Hey guys in this video I am going to show you how to make rock music in FL Studio using Nexus for the instruments. So we are not going to use real instruments just vst plugins. Is it even possible? I guess so.
I try to do it all :) Thanks for watching!
And check out Splice for some great samples: bit.ly/SpliceSoundsArcade
Sorry bro the comments are funny because they're delusional, the track was total garbage.
No worries. Everybody has their own opinion. I had fun and that's the most important for me :D
i love this so much, man
@@ArcadeFL It wasn't so bad until the lead guitar. It sounds more like a keyboard than a guitar. A lot of guitar vsts have that issue where the higher notes sound like a keyboard especially those cheap toy keyboards meant for kids. Bringing it down an octave might hide that a bit.
Yeah or maybe a different sound. Either way. The melody was fun to make haha :D @@ViviSectia
Fuck... you literally created a band without a single instrument. It's insane how far music production has come... this was wicked to watch.
That riff is really sick
Happy and refreshing to see some people actually do FLS tutorials that are NOT electronic/EDM/trap and such. I firmly believe that Fl Studio, and other DAW, are not at all limited to electronic music!
I have done some basic rock and metal with FL Studio too and learned that everything is possible with lots of tweaking! (I'm still having a hard time to get a decent, thick sounding rhythm guitar tho)
You can do classical and blues and jazz pretty easily
Reminds me of old midi tracks from first person shooters of the 90s.
duke nukem as fuck
or main menu music to a really shitty ios bootleg game

The same velocity on every single note hurts so much. :,(
Siema Wiesiu lol me I was thinking the same it sounds robotic
LOL true. Natural velocity changes frequently so add in velocity changes. My music instructor once told me this aswell.
Variations are key.
This feels like a song from guitar hero..
I could see myself beating this on expert
But the songs on guitar hero are real song...
Looks like songs made in GH Mix 2.0 from Guitar Hero 5
lol the songs on guitar hero are real
1000% how they did it
This was entertaining to watch and the end result was more than decent. Get a fairly competitive songwriter who has some experience with writing Rock songs and you have a passable filler track for a Rock album! Not a bad thing considering that you merely did this for fun and experimentation.
It would be great if try to make more content with different genres, becuase there are enough videos about Hip-Hop/Trap and EDm on TH-cam. Let's make more content on Jazz, Country, Swing, Soul RnB and Acoustics Pop ?? Anyways, thanks for uploading!
Thanks a lot 🙂 I always try to mix it up with different genres and experiments 😁
Jazz and Swing would be awesome!
Ankit Sharma mmmm not so good at the end
Not country please
prog rock!!!
Okay, so the Nexus guitar doesn't make sad to hear like most synths do. They did a good job on that sound.
Yeah that pack is pretty good :)
Lengthy but hopefully insightful comment ahead:
I've been doing heavy rock with virtual instruments since 2013 and have three albums released (with a fourth one pretty near completion). It's definitely doable, but results will vary on how willing you are to mess with the instruments until they sound natural enough, and on the quality of instruments themselves. Indeed, it's possible to make acceptable-sounding rock with freely available VSTi only (which is exactly what I've been doing), but no doubt having access to Shreddage or Ample Guitar gives you an edge.
You want a guitar that at the very least can do palm mute and bends/vibrato, legato is pretty good to have as well but you can cheese it depending on your setup. Bending and vibrato can be done manually with pitch shifting; vibrato is better done with an LFO whose amplitude is linked to a MIDI CC of your choosing or something. Now, you want your guitar instrument to be clean. Then you add the amp simulation and, let's not forget, the cabinet simulation if your amp doesn't come with it, or else your guitar will sound absolutely raw. Oh, and PLEASE use a guitar with round robin support; repeated notes sound horrible otherwise (see 10:55). Bonus points if your guitar is stereo, to simulate double-tracking.
Drums are pretty straightforward, and there are great paid and free options. Just don't forget that 127 is not the only velocity setting for drums.
Bass... You got plenty of it as well. Ample Bass L is a nice free option, there are some okay-sounding soundfonts over there that can work depending on how you use it (if your song doesn't emphasize bass much you can get away with just "OK").
