Fruity Loops IDM Breakcore Tutorial

[FurryMouko]

REASON PLEASE

[hansvalen]

please do the reason tutorial

[rockthecan]

ehh detund.com IDM!!!

[RawrCars]

I'm just learning, but i have FL 10 and theres no bottom part of the piano roll where you edit pitch and such

[pokerbmx1]

vst name plss????

[Anton6886]

Guys who is reapeting others stuff all over again !!! YOU FUCKING IDIOTS !!!!

[detanor]

Why not try 120p something. I can still read some of the words on the screen.

[nubbinownz]

@detanor I'll see what I can do. I tried my best but this was the lowest I could get the resolution :( Next time I'll just record the camera with my phone for ya :D

[DaFreyzaz]

fuckin tight tunes! grrrreat video! BUT! the camera makes me dizzy :s

[stickmister321]

: O So IDM'ish. What you used for that "whum"? Cymbals or what?

[xXFind815Xx]

WHERE CAN I FIND THOSE DRUM SAMPLES????

[FurryMouko]

@xXFind815Xx all over the interdwebs.

[MineSweepingKent]

Wow cool, I've just been getting into this stuff and I have some experience with Fruity Loops and.. this explains a lot. Thanks man.

[t0pn0tchb0ss3]

!!! I GOT BEATS !!!

[suppaclassic90]

@derkai90

I personnaly prefer cubase with kontakt as a slicer.

even if you don't have cutoff fonctionality, there is note pitch available too.

[forsides]

Yay! Breakcore!

check out breakcore tunes by Forsides

lokust9 - i think you have to copy and paste them one at a time

[lokust9ine]

Hey I know you made this video a while ago, but! i have a pretty basic question and i'm not having a lot of luck finding out the answer--(btw--if anyone else out there can answer this question for me, I would be very happy. Ok--Say you have used a basic sliced loop and you open it in the piano roll. Once you have adjusted it to your liking, is it possible to take ALL 4 BEATS (i.e., ONE Measure) on the piano roll and just copy the pattern and paste it again IN THE piano roll?

[nubbinownz]

@lokust9ine You can select all of the notes and then ctrl+c, ctrol+v. Or hold shift and click and drag the notes over and it makes a copy.

[lokust9ine]

Hey! Once again, I really like this video and say thanks for doing it. You helped me out a lot. It's basic stuff, but I figured out how to do the filter cut-off thing and I'm psyched about that. Now that I know how to use the chopper in conjunction with the note parameters! thanks

[lokust9ine]

Thanks a very whole much a lot. My only question is...how do you "Stretch" a snare roll, as u described, to a "flow of 32/64th notes"? Chopping? or is it in the "line" command? If there is any way you would respond with a hint, I would totally appreciate it!

[HBD22Tech]

How do you get that hard snare sound? I hear it everywhere!

[SomeShows]

Also if you're going to slice and fuck with the amen break you just HAVE to use Renoise, I assure you the work that is being done in this video can be done in a much more easy/convenient way that doesn't cut corners as far as quality. When your whole program is basically a steroid-fed sampler, there's not much else that can beat it as far as slicing.

[setfiretoflames88]

IDM is not a genre, breakcore is not a genre, they can not be taught and have no 'basic ideas', fuck off. lots of my favourite 'breakcore' has no amen breaks either.

[tormentedbUrn]

thanks! rlly helped

[ChezWearsVans]

Amazing result but I don't know how to do :O

[afdba]

now why the hell did you start before filming... it'd be nice to now how you chopped the notes etc and did the effects... alot of - from that

[Munchy365]

What program would be the best for making music similar in style to Amon Tobin or Aphex Twin?

[elARTEdelPOOP]

@Munchy365 Ableton Live

Venetian Snares use it!

[Deathsiren]

@elARTEdelPOOP So what? That he uses it, doesn't mean everyone can create wonders with it.

