Your tutorials are great. Very professional and high quality videos with detailed lessons for FL Studio. Wish these videos were out sooner when I was struggling to learn the basics. Subscribed with notifications on. Waiting on your next FL Tutorial, might learn something new.
Thank you very much! :) I'm trying to put out content for the beginners first, but I will be making more advanced tutorials as soon as I have the most basic stuff in place. :)
Holy crap this is gonna make my life so much easier, i can't believe i never have looked this up earlier. So much time i could have saved. Thanks man really helpfull!
Hey Jan! You don't? How are you able to make all that awesome stuff without improvising? You do it all in your head? Wow! Thanks again! Glad you liked the video :)
@@uniusss don't know about metronome buy F5 is playlist, F6 is channel rack, etc www.image-line.com/support/flstudio_online_manual/html/basics_shortcuts.htm here are listed all the shortcuts you need
I tried doing this simply for the main volume knob on FL studio and there is no option to do that. So theres no way to be able to slide the volume up and down as I play using my keyboard? I dont understand. This is the most basic thing you can do is turn main volume up and down with a controller, I dont even need to get into a plugin or synth yet, still struggling to get basic control of the most basic things....????
Hi, I know. Some controls can't be linked and it's primarily the transport controls. You could automate the mixer master fader instead, or add the fruity balance to the master, and link it to the volume knob there. In any case, just make sure to reset this to default when you're done with the project.

If i wanted to link all mixer volume sliders to one knob on my midi, how would i make it so the correct volume slider is effected based only on the mixer i have selected, instead of every mixer slider moving at once?
In theory, yes. All though for those I think it's better to edit the CC's manually (you can find them in the browser). FL Studio has always been kind of bad with MIDI. Other daws map this stuff out for you automatically, but in FL You need to set it up for yourself. The excuse is that you're supposed to retain 100% control of the mapping. That's all good, but it really just cause annoyance for the most part.
You're welcome :) I try to upload a new video every week. Unfortunately I didn't have the time last week because I was working on a few remixes and they ended up taking up all of my time :\
At 4:48 I can hear my automation recording just fine (same as yours sounds in the tutorial), but when I stop recording the automation event doesn't actually register in the pattern....as if it wasn't recording. I followed the exact steps as you, recording automations is on, and I have the knob correctly linked to my controller. Like I said the effects sound like they are getting recorded, but aren't actually recorded once recording is stopped...why is this? It works just fine recording the automation event when I'm turning the VST knob with my mouse, but as soon as I record automation using my MIDI controller for that same knob, the automation event doesn't get recorded. I've seen numerous people on FL Studio forums also having the same problem, any ideas?
Hello. Do you know how to create a set of green notes inside the piano roll, and then have a single key from a midi controller (i.e. Akai mpk mini keyboard) activate those notes? I could not find this information online anywhere.
I'm having issues recording the automation for my Digitalis plugin I just got. I have FLEX opened up and tagged on Digitalis in the mixer fx. I assigned the corruption parameter to a fixed rotary knob and it works fine. During recording, I rotate the knob and it corrupts the signal as expected. However, once I stop recording and listen back, nothing about the automation has changed the signal at all. How can I get those effects from Digitalis to record live? Thank you, your channel has quickly become one of my favorites for tutorials
It's great that you can automate tracks' faders. But how to link buttons underneath faders on physican controller to mute/solo track in FL studio?? This could be handy...
@@orangejam what buttons did you try to map? The only ones that won't work should be transport control buttons such as play, stop, record etc. Those are usually reserved
@@FireWalkMusic I have learned that mute/solo track in FL Studio is also not possible to map. As I suppose this is because of double function: Mute and Solo. The only way to map "mute track" function is to place additional plugin with mute function and map this plugin to ON and OFF. 😧
You could make a premaster channel and route everything to it, and then you could link that mixer track to your controller. . It might consume more CPU though.
You're welcome. Of course I could, they're there because I made a video about using note stickers to help beginners and/or those who struggle with music theory get started. I also sell those stickers through affiliate sales. :)
That was well presented but how does one map the Play, Stop and Record buttons to their controller? I have an Axiom Air 32 by M-audio and can't fathom this mapping requirement.
Those are the transport controls and should be automatically assigned when you use the correct controller type. Go to options and midi, and then make sure the right controller is selected. The transport controls (play, stop, record etc) should then automatically be assigned.
Those are the transport controls. You can't map those, you have to choose the correct midi interface from the MIDI menu. Once you've selected the correct one, the transport controls (play, stop record etc) should work.

@@FireWalkMusic Thanks for the help. 😊 I just finded out that, I can use the control surface in the "Mixer Effects" to use one slider to control many parameters. I use it for live performance. Automation Clips do not work in performance mode.
hi sir please reply i am having a hard time... i wanted to record drums using midi controller coming from my electronic drums and record piano coming from my keyboard midi controller ... is it possible to record it on automation separately?
Hy 'FireWalk'. Today I've watched some of your clips. I know every producer use other techniques and that's good, but there are new helpful ways (powered by you) that I try to understand and use in the future. Mostly are the kick and bass parts the hardest (for me) and to make a good structure. I use 'FL STUDIO 11', because... So it's always better if someone like you show something that can use in these older versions too. I don't know if you made that, but it would great if you show how to make a wide stereo sound with different instruments (piano the right or) and how to manage the phasing for each instrument that it sounds good in this wide stereo and mono version. And let you time to show it and how to fix (some) problems that it can maybe bring. And even if you under 100 000 subscribers now doesn't mean that you are not good or are not a pro. So give nothing of this and make always what you like and think is good. If you have some time and like listen my song 'SCIFU7E - TRAVELLINK (MIND VERSION l FINAL MIX). Have fun to make something, nice days and thank you for your work 🍀☕
@FireWalk I am using a Launcheky MK 2 61 and the newest version of Fl. I am able to link some buttons but not all. Been looking for a solution so long but really don't know what to do anymore. Midi is set up and I can play and I can use the pads but the mixer and effect controllers are not useable correctly (linking doesn't auto detect). Please help!!
Awesome video! Question: If I have two vst's cut-off both assigned to a single knob, how can I make FL Studio only change the cut-off of the focused VST? I use my knobs for audition purposes. Currently my unfocused VST also changes when I work with the focused VST
I really need your help. When I link the controller and move the fader it drops the volume to 0. And has no further effect on it. I cannot find anyone else who touches this topic as clearly as you do. How do I fix this issue
how do you assign record pause and stop buttons to a midi controller? I am sick of using a keyboard to trigger the record when my midi piano is far away from my laptop
I have a controller and sometimes I use samples and I want to make a set and use the nobs with effects, how can I assign the effect to the sample and record those effects? (video has been very helpful)
very helpful. but I wonder if it is possible to link multiple knob on FL (or on VSTs) to a unique knob on my controller, and do anyone knows how to do it?
