just want to say something about velocity. So the velocity does not equal volume. I'd rather say that the lower the velocity is, the softer the attack gets. Of course lower attack will (especially in short sounds, like snares, hats, etc.) make the sound quieter, but then increasing the volume can create new sounds. Playing with the velocity can really chance the sound of snares or hats, make them softer or harder. Little tip: if you want to make your hats sound more natural, lower the velocity of every 2nd hit; it creates more "groove" and swing by itself. TL;DR: velocity ≠ volume hope that helps some new producers on their way! and keep up the great content man🙌🏼 (and sorry if the english wasn't good, i'm german)
@@pepe9022 Hi, in this particular case of a non multi layered sound, the velocity does equal the volume. The attack of the sample is identical across all velocity values besides the amplitude of the waveform. However, an important point you were getting at, is that on many synths and drum machines,a higher velocity will so alter the sample layering and the attack/release of a sound. So it's well worth experimenting with and finding what sounds amazing to your ears. Thanks for the comment :)
Hello, I'm a Chinese RUclips fan. I think your video is very good. Do you want to reprint it to the video website in China? I'll point out the original video address and the author's. I like your video very much. Thank you for your teaching
I think FL is in Belgium. He might not be fluent in French, and they may not be good at explaining their concepts in English. He could literally package these videos & sell them, but that'd minimize his mission to grab the 💰. There are tons of guys doing intricate editing, but he's actually walking you through each step and feature like he's learning on the fly and sharing it. It works!!💪💪💪
"Different people, different workflows" Just right man! I like how you don't put out your ideas and tutorials as the one truth, but rather as an opinion, one way of doing it. Very enjoyable content as always, keep it up mate!
! TIP ! - FL Sudio now features an even easier & faster method for transposing the key of multiple MIDI Patterns all at once. Just hold down 'CTRL' (and/or 'SHIFT') and 'left-click' each (or all) of the MIDI patterns within the playlist's *'Picker Panel'* that you wish to transpose. Then, simply 'right-click' anywhere within your selection and select 'transpose' from the 'pop-up menu'. Enter the value you wish to raise or lower the pitch by in semitones (inlude a minus sign '-' before a value, to pitch shift down). This new method allows you to change the key of all MIDI Patterns in a project in seconds, bypassing the previous requirement of manually changing each individual pattern's key within the Piano Roll one-by-one.
@@jameslittle6280 Hahaha! Tell me about it. The 'transpose' shortcut function is a pretty recent addition I believe. So it was an easy one to miss. It will come in handy next time, ay? 👍😉
From an old fart who tinkers with FL Studio when he gets chance, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for this, and all, your videos. They are consistently some of, if not *the*, best tutorials available...really clear, really straightforward and just a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
This should be where I "begin again"... Again, premium stuff, very clear and helpful. Finding your channel was cool but subscribing to it is the best thing I could've done that day. Michael Wynne🙌🙌 salut man.
I’m a fervent user of Ableton Live, but I really appreciate a lot of the capabilities that FL Studio has especially with the later versions. I honestly haven’t thought of using loops for inspiration to be really helpful, and it’s something people should consider not only as a novice but in the case they hit a bit of a road block musically. Thanks a lot for the video, I learned quite a bit here! :)
Actually bouncing the MIDI information to audio is really helpful for the workflow and processing them is a lot easier too...so great information Michael...thanks
Your vids are great man. I'm a Reaper user but am battling to also be fluent FL20. The tip at 12.30 was EXACTLY what I wanted to know how to do. Thanks for the effort you put into these. Best FL vids I've found
I have to disagree a little with some parts. For creating drum loops, channel rack is better, the part with the transients is easier: put the sample 1 step before and the shift it with the fine time shift on the misc settings tab. Also you can use slicex for re arrange and send each slice to different channels in the mixer, and you have all the piano roll options for control of velocity, pan, shift and more. So you don't have to create any automation clips. Another thing is layering, to layer drums in playlist is really messy, with channel rack is a bliss. In general I think that stick with MIDI is usually better, audio clips are more suitable for voices and maybe fx in my opinion. Great video Michael as always!
Thanks Oblaid. I just think that aligning transients and layering is so easy for us experienced users but I hear so many beats where a beginner is convinced, and I mean convinced, that their beat is in time because it's on the right steps. But I know it's off time. This is why I talked about it, I see it maybe 4 or 5 times a week in beats that are sent to me

Hey Michael Nice, clean & informative video as always. I never miss any of your videos :) I just wanted to add a quick tip. If we want to adjust the midi notes by few semitones up or down, we can do that from the picker panel as well. Just right click on your pattern in the picker panel and select the transpose option and but the semitones values in +ve or -ve as required and you are done. Cheers!!
