Just a few stock plugins, some clever ADSR envelope manipulation, and a relatively simple workflow allowed us to do all of the processing that we needed to do. That said, here are a few additional free or stock plugins that may be worth exploring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fruity Squeeze<\/strong> is s a bit-reducing distortion and filtering plugin. This tool can be very handy for adding more grit and bit reduction to your lo-fi drums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/plugins\/1847-vinyl-vst-au-by-izotope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>iZotope\u2019s Vinyl<\/strong><\/a> is a free plugin that&#8217;s great for making lo-fi hip hop, especially when used on drums and keys. Typically, I like to drop an instance of it on my drum group bus in order to help \u201cglue\u201d the drums together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FL Studio\u2019s Transient Processor<\/strong> (note: only available in the All Plugins Bundle) is a very useful tool for adding more snap and punch to your drums. Using this plugin on individual drum channels (or drum groups) can help your drums cut through the mix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any plugins or processing tricks that you use to create your own lo-fi drums?
