    Here's a tip from me: When you open your project, FL opens up all your plugins that were used in that project. If you dont want to bother closing them all one by one, simply press F12 and it will close all the open tabs and then you can open your playlist and mixer back. This saves a lot of time and sometimes hardware too

      @@darksentinel082 dude you just gave me mad flashbacks to the free version days...
      I once spent 6 months on a track without closing it just for my PC to crash. Then when I finally purchased FL I realised it didn't matter cause not all the plugins usable in the trial come with the ~$600 version of FL (crazy right?) so all those patterns and fx disappeared as soon as I excitedly re-opened my long lost project.
      Morale of the story; life is pain.

    A few tips that you mentioned (and might not know) is
    - Hold shift when using the blade tool to make it perfectly vertical instead of a bunch of cuts all over the place
    - hold shift and scroll while hovering over tracks to move them instead of constantly right clicking and selecting move
    - hold shift while moving an automation point to stop it from moving up and down, same with ctrl and horizontal
    - when right clicking you can use hotkeys like C to copy, to save time instead of having to click it every time
    - You can select multiple mixer tracks by pressing shift + ctrl

    Another tip: Want to copy an effect to another mixer track but not go through loading it up again and making the same changes again? Click the down arrow on it, go to "Save preset as..." CLICK AND HOLD
    Now drag to a new mixer track and let go. Boom. Copy of the effect should load in.

    3:35. If u put patcher in the mixer, then u can choose to get paralell connection from the main sound, and if u want to get the series connection, then u can do that too. (And it can be so easy to overwatch it) And patcher got a little secret, it only route up bye once the fruity distortion. So u can do 1000X times and still get like a little distortion. But if u do as like always put and put, then it get the distortion as many times as u put it.

    Tip from ya boy Danny Demando: Having your samples automatically routed based on the track it's in. In FL 20, if you right click on a track, go to "Track Mode", and then go to "Audio Track", it will automatically route the samples to the insert that it's assigned to. For example, if I have Track 1 routed to Insert 1 and drop a clap sample onto the timeline, that clap will automatically be routed to Insert 1. If you want to route that clap to a different insert, just drag it to a different track and it'll switch to that one instead (assuming it's routed). This is really useful if you make your own template and just drag samples into your song without having to route them manually or interrupt your workflow.
    Bonus tip: if you rename, color, etc. to a routed track, it'll automatically apply it to the same insert it's routed to. Makes organizing just a tad faster.
