Creation of Drum & Bass - Cerbera Walkthrough

UPDATE Sep. 25 2007:
The MP3 to go with the video can be downloaded here:
http://www.nfftrax.nl/trax/2004991868-Paradoc%20-%20Cerbera%20Chainsaw.mp3
The song is not finished as I'm too busy with other songs (and my life ;), but that'll do for now.

This is a walkthrough of the song Cerbera wich I posted earlier. I've been asked multiple times how I made that song wich led me to making this video.
This video also briefly explains some important factors to remember when you make Drum & Bass.

FL Studio has evolved from a small looped beat editor to a full grown All-in-one sequencer. This allows us to make virtually any music style with it, such as Drum & Bass, Trance, Hiphop etc.

For this song I only used FL Studio 7's plugins and samples so you can easily follow my instructions and make your own Drum & Bass.

Feel free to ask me any questions about the video or Drum n Bass itself as a genre.

oh im sorry I didn't realise 8hz isn't 8hz unless its crystal clear in quality -_- [incase your THAT slow, this is an example of sarcasm.]

sub bass = windows sound like they are going to fall out soon/have fallen out. end of conversation, go make loud music now, ps american rap music sucks. except eminem and immortal technique and a VERY select few others.

you've pissed me off, deal with the recoil.

Actually, Sub Bass doesn't make the windows shake. Sub bass is just a word to describe the audio frequency range of 20-90Hz.

What makes windows shake has everything to do with the resonance frequency of the windows and amplitude of the waveform. Trust me, I studied this at college.

The secret to kick ass basses in tracks is octave-layered sine waves and optimized compression plus a high quality, high displacement sub speaker, a wattage matching high quality amp and a crossover filter. That's it

[minclLess]

And about this track, I purposely decided not to go extremely low with the bass and keep some room for the bassy kick. I have another track in the making which does have a punching sub bass and a higher kick to go together.

how do you get the fruity philter?

I am highly impressed with your audio processing skills! And this video isn't even recent! Where have I been?! I'll have to check and see if you're continuing this great work...

[joespitzley2011]

Is there any way to save your current UI state or in simple term your "set up".. a way to load FL studio and have the same window and unit frame locations.

This vid has made me both happy and sad. I can't believe that FLIGHT sample has been sitting on my PC since FL7.

Thank you for exposing my ignorance!

Peace!

@minclLess could you make a tutorial on how to make this bass? it's amazing!

[DJSaschAustralia]

Dude... how did you learn all this!

[DjCyaneyed]

@Xenitic the most powerfull daw. only sweeds use a daws features only. all you really need from a daw is the possibility to render in high quality 16 and 24 bits 44.1khz all the other plugins you pick up around after ur liking. tho cubase and logic has pretty good built in tools. we use cubase at uni but in my spare time i like to use fl. its really no diffrence other than the fact that cubase has another workflow than fl studio and a crappy piano roll compared to fl.