[RoastLambShanks]

@elARTEdelPOOP well actually hes well known for using Renoise, but I expect like all good artist he dabbles with whatever

[SomeShows]

@RoastLambShanks He's made it clear in a few interviews that he uses Renoise in addition to Cubase and a few other things for mixing down. I have one of his gear-lists from an interview he did and he uses a LOT of outboard gear, too, so it's not like he's just using ONE thing to make good music. I think that's what more people need to learn, branch out from staying within just one software, and use things from your daily life to make music. Aphex started out with soda cans, now look at him.

[xxmago]

You could remake this with better quality

[ilabstudios]

If anyone wants to produce a high quality IDM track, FLStudio is a challenge to use to get a great sound from it without bombarding it with tons of VSTs. The only way to get a rich organic sound is building your own sounds from scratch.

[nubbinownz]

@ilabstudios That's not necessarily true. Fl has quite a few tools available to pull this off, though I will say the best way to get the right sounds is to make them yourself. Which is also very easily done in FLstudio.

[Voldemorc]

@ilabstudios What are you talking about? You can make your own sounds and put them in FL, you don't HAVE to use FL's sounds, and you shouldn't either.

[Bluesage2009]

@ilabstudios

this is not true at all.

[litlekarim33]

can i get the amen anywhere?

[akiratrooper]

@litlekarim33 google is your friend. I got one on wikipedia, actually. I sliced and looped it, and voila.

[litlekarim33]

i dont know how you did the the beginning ! How did u use the slicer and why is the drum beat already finished like this and .. i just need the beginning !

[Lord0Drizzle]

Simple and nice. Just wondering where you got the nice sample. And it'd be nice to see a solid tutorial on the bass for dnb, if you're into that too.

[DrunkedCat]

Hey nubbinownz! can you share that drumloop please? tell me where did you find it!!! PLEASE!!!

[XjimmyXdarknessX]

Venetian Snares Influencial sounds!

[noiser09]

what plugin is?

[commandandconq3]

just kinda epic thing lol :) like for making effects special sounds etc....

[mkkoudy]

thanks...

[SessileNomad]

im pretty sure thats not actually the amen

[nubbinownz]

I assure you that it is lol.

[SessileNomad]

under the 'old skool' drum beat loop pack i got, the amen is a different beat, this one is called firefight, or fire flight or something like that, it does sound very similar to the amen though, idk maybe im retarded

[nubbinownz]

it is the amen break, just edited and resampled to bring out the sounds of it. but it's still the basic amen. Obviously much faster.

[zwerty007]

@nubbinownz Yeh, its the same, but with slightly different kick

[Jannips]

Very good video.

I liked it but I didn t get the name of the

drum plugin...

is it something like "amen" or "a-man"?

[nubbinownz]

the plugin is the fruity slicer, using a sample referred to as the "amen break" it's sampled from the song amen brother by the winstons

[Jannips]

Thanks allot ;-)

[chillskid]

sounds very much like aphex twin

[mattehISme]

thx man!

[DrunkedCat]

where can I get some drumloops?

[marcomusicc]

the breakcore website has like 345600 pages of drum samples, go there!

[teriblemistake]

hey people when i make more sounds then enough when i press play all the sounds go crazy like it's scratching , is there something a can do with it ?

[Ilisity]

pretty good man , but you need to work on your rythem and structure a bit more

[nubbinownz]

Hehehe I appreciate the feedback amigo but this isn't an actual song. This is just a little tutorial to show people how to do something, if you'd like to check my channel and look at some of my actual songs it'd be much appreciated :)

[Ilisity]

just checked out some of you vids, they're really good . Sorry I didn't mean to offend , I just think rythem/structure are massive part of breakcore/idm . Did you check out my moya mix ? I'm thinking of doing a tut on structure , i think thats what all breakcore tuts are missing.

[nubbinownz]

I'll be honest. I think the big thing about IDM and breakcore structure is that they don't have any. that was kind of the appeal for me when originally listening to the genre. It was so random sounding and still enjoyable.

[Corneljs]

4 all who asks what kind of music that is! it's called Breakcore, but its NOT an official style! every intepret has his own style, so u can't say:" thats breakcore, thats not breakcore!"

i hope i could help u! 4 more info about electronic music, write me a message!

