FL Studio Tutorial: Building Risers & Hard Kicks (Up + Down Energy)
Sound design isn’t about piling on plugins — it’s about control and intent.
In this new video, I break down how I approach risers (up & down) and kick design inside FL Studio, focusing on movement, tension, and impact rather than gimmicks.
This tutorial is aimed at producers working in hard dance, gabber, hardcore, hardstyle, and EDM-adjacent styles, but the techniques apply to any genre that relies on drops and transitions.
What’s covered in this video:
How to design upward risers that actually build tension
Using downward risers to signal impact and release
Layering and shaping kicks so they cut through the mix
Simple automation techniques that add motion without clutter
Workflow tips you can reuse in real projects — just practical methods you can adapt to your own sound.
Watch the video here:
If you’re producing high-energy tracks and your drops feel flat, this will help tighten things up and give your transitions more weight.
