I was thinking lately when I was listening to various beats so I can compare with my progress...I noticed how beats can be separated into main sections. They can be divided on beats created by Fruity loops musicians and real instrument musicians.I'm not trying to offend someone, I'm just trying to explain what I've noticed. I'm playing all kinds of instruments for a really long time with equal respect for every genre while trying to figure out a way how it was done in the beginning. That way I learned to understand music on a deep level so now I got no problems to express anything I got in my head. From that perspective, I noticed how there are those different style beats and automatically figured out it is because they don't play any instrument and they just don't know how to set up good and rich song melody and then they are using samples hard to fill their beats with sound to be ready for sale. As I've said before I'm not trying to offend anyone, that was just my benevolent perception.

What is worth mentioning about this theme is how to combine those two different styles to make something really unique and that is to use real instruments while making beats in sense of sampling short guitar or bass loops. I am quite sure that those people who already play some instrument already knows how to record their instruments in Fl studio so I won't talk how it's been done. I will try to point power of this creating process. You don' need to be guitar or piano or bass virtuous,only thing needed is ability to express your idea to fill the song way you want.I'm in music for a long time and believe me when I said to you that you will never be able to express yourself that precisely how you can by playing real instrument.
You wanna real challenge in life? Pick one instrument, use your will and focus to learn to play it and as times goes on try to implement that knowledge for getting at least the main melody in the song. Try to learn basics of bass guitar and with the acquired knowledge you will find much easier to do exactly what you want, believe me on that.
One more way is to use the processor as effect machine to get first input 50% already mastered. Let's say you pick delay effect on guitar processor before anything and you got in front of you just dum beat followed with a simple bass loop. What you can do with chosen effects on guitar is to get the one brand new perspective from where you can start digging your perfect melody for your song. You can use instruments to fill empty spaces just the way you wanted without thinking or browsing numerous impact or intro samples in program or online.
I recently stumbled upon some guy on youtube explaining how to create some particular trap style beat and somewhere in the middle of the video, he starts to record his own guitar slide on the thinnest string and soon puts some effects....miracle!!!Nobody can ever tell that this was ever guitar before! He just deformed that slide in a good way to achieve what he had on his mind and he finished the tutorial and his song very fast and efficient...just think about possibilities with the real instrument in your hands and you will be a step closer to understanding what I'm talking about. So long for now ;)