It's virtual, so you can add any instruments you need. Want an orchestra? You can get a complete virtual orchestra on your DAW. Additional guitars? Add as many instances you need (but beware of the mixing process). Want a kazoo? There's soundfonts for that. Needs more cowbell? Sure.
The other great thing about virtual rock is that you can do things like impossible chords or absurd drum sequences, however, it loses a lot of humanity compared to real performance, so you definitely have to compensate by composing good songs.
I just started making metal in FL Studios a few months ago. Any recommendations on good free guitar VSTs? Looking for a good beefy palm mute sound. Also any tips for doing pinches?
The guitar I use isn't available anymore on the site I found it, unfortunately. :( There's a bunch of soundfonts in Bandshed with nice sound quality, but no round-robin which hurts quite a bit. There's Junk Guitar if you have access to Kontakt, I never used it but the demos seemed good enough. Karoryfer has quite a few guitars, but since you're doing metal they might not suffice as they're always described as "good for anything but metal".
About pinches... I'll be honest, I just cheese it with a very high note + vibrato. Doesn't sound completely genuine but does its part.
@@nitroanilinmusic Thanks man, much appreciated!
Where can I find your music? I've been doing the same, i have two albums so far and I'm currently working on the third
@@johandrytenias1725 You can listen to almost everything in my channel, or my bandcamp page (nitroanilin.bandcamp.com)
What about yours?
The author's musicality is exceptional, making tunes on a fly. Just wow. Keep it up!
Drums: Superior Drummer 2
Guitar: Kontakt with Shreddage 2 - on the mixer: Guitar Rig 2
Bassguitar: Kontakt with Shreddage Bass 2 - on the mixer: Guitar Rig 2 with a nice bass cabinet
Use a Midi-keyboard with drumpad to record some realistic sounding stuff. Do some mixing and mastering. INDISTINGUISHABLE from a real band.
Don't use samples like this guy is doing, it sounds so unnatural.
Fun video though.
I don't think that's the point
The problem is that kontakt is not comparable with some pc, for example for mine, and if you wanna buy it, it will cost you good money, even if you want a pirate version, it would be hat to find exact one. But yes, kontakt is more brighter than nexus
@@irisha7798 nexus is also expensive
@@caresvlbdjz and it’s also not bad. The man who made the thing is completely independent and puts all their hard work into it! (Even still with nexus 3!)
I love it. It sounds more 90s - Early 2000s video gaming intro vibes
Yes you can, but also no. Rock music, and acoustic in general, is NEVER quantized. You will never see a drummer hitting the kick, the snare and the hat on the precise beat of the metronome, as well as a guitar, a piano ect...
If you really want to sound like real, put some ghost notes, move the notes slightly left or right and change the dynamic of every single note. this will be the closest u can get to recording real instruments ( a part of using good VST's and not nexus. i recommend realstrat for guitar and ezdrummer for drums)
@Rationalistic i play a lot of instruments. These were advices for those who don't
I wouldn't say NEVER quantized. The audio engineer may want to slightly tweak a take so that one guitar strum matches the downbeat, or move an off beat bass note in case its not worth to do a retake.
Rarely happens if the band is good enough, but sometimes measures are taken.
"but also no" but you still haven't explained a valid reason on why you can't though, everything you just said can be done digitally, i think a better criticism would be the fact that everything sounds the same without any minute differences in tone/texture, a normal person probably won't be able to tell the difference but if you listen closely im pretty sure real instruments will always sound better
he could've used superior dummer or just adjusted the velocity of each drum kick, snare & the guitar...but it wasn't THAT bad.. this is just an idea to create rock songs, not to actually create a good rock songs.
"Never quantized"
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that's definitely not true. A lot of rock music is absolutely quantized
For people like me: 10:05. Enjoy.
I can't thank you enough
For more people like you :"v👏👏👏👏
Tks

This is damn sick dude
When the drums first started I yelled "come on feel the noise, girls rock your boys "
*Plays Come as you Are* *cuts to pic of Kurt smoking* "Hell yea"
As many rock and metal fans don't want to hear it is common to program the bass and also to use drum samples to make the drum sound bigger. guitars are mostly recorded as well as vocals
but you have to check my cover. my cover sounds like a live band. i swear. you gonna like it. and i use fl studio too
@@MelodyPainterStudio it sucked. Stop telling egeryone to check ot out
@@shumailkhan7205 oke, for the last time. i hope you check my cover

...COME OOON FEEL THE NOOOOISE~
GIRLS ROCK YOUR BOYS
WE'LL GET WILD, WILD, WILD
What a classic
I'm glad I wasn't the only one lmao

I've been looking for this kind of video since I only saw people making electronic music in FL Studio. This makes me believe that FL Studio are capable to write any kind of music. Anyway, Im not an FL user but I have it in my PC. Maybe someday I would try to write some rock song with it. Thanks for this video. I enjoy it very much.
