Chords for THAT SOUNDS FILTHY! MAKING AN EDM TRAP BEAT IN FL STUDIO!

What's up, welcome back to the channel, my name is Simon Svevita.
Let's make a beat.
So the good [B] people over at Red Sound sent me a bunch of presets for Serum.
And as someone who doesn't know synthesis, I'm all about the presets.
So they sent me a bunch of trap presets and I thought it would be fun if we did EDM trap today
because we've never done that on this channel.
And they also sent me a couple drum kits that I will use as well.
So I'm thinking we do some chord, then [Eb] build up, then a drum beat. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [Cm] Ticker. _ _ _ _
_ _ Let's tick.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ Three_ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
One, two, _ three_
We'll change it to_
_ _ _ _ _ And then we'll do a diminished chord _ _ _ down [Db] here.
[D] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C] Okay, let's get a synth bass to beef this up a bit.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [Dbm] I'm making [Gb] it sound like regular trap instead of EDM trap.
So when it actually drops, it's a bit more unexpected.
So this half is [Ab] going to be the intro and then this half is going to be the build up.
So let's work on the drums for the build up right now. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Let's do a quick beat first. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] That's so gritty. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [G] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ Oh, that's_
I like that.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ Um, how about we _ _ do_
[Ebm] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] I noticed in a lot of EDM songs, [B] they like to stack sounds on top of each other.
So let me just duplicate this melody and we'll find some more sounds for it.
A [C] pluck, something tighter.
_ _ [Ebm] _ [N] Let's see if we can layer with a perk. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Copy, paste.
And I'm going to turn up [Eb] the shift up so you can hear both of them. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [B] Now it's a bit too much, but we can just separate them into different sections.
I'm going to put this right before [Cm] the drop.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ That is fat. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ So I put some automation on the chords and the lead. _ _
[Ab] It's a lot more reverb.
_ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ And then the chord [Cm] slowly_ _
[Ab] Um, _ _ _ _ _ [G]
go down. _ _ _ _
And then for this one, we'll go up. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Eb] Okay.
We need that low pitch vocals right before the drop.
Got the [Cm] serum boy.
Okay. _ _
_ [Fm] _ I [Db] got the serum [Fm] boy.
I got the serum boy.
_ Lower. _ _
I got the serum boy.
_ _ [B] I [Cm] got the_
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ I just gotta go.
He's gotta go.
Let's [Cm] take out _ _ _ _ this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I got [D] the serum boy.
_ _ I did some automation on the vocals as well.
Some reverb and EQ.
I think _ _ _ this is too muddy with the 808.
So let's just do it with the kick and [Cm] snare. _
_ _ _ [C] _ We gotta make it more interesting.
Let's see if we can do something with the vocal.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] Maybe let's get [B] some perks.
_ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Like that.
Okay.
Let's arrange it.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [B] I [Cm] got the_
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ I got the serum [Gm] boy.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
