Just wanted to add, for 7:00 you can set "Don't initalize controls automatically" in General Settings > Advanced, so you can avoid that issue altogether.
@@inthemix the thing I said though is a little bit different if you still want the parameters to initialize when playing the song, which I personally prefer, you can just uncheck "Init song with this position" in the settings of the fader or whatever you have automated after deleting the automation clip I'm sorry if that information was unnecessary
A couple more tips: -Press F12 to close all windows. This is useful for cluttered projects. - Hold shift and click on anything on the playlist and drag it to create an instant copy -When using the slice tool use right click instead of left, that will delete the new slice I didn't know the hint bar tip, Thanks Michael!
No-one. That's a legit answer. The majority of learning comes from actually "doing" stuff, and videos like these are what enables trying in the first place.
Being a beginner is so tough and overwhelming! I literally hear the entire song in my head but somehow cant get the instruments to come together and achieve that.
Everyone even people who aren’t beginners have ideas in their heads and then they turn completely different when they try to put them into the daw. I’d guess that it’s pretty rare anyone gets their idea into the daw perfectly. They probably end up with some semblance of the idea and it turns into something else completely as you use the idea in your head to spark a new idea.
As beginner you explained this in a way I could actually understand and follow along, one of the best teachers I've seen on RUclips so far, nothing flies over my head
You're one of the most underrated music production or RUclips channels in general. Your videos are very formatted, educational, and well produced. I really appreciate what you do, and I wish you the best.
I've been using FL for about a decade, and had no idea about the always on background MIDI recording. This channel is one of the few where when I see "# essential tips for ______" there's a good chance I'm gonna find something actually unique and useful that I didn't already know. Thanks a lot for this.
7:50 You could just right click on the knob which is being automated and click on "Init song with this position" which indirectly does the same thing as you told(Basically a shortcut)
Michael you were the person I watched to learn how to use FL Studio, you made it SO SIMPLE. And you do all this for free!! It’s amazing! You deserve views in the millions
THAT FIRST TIP IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING TO KNOW THIS WHILE TIME! You have no idea how many ideas I loved but forgot right after playing it. Thanks a million for this video!
This video has single handedly answered a handful of issues I was having. As a beginner I cant thank you enough for taking the time and effort to create these video. I have recommended you to a couple of my friends. You are the closest thing to an actual wizard. Thanks again.
As a beginner, your videos are the best. I teach Adobe Photoshop, and like FL, there are lots and lots of little spots where menus hide and functions aren't intuitive. Often it is just experience that teaches us where these are. This sort of video really helps not go through the frustration since you've already been there and found the solution. Awesome.
Michael, thank you so much!! You have no idea how helpful this was! I always encounter obscure issues that I know should have a fix but they are hard to google and it’s just frustrating but you know exactly what we want to know! This was a mindblowing vídeo
"How to keep plugins on top"... won't lie I've been searching for that since ages now! Glad this vid popped in the rec and even more glad i watched it throughout!!
Thank you for this fantastic video! I'm a complete beginner to FL Studio, and your videos are de-mystifying it so well! I have been tearing my hair out about the 'detach all plugins' option for months! I cannot thank you enough for that! Keep up the brilliant work!
Man I think this is the most usefull video I've ever watched! I mean, all the tips are incredibly usefull and I almost didn't know any of them, but for god's sake, that deleting automation forever thing... Damn, it had been driving me crazy since I started producing 2 and a half years ago! Thank you so much!
Wow, I'm using FL Studio since 5 years and you are still impressing me with features I've never heard of before. Thank you Michael. PS. Because of your video I bought the Adam Audio A7X. That was the best decision I've ever made! Please continue making videos forever, you're really motivating me! 😀✌🏼
Quality of this channel is amazing. Good job Michael, you are a great teacher! Finding this channel is like finding a gold coin in a container full of garbage.
Désolé pour la langue utilisée mais... si j'avais eu pareils vidéos sous la main quand j'ai commencé à utiliser Fl Studio, il y a de nombreuses années, j'aurais beaucoup moins galéré. Merci à ce jeune homme très compétent de mettre son savoir faire à la disposition de tous. Cela est très généreux de sa part. Immense merci !
Some more tips - When slicing hold shift to make slicing heaps easier - when using select tool hold shift to select multiple sperate samples and clips throughout the project or melody - *knobs from third party plugins that dont have a right click automation option* ; fiddle with the knob for a moment then at the top of the screen middle of the taskbar theres a knob symbol click that and create automation. You can now automate that third party knob.
