  • good looking your videos really help.

    keep up the good work

  • im using fl 9 and if try to link the auto clip to arp or any i doesnt work in pattern mode.. only in the playlist

  • @JekillOfficial me too!

  • None of this shit about controllers work... Maybe it differs in newer versions.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey! Thanks for all the videos, you're a hero! Anyway, I have some problems with the sound on my computer. I did all the settingchanges that you said you should in the first video but know theres like a buzz when I listend to my projects. It's really annoying, do you know how to fix this? THNX!

  • Comment removed

  • Simply great tutorial! Even while I am using FL for 10 years already, I learned things! Beginners are very lucky :D

  • I LOVE your tutorials!

  • Awesome tutorial, Heres my first song watch?v=103vE41h7AQ&feature=g-­upl&context=G26b3fe5AUAAAAAAAA­AA

  • when you put in the effects in min 26 it really sounds beautiful, this is so awesome

  • @JigsawDeejay *at

  • You are great!!

  • Love your tutorials. Excellent job

  • Im having trouble try to set up the automation clip... When I try to use it I right click on the drum loop and I hit automation clip and after that Auto clip come on and it keep doin that?? Can somebody please help me P.S. Im using the demo verison

  • How can I get the pattern view in FL Studio tracklist? I only have track 1 to track 99. I want to be able to play specific patterns. Any ideas?

  • what microphone do you use to record your voice?

  • OK I apoligize for so many comments and rookie questions but whenever I link either sampler to the square 8th auto clip [as shown at 21:10] , the volume knobs do not move at all for me! I did everything verbatim so it would seem , and I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong here.

  • root note * sorry i figured it out I was left clicking and right clicking thus zoning C6 to C6 lol thats why it wouldn't play. Very good tutorial man its great to know such valuable resources of information are available here on youtube.

  • Hey whenever i did what you do at 22:14 when you made dx7 an arpeggio and then highlighted a different scale [orange highlight] ,and stop the pattern then try to play it again, the sampler will not even play 4 me. Do you have any idea why this is happening ?

  • I have prloblems with sound. My music gets distorded and cracks when I add kick and bassline together and its really annoying.... I have tried with asio buffer size maxed and with default adiodevice buffer lenghth maxed but either didnt work! Only thing I can get it away is to put fuity limiter to master mixer but then sound is not so good.

    Pls help you FL Studio guru :D

  • can u also upload an overall tutorial of how to make different types of music? it would really help me.

  • I gave up trying to copy in FL at about 21:00. Too fast :/

  • why when i try to make an automation clip i dont get volume envolope i get mute/solo ?

  • when i link the controllers to what you told me to it does not work in pattern mode. Unless i paste everything to the playlist and play it in song mode it sounds like it supposed to. Could you please help me out? as it is a hassle to put everything in song mode

  • Oh one more thing to add. My volume seems to get stuck on the volume that the automation stopped on. For example: If my automation would totally kill the sound when I stopped playing a song and then start playing something else, the volume will be stuck on 0 even though the master volume is still on 100%. This must be some kind of bug?

  • @Sodin89 set the control knob to where you want it to start at - right click and choose - Init song from this position. Now when ever you stop and start your automation will reset back to where it was initialized.

  • @ste1438 I've actually tried that. To resume the volume and get it back I have to make any kind of audio clip that fades in back too full volume, or else the volume will be either totally muted or lowered, there's no other way, except for restarting the program, to get the volume back. Thanks for these videos and all the help/quick replies, you're awesome!

  • awsome tutos man! :D

    i watched them a lot of times to get good results in my works! :) thank you so much! u learn us in details and its awsome! :)

    but can u please tell meh wut u use for screen recording?

  • this helped me alot but you used premade drumloops how would create a automation for say drum loop I made in pattern 1 NOT and premade loop, and i wants the bass drum the snare and the hithats to all automate at the same time? the must be a better way than automating each individual drum shot.. please inbox me!

  • @domisking No magic bullet there - tweak each part separately. I didn't focus on it because it is that basic - it's more work when you use separate channels - better though. It's always good to go the extra mile. For example an artist that opts to do chorus by carefully recording vocal layers is going to sound better than someone that simply uses a Chorus effect. Easy solutions often compromise the over all production.

