During the video, Budin demonstrates how you can turn a simple bass line loop into a finished track. Using FL’s stamp feature he shows how you can easily transform notes into euphoric chord progressions and form the framework of your beat. The Ozzie producer makes a future bass super saw patch in Serum to level up the epic-ness before adding hats and snares to turn his chords into a euphoric build. He reveals some great tips on how to make your drop punch as hard as possible by cutting out various elements and then demonstrates how to make your own signature rises and build effects in FL Studio using the DAW’s 3X OSC.
