How to Set Up a Realistic Sounding Drum Kit in Fruity Loops 9

FL Studio 9 (formerly called FruityLoops) is a digital audio workstation used to create music. Developed by Image-Line, the application allows users to create, edit, mix, record, and master audio. FL Studio 9 includes several virtual instruments for people to use, including a drumkit. Called the FPC, the instrument supports realistic drum sounds for producers to place within their compositions. Setting up a realistic sounding drum kit using FPC requires a few simple steps.