  • @ste1438 Keep in mind - you can simply share automation too - I covered that in great detail.

  • @ste1438 ohwell its a shame they dont have a tool for it really unless i master my drums and save them as wavs and use them as pre made loops is only other way i could do it gutted :/

  • @domisking It's better to have the channels separated - once you bounce it down to a loop - there is no going back. It's also pain to to go through that process. Do you know how to use layers?

  • @ste1438 yeh its cool man its just the one bit about producing that does my headin having loads of automation clips for each one shot drum sample i use and I use alot of drum sounds what do u meen by layers by the way mate?

  • @domisking Layer Channel - you can conbine channels in to one channel with that. set key ranges for each channel and you'll have a lot more control over you drum tracks. Layers are really useful - I need to cover it. 

  • @ste1438 please could you inbox me when u do?

  • @domisking Yes - it's first on my list - I had a great video up here devoted to using layers - it's that important - but it got outdated - FL 8.

  • Ste you really have helped me out alot!!!

    Thank you so much!

  • lots of dj will born after this tutorials..thanks!!

  • im having that same problem to also my automation clip won't play and its not even when i hit metric in the formula thing. You should redo this tutorial with fl studio 10 or 10.0.8 :)

  • @M1xMasterMonty93 Your just doing something wrong - it works the same now as it did then when I created it. In fact, back when I did this compatibility was better for FL10 because this is an alpha preview version of FL Studio 10. I did that to ensure this video would not be outdated any time soon.

  • @M1xMasterMonty93 keep in mind that - 61000+ views and not too many are having an issue - most common mistake is adding notes to the wrong clip or channel, sometimes it's bad linking. If you can't get it working - use song mode - some people have mentioned that sending to the piano roll works - but it should not make any difference. If it works for me, it should work for everyone. There is no trick here - WYSIWYG.

  • @ste1438 yeah, I was having the same problem - automation clips not working in pattern mode. But listened to the advice in your comment and sent the note in the automation clip to the piano roll, and suddenly the automation clip started working in pattern mode. Bit strange, but got there in the end

  • This lesson 5 finally gave me the tool I needed [gating] to create awesome music that I was looking to do in the first place! Thank you so much for putting these tutorials on youtube! So helpful 5/5 stars from me! :)

  • Hi, I'm using the FL 10 Free Demo to follow along in your lessons and ran into a problem at the very end. I'm trying to crossfade and I'll follow all the steps correctly, but when I go to select the actual button that says "Crossfade with" it's grayed out. Help?

  • whoa nice intro visualizations! :)

  • He kinda sounds like Peter from Family Guy...~

    

  • Chopin is hot.

  • I've watched all the tutorials, I've really been working on my skills with fl studio, you rock dude. Tutorials could not have helped more.

  • great tutorials though, it's just that I wish there weren't so many gaps to be filled that I don't really understand

  • @Paspiedreamcast unfortunately - Thats endless - there will always be more that can be learned - hardware, plugins, theory, synth programming,FX, mastering, live recording, playing instruments, vocals/vocal FX... It really depends on how far you want to take it. Can't get hung up over it though.

  • @ste1438 thanks, I think I've got the hang of the basics and I can work from there to the more complicated stuff

  • this is really doing my head in, I just can't get round all the features I probably need and how to put it all together.

  • the chopin sounded flat and dead he really suffocated

    get it... suffocation prelude :D

    FL key is so mechanic even if i fix the velocity is there a better piano plugin?

  • Take a break? Did he do this live or what

  • made my head explode haha but thanks for the lesson

  • @AerDynamik i had the same problem were you clikcing on the yellow dot for your automation clip? if so thats why you have to clikc on the volume know to do it

  • Some problem that occured when working with automation clips: when I add formula controler it mutes, both on pattern and song mode, all my automation clips like they didn't exist. Please help me.

  • @AerDynamik The formula controller doesn't mute anything. Your problem occurred somewhere else. No way to know where you went wrong though.

  • hey can you help me out ..i have fl 10 and the for atomation clips is not where it should be...and I cant make it work..thanks great tutorials even if they are in 9 and somethimes is hard to follow, anybody nows where to find some new stuff tutorials of 10 ...thanks

  • thank you man.. i need these to learn FL studio, great share

  • do you have any other video for the Real Beginners beacause i didnt understand this one.