[resindrummer]

hey hey, this is a pretty useful vid, but i was wonderin if you could do one covering the actual music side of IDM, like basslines n synths.

[nubbinownz]

Ahhh, now there's the thing isn't it. IDM is such a broad category for music. It ranges from so many different leads melodies pads and basslines. I notice that most of the genre tends to lean on the melodic side, emotionally charged. :D

i have another set of video's which is a full walkthrough of a song creation, you could check that out and see if that has anything to do with what you want.

[FrobblOo]

sry for the spam but i think that you must be experienced in the kind of music u make. (u can delete these after u read them too)

so to tell an example for one similar artist "shitmat" is the only one i could find who really is like the kind of music u do here.

am not able to find any really similar others. :(

u know, using these sudden pitch changing drums etc....

would be so thankfully if you could tell me some. :)

[nubbinownz]

check out "The Flashbulb" I think that might be what you're looking for :D

[FrobblOo]

hm flashbulb also is this kind of more ambient than idm/breakcore. :/

for example shitmats "sniffer dogs" is what i meant.

it almost includes a lot of dnb. mainly it is much faster than the flashbulb. kinda dnb and idm maybe.

[SessileNomad]

aphex twin also

[FrobblOo]

also, now this is exactly the music im looking for. but what is it called as genre?

if i look for breakcore and idm i find thousands of artists like aphex twin etc. aphex twin of course has a very few songs that are like htis.

but EXACTLY this, what is it called?

[FrobblOo]

do you release your tracks officially somewhere? you have an artist name or something?

i really like the song you made in this video. would like to listen to more of you!

[alchemist940]

Wow nubbin, when I listened to your album, I always thought you were using dblue glitch, but you do it all manually? I HAVE to give this a go. This has been eye-opening for me, I have a feeling I'm going to be using this method a lot. This reminds me of Aphex Twin, who is one of my favorite artists

[nubbinownz]

Haha, yeah Dblue is an amazing vst, but not the way alot of others use it. The only time I'll use Dblue is for something minor in a song, or to get effects to make single hit drums VIA resample :D

[ITRIPZONE]

wtf ? why are u moving the window that way u do? stop creating eyecancer

[nubbinownz]

it was the webcam max, i had it following my cursor :) check the new one i've got up, better quality :D

[ITRIPZONE]

sry, dont to be disrespectful....just wondering....

[nubbinownz]

No worries man, no disrespect taken :D

[icey2292]

never knew vince vaughn was into idm lol.

[nubbinownz]

it's a second life I lead.

[WARSORE666]

Good drums, not bad...

[cheyvan17]

Can you do a breakcore tutorial on reason please?

Good tutorial but try to download Camstasia to record your tutorials. :)

[nubbinownz]

I would love to , but I don't have the setup that I used to anymore and it's going to be alot harder for me to my recording up, I'll do my best to get it working as I've had a couple people ask me now :D

[yourlocalloser]

This is the one! Helpful. The only reason I could tell it was your first video is because you said so. And ghetto is the new techno =)

[yungirie619]

fruity slicer SUCKS DICK!!!!! SLICE X BITCH

[nubbinownz]

haha slice X is infinitely better than the slicer. But I was going for simple. Slice X would be a tutorial all on it's own.

[MagnitudePerson]

Theres on such tihng asI DM Breakcore.

if u mean like Aphex Twin - Girl / Boy Song music when the beatz fucks up

THEN ITS CALLED GLITCH MUISC.

Breakcore is like whatu dsxcrbed art first, Gltch is what all IDM artists forget to mention!

[nubbinownz]

hehe check out the description im labeling as IDM / Breakcore. as in one or the other. Not a single style of music. Just a jump start into how to get the drum styles down for that genre of music. I know what glitch is ;) and glitch music is very different than IDM music with Glitch drums ;) <3

[penaytristeza]

the video quality is poor, dude....but the tutorial is fine...thanks for posting!

