This is a copy/paste from my thread as I didn't notice there was a FL thread.

"Heya. Whenever I make a beat on Fruity Loops, are there any other ways to make it sounds a little bit more proffesional like adding any parametric effects and other fancy materials? I've seen other people using Pro Tools and other softwares to enhance the sounds. Any Fruity Loops or beatmakers here? Can you give me some details of what you do whenever you make some beats?

Thanks a lot and best regards. Peace"

Hey man, welcome to the forum. Your question is a little general; if you could ask a little more specific questions I could give you a little more specific answers ...

Anways, the process that you seem to be referring to is actually two processes; mixing and mastering (done in that order). Mixing involves using effects like EQ, Compression (for effect, such as to make a kick drum sound bigger), and Reverb to enhance your tracks, alongside volume sliders to get the audio to balance just right. And whereas mixing is often done (at least in part) by the producer, mastering is often done by a professional that you would hire. Mastering is just that - perfecting an otherwise finished track, and usually involves bringing your track up to industry standards (albums have gotten percievably louder over the years, and you want to make sure yours falls within today's standards). Mastering involves slight eq changes, as well as compressing the track's dynamics just right, and maybe using a limiter.

FL really has all the plug-ins you need to get started on this ... I'm guessing you're still pretty new in the production game, so I'd recommend messing around with FL's effects for a while; you don't need to mess with anything like Pro Tools until you really know what you're doing.

 Thanks for answering and thanks for the welcome. And I really apologize for the late respond, I forgot I have posted on this thread. Apologize for it man. 

 Let me go into specific details. 

I am an oldschool type of guy, and I want to make kicks and snares like this song for example:

My guess is that I think it has something to do with obtaining those kinds of drums and snares, or I can change it with the parametric and reverb effects. 

Do you have any plugins you can recommend me? Really appreicates. And thanks. Peace

another thing you could do is check your processes and stop everything you dont absolutely need. something may be interferingstarwarsjunky

I'm not an expert but I'd never heard of nimo. Maybe you could try uninstalling that and just use K-Lite - I've never had any problems with that.jimmyjammer69
