Hear it
The best 30 seconds of each one.
Choose your chain
Both record and mix the way I do: same routing, same colors, same moves. The Ultimate has my exact plugins and their sound; the Stock gets you there with what FL Studio already has.
My chain with FL Studio's own plugins and one free tuner. Nothing else to buy if you have FL Studio Producer.
My exact chain: every pro plugin in it, every setting saved.
Saved with Pro-Q 3, soothe2, the CL 1B Mk I and Ozone 11. Have the newer one? Load it in the same slot and copy my settings from the Deep Dive. Prices: the makers and Plugin Boutique, 30–31 October 2026, regular.
The mirror
The Studio Rack: a Neumann U 87 Ai, a Neve 1073 and a Tube-Tech CL 1B, ≈ $10k together, plus of plugins behind them. $13k+ before the room. Or one template on your laptop.

Inside the download
Both open here, on any device you sign in on. Preview the free part of each.
How I use it
Red slots on. Record around −20 to −18 dBFS and punch in line by line, Atlanta style.
Purple slots on. Set the four returns, duck the beat when the song needs room, automate the intro and outro moments.
SSL glue, two limiters, and the guide tells you how to keep true peaks under −1 dB before you export. Loud, not squashed.
Proof
Years of work, only now going public. So there's nobody else to quote yet, and I won't fake it. I record my songs through this chain. Here's my TikTok.
Questions
You pay through Polar, which handles the checkout, the taxes and the receipt. Right after paying, both guides open on this page, on the device you paid from. The FL Studio template downloads right there too, and comes by email from Polar with the receipt. From then on you sign in anywhere with the email you paid with: you get a one-tap link and a 6-digit code, and you stay signed in on each device.
All your own: sign in with your purchase email on your phone, your laptop, the studio PC. The template is a file: copy it to every FL Studio you own.
Yes. One payment, no subscription.
FL Studio 21.1 or newer, Producer Edition or higher. The Fruity Edition can't record audio.
No. FL skips any plugin you don't have, and both guides name a cheaper, stock or free swap for every slot. Or start with the Stock chain: only FL Studio Producer and one free tuner.
Load yours in the same slot and copy my settings from the Deep Dive. Versions don't matter; your ears do.
Any mic. The interface matters more. My rule: at least an SSL 2 or SSL 2+, or an Apollo.

What you get
Both guides open here, on any device you sign in on. The FL Studio templates come as files: by email from Polar, and the Ultimate's right here too. The Ultimate is all of it; the Stock is its template and the Quick Stock guide.
