  • In this video, I share 12 essential tips for FL Studio beginners which I wish I knew when I started.
    Some of them are some quick tips, others are common "mistakes" I see people make, hopefully, this video makes your production and workflow just a little bit easier :)

      Just wanted to add, for 7:00 you can set "Don't initalize controls automatically" in General Settings > Advanced, so you can avoid that issue altogether.

      @jiku4041 4 роки тому +4

      7:00 to 8:05
      in the latest FL versions you can just right click on the fader and uncheck "Init song with this position"
      I think that is a bit easier

      ​@@inthemix the thing I said though is a little bit different
      if you still want the parameters to initialize when playing the song, which I personally prefer, you can just uncheck "Init song with this position" in the settings of the fader or whatever you have automated after deleting the automation clip
      I'm sorry if that information was unnecessary

    A couple more tips:
    -Press F12 to close all windows. This is useful for cluttered projects.
    - Hold shift and click on anything on the playlist and drag it to create an instant copy
    -When using the slice tool use right click instead of left, that will delete the new slice

    • @joshuacook6981
      @joshuacook6981 4 роки тому +47

      Use reference tracks that are the same genre and style of what your trying to produce. Pay attention to the arrangement, especially the use of fx and automation in the track. Its better to load them into your daw as wav as it requires less cpu to run than mp3. Make sure to adjust their volume to match your track.
      Youll be surprised what you can learn from just listening closely. Theyre also useful for mixing / mastering but arrangement is the most important part of music production so as a beginner its best to focus on that.

      Everyone even people who aren’t beginners have ideas in their heads and then they turn completely different when they try to put them into the daw.
      I’d guess that it’s pretty rare anyone gets their idea into the daw perfectly. They probably end up with some semblance of the idea and it turns into something else completely as you use the idea in your head to spark a new idea.

    i really appreciate your videos. youre super talented, and your production (both video and audio) are top notch.
    i knew some of the things in this vid, but most i did not (detached hint bar?!). again, thank you.
    the only request i can really have is a rundown of your most used keyboard shortcuts. again, i know a lot, and some of what i know, i just dont know the context for them or how exactly they would be used. i think that sort of video would help others as well.

    Great video especially the "Search For Samples" tip that will really save me some time.
