  • Also, "patterns" isn't in my playlists drop down menu. Is there something wrong with my FL Studio?

  • My peak controller isn't working it seems. In the peak controller window, the bars don't flash up and down with my beat, like in your video. Also it doesn't effect my Sytrus synth at all...

    anybody know what's up?

    I love your tutorials though, thank your for all the work man, we appreciate it !!

  • Valuable information, thanks!

  • These tutorials are excellent! Well done,and thanks for posting these.

  • IT'S LIKE ALL THE SHIT I DON'T KNOW! BIG UPS DOUG

  • Forgive me if you`ve covered this in previous videos, but i hvae a problem with my kicks/snares beats. I cant really make them seem louder and more apparent, they always get blocked out my the Melody of something else. Is it just the sample? or are there certain settings i have to have in order to make them sound like yours?

  • @ste1438 For some reason my peak controller isn't syncing? Any ideas? I can try to shoot you a screen capture video if that would help.

  • Done. Moving on to #5 and for new tuts please keep in mind that if you right click or something, say that. Thanks, these are great!

  • How do you delete a track the mixer my master track has another track linked it. Each time scroll across, it sounds differently via effect, and also non of the other track are responding, so how do I return the main track back to the master track?

  • @renshawhu You messed up - you shouldn't have problems like this - I suspect that your fpc is not assigned a track number (covered in video 1). or the peak controller is on the master or insert - instead of a send track (explained in this video). The Mixer is confusing at first - you get use to it over time, for a while you'll run into some weirdness unyil you get more familiar with it. I should cover common mistkes in more detail in another vido

  • when you bussed the peak limiter to the 303 sequence, is that acting sort of like a gate controlled by the hats, or by what, exactly?

  • @rformidable it's not a gate effect or a limiter either-it's a peak controller. It gets the peak data from the audio and applies that to whatever you have it linked too. What I did is a pumping effect that make the synth volume pulse with the drum track. Without it, the synth would sound a bit out of sync/flat.

  • @ste1438 thanks...

    well, i'm still sort of confused on this, i gotta watch this tut again, and play with it while you're doing it......(didn't get a chance to do that before)

  • Hey I ste1438 do you have any good D n B packs for FL studio's and great vid man ^_^

  • i need an audio interface for fruity loops 10 What would you recommend?

  • @solo0nine I don't give recommendations for hardware = it's not my place to make decisions like that for anyone - so many people have a different point of view about things like this. Shop around - stick to your budget. If your unsure just make sure you purchase with a return policy. Keep in mind that audio quality is not an issue at all - cheap or expensive - they all playback very high quality these days. The important thing is signal speed (latency) and flexibility(connections).

  • Best tutorials ive ever watched about anything!

  • 5 star vid fam! Check my vids if you need some samples

  • I just don't know how to thank you for these amazing videos man! Great Job!

  • Why does my last note in the piano roll right before the loop is about to re-loop sound so low? It's like it's velocity is lowered but I have double checked now so many times but I just seem not to able to fix it, any ideas about this man? By the way I love your videos they have helped me alot! :)

  • Dude i love you <3

  • Hey, man! Great tus btw, but can you do a tutorial on dubstep?

  • Yeah i am having the same problem splitting the pattern by channel, i have tried the things you have listed above all mighty FL Guru but i am still not seeing Patterns>Split By Channel. Other then that amazing job my friend keep it up <3

  • @Preston1944 click on the step sequencer right where it says "Pattern" on the title bar - a menu drops down it's there - you'll see "split by channel"- This splits the you pattern that you have selected.to new patterns. The new patterns get created and renamed to reflect the channel name too. It's a big time saver

  • dudes

  • wht version are you using in this video im not shown pattern in the drop down menu of playlist.. just loved that function of split by channel, but i cant see it, using v10

  • @gilladjoko same option is on the step sequencer drop down menu now. This was FL Beta 10 - they move it (sigh) - since then. I liked it in the playlist myself.

  • So when I click on the menu in the playlist, I dont see a patterns submenu. Am I missing something?

