FL STUDIO TUTORIAL - How to Make a Westcoast Beat - Part 1/2 (Piano and Drums)

http://www.hiphoptutorial.com


In this video show you how to make a very simple Westcoast style beat in Fruity Loops Studio (the beat at the beginning of the video). This beat highlights some of the basic concepts of Westcoast style beats.

This is the 1st of a 2 part series. Part 1 will show you how to add the: piano chords, piano melody, drum beat

If you want it to sound like the beat playing in the beginning, don't forget to up the tempo to 150, and add some hats. Also remember, there are a lot of other things you can do with this...for example you can change the low piano to strings. Also, this is not mastered or anything...it is just to show you basic Westcoast concepts w/ an example.

If this video is too fast for you, check out our intro to interface video, or our how to make a simple beat video.

Enjoy

Please, can someone help me out? Ok, so here is my problem; When i lay down a drum pattern and i get the overall volume to my satisfaction, i then lay down some bass and synth or whatever. however, when i get the other sounds laid down, the overall volume of the drums are now raised. i then adjust the volumes accordingly, but when it's time for the other sounds to cut out and only the drums should play...the drums volume is now way too low!! Pleas help me, thanx everyone ;)
