ADSR Sounds Deep House in FL Studio 12 [DVD / Tutorial]

Build A Deep House Track With FL Studio 12

Deep house is a popular genre right now, both in the mainstream and underground of electronic music. Using the latest version of Image Line’s FL Studio, we show you how to create a deep house track from scratch. Everything is covered, from drum production, to synth work, as well as mixing and mastering.

We start off by briefly covering some of the differences between FL Studio 12 and its predecessors, before using Drumaxx to create a simple house beat. Using the built-in synths of FL Studio, we show you how to create percussion, sound effects and sweepers, as well as using them for basslines, leads and pad sounds. We also cover the arrangement of the track, before detailing the processes of subtractive and additive mixing.

For the purposes of this course, it is recommended that you have the producer version of FL Studio, with all of its related plugins, like Harmor, PoiZone and Harmless, as these will be used throughout the course.

ABOUT YOUR TUTOR

I’ve been producing music for around six years now. I started off using Propellorhead’s Reason, and then migrated over to FL Studio in order to start using external plugins and VSTs. I mainly produce Progressive and Electro House as well as Trance, and have recently taken an interest in Trap and Hardstyle.

I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2015 and studied for a year at Texas A&M University, USA in 2013. I have produced multiple tracks under my name, as well as producing instrumentals for other artists internationally. I am currently an alumni of a Texas A&M organization called the “DJ’s of Aggieland” and have spun at numerous house parties, with several big opportunities lined up for the immediate future.

I hosted a weekly radio show whilst studying in Texas, playing my own music, as well as tracks from local producers. In 2015 I had a radio show at the University of Nottingham on URN1350.

I have a SoundCloud account that showcases the music I make professionally. You can find it by searching for “FleeC”.
