Do the “Route to free Mixer track” thing for the “Bracke CH 1,” the “Filtered Snare 1,” and “707 Crash.” On that menu, click “Route to free Mixer track.” (Or just type Control+L.) Don’t remember how to do that? Start off with clicking the button reading “Pow Kick.” When a display board appears (which is info on the kick sound), left-click the upper left side of this display until a drop down menu appears. Now it’s time to link each track in the Channel Rack with tracks on the Mixer. Click the number 130, not the decimal places reading “.000,”and scroll down until the tempo reads 90. Remember how to slow down the tempo? Find the tempo display to the right of the record button on the top of the screen.
When you see the tempo, you’ll see that it’s 130 beats per minute.
When you play this pattern, it might sound pretty cool, but it’s pretty fast. We can now compose a drumbeat with these sounds we have generated. Now find “Filtered Snare 1” under “Snares” and drag that to where the snare is on the Channel Rack and replace it. Now go back to the Browser and find “Bracke CH 1” under the “Hats” folder in “Drums.” Drag that sound to the Channel Rack like you did with the “Pow Kick” and replace the existing “hat” on the Channel Rack with “Bracke CH 1.” Drop the “Pow Kick” on top of the existing “Kick” button, to replace it. Left-click this “Pow Kick” and drag it to the Channel Rack. You should find “Kicks” in the “Drums” sub-folder. Now we should replace the kick, hat, and snare sound files with other kick, hat, and snare files. Do not place it over any of the existing drum sounds. When you find 707 Crash, left-click it, drag it, and drop it on the bottom of the Channel Rack. If “707 Crash” is programmed into FL Studio 12, find that. It should have a “Packs” folder containing a sub-folder called “Drums.” Inside “Drums” is “Cymbals.” When you left-click “Cymbals,” it should display a list of cymbals you can use for this new drumbeat. On the left side of this opening screen is the Browser. We will replace them with other sounds while adding a crash cymbal, too. Only this time, we will not use the drum sounds built into the Channel Rack. When you open up FL Studio 12, it should look like this. In this article (which is Part 1 of a two-parter), I will show you more tools to create a hip-hop drumbeat using the Browser, the Channel Rack, and the effects on the Mixer. In my last article, I showed you how to use some tools from FL Studio 12 to compose a simple beat.
