How To Record METAL in FL STUDIO - Home Recording

Thanks for watching guys! If you got any tips for recording metal in FL Studio, let everyone know with a comment below!

wow this was an amazing video and walkthrough. you showed us everything we needed to know. Thanks so much!

where can i download this bass?

BEEN playing guitar never been able to record anything, luckily I was gifted FL from a friend. I can’t even figure out how to record 1 track so this’ll be fun

for some reason after i create the outputs in Kontakt i can't assign the kick or overheads to different outputs. When i click the drop down menu it just shows st. 1

What about recording and mix live drums for metal in FL Studio?

for anyone struggling with the amp bit - next to imput it says ext , change that to post track and it will record your amp sound , it also always monitors so remember to change it back after

name of the song?

When I record my guitar it's already routed to my guitar mixer fader that is 26 for me so when i put it to the left mixer fader 27 it's just the di sound... After you recorded it's not routed yet. What am I doing wrong

Excellent tips. Thank you for sharing. I want make a note for those using a drumkit plugin outside of Kontakt such as ML Drums Free from ML Sound Labs: when mapping the connections on the Processing tab of the settings, you'll notice that there is an output connection. I map this output to a separate channel than the Master (null) and route my various instruments (kick, snare, cymbals) just as shown here, but I remove all routings on the output channel so that it is no longer audible. This enables me to isolate the kick or snare or any of the other channels if I need to.

So I’m new to all this and just installed Fl studio 20 yesterday. I got it all set up and can see the signal from my guitar but I don’t hear anything? I selected my interface with the audio input but still nothing. Do I need headphones or speakers installed to my interface? I thought I could just hear it through my computer speakers but that doesn’t seem to the work. Anyone have any advice?

Great video

It would be very useful also to see a tutorial for mixing and mastering

when i switch my recorded track into the left and right tracks my amp effect is gone and it’s just playing the interface input can u please tell me why

go get yourself a razer mamba mouse 2 and assign the 2 left thumb buttons on the mouse, to your Right side Shift and Control buttons on the keyboard.... Right shift key allows you to slice audio in the playlist, and right control key allows you to lasso grab in the playlist.... its the most natural feeling and handy shortcut ive ever came up with (esp considering half the time i got a guitar in my lap and my left hand is usually holding it, so the other hand and being botherthed with pressing the keyboard just to make a quick edit can be a PITA) thank me later if you ever get to giving it a try. You wont go back to a standard mouse ever once you do.

To muck talking

It's one of the most useful vids i've ever seen about recording heavy music in fl. Thanks a lot!

Great job sir! I subscribed as soon as I saw the word Metal! This is the perfect example of why FL is a very complete and powerful multi-genre DAW! All it takes is time and imagination with ANY DAW! So many people instantly discredit FL Studio simply because of...okay...I'll be nice....SONIC STEREOTYPE PROFILING...how's that! Mr. Keyan even got props from Image-Line themselves! They were probably like..."Finally, someone gets that we're a DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION!" I personally remember purchasing Fruity Loops when it first came out on CD. Got home...opened the box...inserted it in my briefcase-sized Fujitsu laptop thinking I was gonna be the next Quincy Jones, and it all looked like prehistoric hieroglyphics. I left it alone. I'm much older now. A week ago I went to FL's website. "The fastest way from your brain to your speakers." I got the 21 Producers Edition. All the tools are there....and I get it! Peace and Love!

This is great content, subscribed :)

If you don't mind, can I ask: when recording guitars this way, how do you manage latency? I tried this 12 years ago and for me with cheap equipment was hard (and frustrating) to monitor what I was playing. Do you use specific hardware? Or do you have a video on how to setup the actual home studio? Thanks you

Since FL 21 came out. Are you going to revisit this video?

”Cool!”

Please help, In kontakt, when i click ond the drop downs to assign the outputs I only get default and st. 1. even thought I created all the others..

Bro this is really helpfull thank you for sharing your experiences. I have a question tho.. If I wanted to record a vocal, where ahould I route that channel?

Thanks again!

amazing tutorial thank you <3

perfect...

How do you change the metronome click pattern for non 4/4 time signatures? I use FL for my synths and stuff but do all audio recording elsewhere because I feel like editing audio and doing small punch ins would be a hassle in FL, but it would be convenient to do everything in FL instead of two different programs.

All but one of my creator friends think I'm absolutely insane for making metal in FL. It's all I've been using since 9 (when I was in the 9th grade too lol) and I love how chaotic I can be with my silly writing process

Good watch - Cheers from Victoria!

Thank you so much for this!

hello, how do you make the plugins not make noise? I have a noise gate pedal, but the plugins make noise. Thank you.

Please reduce the plossive on your vocals man.

Awesome !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙏

Is it recommended to route Superior Drummer 3 to the mixing board?

It seems to have its own pre selected bus setup to which I give its own master in my FL mixer.

I tend to sequence midi and handle mixing on the SD3 plugin itself.

Not sure if it's optimal.

You're a fcking god man!

This video was exactly what I needed. I was having trouble getting clean mixes and I also use FL studio 20. Very helpful and informative! please, keep doing more mixing and recording tutorials!

OMG DUDE THAT

"S WHAT i AM TALK''S WHAT i aammmmmmmmmmm TALKING ABOUT MARYLAND HEHRAREEEE!!!! i KNOW FL STUDIO WAS MEANT MORE THAN THAT HIP HOP TRASH@@@!!!!

Thans for this, in depth tut. Just getting started with FL so much appreciated. Subbed

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you my friend, I have learned quite a bit from this.

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for making this video!

I'm having an issue with matching the channels from kontakt to the FL mixer. For some reason i'll get the snare showing up in the same channel as the kick in the FL mixer but I they are clearly in their own channels in kontakt. And in Processing tab I have them all matched up perfectly. I don't understand why it isn't working properly. Any one els ran into this problem and found a solution?

for coloring you can just press ''control'' and drag to select multiple adjacent channels , then click right on any channel then ''change clolor'' , now select any color and it will be applied to all the channels you just selected . (excuse my bad english)

I love this. I've been meaning to record creative process videos for my own channel as well. Any non-musician I've met has no idea what the process is like and I love showing them and seeing their reactions. You've done a fine job: clear, collected, and concise.

🔥👀👀

This shit makes no sense 😫

Does FL Studio not have a native cabinet plugin?

Do you do any quantization in FL studio?

Can you mastering song bro,,, for metal if yes please repley

Pro tip- do all that drum routing to the mixer and then save it as a FL template. Fl templates are nice. Save as- template. That way you only have to it once. In fact i have a template with the exact same stuff Keyan uses, modern massive drums pre-routed to mixer, nolly nueral, and djinn bass routed as well. For writing i find this super helpful. Every session i load up with those plugins already mapped. Its easy enough to switch kontact instrumentals if im not doing a metal song.
