Avicii Sample Packs & Libraries: Sources and FL Studio Ideas

Looking for an Avicii sample pack? Separate three things: a library visible in a session, a community attribution, and a modern pack inspired by his sound. They answer different questions.

This guide points you toward the source material and a practical way to use what you learn. It is not a complete inventory of Avicii's studio or a promise that buying a particular pack reproduces a record.

Start with the studio footage

MusicRadar's The Making of Dancing In My Head shows Avicii building a remix in FL Studio. Watch the project context as well as individual plugin windows.

The following are review points referenced by this guide's earlier research. Use the direct links to inspect the footage yourself; the table does not certify every library attribution.

A visible folder is a useful lead. A sound heard in one session is stronger evidence of use in that session. Neither supports sweeping claims about the artist's entire workflow.

Sample libraries worth investigating

Mutekki Media — Ultimate Beats

The MUB1 and MUB2 attribution connects the browser reference to Ultimate Beats volumes 1 and 2. Check the footage and the attribution together before treating it as settled. Folder names alone do not tell us how a sample was edited or which finished release contains it.

Audiobro — LA Scoring Strings

This is an orchestral-library lead associated with the instrument view above. Keep the distinction between the library and Kontakt, the software that hosts it. Even when an instrument is identified correctly, arrangement, voicing and dynamics still determine its role in a track.

Hookkick, Vengeance and Thomas Penton claims

These names appeared in the previous article through community research. Until a specific sample, image or primary source supports a claim, treat it as a lead to investigate. Similar naming conventions or widespread use among contemporary producers do not prove an individual artist used a pack.

The Equipboard inventory is a useful community index for locating references. Follow through to the original evidence rather than treating the listing itself as a complete studio record.

Instruments are a different part of the sound

Nexus, Kontakt and Sylenth1 belong in a software discussion, not an undifferentiated list of drum packs. Track which instrument, library or preset a source actually identifies. Do not infer an exact patch from a plugin name.

Correction: Ultrabeat belongs to Logic Pro, as documented in Apple's instrument guide. It is not an FL Studio stock sampler. The earlier claim here was incorrect.

Try the idea in FL Studio

Use an original four- or eight-bar phrase and sounds you already own. This exercise is about listening decisions; it does not claim to reproduce Avicii's settings.

1. Start with one piano. Keep the melody understandable without drums. If the phrase does not work yet, revise it before layering.
2. Add one supporting layer. Try a quiet sustained chord sound beneath the piano. Leave the main attack clear.
3. Bring in a kick and bass. Compare the groove with the melodic phrase. Shorten or remove notes that compete instead of immediately adding processing.
4. Create contrast. Save a sparse version, then a fuller version with the supporting layer. Keep the same melody and section length.
5. Compare at similar loudness. If the fuller version hides the piano, reduce or remove the added layer. More layers are not automatically an improvement.

For note-by-note exercises, continue with The Nights chord progression or the Levels FL Studio guide. Keep each experiment in a separate project version so you can return to the simplest one.

Hear my interpretation

My Lord (All My Life) cover and tribute remix is a finished listening example from Livvux. Listen for the relationship between melody, supporting layers and changes in energy. It is an independent tribute, not evidence of Avicii's original sample choices or a demonstration of the exact exercise above.

Updated September 9, 2026. Removed the claim of a complete verified inventory, corrected Ultrabeat, and separated research leads from production exercises. Studio sightings do not establish the frequency of use or an exact recipe for a finished record.
