beast, just got to put some time into it
14:21 this is so true, I’m very new to fl studio and when I first open biohazard I was extremely confused 😭

The bass presets in Sakura are awesome. Super warm and realistic, lots of potential for organic sounding bass after some EQ
Obviously it's better than BooBass...

dissing slicex will NOT be tolerated!!
just kidding lol, great video!! i need to try stock plugins more often :>
Very well put together video 👏🏻
first video i saw on your channel. I love the visualizer you used for your voice. Is that ZgameEditor?
Yes it is!

Patcher can also be used as a synth plugin. Its a ridiculously versatile plugin

Producer edition users: who are you people
I like the definitive explanation.👍🏼💯
everywhere i go i hear FL keys.
everywhere.
Nice video man!
Fl keys having Sticks and Stones as a callback to that how-to.

please do a follow up with the effect plugins!
You can use Peak controller to automate other stuff with transients of another track.
As a Belgian citizen, i love this Belgian software.
Morphine underrated tbh
make a beat with every single fruity plugin
Good Vid man thx a lot !
I like almost every default generator plugin in FL ngl
lmaoo so we've all watched that Mai video on how to sample?? that beat was insane
Album when?
btw fire video. praxi 500k when
well made video, nice!
You sound like Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about FL Studio related topic. =P
the fl beginner nostalgia phase hit me with some of these plugins
I would love to see you go deep into the learning curve of soundgoodizer
Fruity voltage Controller ist for analog eurorack or any analog synth
Its a Basic high voltage click Sound.... You need to root it in top another audio Output and Connect the audiocable to an eurorack synth or volca sync in
Yes you can destroy your speaker
Off topic but is that Simu Liu on the first stock image u showed??? Shang Chi????

Your outro sounds like Kaiba, nice
Oh man I wanna test out beepmap, I didn't know something like that existed lmao
Fruity Dance is in S tier so that means this tier list is valid
Apart from Envelope Controller, I don't think I ever agreed so much with a tier list
i used to love morphine before plugins became more widely available. too bad almost every system i used to run it on would freeze my machine if i was clicking thru sounds too quickly
directwave can resample any other synth or sound u use without having to own tht plugin so its goated for collabs
Good video. U buggn w Sakura tho omg
fl slayer can make some really good sounds if you know how to use it
My man you forgot the one plugin that belongs to the elusive S+ tier:
WASP XT (ヤギのプラグイン!!)
Video Player is so good if you do sound design, needs quite a lot of work though imo
Damn, I used to love the inferno guitar in Sytrus.
People have made hit songs with FL KEYS like not even playing platinum tracks
Murder on my mind used FL keys
that midi at 4:00 is from a cymatics pack isnt it?
YOO I HEARD THAT TOO
please make one of these for effect plugins!!!!
Drumpad is insanely underrated
i think toxic biohazard looks like a nokia