[plandercozeron]

i didnt find pitch(velocity ,etc) bar under patterns O_o and how to slice and place in patterns?shortly pls tell

[kuusteist]

Thanks, I've been trying to figure out the breakcore enigma for some time now. I'll be sure to use this trick in my newer songs, I usually just layered the amen over some gabber beats and left it at that. After the rhythm you just have to add some sped up vocals on top of it all like a big fat juicy cherry :p

[swishaswisha]

I tried to make a breakcore type song...it turned out hella tight but its not breakcore. I made a cool video to it...come check it out and tell me what genre this would fall under. thanks!!

[supermaaannnn1]

where do you start?! >: |

[Musicmakerbegginer]

Good tut.

[boranboy]

Great tutorial, but I don't like the result. I'm sorry, but it's not my kind of breakcore. Nothing new to me, but I guess you help out a lot of people here ;). Keep up the good stuff!

[nuclearferrets]

btw your tutorial was good, but it would be even better if one could see all your steps better and in a higher quality, maybe you could zoom in a bit or something, if you get it with the filming technique :)

[nuclearferrets]

i just didn't get how you made this cutoff effect after your first beat, the long thing that looked like this IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII you know, it's hard for me to explain because i don't know the fitting terms, but i hope you get me ;)

[jenjen4218]

in the piano roll, highlight the section that you wanna chop and click on (i think... i don't have the program open) the little wrench icon in the top left of the piano roll and go through the different lists until you find "quick chop". open that and the default setting for it offers even chops of whatever's highlighted (whole, half, 1/4, etc.)... he's probably turned the knob all the way to the 1/32nd... anyhow, fiddle with the main knob until you've got the chop you want.

hope this helps

[nubbinownz]

i just switch it to 1/4th or 1/6th step in the snap to and paint brush it as small as possible.

[nuclearferrets]

thanks a lot, you both, i got it :)

[sighwonder]

delete your amen break!

[nubbinownz]

NEVER!!!! It's my friend and I love it :( I only use it for special occasions, very much like my heart <3

[DnBstepper]

Its nice , where can I download that program ? =O

[mezcalineboy]

REASON REASON REASON1!!!!!!!....

[Daaanvh]

Thank you very much! This really helped me out. :)

[Lemphek]

Please please PLEASE create a FL tutorial...

Wait!

[ImpracticalBravery]

Zehlvalk, you're a cunt. That is all

[Ranzess2]

Thanks. That was very helpful to me.

[RnBsks]

these mistakes are mine alone is a good song:p

[NaPzt3R]

Good tutorial.

Where did you get the 'take a bite out of crime' sample? :)

[azgrem]

Please please PLEASE create a Reason tutorial! I enjoyed the vid, very helpful indeed... I've been working in FL for the past 4 years and have JUST switched over to Reason. I incorporate amen breakloops into everything that I make, but cant for the life of me find out how to automate the vel/pitch/effects etc like I can in the FL piano roll

Please create a reason vid!

[haz89]

lol good attempt man usin fruity for this takes the piiiiiss, especially if your fussy like me, i used to load cut up amen breaks into my sampler and do it that way, im not a huge fan of fruity slicer, either way nice tutorial and where did you get that "TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME" sample id be willing to trade you i got some retty cool ones

[joninho1]

i love this video, great, keep up the good work (Y)

[vordkaze]

naste

[labhogaborg]

lolol

[vordkaze]

Thanks for teaching us how to chop an amen break. This is really a new IDM BREAKCORE trick.

not.

[Reason4Music]

doing! here you have my second account!

I'm glad things did work out though for you, hopefully you have your shit sorted out! I am still trying to sort my shit out inside FL ;) different story!

As I am doing a bit more inside FL, I am very gratefull for showing me how to use the sequencer bit inside Fl, since that helped me alot!

I have become a fan of using the slice tool, and changing the pitch, velocity, events and what not... ;)

My mind is the limit sort of!

signed, Hyd!

[mushroom00]

srry guys, the tutorial is amazin but I'm not english speaker and I don't get from where he takes that amazing loop that he after slices. Anyone knows where I can find it? I think that could be really important.

