This article will show you how to add drum kits and loop kits to FL Studio 20. It's a pretty simple process that lets you use all your favorite sounds in your music. We'll go through the steps so you can get your kits loaded up and start making beats right away.

Getting Your Kits into FL Studio

Adding your drum and loop kits to FL Studio is not hard at all. You just need to tell FL Studio where to find them on your computer. Once you do that, they'll show up in your browser, ready for you to use.

To start, open FL Studio. Then, you'll go into the settings to point the program to your kit folders. This is where the magic happens, making your new sounds available inside the software.

Step-by-Step Guide

Here's how to get your kits loaded up:

1. Open File Settings: Go to Options at the top of FL Studio, then click on File settings.
2. Add a Search Folder: In the File settings window, look for Browser extra search folders. You'll see a folder icon there. Click on it.
3. Locate Your Kit: A new window will pop up. This is where you'll find the folder containing your drum kit or loop kit. Navigate to where you saved it on your computer.
4. Select the Folder: Once you've found the folder with your kit, click on it to select it. Then, click Select Folder.
5. Close Settings: You can now close the File settings window.

Key Takeaways

• The Browser extra search folders option is where you add new locations for FL Studio to look for sounds.
• Always select the folder that contains your kit, not individual files within it.
• After adding, your kits will appear in the FL Studio browser.

Using Your New Kits

Once you've added your kits, they're ready to be used in your projects. You'll find them in the browser section of FL Studio. This is where all your sounds, samples, and loops are organized.

To open the browser, look for the browser icon at the top right of FL Studio. It usually looks like a folder or a list. Click it to open the browser panel.

Finding and Dragging Your Sounds

1. Open the Browser: Click the browser icon to open the browser panel on the left side of your screen.
2. Collapse Folders: If you have a lot of folders open, you can click the small arrow or icon that collapses all folders. This makes it easier to find your new kit.
3. Locate Your Kit: Your newly added kit folder should now be visible in the browser. It will have the name of the folder you selected earlier.
4. Drag and Drop: Click on a sound or loop within your kit folder and drag it directly into your project's playlist or piano roll. It's that simple!

Now you know how to get your drum and loop kits into FL Studio 20. This process lets you expand your sound library and use all the great kits you find. Happy beat making!
