You can also save the presets in the directory that your computer stores your stock mixer presets in. You can also navigate via directory to the kit folder when you File>Open on your mixer track.

Preset List

  • Guitar CONVOLVER 2024 2.fst
  • NEW CONVOLVER 2024.fst
    • Used for convolution on melody buses. See ‘Guitar CONVOLVER 2024.fst’ for workflow.
    • Helpful tutorials:
      • See ‘Guitar CONVOLVER 2024.fst
    • Required VSTs: Stock FL Studio 🥭
  • 2024 MELODY BUS
    • Used for clean powerful brightness on my melody buses. It’s good to tweak the mix knob on the exciter console to adjust the brightness, as it can be harsh depending on the artifacts on your melodies.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Neutron 4 💸
  • Perfectly Cooked Jazz 808.fst
    • 4TEEN V3 has a jazz 808 that sounds dope but is sometimes harsh on the high end. This helps with that.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Neutron 4 Equalizer 💸
  • Cooked Snare
    • Used for making my snares more powerful.
    • Helpful tutorials: N/A
    • Required VSTs: Radiator 💸
  • NEW CONVOLVER 2024 1
    • Used for convolution on melody buses. See ‘Guitar CONVOLVER 2024.fst’ for workflow.
    • Helpful tutorials:
      • See ‘Guitar CONVOLVER 2024.fst
    • Required VSTs: Stock FL Studio 🥭
  • Frank Dukes Synth Sub Bus.fst (see Frank Dukes Synth Sub Bus FREE VSTs ONLY)
    • Used to achieve a vintage 60s/70s synth texture on my synth lead melodies. Best used on a track that consolidates your lead melody. Then route that lead consolidation to your main melody bus. So this is a sort of ‘sub bus’.
    • Helpful tutorials:
      • Not a tutorial, but this lead melody in this cook up sounds insane, and I think it’s because I used this preset: https://youtu.be/1UROdR4Mwis
    • Required VSTs: IVGI2, MJUCjr, RC-20 Retro Color 💸
  • Frank Dukes Synth Sub Bus FREE/Stock VSTs ONLY [🆓]
    • A Free VST only version of ‘Frank Dukes Synth Sub Bus.’ Retro Color is replaced by Origin by Cymatics. ‘Frank Dukes Synth Sub Bus’ for workflow, helpful tutorials, and other required VSTs. IVGI2 and MJUCjr are free.
  • Portal Send Routed To Melody Bus.fst
  • Outer Space Portalizer.fst
  • Triple Routed Carti Slatt
    • Used for true thickness on my short 808s. Call ‘triple routed’ because I use this preset and then route the 808 track to the master, drum bus, and a parallel compression send (see “808 Stereo Send.fst”). The exact workflow requires a bit of gain staging to pull off, but the results are awesome. Still, this works really well just for adding fatness to 808s and bass.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Neutron 4, Radiator 💸
  • Dynamic Melody Compression.fst
  • Low Melody Doubling 1.fst
  • Low Vox Double.fst
  • Drum Room Verb.fst
  • Tired Ready 808.fst
    • Used for cutting down warmth on my 808s. Use the Low Pass to tame the high end until your track sounds balanced.
    • Helpful tutorials: Neutron 4
    • Required VSTs: Neutron 4 💸
  • 808 Stereo Send.fst
    • Used for stereo width on my bass and 808. Used as a send. I route my 808 and bass directly to this track (but they stay routed to the drum bus as well). If you don’t do signal flow, you can just route the 808 or bass directly to this track.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Neutron 4, Ozone 9 Spectral Shaper 💸
  • TR5 Master Stack 1.fst
  • TR5 Master Stack 2.fst
    • Used for loudness on the master.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Tonal Balance 2, Neutron 4, TR5 Classic Clipper 💸
  • The Basic Stack 1.fst
    • Used for equalization and stereo width on melodies. A stock plug-ins version of basic stack 2.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Stock FL Studio 🥭
  • The Basic Stack 2.fst
  • Drum Bus.fst
  • God's Zpins.fst
    • I use this on my spinz 808 to completely squeeze out their dynamic range. That’s not something I tend to do, but in certain cases it allows to to really ‘rip’ that spinz against the ceiling for some pretty nice sound artifacts.
    • Helpful tutorials:
    • Required VSTs: Neutron 4
  • CONVOLVER SEND 1.fst
  • MELODY BUS NEUTRON 4.fst