  • @freakishgth Yes - You have many ways to select patterns, first - try, ctrl+alt+F8 (cool huh) - Keep in mind that if a pattern is already in the playlist, clicking on its title bar will make it the selected pattern. There is a pattern drop down at the top of the playlist. The playback panel pattern selector is some thing I llike also - rollover the pattern number next to your tempo - click and drag.

  • @ste1438 finally selection through the library browser. Expand current project patterns, you can select patterns there too. It's all a matter of preference - lot's of options, I don't cover it anymore because it confuses the hell out of people - and it's alway being updated, but in the end it's just an issue where everyone discovers there own preference after using FL Studio for a while.

  • 22:43 i don't have the option for patterns.. i'm using FL Studio 10. help plz

  • Thanks for the videos Ste1438. Just a quick question: Why is my FPC 808kit 19 different from yours? Instead of "kick" I have "kick drum" (that sounds completly different to the normal kick you use). Tried to google this, but cant fint anything relevant. Might it be because I use FL 10? Again, thanks for the tutorials! :)

  • Maybe i sound stupid but i dont understand why you assigned the kick to output 1 on the FPC and then it ends up on 4 when it goes into the mixer track?

  • @kevo8t6 The entire drum kit (Kick,hat,snare...) has it's own mixer track. What if I want to use a bass boost on the Kick only?. I wouldn't want to put that on the whole kit. I give the kick an offset value of 1 in the FPC .. If the FPC is on fx track 3 --> the kick ends up on track 4.

  • I tried to spilt by chanel but i dont have this option on my fl help me

  • @avitaer550 Since this was created it was moved to the step sequencer drop down menu, and removed from the playlist menu.

  • When I set up a bass like you do, then open the piano roll, there are no notes on the piano roll, even though there are notes playing.

  • @gutzs Possibly 2 issues: most likely - you'll notice that I right click and "send it to the piano" roll first. It's a detail that is easy to miss from the video. Your sequence can only exist on the blocks or in the piano roll - not both - for obvious reasons, if you take a moment to think about it,

    The other possible cause - looking at the wrong channel. Check filter group, make sure you not in an automation clip with the same name.

  • Hmmmm 09:10 confuses me. I dont understand how i can assignt the kick to a individual mixer track . I set the output to one in FPC, but the kick doesnt show up in the chanel mixer.

  • @GustavsRe That is because the output does not assign anything to the mixer - it offsets. You have to put the FPC on its own mixer track first - then it will work by off setting from the mixer track you assigned to the FPC. It's not intuitive for technical reasons, but its really useful that you can sequence it all on the same piano roll track and split the individual notes like that. Easier to set up then it sounds too - the reason for the video, but somehow you missed a step.

  • I'm wondering why does my FLstudio produces different sound. For example the FPC Dance 07 at 03:28.

    p.s.

    Thank you for your tutorials. I love them :)

  • I love your tutorials, but sometimes you go really fast and I can't tell what you did. I'll replay several times but still can't tell what you did. For example when you are in the piano roll and you zoom, I can only get it to zoom so that the notes are small or tall, but I can't figure out how you are zooming the bars left and right.

    Thank you for the great tutorials.

  • @rpotter1770 there are many ways to zoom. You can use the numbers 1-4 above the alpha section of your keyboard, hold ctrl+(hold)right click and lasso a section or ctrl+(tap)left click to zoom out to full screen, hold ctrl and scroll mouse wheel.... many more options but these are the ones I usually use.

  • I have a question and i don't know if its because im using crack fl studio or what.

    But i used fl studio 10.0.8 producer edition and its crack. but on the side panel where you was talking about cympals, drums, and other stuff. I don'l have shared data. I have IL Shared Data and its not under there; however i have to go under packs and the stuff that you were talking about is under a folder called legacy under packs and it won't even play a sound. Please Help

  • Hey so I'm a beginner with FL studio 10 and I was wondering when you send the beat that was in the mixer preset to the piano roll how do you see the names of the instruments used in the beat? All I see are piano keys even when I switch to the ABC above the keys..

  • @jboychitown Only works with certain plugins - FPC and SliceX for example. There are view toggle buttons above the keyboard in the piano roll. I wish i could mention more of these little details - but there are so many minor details that it's impossible to leave no stone unturned.