  • @Ridellzor Really? if you were watching from vid 1 you should. I am a beginner

  • Comment removed

  • guys, im not sure if i want to get fl studio or ableton live. can you guys tell me the up's and down's with each of the program if they got some time?=o and both skrillex and deadmau5 is using ableton! anyone that knows about some skilled dj's/ music producers that is using FL studio?

  • @zipproductionz try both decide for yourself. Some prefer FlStudio - others ProTools, Sonar, Reason, Cubase, Acid, or Ableton. Choose your poison,but if you don't try them out for yourself you will never know for sure.

  • @zipproductionz actually. deadmau5 uses FL. im not to sure about ableton for sure but i wouldnt say he doesn't but yes, deadmau5 does use FL. for a fact.

  • @keeranangel he has said on an interview that he uses fl studio for small loops and some cool editing, he also uses cubase, logic, and reason, but he's main thing is ableton live. i saw it on a interview:)

  • @zipproductionz ah. thats how i knew. lolz well yea im tryin to learn this for the same reason u are, then. im guessin :P house music and shtuff.. another one of my faves i been followin, uppermost, i know uses FL so i figured why not give it a try.

  • @zipproductionz ,it would be better to start studying in Ableton - as far as I heared it have a lot of posibilities for writing electroniq music, but FL is good too - I work in it and i am not dissapointed/Dedmau5 is working in FL Studio too. It is good in mastering and engeneering/

  • a lot of people combine FL+Ableton

    

  • @zipproductionz if it helps to know deadmau5 also uses fl studio to make quick loops. Think of this as kind of like the begginers beatmaking software even though people like deadmau5 still use it from time to time. If you are already experienced you should get ableton but i've downloaded ableton before and its pretty detailed and not as user friendly as this program until you know the basics.

  • @1093jmb oh, but i spoke to a dubstep producer who is pretty skilled, hes name is "the polymer drone", he has held live conserts and stuff, he uses ableton but he told me that the biggest stars of ukf dubstep and drum & bass is using fl studio for most of their work:O

  • @zipproductionz

    Basshunter and mau5 both used FL, basshunter moved onto Logic last year i think, mau5 is on ableton

  • @zipproductionz Arty is using fl studio and he's amazing!

  • im a pro now :D

  • i was not able to get it soundi in drop down list i put all, auto.clip nothing happened

  • brilliant tutorial!

    

  • ty man so helpful

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT CHOPIN PIANO PIECE IN THE BEGINNING??? PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY, BEEN LOOKING

  • I was having the same problem and was able to fix it by sending it to piano roll. Thanks guys!

  • Amazing tutorials, best i've seen. I know these videos will help me immensely and i've been using fl for 9 years.

  • Thank you! Helped me alot! <3

  • this work for me : click what ever chanal go chanal settings assign free mixer track - frutiy fast lp - last tweaked parameters and create automation clip - if you can open last tweaked parameters change a cutoff little and than you should

  • i have the same problem as @BRADM69 ...and i'm using fl studio 9...i dont know whats the problem and how to solve it.please help me if u can.....

  • @andreasdc1 Not in direct resonce to you, but others also. if it works for me, it should work for everyone. You need the latest version of FL Studio. The notion of switching to the piano roll to fix it is not necessary. This pretty simple - not sure why so many are having a problem here.

  • @ste1438 Sorry about all those typos, but you get the point.

  • @ste1438 just out of curiosity what is your occupation ?

  • @ste1438 when would you use gates and pulses dont you think they sound really choppy or is it just me

  • Another problem, fruity wrapper wasn't in my add channel option. I browsed more, and found it, but now nothing comes up when I use it. Just a toolbar, with no actual visual plugin. Any idea why?

  • @BRADM69 The wrapper is used by FL Studio to load plugins. It does do anything as channel.

  • @ste1438 Oh.. Well, I couldn't get that plugin, which I assume is fruity wrapper (since that's what you clicked), to show up when I chose the same option. Maybe its a .dll problem or something.

  • I have a problem. My main loop is linked to the automation fine (obviously), I followed the directions to a tee. Unfortunately, when I preview in pattern mode, the automation does not take effect at all. It only takes effect in song mode. Any reason why that might be?