Tip #2 a mistake that tons of people make!!! the volume in the channel should be at the same level that FL studio gives u when you load you Serum for example (usually 80%, - 5db) , and then if you want to lower the volume, you can use the fader in the mixer ! super amazing tips!! pls do more of these :)
Man man man you are such a pro in doing these tutorials....CONCISE! .....It took me 3 years to learn Ableton,because it was not easy to find step up straight forward to the point instructions....with a little bit of dedication on my side ,I will learn FL studio in 3 weeks scrolling through your videos.
This definately has to be the most useful and relevant channel that exists on RUclips. Every time I click a video I learn something new. Keep up the good work Mike👏👏👏
I have another tip for searching samples which helped me a lot. There is a free plugin called 'ADSR Sample Manager'. You just have to add folders and samples can be find by name, bpm, key, tags, etc.. very usefull, i recommend it!
You’ve got the best FL Studio tutorials on RUclips! Would love a tutorial on how to install plugins. Would be great to know how you organize everything.
I already knew this tips, but one thing I found new and interesting- hint bar, in fact, it’s better to see all the parameters in the right place and on the big screen. Thank you)
Couple more tips: - Zoom to fit all notes in the Piano Roll - ctrl + right-click in an empty area of the Piano Roll (works with any tool already selected) - Really handy Piano Roll tools menu - hold middle-click then left-click or right-click in an empty area of the Piano Roll (for really fast tool switching, continue holding left/right-click after clicking it then hover over the icon for the tool that you want then release left/right click)
This is such a basic question, but I'd really like it one of your videos described the differences between: 1. Channel 2. Midi Channel 3. Mixer Track Thank you for your channel, it's the best.
i love your videos man... Im a young upcoming 17 year old producer from Botswana and im really learning a lot from your videos... keep em coming big man
I've downloaded FL studio few days back bcuz I've always wanted to produce music.. I'm 17 and have been learning guitar since i was 6yrs old. And your videos help me like crazy.. but most of the times i dp really get frustrated 😂 but you're a GOD to me!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The tip about the fader automation will save me from screaming. My issue is that the "Init Fader at this position" seems to rear its head on one fader or another. Maybe I touch it by accident, but now I know where to look to get rid of it. Again, you are making me love FL Studio again Mike. Keep it up Bro!!
I particularly like those dump score log and detach all plugins tips even though they're great tips. As a beginner those plugins disappearing in weird places gets confusing and annoying . Thank you !
Ohh man thank you so much !!! That volume automation clip was annoying me so much.. thank you so much man I can stress enough how awesome it is that your getting into these tutorials. What a headache I don't need to experience any more thank you thank you thank you !!!!
I using FL since 6 years and now i found out how i let the plugins stay on top. Thanks god and thanks In the Mix for this simple info i never found before in the internet
Hey Michael, I really appreciate what you do. I even went as far to make documents of tips, trick, definition and advice you have given this far. This channel has signal handedly made me a better producer and engineer. I just wanted to say thank you.
Copying automation clip states is cool, I didn't know about that. i was just linking multiple parameters to the same clip, but this lets you duplicate sections of it and re-use them in a way that overlaps, so what you did in this video is actually better.
this is awesome seeing I just literally bought FL Studio 20. Its been years sense I have used it, and watching this video isn't really where I should start lol. but I'm glad RUclips sent me here! Subscribed! now I just gotta try to make some decent tracks without a MIDI Keyboard, and get use to the piano layout on the standard keyboard layout.
Thank you brother... your videos are outstandingly helpful for amateur as well as middle guys working on FL. I always had that surface level knowledge in music production and i didn't really try to understand what's deep in it and how to make some best quality music... But when i saw your video, it makes me very passionate about music production... all the best....😄💘
As always, thank you for these videos. I am completely overwhelmed by how much is packed into this amazing FL Studio program, even if it is a trial version, so you are helping me familiarize myself in a way that isn't overwhelming.
As someone who is an advanced Ableton user and relies heavily on the session view (clip launching etc), a lot of the quirks in FL studio seem to me like they are avoidable and counter intuitive. My question is: what are the creative plus points to FL Studio? Is the a clip launch style approach to it or is it a strictly linear SPL style approach ? Great vids btw! Keep it up