  • @ste1438 So since I cant change up the beat pattern say after the 4th bar like you can by copy pasting and moving a couple notes to switch up the beat for the chorus or a start of a verse, how can I change it up without having to create a whole new beat that matches? Because when I try and copy and paste to the next bar like you do it messes up my drum pattern and starts to overlap and what not. So all I want to know is if there is any easy way for me to change up a couple notes like you do.

  • @jboychitown  I did it that way because I couldn't use a short cut key during screen recording. Select what you want to copy down - press Ctrl+B - it goes to the next bar - no overlapping. Make sure you have FL Studio 10.

  • @ste1438 Thanks for the helpful answers. Of course I have FL Studio 10..legally also. I will be asking more questions when I come across more problems or any kind of confusion but thanks for answering me so far. One more question...where can I download those 808 beat patterns? Or do they come complimentary with FL Studio 10?

  • I love how as the videos go on less and less people view them lol shows the amount of people who quit haha Im pretty advanced at fl and even though i already know alot of fl its good to go back to the basics, and see if theres things i dont know or forgot about

    Great Tuts i wish i could have them all in a mini movie and labeled scenes

  • @FuxwitVon labeled scenes would be great indeed. it's hard to get back on a topic in long videos!

  • great tutorial, Your the best!!!

  • is there anyway to create folders on the browser/plugin picker ?

  • @JerkySplash you can put folders in the browser by pressing F10 and in the file section you can add directories. The plugin picker is a little more complicated and I cant explain in the amount of characters youtube allows me to. I know there are videos online of how to do it though.

  • @SpeakerFrequer alright thanks

  • i really wish you would make more of these series, i'm going through them a second time, and taking notes this time so that i could remember everything.

    usually in other tutorials, people start "running out of ideas" but you always say "and i really wish i had more time because there's so much more i want to talk about." i really like your tutorials man. thanks a ton!

  • how do i UNlink something from the mixer?

  • Very well done! Check out my new tracks if u want! im a beginner but still =) learned a lot from this stuff! peace man!

  • That beat u made's dope bro, jelly of ur skills.

  • While I'm waiting for Vid 4 to load I want to say thanks again, so much! These videos are AMAZING. I have learned a whole lot just in the first three videos. You are really easy to follow and explain things very well. I get stuck sometimes when you use shortcuts/keyboard strokes, just a quick mention of the keystrokes as you do them would be great. I know its my own fault but thought I'd mention it. Still, these videos are better than I could have ever imagined. Sincere thanks & respect!

  • thanks a lot man, due to these tutorials i can use FL exactly as i dreamt xD

  • thank your very much!

  • Hey ste1438 I have been messing around with fl studio 10 producer version and I am having a problem that when I go to add different patterns into the song playlist they will change each other. Take an example like if I put Sytrus in pattern 2 then in the same spot in Pattern 1 Sytrus will appear. How do I solve this problem so everything stays the first time. Thanks

  • hei ste1438 I am watching your videos for a few months now, and I'm trying to make a song now but I have an issue, I have a sample made with sytrus and when I put it into the song mode it lasts for the whole song and I do not want that I want to start and finish were I want , how would I do that. Thanks , keep up the wonderful work

  • Hello:) i have been using fl studio for about 2 and a half month now, and i got this problem that i can only make 1 noise at a time! a bit hard to explain but i will try. i cant make several type of noises fit in one place of a song, is there a tutorial on youtube or something how you do that? all i manage to do is a bassline and a kick/clap line:S please help me anyone, that would be awesome;) i just cant make several beats sound good together heh;) i hope someone understand what i mean!=)

  • @zipproductionz Your problem boils down to understanding basic Music theory: scales, chords, melody, and harmony. Watch music theory primer videos and "create a remake in no time flat" too. Anyone that starts learning how to play an instrument, will start with popular works by others and naturally develop toward creating there own music and style. After all, FL studio and any other DAW can be thought of as musical instruments themselves with a lot of functionality.

  • could you explain the parametic eq 2 on a video. I see you using it and all that but when it comes to using it myself i have no idea what i'm doing.

  • this is by far my favorite tutorial

  • How do I get the original presets that come with the "step sequence" like the snare?