[DaveWangisJesus]

Dude sounds like Adam Corolla haha

[NurrenNife]

He is Adam Corolla >_>

[pluvieux1]

hah the thing you open as an example. I have it on my mp3 player. Downloaded it on newgrounds.

[VulpesDomination]

Very nice tutorial man!

[fugazi32]

RUFF Amen!

[djdorama]

oh god deep voice

[nubbinownz]

my voice isn't deep :(  is it ?

[basfoor]

very thank you xD

[CAG044]

PROTIP: Don't use FL. Use Renoise or at least Ableton Live.

[nubbinownz]

LAWL Renoise is a tracker. If you're into trackers that's great. Go for it. Enjoy your horrible interface. Ableton is fine, and the only thing I would prefer with ableton is the way it handles raw audio. But I can get along just perfect with FL now. I switched from reason myself.

[jonread12]

abletons effects are alot beter than fruity loops aswell, i use both of em.

[nubbinownz]

To be honest, it's more a matter of what vst's you're using and what not. As far as default effects go, I wouldn't say that ableton has THAT good of default effects. I will restate, that it handles audio much better than other programs I've used.

[CAG044]

Renoise is infinately better for sample-based music than "FL Studio". Interface doesn't even come into this. If you are too confused by a vertical sequencer, then enjoy your childish techno-trance DAW =]

[CAG044]

Also, the "breaks" in this video are a classic example of why trackers are much better than DAWs.

[nubbinownz]

Cool.. go ahead and link me to your music :) I'd love to check it out :D

[CAG044]

I don't release it. =]

[Garfler]

dude.... nono

[arinlares]

but, why not use a tracker DAW? Renoise, MadTracker, so on and so forth... It's a matter of preference (I use trackers, though). But, these ideas are fairly universal, if you have the tools.

[nubbinownz]

exactly, it's a matter of preference. I prefer a sequencer layout, some might enjoy a tracker. Personally, I don't have the knowhow to give a tutorial on a tracker, so this is all I can offer :)

[basfoor]

where do you get the amen break ??

pls answer :)

[nubbinownz]

You can just google it :D amen.wav

[emperormortus]

where is the amen break?i cant find it :(

[wax83]

Yesss!!!I used to make soundz within flstudio in a very similar

way to yours and it's really fun!

I used kontakt with some tasty scripts loaded onto,

with some parameters mapped out to fruity's MIDI

OUT ch.I had my chopped up breakbeat sequence layed down and knobby tweaking all thru da day!!Nice!Keep up!

[TheWorldOfJames]

Hey, where do you get your snare sounds from? are they the ones that come with FL studio? That break at 1:10 is cool did you make it or is it preset? im kinda new to FL hehe cheers

[jonread12]

its the amen break.

[thedarkshadower]

shit videorecorder

[nubbinownz]

i wasn't demoing the video recorder lol :P

[Kuztraal]

Pretty awesome, helped me alot.. still need too variate my god damn breaks more though ;( and i somehow find that really hard and annoying.

[thesurrealist101]

cheers man, this was helpful

x

[Neungpeedip]

Sweet video. Thank you :D

[lowenf]

Great tutorial, good sarcastich humor too :P

A Reason tutorial would be greatly appreciated! been struggling a while now and only have reason on my mac..

[nubbinownz]

anything particular in reason ?

[lowenf]

I've always wondered how to do breakcore beats/breaks in Reason. Don't feel that redrum is the right tool for that :P Also wondered how to do those notepitches, like in this movie, in Reason & stuff like that. I've seen ppl use renoize and add a effect to every note with some code and I'm trying to find something equally in Reason.

[GuerrillaVirus]

Cool tutorial - Please check out my IDM music and tell me what you think. I'm from Montreal and IDM is not that popular here

[daredevilbob00]

Awesome, this helps.

[trceb]

man im glad your using fl. your the man i was going to ask you for help/

[Spikeaccost]

hey aug

[nitrobunny2]

i LOLd when you said hi this is nubbinownz anyways nice tutorial 5 stars

[turtleneck37]

Goodjob nubbin :D
