How To SouthSide (Hard Trap) From Scratch Using Only Stock FL Studio Plugins

southside stock plugins only May 12, 2022

It’s safe to say that Southside revolutionized trap beat making. He is a pioneer in so many ways.

 

He birthed the careers of tops acts like Waka Flocka and Gucci Mane with his signature dark trap beats. And he even started his own label with 808mafia.

 

I’m constantly studying every aspect of Southside and his approach, especially the way he makes beats.

 

In today’s video, I cover a new work flow I developed to implement Southside techniques into my beats .

 

Three things you’ll learn from this video are:

 

  1. How Southside makes creative melodies that sound dark and trippy 
  2. The correct melodic sounds to use when aiming for the Southside vibe.
  3. The best way to program insanely hard 808mafia style drums

 

Go here to start learning how to use these skills in your own beat making!
