If you want to get that psychedelic rock sound, then you need this FL Studio kit. It includes everything you need to get started, and it’s easy to use.

Psychedelic Rock Sound

Psychedelic rock is a genre of music that came to prominence in the late 1960s. The sound is characterized by distorted guitars, mind-bending sound effects, and often drug-inspired lyrics. If you’re looking to create a psychedelic rock sound, this FL Studio kit is a great place to start.

What is Psychedelic Rock?

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that is inspired, or influenced by, psychedelic culture and which attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs. The music typically contains one or more electric guitars, a bass guitar, drums, and often keyboard instruments such as organ or piano. The style is likewise distinguished from other types of rock by its use of extended chord progressions, unusual time signatures, and often pseudo-random song structures.

The Elements of Psychedelic Rock

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that is inspired or influenced by psychedelic culture and attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs. It became prominent in the music of the mid-1960s as artists sought to replicate the experience of LSD and other psychedelic drugs.

Psychedelic rock is generally characterized by distorted guitars, musical experimentation, and drug-inspired lyrics. Although not all psychedelic rock contains drug references, many songs make direct or indirect references to LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, hashish, DMT, and other psychedelics.

The elements of psychedelic rock include:
-Distorted electric guitars
-Extended instrumentation including feedback, keyboards, electric sitars, and Mellotrons
-Experimental production techniques such as backward tapes and phasing
-Drug-related lyrics about LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, hashish, DMT, and other psychedelics

What is FL Studio?

FL Studio is a music production software program that gives you everything you need to create professional quality songs. It is also known as Fruity Loops due to its unique interface and the way it produces music. The software has been around for over 15 years and is used by some of the biggest names in the music industry, including DJ Premier, Madeon, and Skrillex.

The Elements of FL Studio

In order to use FL Studio, you need to understand the basic elements that make up the software. The first thing you need to know is that FL Studio is made up of five main windows: the Channel Rack, the Playlist, the Mixer, the Piano Roll, and the Browser. Each one of these windows serves a different purpose and understanding how they work together is essential to making music in FL Studio.

The Channel Rack is where you will find all of your sound sources. These can be either virtual instruments or audio files that you have imported into FL Studio. The Playlist is where you will arrange your musical composition. You can think of it as a blank canvas onto which you will paint your masterpiece. The Mixer is where you will mix your track, adding effects and adjusting levels. The Piano Roll is where you will create and edit your melodies and basslines. And finally, the Browser is where you will manage all of your files and resources.

Now that you know the basic elements of FL Studio, let’s take a more in-depth look at each one.

How to Use the FL Studio Kit to Get a Psychedelic Rock Sound

This FL Studio kit includes everything you need to get a psychedelic rock sound. It includes a drum kit, bass patches, and synth presets. You’ll also find a guide on how to use the kit to get the best results.

Step One: Choose Your Instruments

The first step in getting a psychedelic rock sound is to choose your instruments. While you can use any instruments you like, we recommend using a drum kit, electric guitar, and bass guitar for this particular genre. If you’re using virtual instruments, make sure to choose ones that have a “psychedelic” sound to them. For example, you might want to use a distorted electric guitar or a wah-wah pedal on your bass guitar.

Step Two: Set up Your Drum Kit

Once you’ve chosen your instruments, it’s time to set up your drum kit. For a psychedelic rock sound, we recommend using a tom-tom heavy drum beat. You can create this by setting up your drums in a square formation and positioning the hi-hats in the middle.

Step Three: Play Your Instruments

Now that your instruments are all set up, it’s time to start playing them! Get creative and experiment with different sounds and techniques. Remember, there are no rules when it comes to creating psychedelic rock music!

Step Two: Choose Your Effects

Now that you’ve got your instruments, it’s time to add some effects. To get that psychedelic rock sound, you’ll want to use lots of delay and reverb. You can use other effects like phasers and flangers, but delay and reverb are the most important.

For delay, I recommend using the D-Flanger plugin. Set the “Mix” knob to 100%, the “Feedback” knob to around 80%, and the “Time” knob to around 50%. This will give you a nice, long delay that will really make your psychedelia shine.

For reverb, I recommend using the Fruity Reeverb 2 plugin. Set the “Predelay” to 5 ms, the “Decay time” to 250 ms, and the “Dampening” to 50%. This will give you a nice, rich reverb that will fill out your sound.

You can play around with other settings on these plugins, but these are a good starting point.

Step Three: Record Your Track

Now that you have your instruments all set up, it’s time to start recording! When recording in FL Studio, you can record your tracks one at a time, or all at once. For this particular project, we’re going to record our guitars and bass first.

To record your track, first click on the Record button at the top of the interface. This will bring up the Record Settings dialogue box. Here, you can set your input and output levels, as well as choose whether you want to record in mono or stereo. For this project, we’re going to set our input level to around -12dB and our output level to 0dB. We’re also going to choose to record in stereo.

Once you’ve got your settings configured, hit the Record button again and FL Studio will count down from three. When it reaches zero, it will begin recording. Play your track through from beginning to end. When you’re finished, hit the stop button and FL Studio will automatically create a new track for you with your recorded audio.

Conclusion

To sum up, this FL Studio kit is an excellent way to get started with producing psychedelic rock music. It contains everything you need to get started, and the results can be quite impressive. So if you’re looking for a way to get started with this type of music, this is definitely the way to go.
