Oh, and read the manual if you haven't already. It's full of precise information about your exact set of tools. It goes into the details of what EVERY knob, button, or switch.

Once your happy with your EQ's/levels look into things like parallel compression, resampling & frequency splitting

Hope this helps

WHAT?! This is absurd.

For one thing, the plug-ins in FL Studio are generally extremely capable.

For another, until the capacity of one's plug-ins are understood and mastered, it's senseless to add more ingredients.

For yet another, if this guy is new to the arts and he's already dropped a couple bills on FL Studio, there's no reason at all to ask him to buy more stuff; if an additional plug-in is needed, cost-free options abound and should be considered first - IF an additional plug-in is needed.

Next you're going to tell him to get Massive so he can make better wobbles? Good grief. What shitty advice you give.

I feel obligated to also post something constructive now, so heres something I just thought of: slowing down the tempo can make a tune feel heavier. Or just creating more space/rest. Or you could go to a half time feel. But if you're already doing a half time feel with snare on 3.... Put the snare on the 5 out of every 8 counts! I've heard this in metal songs actually...

Artie Fufkin wrote:True, but if you take the half time feel of that, 110bpm, and then half time of that, you get 55bpm. Of course the difference would be that usually a drummer playing at 220bpm might just play the double kicks still at 32nd notes haha. The example in my head is Nile. That drummer will play blast beats and then switch to snare on 5 sometimes and that contrast is really heavy in my opinion.