P/s Oh yes, does all the instrument you used in this video a stock VST? Thanks.
Damn son! I was about to sleep, well thanks to you now i can't 😂
Good to hear haha :D
Need a part 2 ❤
XD SAME
this is one of the best tutorials i have seen,really good job
just watched this. i love how much fun you had with this. the energy is great and this sounds amazing. jkeep up the awesomeness and the great videos. thanks you
It doesn't have to sound natural. From my POV, FL is a tool to create compositions, regardless it is playable in real life or not. As long as you can enjoy it and you think its good, its good. Except you want to be a music performer instead of composer.
This was awesome! Would love to see you create other genres.
There goes my saving up for all these fancy electric guitars, the future is here
honestly I think physical instruments have no use in producing anymore. They're just fun to learn and perform live.
damn this is so good!! "FL Start sound in the background" starting new rock track!!
Sweet! It actually turned out really good! One thing though... the lead part, especially during the fast arpeggios, sounds less like a guitar and more like your typical keytar-trying-to-be-a-guitar-substitute deal. Try softening the attack on the lead just a tiny bit, and it'll sound AMAZING!!!
my cover is sound amazing too because i use fl studio. check to cover. i think you gonna like it because my cover sounds like a live band
Am I the only one who started to sing "Cum on feel the noise" at 0:49? 😅
Hah yeah the same rhytm :D
Girls rock your boys!!!
That's what came in my mind! lol
Came in the comments to see who else thought this! Not leaving disappointed
*"_Cum_"*
4:40 "Oh shieeeet" HAHAHAH BEST REACTION
You 100% can (this is coming from a guy who done this shit for years) you most definitely can but most metal music is played with ACTUAL instruments, 100% can do this and obviously make it sound real. This was very cool to watch, keep going at it.🔥🔥🔥
So I had opened fl studio to follow this tutorial but I couldn't. This was so fun to watch. I really enjoyed that you were having fun making it too. Great video!
Not bad at all Arcade ^^
last year i tried to made a instrumental Black Metal with : Superior Drummer. Modo bass With different amps, and saturators. Guitars (lead, "solo" , Rhythm ) with MusicLab vst-s ( and also different amps and stuffs ) ( mostly with AmpliTube ) ) and made atmospheres, and pads with sampling out some church voices + dark chants.
maybe its because im a guitar player, but the bass and guitar sounds more like synthesizers to me. but thats a good thing, hope the day where you can easily replace the sound of real instruments never comes.
The drums really help to make the whole thing sound more organic which is good
Ahaha Come As You Are - Nirvana.
That's sounds great :D Hell Yeaa
Also FPC is an amazing rock drum plugin, and it comes with FL so bonus
Yeah it's pretty good too :)
So much talent what the hell
Thanks man :)
Thank you for making these I’m a upcoming producer and I’m trying to learn new styles of music and I don’t play any instruments this was very helpful
Next: How to make pop without any instruments.
So how to make pop?
L0XX, waiting for arcade for this mission to get accomplished.
How else is pop made lmao
Its when you poop, without an "o"; thus pop is made.
i don't think that's possible.... unless your record some ambiance and sing over it lol
the end result is SO GOOD! I Literally Danced! Do a tutorial on Ambient and dark Music Next.
Very nicely done! Sounds awesome!
2:02 literally the riff comes up to my head everytime I think of a bassline
4:08 one of the best parts, i like the sound of unamped muted powerchords 🔥🔥
Where can i find the guitar plugins you've used in this video? please help me
Nice sounding song man. Couple of things that I think could improve it though. Most people add vibrato or bend to long notes on guitar. Also if you want to pay attention to details you could reduce attack on some notes on arpegio since usually arpeggios are sweeped, pulled off and hammered on and that makes them a bit softer than regular picking. Also if you add tiniest bit of timing and amplitude fluctuation in general it would sound more like real players since nobody is exact. Lyrics would be nice too.
