In addition, I am going to add a bass line to give it some context.Īt this point you can use whatever you want for a sound source but I recommend something at a high BPM and not an audio loop. After that I will drag my pattern out for 8 bars in a piano roll and set my tempo to 180. Drum n Bass usually floats around 170-190 BPM and is perfect for our purposes. To really show this effect off I am going to use an instance of Drumaxx and create beat by using a prebuilt pattern in the Drum n Bass genre. With all that in mind, let us begin!īefore we can start the slow down we will need something we can slow down first. If your using another DAW, check to see if you have a master pitch or tempo you can automate in your DAW. In the digital realm these is no record we can put our hands on, but we can automate a slider or two to get the same effect.

Soon DJs would emulate this at a club as an effect. This effect first came from records that would slow down as they came to an end and caused a drop in pitch and speed. In this tutorial we are going to cover how to use FL Studio's master pitch and tempo tools to create a massive slow down you'll hear at the end of some songs.