  • you are fuckin amazing man, i usually can only learn on my own through trial and error. but you have a way of getting across to your viewers, atleast me.

  • Кто хотел после полноэкранного режима закрыть окно в FL STUDIO , палец вверх)))

  • WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO SUPER SUPER SUPER HELPFULL!!! i'm adding this to favorites!!

  • WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO SUPER SUPER SUPER HELPFULL!!!

  • This one was great ive watched 1-4 and this one by far the best and most helpful, specially when you split by channel thats when i understood the most... cant wait to watch the next about theory of songs placement and that thanks alot

  • I am not faggot dude but i love you

  • thanks.... very nice straight forward tutorial... it really helped me aolng.

  • btw spot ON with what you said at the end its NOT fair for you to come in with your kick ass project ALREADY done and it sounds great and what not but you dont get a feel for how you made it. you really showed that you CAN get something done in a relatively short amount of time pulled out of your ass with just a few idea's once again. your my guy for tuts. make MOAR.

  • this was a really nice tut. never really used the peak controller much. but you just showed me some very quick and easy ways to integrate it into almost anything. ^_^. i think you have some of the best fl tutorials on youtube. AND how fucking cool is it that your making this on the demo version. people have no excuse not to learn something new. please keep up the good work : D

  • hehehehe the drum loop and bassline sound a little like the music in an adult movie. :P

  • i love you dude!!! LOL

    

  • So awesome, you kick ass. How come you stopped making videos though? No 7?

  • this is so helpful thank you for the vids

  • Hey Ste1438... is the peak controller driven from the amplitude of the drum tracks once you sent it to them?? and in return is volume knob for sytrus playing the same peak pattern from the drum tracks through the peak controller??

  • That little intro song was pretty funky.

  • @SelrahcRenyar lol i posted that comment when i first started watching. now I got to see how it was made :D

  • Great tutorials man, loved this song intro. I really like hearing those at the beginning of videos since it shows how nice this program works and how all the effort of learning all of this software is going to pay off! Thanks again

  • Dear ste1438, are FPC loops available if you only download the beta version of FL studio? PLEASE RESPOND

  • You are honestly one of the most helpful people I have ever found on the internet. Thank you so much.

  • Hey, i can't go into patterns and split by channel, and split them up, i'm using fl studio ten, would love to know how it works, as i can mover forward with tutorials..

  • @nicedeck52 It was moved from the playlist menu to the step sequencer menu. Click on the pattern drop down and you will see it.

  • Exclent tutorials ... and I is not English

    Exclente tutoriales... y yo que no se ingles

  • I was wondering a question like the person below me. If I wanted to get only the lyrics from one song, is there any way that you know about that I would I be able to do that? And if so what tool would I use. I've been trying to find acapellas of some songs but most of the ones I want to remix don't have acapellas (Or at least I can't find any). Thanks man, I appreciate all these tutorials. Really helps out a lot.

  • hey i was wondering how people add vocals into there songs and the music pieces they create like the opera and what not can you post a tutorial on that too please... and great tutorials <3 them

  • hey on the demo i used to be able to record melodies with my midi and they would automatically go to the piano roll and on the track but now i have the full verison and it wont work and i dont want to click all my melodies onto my piano roll PLZ RESPOND

  • Fruity loops has been make my songs sound weird and choppy lately. I think this is because when a certain note is a high velocity, then when ever it plays, all the other instruments get quieter. Then by the time I finish my beat the volume goes up and down and the song sounds terrible and drowned out. Is there anyway I can change that? PLEASE RESPOND

  • @Fruity1oopsProducer Be careful with limiters and compressors - Try equalization. Experiment until you get the sound you want. You have full control over the sound - you can't say that FL Studio makes your songs sound choppy ,or that it screws up your velocity. Your doing it, not FL Studio. Most people use FL Studio without running into problems like that. FL Studio only does what you tell it to.

  • @ste1438 i have similar trouble at times. for example in a dubstep song im making, its fine apart from when i build up lots of kicks with osc, when its about to drop the instruments dont stay at an even volume. is this the same problem? i need the kick and the oscilator to both come through clean, do i just need to play around with eq?

