I recently stumbled across a really cool DnB FL Studio template created by Cybernetika on Dogsonacid.com's forum and I decided to make my own based on my own requirements. Everything is set up to work right out of the box. Just add your favorite drum sounds, samples, synths, effects, vocals, whatever! Everything is pre-routed so all you have to do is drag and drop your sample or synth into the right sample channel listed in the drum roll. The coolest feature is (and not many no have to do) is that the bass is split into low, mid, high, and mid-high channels and are routed to a final bass out channel. This is perfect for creating nasty basslines because it gives you full control over how you want to modify your sound. This forum has given me so much in terms of learning how to produce and I just wanted to give a little something back. I hope you all enjoy it
Right on, thanks. Been looking for something like this.
Will this work on fruity 7?
With the most sincere of gratitude.

I'm not sure not but I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work. The only plugins used are the built in ones. I think you may have a problem with the limiter (Never version was added in v 9) but load it in and try it out

How did you do that?

Here is the way it is designed
Bass Input -> *Bass Low* (HP at 150), which routes to -> *Bass Mid* (96hz to 3,000hz), which routes to -> *Bass high* (LP at 3,200hz). Bass low is routed directly into the bass out bus and bass mid and high are routed to the mid/high bus and then finally sent to the bass out bus.

I love classical music. I really can't listen to BROSTEP 24/7 so I like to go back to classical and other genres. Also, if you mix white noise with classical music, its a great study tool (at least for me )

No, I get the theory, just wondering how the template was created.
Like, say you have a single bass instrument source, how do you get that to put to 3 seperate channels based it's frequencies? Or is it a single bass instrument being played in a group, with each level of the band with it's own mixer channel?
Also, how do you bring all three mixer bass channels back together end to process together, without using the groups?

Using sends, on the mixer tab, below the FX button is an arrow lookig sort of thing, if while having your channel selected you click that on another channel then the audio will be routed to it, useful for all kinds of effects...
Also on a sidenote, one of the audiophiles around here, think it might of been Basic on behalf of Macc was saying to use a multiband compressor not filters for splitting your bass, as the EQed bass will not add back together properly

therook, you're the man. Thanks for this, and the video. I just recently ran into that template on DOA also, and loved it! After using it I couldn't believe how easy it is to split frequencies. Apparently it is better practice to use a multiband compressor instead of an EQ to split frequencies though. Just thought that was worth mentioning.

Woah this is new to me lol. Do you have a post that explains that? Sounds like it would work. I do experience some weird sound glitches with the routing but its not really noticeable. Maybe the multiband compressor might fix that.

Thanks man, I had a play with FL last night and figured it out.
Will have another stab tonight w/ the multiband compressor thing instead.

You know that splitting basses with flters is grossly flawed, and you should be using the multiband compressor with the gains balanced and the frequencies dialed as needed, right?

Only just started fiddling with it, so couple of queries;
1) Why is it flawed?
2) Can you recommend a good freeware multiband?

You know I just noticed this. I was wondering why it was sounding a little bit weird. Any tips or suggestions for going about doing this?

youve got a decent enough multiband comp built into fl
And because "filter" is a fancy word for "eq with harmonic cutoff of 12db or more" ... and not linear phase. that means, that when you split the frequencies through a filter or eq, and then sum the wholes back together, the phase's are going to be totally different, meaning whole new waveforms in an additive sense... and youll have overlap. filter-eq splits will never sum flawlessly.
Its early here...
I typed up a good explanation here a while back after depone explained it too me.. http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=150531 ... have a read, its about reese's in that context but it applies to all bass sounds.

Nice one, will have a gander.

How did you do that?
in the mixer the little yellow buttons under each channel just filter off what u dont want then send them to one channel together im sure
EDIT
i guess some one answered this already

I must've been way too high yesterday, because after looking for 2secs today I found the fruity multiband comp
