Music · FL Studio · Lesson 11
Make a First Beat
Put a kick on four steady beats and play it as a loop.
One idea
Plain-language explanation
A pattern is a small repeating musical tile. Put one kick drum on each of four beats. This gives you a floor to build on. One clean loop is a real beginning, not “nothing yet.”
Do this now
Three tiny steps
- Choose a kick sound in the Browser.
- Place it on beats 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the Channel Rack.
- Press play and listen for four even thumps.
Two-minute practice
Try it yourself
Make four even kick hits. Then add one clap on beat 2 and one clap on beat 4 if you want a next tiny step.