I think that is a bit easier

With videos like these who’s ever gonna need official training?
So true!! Michael is the best teacher you could ask for!
No-one. That's a legit answer. The majority of learning comes from actually "doing" stuff, and videos like these are what enables trying in the first place.
@@nenissaK Agreed. Just do it!. stay hungry boys
@@nenissaK bullensperm. On a profesh level its a whole nother story
I've been alternating between Michael and ChukiBeats. 2 great teachers with totally different production perspectives
Being a beginner is so tough and overwhelming!
I literally hear the entire song in my head but somehow cant get the instruments to come together and achieve that.
I have great ideas but when I try to recreate them they sound like shit :D
This is exactly what's happening to me. ugghhhh...
Everyone even people who aren’t beginners have ideas in their heads and then they turn completely different when they try to put them into the daw.
I’d guess that it’s pretty rare anyone gets their idea into the daw perfectly. They probably end up with some semblance of the idea and it turns into something else completely as you use the idea in your head to spark a new idea.
I wouldn’t expect to completely overcome this. Rather just use it to your advantage to generate new ideas.
Yess, i face the same problem too
As beginner you explained this in a way I could actually understand and follow along, one of the best teachers I've seen on RUclips so far, nothing flies over my head
"Don't spend hours and hours, but just ages." Haha.
Great video! First tip is mindblowing.
You're one of the most underrated music production or RUclips channels in general. Your videos are very formatted, educational, and well produced. I really appreciate what you do, and I wish you the best.
Thank you so much for your kind words, that really lifted my spirits today :)
This was SUPERB ! .....& I've been producing with FL since 2012.
2009 , best program i ever bought
When you talked about deleting automation clips forever, i was literally crying tears of joy.
the mixer distortion demonstration was actually something i wasnt aware of. definitely will benefit me in the long run.
Thank you, you’re one of the main reasons why I started releasing original songs😁❤️
been using fl for around 2 years now and I learned a lot from this video. thank you so much for this!

bro you're literally the best teacher on youtube. you're so chill and i never get lost or confused. please keep doing what you're doing
7:50 You could just right click on the knob which is being automated and click on "Init song with this position" which indirectly does the same thing as you told(Basically a shortcut)
the automation clip part is like being haunted by a ghost that you thought you finally got rid of
Michael you were the person I watched to learn how to use FL Studio, you made it SO SIMPLE. And you do all this for free!! It’s amazing! You deserve views in the millions
Make unique (even faster method) ctrl+shift+c
My mind is now blown. Thank you so much!

Oh damn, finally some quicker solution. I had no idea
no funtion..;(
I always used the clone function to do that. Thanks mate for the info
When you said how to delete a automation forever, I almost start crying and clapping. Thank you a lot.
THAT FIRST TIP IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING TO KNOW THIS WHILE TIME! You have no idea how many ideas I loved but forgot right after playing it. Thanks a million for this video!

Oh my freakin god. Thank you for the " Actually delete automation clip's. "
I already knew this tips, but one thing I found new and interesting- hint bar, in fact, it’s better to see all the parameters in the right place and on the big screen. Thank you)
Killer on the first one. There’s so many lil thing I never learned because RUclips wasn’t even a thing

2. Midi Channel
3. Mixer Track

loved the clear and concise breakdown between the channel volume vs. fader gain! great example using the distortion fx.

Don’t sleep in these tips!! This is real solid fl studio information 💯 thank you
Bro! I've been trying to figure out the "Initialized Control" setting since I started making beats this past March. CLUTCH!

One FL to rule them all,