  • @ste1438 Hey man, your videos have been a huge help for me in learning this software.. Im more into dubstep.. Can you tell me where i can find any Dubstep samples or plugins etc?

  • @Fruity1oopsProducer I think it may be because the volume of the sound is too high... try turning the sound down and see how it sounds

  • @Fruity1oopsProducer sidechain breh

  • @Fruity1oopsProducer i think its because of the levers thing in the Misc. put it down,

  • @PSV7200 i mean levels

  • when i click "link to controller" the screen that pops up doesn't have an internal controller drop down menu...

    i'm using FL studio 9

  • Hi bro, you know someone who can teach me how to make a dance track?

  • MIDE Anruf in Abwesenheit ( tech house) Is my track in FL STUDIO 9...Listen and coment pls :)MIDE Anruf in Abwesenheit ( tech house) Is my track in FL STUDIO 9...Listen and coment pls :)

  • MIDE Anruf in Abwesenheit ( tech house) Is my track in FL STUDIO 9...Listen and coment pls :)

  • why is it that when he assigns the channels to output 1 it ends up in the mixer track as channel four. same thing happens when he assigns the high hat, it goes to 5.

  • I hate ads enough already

    but I REALLY hate when they FREEZE

  • hi! i would like to know which of ur video is focus on voice recording and adding effects while recording in the mixer or something like that!

  • yeah dude!!!! you are a amazing teacher. i stayed up till 5am last night watching your videos for like 6 hours. lol! cant wait to hear more of your songs and see your videos.

  • hey dude you make really good tutorials

    keep it up

    thanks you helped me alot

  • hey dude you make really good tutorials

    keep it up

  • hey dude you make really good tutorials

  • i hate it when adverts(commercials for you americans) have to buffer -.-

  • ahhhh sendin the beat and the strings to the peak controller - makes so much more sense, and thanks for mentioning the ghost channels option and splitting channel. Yer video has been quiet helpful. Cheers STE148

  • You are Amazing, u should be a real teacher u can explain very well and love how u learn me stuff ! THANKS A LOOT !

  • How do you get that Jazz Guitar on there?

  • @lKiLLErMaN99l thats a DX10 synth channel preset. It's not really all to important to use that though.

  • @lKiLLErMaN99l search for it

  • Thank you. Thank you for spending all this time and effort on teaching us. Thank you!!

  • Quick question: How do you get your individual mixer channels to show the blips that way? Mine just shows the sound meter going up and down.

    I have FL Studio 9 XXL producer Edition, in case that means anything

  • @Benettonkkb It's in the beta version, not a public feature yet. It will be in FL Studio 10. You'll find the option in the drop down menu in the mixer panel, if the feature is available, I don't think it is in version 9, unless it's a beta test version though.

  • @ste1438 I got a question about the piano roll. How come when im working with my drum pattern I can only stretch my pattern to a certain length. Like when I look at your step sequencer at 4:32 my FPC pattern only stretches halfway. And then leaves a space so that nothing plays until the pattern loops itself over agin.

  • Man, I've been working with Fl Studio for years and you've showed me so much that I didnt know such as the mixer mastering presets....Makes a MAJOR difference in the end result...THANKS!!!!

  • coooool

    

  • everytime i hope that at the end of tutorial i could be able to make a song like the intro but i cant :(

  • This is by far the best series I have seen on FL Studio. The tid bits on theory are a nice touch as well. Thank you so much for your hard work.

  • I got one problem . In my FPC the loops arent the same as yours . As I have Kick Drum u have only Kick etc. Can you help me ?

  • i fucking hate ads

  • massive intro dude !!! keep up the good work!!!

  • Could I do sort of Daft Punk music with FL Studio 9?

  • @ycantihaveone Peak controller? It's not easy to set up the first time. It's incredibly useful though, and important to understand. Just try to figure out what your doing wrong. I'm going to focus on the peak controller in an upcoming video soon.

  • @southsidekre1 no offense but there is no cheating in music, its and art form not a sport.

  • Very clear and informative. I have never learnt any software this fast from online tutorials. Thank you and god bless you ;)

  • Hey Ste

    Here's is what i made so far after the 4th tutorial.

    Tell me what i can do better :)
