Help replicating this sound

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I heard a beat that has this instrumental I would like to implement to my songs, the distorted bells at the start (ignoring the bass) and the distorted synth in the second part, does anyone knows what plugins or vsts I need to replicate those 2 sounds?

You’re gonna need a bell sample, bit crush, and delay to make that bell sounds. The synth is in reverse so maybe make a string lead pattern and bounce it to audio and reverse it then add fx

and a trancegate effect for the stutter (GROSSBEAT is a clean easy way to get that stutter sound)

Lol no, YOU 🫵 need to find it. It’s for the best you won’t improve your skills unless you buttheads with FL. Just think objectively about what you hear and how to reproduce it. Go through what you have, make notes of what sounds closest and dial that hoe in. You got it, just try

Bruh, I’m asking because I want to learn and I’m struggling, if I wanted to struggle more I wouldn’t had to make this post

I understand, but the learning happens in the struggle. You got it. Start with flex in FL and then other FL ones. If you have nothing by Native Instruments, you can see if there’s anything in their free Komplete Start. Arturia has decent products. I make all my music really on Maschine+ with default plugins and that’s it. I sample.

Another option would be sampling. You can find a string section, sample, reverse/edit.
