this genuinely should have more than 10k views this was so fantastically articulated i wish you success in the future and will push your vids for the algorithm
This is legit an absurd quality conten. It's a shame it doesn't have more views. I'm glad I've found your channel, as thanks to you I've just made my first beat
I am actually a beginner, I recently just bought a new laptop to dedicate my time to learn and produce beats. And I will say this was far by the best informative beat producing video for beginners like me. You spoke very precisely and went through pretty much the majority of the tools that confused the heck out of me. Thank you very much! I would love to see more videos like these.
Glad I could help! Keep on learning and making mistakes, that’s how you grow. I don’t make music anymore, I focus on film now, but keep coming back and asking questions, I’m very active in the comments!
bro hands up this is the best fl studio beginners tutorial ive ever seen, like ive been trying to learn it for like 1 year but ive tried many tutorials from busy work beats, in the mix, freecodecamp and many others but all of them start explaining alot of stuff(not saying they are bad or anything) rather than just getting to making a beat, thanx man, watching you i made my first ever beat
Idk if you're amazing at dumbing things down or if I just got less dumb, but damn i remember when I first wanted to make beats around 3 years ago just looking at a DAW overwhelmed me and now that I've seen this video i feel extremely confident about FL Studio. I feel like other channels are either painfully boring or expect you to have a lot of prior knowledge but you really stripped it down to the basics. I salute you.
Thank you for your comment! I really wanted to make a video that I wish I could’ve seen when I started because what you said is true, the other videos are too complicated. Glad I could break it down for you, drop any questions you have here
Dude you explain so well and make it easy to understand, thank you for putting in the time and the work to help us beginner producers out here. I can tell you're gonna go far in life, you've got your head on your shoulders. Good luck on your journey!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words and well wishes! I remember what it was like starting out, having to scour RUclips trying to teach myself, so I’m glad I could put it all in one place! I’ve transitioned out of music and into film but will always be telling stories in some way!
Really wanna say thank you fam had massive troubles getting into the wave / feel for things with your help i was able to finish my first beat massive blesses fam keep up the grind.
dude I aint even finish the video yet and you are explaining everything so well and your explaining it as if you were in our shoes.you got my like.thank you for your service
if i could i would give you 1M views because you helped me so much and finally i can do 808 without thinking it’s so off. thank you so much and keep it up! just made my first beat thanks to you !!:)
Thank you, I've always felt very intimidated by FL Studio and other music production software for a very long time and the concepts behind music production, which made it very hard to get into music production because I have no clue where to start. This video broke down some of those barriers and made it feel less intimidating, and it was easy and enjoyable to follow along, I even felt comfortable enough at certain parts to kinda do my own thing! I think I'm gonna try and continue to learn how to produce my own music, I don't want to make hip-hop or trap but this definitely taught me some fundamentals. This is a great gateway into the world of music production, and I think I'm gonna keep exploring....
This is really helpfull, only thing im confused about is on the keyboard you have got like D5, C6 on every key. I only have that on some of them.. Is there a way to fix this?
I'm interested in lrecording custom sounds through an audio interface., like for example playing an electtric guitar but having some kind effect to make it sound like an acoustic in the recording. Do you know how to do this?
@@directedbypreston it was a really good tutorial and right after copying the beat from it I went straight to make my own and for someone who has never made a beat before your tutorial its pretty fire >:3
How do you get the side options where you know the kits are at but all the other ones because there not popping up? if you can help I will appreciate it.
Appreciate it man, just got fl studios today and im keen to try these methods, anyway you find all your shortcuts easily? I have trouble remember all of them? cheers!
Please teach me how to use FL studio and record and also how to use FL studio for mixing and mastering,I have a studio in my house but I'm trying to fix my Mike so I can also start recording on FL studio but it's not working,they said I need to download a driver and I don't even know how to do that
Hey, I am doing everything correct as you say but when I put on the channel rack the kick, the whole beat mutes and I cannot fix it I tried everything I dont know if it is kick's problem or it's something else. Please help it has happened so many times...
