In this guide, I’ll show you how to make a Dubstep/Chill track in FL Studio using some basic synthesis and effects.

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my guide on how to make Dubstep/Chill music in FL Studio 64 Bit. This guide will take you through the basics of using FL Studio, as well as some more advanced techniques. I will also show you how to create your own professional quality Dubstep/Chill music.

First, you will need to download FL Studio 64 Bit. You can do this by going to www.flstudio64bit.com. Once you have downloaded and installed FL Studio, you will need to launch it.

When FL Studio first opens, you will be presented with a screen that looks like this:

What You Will Need

In order to make dubstep/chill music in FL Studio 64 Bit, you will need:

-A copy of FL Studio 64 Bit installed on your computer
-An audio interface
-A MIDI controller
-Headphones

Once you have gathered all of the necessary equipment, launch FL Studio 64 Bit and create a new project. Then, follow these steps:

1.Open the Project Browser and navigate to the “Templates” folder.

2.Select the “Dubstep” template and click “Load”.

3.This will open a pre-loaded project with all of the instruments and sounds you need to get started.

4.To begin composing your track, start by adding a bassline. To do this, click on the “Bass” channel and select an appropriate sound from the browser.

5.Then, use your MIDI controller to input the notes for your bassline into FL Studio 64 Bit.

6.Next, add a drum beat by clicking on the “Drums” channel and selecting a sound from the browser. Again, use your MIDI controller to input the notes for your drum beat.

7.Once you have added a bassline and drumbeat, you can start adding additional sounds and effects to your track. To do this, experiment with the different channels and instruments until you find a combination that you like.

8.When you are happy with your track, click on the “File” menu and select “Export”. Then choose how you would like to export your track (e.g., as an MP3 file) and give it a name.

Step One

The first thing you need to do is find a good beat. If you don’t have FL Studio, you can get it [here.](https://www.image-line.com/flstudio/) Once you have FL Studio, open it up and create a new project. Find a beat that you like and drag it into the project.

Step Two

Now that you have your music software up and running, it’s time to start thinking about what kind of music you want to make. In this article, we’ll be focusing on making dubstep/chill music in FL Studio 64 bit.

When it comes to dubstep, there are two main schools of thought – the “wub wub” style characterized by heavy bass and drop-offs, and the more chilled out style that often makes use of organic sounds and melodies. In this tutorial, we’ll be sticking to the latter style as it’s generally easier for beginners to get into.

First things first, let’s open up a new project in FL Studio. You can do this by going to File > New from the top menu bar. Once you have a new project open, you should see a screen that looks something like this:

Step Three

Now that you have your basic sound, it’s time to add a second layer. In dubstep, this is usually a tighter, more hi-hat focused sound. In chill music, this might be a brighter and higher lead synth line.

In FL Studio 64 Bit, there are two main ways to add a second layer:

The first is to use the Layers window. This will allow you to mix and match different sounds, as well as edit each sound independently.

To do this, first click on the “Add Layer” button at the bottom of the Layers window. This will open up a new window with a list of all the available sounds. Find the sound you want to use and click on it to select it. Then, click the “Open” button to add it to your project.

The second way to add a second layer is to use the Pattern Editor. This is a more traditional way of working with samples in FL Studio 64 Bit. To do this, first find the sound you want to use in the Browser window. Then, drag it into an empty Pattern slot in the Pattern Editor.

Step Four

Now, you need to add a second instance of the Fruity Limiter to your Master track. Set the Gain to -6 dB, and the Release to around 150 ms. Then, go to the Filter section and set the cutoff frequency to around 200 Hz.

Step Five

Now you will add a growl to your music. In the channel rack, create a new sound by clicking the + button and selecting “Growl.” A growl is a low, guttural sound that provides a sense of depth and power to your dubstep music. You can adjust the parameters of your growl by double-clicking on it in the channel rack and opening the “Growl” settings window. Experiment with the different settings until you find a sound that you like.

Step Six

In the Step Sequence window, hold down ‘Alt’ and click on the 16th step. This will add a note at that position in the bar. If you hover your mouse over the Step Sequence window, you’ll see that the grid is made up of 16 steps. So, in our example, we’re adding a note on the first beat of the bar.

Step Seven

Now that you have your drums and instruments in place, it’s time to start thinking about the mixing process. In FL Studio, the mixer is where you control the levels of each track, add effects, and generally shape the sound of your project.

To open the mixer, click on the “Mixer” button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen:

The mixer will open up in a separate window. Each track in your project will have its own channel in the mixer, so you can control its level independently from the other tracks.

To adjust the level of a track, simply click and drag the fader up or down. You can also mute a track by clicking on the speaker icon next to its fader.

If you want to add an effect to a track, first make sure that track is selected in the mixer. Then, click on the “Effects” button in the upper left-hand corner of the mixer window:

This will open up a menu of all available effects. To add an effect to a track, simply drag it from this menu onto that track’s channel in the mixer.

Conclusion

Making dubstep or chill music in FL Studio 64 bit is not much different than any other type of music production. The key is to start with a good drum loop and then add in your bass line and other elements. You can use synths, samples, or live instruments to create your sound. Once you have your track complete, be sure to add effects and mix it down to get the best sound possible.