Thanks Michael,always ur tutorials are worth,and u come up with new tectics and Technics,your amazing boy,ur genious man,much love from East Africa Tanzania,no single infected up to this moment.🇹🇿😋🎼👆
I'm a MIDI guy and even if I technically knew all this stuff, this video is really interesting because it just showed me another way of seing things. And obviously I'm sure it is a really helpful video for those who are getting started so yeah, great video, keep it up !
10:45 I work in FL mainly through clips. With snaps and claps instead of putting the trigger on the 2 & 4 (or whatever beat you have them on), i put the trigger one peg back. Then i go into the "Miscellaneous Functions" tab for the sample. Under the "Time" section I use the "slide" option to push the sample forward. 100% is 1/16th note, or one peg of the sequencer. I have found for a lot of claps and snaps you'll want to stay in the value range of [ 75% - 98% ]. Anything less than 75% starts to sound like an echo.
Thanks! I know that this video is almost a year old but I am brand new to FL studio and this helped tremendously! I've seen other videos teaching beginners but it seemed like they were not for beginners the way they taught it. But you made it very simple and enjoyable to learn. I booked marked this for future use and I also subscribed to you channel. I will defiantly be checking out some more of your videos. Thanks again!
Hi Michael you such a great asset to RUclips community so advices are so helpful always my friend thanks o have learnt so many basics from your channel thumbs up brother.
I have a old CPU, so I'm using one project to make the midi and export all instruments to mix in another project where I use just mix plugins like eq, compressor and things like this. Thanks for the video about your template. I didn't use it, but I learn how make my own templates. And thanks for all amazing videos that help me with everything here. 🤪
Your videos have been a blessing for me. They are really well explained and highly detailed, always going a little beyond your main subject in the video with really nice tips, which for beginners like me is really helpful. I've been a Reason user for like 15 years or so and starting from scratch in FL took a bit of adjustment from me lol. So I just wanna thank you and say that I love your channel!
I really appreciate the work you’re putting in your videos ❤️. And I wish that you could start a series on GarageBand because not all of us can afford fl studio.
Thanks for all this information on all your videos. I've watched a lot of channels and I think yours is probably the most in depth and understandable one out there. Keep up the good work! Subscribed!
Love your videos bro! Super clear, informative, and straight to the point! You have helped me BIG TIME. Now after only 3 weeks of producing, and watching maybe a total of 15 of your videos, I have a very clear understanding. I am able to jump right in crafting my sound 🙏 thanks man your videos are much appreciated
Note from a producer, If you play and record a bass line on an acoustic guitar. So you have a printed sample of an acoustic guitar playing a bass lick, and you pitch shift it down an octave, you can get a really cool stand up bass type of sound. Before I had a bass I would record my bass lines via an acoustic guitar and pitch it down an octave and it was a really nice stand up bass effect.
A bit of an edit in Ctrl+B step When you do so, most probably of your sound is not fully got in a set of range of bars, this step will cause one of your audio clip say kick go off the range of bars. But if u use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V then you manually adjust the clip with it's perfect timing. It might take some time but your timing will always be perfect. (Idk if you are getting what I'm saying but I definitely mean it)
Hi Michael I'm new to all this I find your videos the best but it's difficult I'm a musician for over 30 years I'm now only trying to teach my self to record my guitar thank you for your work 🎸
Bruh . . . This was so helpful! There were some little tips in here that were real eye openers for me and I think they'll make my process and workflow so much better! So far I've been just fiddling around with the demo, but I definitely think I'm treating myself to FL studio this Christmas lmao
Great video! 😋 I mainly use the piano roll for nearly everything but crashes and sweeps because they're easier to arrange in the playlist.👍 Thanks for the control B shortcut, I now feel like a total beginner not knowing it 😂
I like to render all the tracks separately just before mixing, it is well known that most DAWs reduce audio quality for MIDI sequences, for performance reasons. This is why songs end up sounding different after rendering without this technique, specially basses and highend.
When you render your midi tracks to audio clip, do you keep the effects on them ? Like EQ, Reverb, compression, etc. And if I understand well, since its before mixing, the volume adjusting is done after the rendering ? Thanks :)
My question was answered when you mentioned about having a music theory background. Hahahahaha I used to play for rock shows and since the quarantine, I started listening to some trap stuff.
A small correction. To transpose tue entire pattern you don't need to select the whole thing. Simply hold shift and press the arrow keys. Other than that, this was an awesome video cleared up quite a lot of confusing problems I had previously.
