Sampling involves taking a section of an audio recording and reusing it in a new musical context.

Quantization aligns the timing of musical notes to a specific grid, creating a consistent and rhythmic pattern.

Layering involves stacking multiple sounds or samples on top of each other to create a richer and more complex sound.

FL Studio is a popular digital audio workstation (DAW) specifically designed for beatmaking and electronic music production.

Mixing involves adjusting the volume levels, panning, and other effects of individual tracks to create a balanced and cohesive overall sound.

Drum breaks are short rhythmic sections of a drum recording, often used as the foundation for hip-hop beats.

Effects processing involves applying various effects to a sound to alter its timbre, dynamics, and spatial characteristics.

Swing involves intentionally shifting the timing of certain notes slightly off the grid, creating a more relaxed and organic feel.

Mastering involves optimizing the overall sound quality of a mix, including adjusting levels, EQ, and dynamics, to ensure it sounds consistent across different playback systems.

Synthesizer samples are electronic sounds created using synthesizers, commonly used in EDM to create melodies, leads, and basslines.

Beatmaking involves programming and arranging drum sounds to create rhythmic patterns, often serving as the foundation for a musical composition.

Orchestral samples are recordings of classical instruments, often used in jazz music to create lush and sophisticated soundscapes.

EQing (equalization) involves adjusting the gain of specific frequency bands to shape the overall tonal balance of a sound.

Build-ups involve gradually increasing the intensity and energy of a beat or track, creating anticipation before a drop or climax.

Compression reduces the difference between the loudest and softest parts of a sound, creating a more consistent and controlled level.
