Making a SMOOTH trap beat like LAUGH NOW CRY LATER by DRAKE x LIL DURK | Fl Studio 20

So today I'm gonna be making a beat inspired by Drake's Laugh Now Cry Later feat Lil Durk. I'm gonna be using horn samples, gonna be using punchy drums, you know, get that feeling right. And let's do this. So first I'm gonna open up some horn sounds to get the right sound down. I'm gonna be using BBC Symphony Orchestra plugin by Spitfire Audio. Really nice plugin. I think I got this for free because they had like a campaign or something. But I think it's like 30 bucks normally. So let's start by building up the chords. So now I'm happy with the main melody and now I'm just gonna add some to the background. Not like this but let me just get the chords down. And now I'm gonna add a bass line. Now I'm gonna add a counter melody on top because this is too repetitive now. I need to add something to make it more interesting. And I'm gonna tuck this in the background because I don't want this to be the main focus. I just want to add some variation. And now I'm gonna mix this. I'm gonna mix this a bit more. I'm gonna add like a low pass because the melodies in the actual song are low pass. They don't have a lot of high frequencies. So I'm gonna do that. For the sub I'm gonna cut the low frequencies and just have the low mids in there. Yeah so I'm happy with this melody here. Now I'm just gonna add some drums on top. So yeah that was the beat. Just like the beat in the actual song. It's really simple. It's just smooth. Something to fit Drake's vocals and Lil Durk's vocals. And yeah now I'm gonna mix this and then I'll see you then. So yeah that's the beat. Mixed, arranged, all that. Really simple beat. It's actually really fun to make something a bit different this time. I've been making a virtual Lil Uzi Vert type beats and emotional stuff. So something like this. This is like emotional but it's really different with the horns and this smooth low pass melodies. And yeah it's just really refreshing to make something like this. But I hope you learned something. I hope this was a fun video to watch and hopefully you enjoyed it.