I feel he added a bend and a vibration at
8:30
but how he did it
Ouuuu yeeaaaa! This is really cool! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for this video!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽 I totally needed this. Diamond in the rough video 🔥
You rockstar💥🔥
This sounds like a real set of instruments. 11/10. I predicted in 2017 that a rock song can be made entirely on a computer and sound realistic by 2020. This one does just that.
Love you Arcade.
Very awesome, man!
‘“Let’s Leave that in”’ - Arcade 2k18
Man this rocks you should released this, this is fire 🔥
Dammmnn. The best I have seen till now..
This is so sick man! I love it❤️😂😍
What expansion is that? I need those guitars
Same like I just got fl studio, so I have no idea how to play instruments
Damn! That was so good dude
Awesome Arcade 🙏
I love how "sk8r boi" is the idea of a teen song when it came out twelve years ago :'D
0:49 Hannah Montana INTROOOOO🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude this was fcking awesome, love it how much you can do with such a program!
Very good actually
Thanks man! It was a lot of fun to make :D
OH FUCK, SHIT, THIS IS LIIIIIIT!!!! I was litterally dancing in my chair
That's AMAZING ! I wish I had this expansion for Nexus :)
torrent
Made my day man!!!🙏
how did you get those guitars?
are these guitars stock with Nexus? thanks bro and subbed!
Is there any option to like this video million times? Cause I learned what I ever wanted 😅
Loved it❤
that end track was awesome lmao
HELLYEAH MAN that was pretty cool! I am just starting with music, but I do electronic. I have only 2 tracks but nothing new since months, you kind of reignited the thing on me with that, I will definitely try some rock too, after all I grew up listening to it!
The guitar solo sounds like my old ZX Spectrum loading tape :-D
Everything sounds great except the solo guitar which sounds more like a violin to meme haha, great vid as always
1:28 Was that a villager from Minecraft?
What the fuck are you talkin about
that sounds like a windows sound
@@TheFreekill17 You gotta listen carefully.
"I think" HAHAHAHA
It's the USB disconnected sound from Windows Vista/7 I think
Damn that video editing was so entertaining =D
I really got hyped at the arpeggio part and the rest from that on !
How about a miami bass track style video ?
Keep on, enjoy your content really much =)
From where do I get the extension pack of Nexus. Plz help me. I can't find it. Plz reply.
I’ve got KOMPLETE 13 ultimate and it’s guitars and stuff are awesome
That’s sick. I love this sm
those guitars sound so good
This ended up sounding much better than I thought... That Nexus pack is a must buy!
4:24-4:45 thats why I like making music
i got an “output : arcade” ad while watching arcade
This is probably my favorite tutorial video for any thing ever
sounds dope, gave me some neat ideas
This drum kit is sooooo fire
Your video was clean and perfect..
Hey man. I don't know if youre a guitarist or not, but how do you adjust how much palm mute is used in the song? In other words, the guitar in the intro sounded slightly muted/muffled, but when the drums came in, there was no muffled sound to the guitar. How did you do that? That's something I've been DYING to learn how to do with VSTs/DAWS
Super late, but I’ll leave this response just in case anyone comes across this:
Notice how at 4:34 he adjusts the velocity of each note at the bottom of the piano roll. When he raises it to the max, the guitar loses its muted sound. I guess in Nexus specifically, with the guitar presets, the level of palm mute is based on the velocity you set for each note. Hope this helps!
This is soooooo cool!
Really sick! Maybe ill try to make some death metal riffs in FL :)
Would be crazy :D
dude i was thinking the same lol
Ok regard
Real nice. Didnt expect nexus to have good guitars. They sound real.
What about Future Garage?
What do you think about this, Arcade?
Sooo cool!🤘❤🔥
This is cool man
You rock man !
If you buy the plugin "Hardcore" by Image-Line themselves, or "Guitar Rig 5" by Native Instruments, yes you can.
Beautiful 😻
you are killing on it !!!
hi bro, can you tell me where you get presets for the guitar?
Awesome 🤘🤘🤘
