Notes: This was made with FL Studio 20.8 and not sure if this will work for others, please let me know.
The audio files are NOT included in the project, you will have to replace the sounds on the FPC with sounds of your own.
The master track by default is set to output to my outputs - you will probably need to change them in order to hear the audio.
Additionally, you may need to reselect your audio driver in case it tries to find and use mine. Options - Audio Settings - Change device from the dropdown.
This is all I can think of, any other problems let me know in the comments section.

Make a video on how to use fpc loops and make a full beat with it if possible I'm trying to find the easiest way to make music
This is Gold content thank you :)
Thanks!
Good Tutorial, very helpful, thanks
Hey Jako glad it was helpful. Thank you for the feedback 👍✌
@@tbrizOfficial I watched it last week, and found it really helpful - I have never used FPC before, and didn't really understand it.
Since then I have watched a few other FPC tutorials by other producers as well, and found two other good ones.
Right now I am re-watching this tutorial with a pen and paper in front of me taking notes, so I can set it up to work the way I want.
Thanks again
cheers
@@Jako8557 Awesome man, glad it is helping 👍😎

Great
Thank you
AJAJAJA awesome Thanks needed this tutorials & work ethic laughter Blessings 😄😜🤪👐🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
👍🤘
That's so funny lol. I have had trouble seeing lately; I was working on a track a few weeks ago and colored my drums RED and FL Studio said "Brown". I had to ask my Mom just to make sure I didn't need to go to the hospital lmao. She agreed it was red. So don't feel bad!! They definitely need to fix that
I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😂😂
Great video, will be trying this tonight, I have a quick question. Is the group channel required as the main channel had all the drums running through it. Once you grouped them what then happens to the fpc on insert 1.
Thanks.
If I recall, the actual FPC track doesn't have a signal at that point... Sort of just a placeholder... But honestly I am going by memory, it's been a while since I made this video. Grouping everything to one insert makes it so total volume of all drums can be changed as a whole... I don't have time to rewatch the video otherwise I would check and see what I did, so just going by memory LOL... Best way to find out is to follow along and try it out! Thanks for the comment ✌
Beautiful, i learned something new. Thanks for that information. What, if i want to slice some drumloop and add that to the Fpc.. Is there some easy way to do it? I know how i can use slicex and add one slice at a time to Fpc, but it´s hard and slow way to do it. Any faster way?
I am actually in the process of doing that myself for something... Maybe I will make a video on it. Keep an eye out will try to put that up soon. Thanks for the comment. ✌
Great video, I learned so much! Also I don't think you are color-blind :D
Awesome! Haha thanks man! Don't forget to sub if you haven't already. Appreciate it ✌️
My issue with using presets for FPC is that it keeps the same name in the mixer. So if you put a kick where a Snare was , the mixer will say “Snare” until you rename it. Which can get cumbersome. No Other DAW is like this. It’s automatic in other DAWS
Yea some of these plugins could use some love from image line and get quality-of-life improvements, like this one.
After I split my channels out of the FPC, I route the drums back into the FPC channel as a drum bus.
that's kind of how Akai does it with their drum programs. you create a drum program, and each program exists inside something called a "Pad mixer" which is essentially a bus inside of the mixer.
I love FL studio, I learned everything about sound and audio through it, even routing. A lot of DAWs are simpler, but FL lets you do anything your own way even if it's like 12 extra steps.
Overall though, this is a fair video. I think the FPC gets overlooked a lot. It has tuning, and ADSR, layering all that jazz, and I think it's the least talked about plugin in the daw, even though I think it's the best drum rack FL Studio has to offer.
Sucks you gotta create the drum kits yourself, but it's no different than a real MPC. and I think there's FPC expansions/presets around. I know you can save the drum kits you make inside of it too.
Appreciate the additional context. And thanks for the comment!
Does FPC give us a 16 levels option or can we map that out easy?
Hey - I'm not sure TBH... Might have to go and do some experimenting
How would I make individual playlist tracks for my drums using the FPC?
Sorry not sure how to answer that one... The simplest solution would be to not use the FPC since by default it puts all the notes into the same pattern. Hope you figure that out tho
You did great 🤣
Hahaha thanks for the encouragement! ✌
I think the actual 'FPC' insert is not being used anymore, once all the individual inserts are routed to the 'Group' Insert (is that right ??).
Can all the individual percussion instruments instead be routed to the 'FPC' insert and use it as the group insert (and do away with the group insert altogether) ??
or am I missing something...
Hi Jako,
Here's my thinking on that...
The FPC insert is still being "used" even though it is no longer getting an audio signal. Look at the channel rack... What insert is the FPC channel connected to? Even though we rerouted the audio from the pads to other inserts, that FPC insert is still very much connected to the FPC channel and awaiting an audio signal. For instance, if we un-routed any of the pads, they would default back to the FPC insert track... or, if we were to load a FPC preset kit, it may not have pads routed either, defaulting the audio back to the FPC insert. So I leave this track here because even though it is not currently receiving signal, it is still very much connected to the FPC and I would not use it for anything else.
Setting it up the way you suggested may work (go ahead and try it out, why not) - but I would much rather have my audio separated in a way that I know what each insert purpose is... one insert completely dedicated as the FPC default insert, and one insert is completely dedicated as my group insert. To me, there is no reason to combine the two - I have plenty of faders to work with so might as well make them very specific to stay organized.
I hope this makes sense. Just my thoughts on this and it is ultimately up to you to experiment and find out what works best for you! Appreciate the comments!
@@tbrizOfficial I'll try out both ways and see what happens. Thanks for your thoughts.
I'd have to double-check to see if that's possible, but when I set up some FPC drumkits, I just kept the kick drum with 0 for the offset (with snare on +1, hats on +2 etc) so that there is no "wasted" channel on the mixer. I still send those mixer channels to another group, but my personal preference is to have the kick drum on the very first fader (0 offset).
Can I add FLEX instruments to the Drum-Pads? 🎵
Hmmmm I am not sure... I think only samples, not vst output (if I follow the question correctly)...
@@tbrizOfficial interesting 🤔
Can you please do a tutorial on slicex?
Why sure mr. kind stranger who I definitely don't know in real life..... :)
That was a good idea tbone... Went ahead and made one actually.
11 Minutes in and I just lost all of my progress because I didn't save my preset pad setup and I accidentally clicked the over arrow switching to another preset while just trying to minimize and now everything I just spent all morning working on is gone and I didn't even get to finish the video by this point.
I am absolutely crushed
!
Ok, just pushed through the work day and now I'm back ta it!
Passed out because it was a super rough day at work, but I just went through the video again and quickly got back to where I was before thanks to your guidance! Great tutorial man! Thank you! I feel like I should have to pay for the amount of information I just acquired from this experience.
@@RyanEaiseProductions That was quite an epic tale, I am glad it had a happy ending... It's free no charge! 😁
Great video!
Thanks 😁
