Eliminating White Noise in High Hats using FL Studio

For those using FL Studio, unwanted white noise in your high hats can put a damper on your music's overall quality. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of eliminating white noise from your high hats to produce a crisp, clean sound.

1. Identify the Source of White Noise: First, identify if the white noise is coming from the sample, plugin, or recording. Solo your high hat track and carefully listen for white noise issues.

   
   



2. Use a High-Quality Sample: If the white noise is originating from the sample you're using, consider replacing it with a higher-quality, noise-free sample.

   
   



3. EQ your High Hat: If you're using a plugin, try using an equalizer (EQ) to eliminate frequencies responsible for white noise. In FL Studio, add Fruity Parametric EQ 2 to the mixer channel. Isolate and remove the band responsible for the white noise, typically found in the higher frequency range.

   
   

1. Utilize Noise Reduction Plugins: If the issue persists, consider using a noise reduction plugin, such as Noise Gate in FL Studio or other third-party plugins like iZotope RX or Waves X-Noise, to minimize the unwanted noise.

   
   



2. Improve your Recording Environment: If you're recording your high hats, ensure your recording environment is free from any interference. Use proper microphone positioning, and consider investing in a higher-quality microphone or audio interface to reduce noise.
