    Hey everyone, I'm back from the dead! Finally got a hold of a new pc, so I can finally get back to making videos again! It's been a minute since I've used flight studio, I'm currently in the process of brushing up on the program. If you have ideas for the next tutorial, I'd love to hear them. I think I may focus on live instrument recording with flowers studio next, what do you think?
    In my off time I'm usually busy working with Open Sign Productions and horror hive making awesome videos, like our let's slay series. Check out one of my favorite episode, Queitly Sharting LETS SLAY- OUTLAST - Part 6 - Quietly Sharting :-/: ua-cam.com/video/t7XZ9CwMjSE/v-deo.html

    How do I make nuances in the beat without starting a whole new pattern? What if I wanted a long keyboard solo that is not a pattern? Basically, can I edit parts of the song in play list mode??!?!??

    I've been watching other, more complex tutorial videos, and they just make my eyes glaze over. I have no clue what they're talking about. Thanks for doing just a short lesson with concrete examples. Before watching this, I didn't even know where to begin, but now I know how to start making compositions a reality.

  • @JamieToal

  • @DrShankums

    I still get surprised at how many views and comments I find on this video. I have decided the direction of the series I would like to start. I'll be needing to build a new pc and get a few pieces of equipment together before I can start, but ill be going in depth into music theory and how to create your own original music and how to apply that knowledge to fl studio. Please continue learning on your own if it really interested you. I have every intention of making content, I just have to find the time and funds to get back to it. I hope to have more videos started in the coming months. I appreciate everyone patience.

    • @MrJohnny4286
      @MrJohnny4286 6 років тому +5

      I don't usually comment, but I think this one is worth it.
      The roller coaster of emotions you've put me through tho. First, I found this tutorial, and I was very surprised and delighted to see such a great tutorial. Second, my happiness was ruined when I clicked on your channel and saw that this is your only tutorial, and then finally when I scrolled down the comments to see you are still active and have plans for doing something new, anyway, that's all I wanted to say haha
      I wish you all the best with that direction of series, building your pc and getting new equipment. You have a new fan who cant wait for that series to start :)

    @JamEZmusic86 10 років тому +1

    4:40, I use the scrub wheel a lot for working out music by ear, if you have the original song in the background playing and are trying to work out the piano roll notes over the top of it, there is a lot of stopping and starting, the scrub wheel is great because it lets you stay on the piano roll screen without having to click on the playlist to check what you have done so far. Great tool for people like me.
    Nice video by the way. Easy to watch.

    My car was recently totaled, and I've been spending all my time and money dealing with the insurance company and working extra shifts to cover the costs of a new car...and new computer! I'm having major issues with my current PC, so I'll be able to resume progress of the next tutorial fairly soon. I'm no FL studio guru, but I do have pretty decent knowledge of the program. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will be trying to cover as many of the FAQs as I can.