  • @BRADM69 Are you using FL Studio 10? If you are, than you did something wrong along the way.

  • @ste1438 Nope, using FL studios 9, maybe that's the problem. Thanks.

  • @BRADM69 i have the same problem and im using fl studio 9 ..please if u find a solution please inform me - ill do the same......

  • @andreasdc1 Hey, apparently if you change the automation to piano roll it fixes it, though I haven't tested it yet

  • @BRADM69 Ya. It does...

  • @BRADM69 make sure the automation clip has an active notes in the pattern sequencer as well

  • @BRADM69 because automations only take effect in song mode

  • DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY THE "LINK TO CONTROLLER" OPTION AFTER ASSIGNING IT TO A AUTOMATION GATE SHAPE DOESN'T HAVE ANY AFFECT?? i.e. ( 21:13)

    PLEASE HELP ME....:(((

  • @mioumitsou YOU DIDN"T LINK IT RIGHT:((( DID YOU PRESS THE OK BUTTON WHEN YOU MADE THE LINK??

  • @ste1438 i have done exactly as the video proposed, but i dont have any changes... is there some feature that might have be activated that prevents this link?

  • @mioumitsou I saw the video. You need FLStudio 10. It wouldn't have worked the way you set it up anyway. You need to fill the automation clip with quarter notes (you only put one note in.). You changed the mapping formula of the automation clip instead of the linked controls too. You don't have to use the DX10 or 3xosc . I only used it to demonstrate automation and mapping formulas. I put an arpeggio on on the 3xosc and changed the main key too, but experiment with other instruments.

  • @ste1438 I chose the dx10 and 3xosc randomly. You would get better results if you used some of the newer synths. I should have done that myself, but at the time, I didn't want to waste time browsing through instrument patches. I just made do with what I selected.

  • once again you came through with another helpful video

  • i made my 1st song just using automation clips for volume control without using the standard pattern mapping. much better and dynamic. now want to explore more automation clips in midi controllers and FXs!

  • These are great tutorials, I just wish I stopped falling asleep during em =/

  • 141 sec intro ftw

  • massive help..thx

  • what is the name of that Chopin piece playing in the beginning?

    and what program did you use for that 3D box lighting up with the notes? Thanks!

  • Your tutorials are outstanding. Thanks a lot!

  • thanks for this amazing tutorial men !

  • I am not understanding why Fl Studio doesn't work with the aniimation when it's on pattern mode. It doesn work when its on playlist mode tho. Any ides why this happens? please help :D Thank you

  • nice video! have been following them and they really help for beginners

  • first off i want to thank you for the videos they have been highly helpful. Though would you say it be best to watch all the videos take notes and then go into FL and start to create projects while referring to notes and the videos, or would you say it is better to do each lesson with fl studio open doing what you are doing?

  • The last thing with custom (non-included) plugins was something I always wondered about how to do it :D Thanks alot!

  • thanx man

    

  • 3... 2... 1.

    Excellent.

  • Thank you soooo much for these beginner tuts! Watching your first video and YouTuber/Musician Ronald Jenkees made me get FL studio. I haven't slept for 3 days O.O Music is life and now I make it =D like Ronald says "just as long as you have fun making your music".

    Anyone know where I can hook up sytrus/nexus for a discount? no i dont do torrents/pirating.

  • Nice intro dude, That was awesome.

  • Hey i played that piece, nocturne 9 and rev etude during a recital once. Chopin is such a beautiful romantic composer. look up the gymnopedies by satie. you could easily do a intro with that piece.

  • Comment removed

  • im not quite getting the gist of controllers with automation clips, someone enlighten me?

  • You're the best

  • lol almost fell asleep during this tutorial.. not that youre boring to listen to or anything, its just so much to learn about fl

    and btw, thanks for actually making these tutorials they are great help :)

  • I have a little plus under my curser when I want to click a point on the automation clip? How can I delete the plus under the cursor??? PLEASE HELP

  • Brill tutorial, I was racking my head over the automation clips names, I only get it now the number after the shapes name is it note duration and the numbers on the end are probably the direction the shape is going in

  • Man you really helped me grasp some kind of hold to this software Peace and Blessings for having the Patience for this much Love Holla !!!!!!!!

  • Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin

  • I've been fartin around with FL studio for about 5 months now, and i now know about twice as much now as i did before i started watching this. Glad someone could help me :)

  • i just started producing like 2 months ago doing oldskool undergrounds beats, i'd appreciate if u check out my vids i got alot..& maybe drop some constructive critisizm/ advice, :)

  • To become a Musician you must listen a lot of music, watch tutorials and to have a little sense of hearing.

    That's my opinion.Great Tutorials!

  • wondering if there's a diff b/w creating a volume automation from the channel settings tab, or creating an auto clip from the mixer is fine too?

  • I thoroughly enjoyed all your tutorials. I am new to FL studio.I wanna thank u so much for this gr8 contribution of yurs .One  unrelevant question though what is the software you are using to make these videos

  • Comment removed

  • i can't add a control point by right clicking :(

  • Ok Tuto is Good but do u have to be musician or know at least music stuff to do beats and instrumentals ?

  • @MorockanMe You need to become a musician eventually - if you aren't one now. Learn some music theory Only my point of view, but I would recommend that people learn how to play some musical instrument, if they want to be a better artist. You miss out on a lot without that sort of experience. Memorizing music, Rhythm, arranging, dynamics, reading music, theory, and just appreciating music as a fine art.

  • Man you are a saint this is the ultimate tutorial series WOW you do so much GOOOOD to fruity dwellers all around GORGEOUS

  • The Automation clip only works when im in Song mode not Pattern mode.,

  • @goldenage101 You need to update FL Studio.

  • @ste1438 send it to the piano roll it will work :) million thanks STE ... u rocks man ... ur vedios is very helpfull ... nice work dude ... do u work as an arranger ??

  • @ste1438 Do i need to register with imageline to do that i have the xxl producer edition.

  • @goldenage101 send it to the piano roll it will work :)

  • @goldenage101 put the automation into piano roll it will work in the pattern mode :) enjoy

  • @goldenage101 put the automation into piano roll it will work in the pattern mode :) enjoy

  • @goldenage101

    I use the "edit events" feature for more small-scale modulation. Heh, put a low-pass filter on some sick bass, right click the frequency knob, click edit events, and then press the magic key combo: ALT+O. Maybe throw a bit crusher on that or something

  • thanks man!! claw is good! :D :D i'm trying to learn as much as possible from you :)

  • I also can only hear the Arpeggio and DX7 linked to the Square gate if I am only on the piano roll. How can I get it to work just on the step sequencer steve?

  • @JamesColeBeats1 You need the the latest beta version of FL Studio.

  • @ste1438 how do you paint(select) a lot of songs with just one click??? which button or key or whatever do you use?? its just anoying to paint one by one for me! please answer

  • In my FL studio Link to controller doesnt work. Hm.. I always hear only DX7 or Arpeggio. Its work only if i used Square as a piano roll.

  • In my FL studio Link to controller doesnt work. Hm.. I always hear only DX7 or Arpeggio.

  • i don't have the last thing that you show :( what's the name of that plugin?

  • @8St3fan8 It's a 3rd party plugin - It does not come with FL Studio. I only used that as an example for automating 3rd party synths. I got it from "ele4music" which seem to be no longer online.  Try KVRaudio for free synths though. There are better free synths out there.

  • @ste1438 thanks for the site! can you tell me which vsti is similar to the one you use in video?

  • @8St3fan8 As far as free synths- go to KVR at look for "refx beast". "Refx claw" is not similar, but worth getting too.

  • automation clip doesen't work with pattern mode.....

  • @8St3fan8 Yes -I have the beta - try to send it to the piano roll. You can get the Beta, but it expires. I always use the beta because it extends the life of the video. I have some features that aren't included in the public release. I am just so use to it that I'm not always aware of what some people will or will not have, otherwise I try to mention it.

  • @ste1438 thanks man!otherwise it isn't difficult work in song mode instead of pattern mode ;)

  • Thanks for this, This is where I usually lose interest because stuff just doesn't click for me.

  • Do I get ALL the features displayed here, and available with the DEMO?

    Where the hell can i get a free full version, where I live, buy official version, not an option..