Awesome video bro! I use a combination of midi and audio. For drums and percs I almost always drag everything directly into the playlist. I usually load hi hats in the channel rack and then edit them in the piano roll. I usually prefer editing timing and velocity by hand in the piano roll. For instruments I create midi and usually leave it that way unless it’s using too much cpu or I just really want to experiment with the audio and get creative (I highly recommend experimenting with audio in the playlist because sometimes you can come up with really cool stuff that you wouldn’t be able to with just midi)
Honestly it sounds like our workflows are so similar, imagine a Collab? Also I totally owe you a call, sorry for missing your message last week! Hope you're well
►Time Stamps
1:20 - CPU and Ram Performance

Note from a producer,
If you play and record a bass line on an acoustic guitar. So you have a printed sample of an acoustic guitar playing a bass lick, and you pitch shift it down an octave, you can get a really cool stand up bass type of sound. Before I had a bass I would record my bass lines via an acoustic guitar and pitch it down an octave and it was a really nice stand up bass effect.
And that my friend is for newbies
Hahaaa
Since when
As a rule
All what u serve here is a treasure for all of us
Keep it up
God bless
Best for beginners. You nailed it with this video!!!
Some of this info is useful for other daws. CPU usage especially, thanks👍
one of the most informative channels in youtube that u MUST subscribe to . thx mate
I'm no beginner(2 years), but I still learned like 2 things from this video, and I KNEW I would; because it's Michael. :-)
A bit of an edit in Ctrl+B step
When you do so, most probably of your sound is not fully got in a set of range of bars, this step will cause one of your audio clip say kick go off the range of bars. But if u use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V then you manually adjust the clip with it's perfect timing. It might take some time but your timing will always be perfect. (Idk if you are getting what I'm saying but I definitely mean it)
Hi Michael
I'm new to all this I find your videos the best but it's difficult I'm a musician for over 30 years I'm now only trying to teach my self to record my guitar thank you for your work 🎸
Man, your tutorials are so helpful. Awesome work and thank you.
Fantastic video on an interesting philosophical dilemma of music production.
Cheers! As a newbie using FL this was very informative.
I'm glad it helped you Peter!
Ctrl B has changed my life.
Bruh . . . This was so helpful! There were some little tips in here that were real eye openers for me and I think they'll make my process and workflow so much better!
So far I've been just fiddling around with the demo, but I definitely think I'm treating myself to FL studio this Christmas lmao
Great video! 😋
I mainly use the piano roll for nearly everything but crashes and sweeps because they're easier to arrange in the playlist.👍
Thanks for the control B shortcut, I now feel like a total beginner not knowing it 😂
A question I had for sure. Awesome video as ever
so much information to digest as always I love it.
your videos are of high quality. I really learnt a lot from u. thx
Amazing video, you are the best! Thanks a lot for all these videos!!!
I like to render all the tracks separately just before mixing, it is well known that most DAWs reduce audio quality for MIDI sequences, for performance reasons. This is why songs end up sounding different after rendering without this technique, specially basses and highend.
When you render your midi tracks to audio clip, do you keep the effects on them ? Like EQ, Reverb, compression, etc. And if I understand well, since its before mixing, the volume adjusting is done after the rendering ? Thanks :)
best videos on RUclips. Thank you!
My question was answered when you mentioned about having a music theory background. Hahahahaha I used to play for rock shows and since the quarantine, I started listening to some trap stuff.
Well this was just unbelievably helpful as usual. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us all
Was always wondering if you'd ever make a video involving exactly this. Perfect.
A small correction. To transpose tue entire pattern you don't need to select the whole thing. Simply hold shift and press the arrow keys. Other than that, this was an awesome video cleared up quite a lot of confusing problems I had previously.
So Usefull!! 😊
Your tutorials have great content and value! Keep at it 🙏
I love your channel ❤️
Cool video man. Thanks alot. I will use more audio clips after this video.
Bro u r the best when it comes to fl studio tutorials, u have helped me a lot
Awesome video bro! I use a combination of midi and audio. For drums and percs I almost always drag everything directly into the playlist. I usually load hi hats in the channel rack and then edit them in the piano roll. I usually prefer editing timing and velocity by hand in the piano roll. For instruments I create midi and usually leave it that way unless it’s using too much cpu or I just really want to experiment with the audio and get creative (I highly recommend experimenting with audio in the playlist because sometimes you can come up with really cool stuff that you wouldn’t be able to with just midi)
Honestly it sounds like our workflows are so similar, imagine a Collab? Also I totally owe you a call, sorry for missing your message last week! Hope you're well
In The Mix dude collab would be EPIC. It’s all good I know how it goes I owed you from like 3 weeks ago hah
This is my top 3 RUclips channel!!thanks!