I noticed that my duration or whatever is just set at 1.01 so that it stretches past the bar and I have to manually reset it if I want it to line up. Do you have any advice on how to fix this
How long did it actually took to make your first beat and first good beat how do you decide which sound goes with what? Since there are so many sounds how do you know which sounds to use?
It took about an hour to make my first one. I used a video on “how to make a Drake type beat.” There are a lot of sounds and as you get better you will know which to do for whatever type of beat you need to make. For now, stick to the ones that you like the most, that’s how you find your unique style; whatever resonates with you!
how do i sperate things ? like i have some chords and then a main melody both done on fl keys it just links them all together, its separated on the pattern track but i cant sperate it on the mixer
@@directedbypreston nah bro i mean theres only one fl key thing on there so your saying put 2 fl keys on the pattern track 1 for the main melody one for chords ???
If you want to, I don’t remember how I did it in the video but you can do it any way that you want. If that doesn’t answer your question let me know I’m here to help
@@directedbypreston thanks bro, I’ll do some research part of me is thinking maybe u can’t it has to be to different plugins idk I’ll try find out, great video btw underrated as hell
Yo, first of all, thanks for the video, it really helped me. Then, quick question for the piano roll. I probably changed some color settings, but I don't know how to change it back. The problem is that I don't have horizontal separation with a light and darker gray for the white and black keys. Do you know how I can change that back ?
Listen to how some of your favorite songs introduce different sections. Look up how to make a “delayed drop,” mess with hi hat patterns, strum mode on chords, etc.
If you would like to add a shortcut go to "options" then click "file settings" and click the folder icon to select the folder you would like to make a shortcut for. You can shortcut your own kit folder or the one in the description.
You can download the folder in the description. Once it’s downloaded right click on it and click extract all. Once you have your new folder, go to FL studio and click options > file settings. Click a folder icon and find the kits file. Let me know if that works
@@directedbypreston and bro can you make another tutorial on this type of beat ruclips.net/video/8QDZaAFwhAE/видео.html&ab_channel=Septfree appreciate it!
Great video! You don't have to excuse yourself with "I know this is confusing right now" so often. If you feel you're explaining something in a way your audience can't follow, take a breath and try to elaboprate. Why wouldn't we understand what you're saying? You're doing a great job, thanks for creating that video!
I’m glad this was helpful and made it easy for you, I wanted to make something that thoroughly explained because it was hard to find this when I started!
The silence of realization after the words, "meat of your beats", and backing up to reword things. 😂 Thank you for the video, I appreciate the information 😊 ❤
Hello, what other resources should I use for my first beat? I want simple explanations of drum patterns etc, or is it best to just watch a variety of beat videos?
Mine doesn’t work the same unfortunately. I click control and shift but when I go to drag it just changes the cords back green. It doesn’t drag out. This is beyond confusing. I’ll literally pay someone $1000 to teach me how to use this. I’m getting very frustrated
@@ryanfujimura8742 keep going man. your music might not sound how you want it to sound but the more beats you make, the more you're improving. don't make too much tho, we all need to live 😅 good luck
Also you're the only one I've found who's mentioned the ctrl+mouse to zoom, I've been trying to figure it out. Thank you.😊
Thanks for mentioning that!

Hello, what other resources should I use for my first beat? I want simple explanations of drum patterns etc, or is it best to just watch a variety of beat videos?
The best way to learn is by searching “how to make ____ type beats fl studio” and fill the blank in with an artist you are trying to emulate
so how can you open your beat again after you export it?
Unfortunately you can't with the free trial version.
Mine doesn’t work the same unfortunately. I click control and shift but when I go to drag it just changes the cords back green. It doesn’t drag out. This is beyond confusing. I’ll literally pay someone $1000 to teach me how to use this. I’m getting very frustrated
Did you solve that problem?
