Silly me...
I had uploaded before the unedited video... sorry about the hassle for everybody having already looked into it.
This is the edited version!
Just in case, you can lock the node vertically in the automation clip by first selecting the node and then use Ctrl
@@omnifold2005 Yes, thx for this correction... I again missed the obvious... bad research from my side 🙂
sir sir sri how did you get square notes?!?!?!?!
@@flstudiotricks6903 Keep them coming don't worry about the small stuff.
@@OMNICHROMATICA Go into the menu of the piano roll (little triangle symbol on the top left of the PR Editor) > View and untick the 7th entry from the top which says "Rounded"
Awesome how quickly they updated the documentation!
Yes, that amendment to the text in the user manual is a much clearer description of how to use this functionality. I can imagine many users previously overlooking this. I discovered it myself, purely through experimentation with pressing various key modifiers at different times, while performing mouse actions within the piano roll.
I'm pretty sure the multiple selection point axis-constricted key modifiers were included with the Automation clip editor at its introduction, or at least during the public beta testing phase of that editor. It's one of the reasons I now much prefer to edit automation points within the editor, rather than in the playlist timeline clips. As you get more accurate control for making fine adjustments to single or multiple node points.
There are so many little-know gestures, that many users are unaware of. Some of my favourites include...
Piano roll:
• Hold right mouse button while scrolling the mouse-wheel (up/down) to quickly cycle through all the tools.
• Hold middle mouse button (i.e press the mouse-wheel) and then click either right or left mouse button - to bring up the local piano roll menu (saves having to move the mouse to the menu, and brings the menu to wherever your mouse cursor currently is.
• Holding ALT key - to temporarily suspend any snapping settings for fine adjustments - while either placing new notes, or moving existing notes, or while adjusting the length of noes.
• Holding ALT key - and scrolling mouse-wheel UP/DOWN - while the mouse cursor is placed over notes, to adjust the currently selected note parameter value.
What I value most in your videos is that they come from a real user, dealing with issues of implementation (or understanding) that most of us struggle with. And your explanations are always on point. Thank you again and keep up the good work!
I've been using FL since 2008, I know didn't know this at the time, but I also don't remember a time when I didn't use control and shift to restrict note movement. It is a very useful feature!
I'm glad you're back, please stay!!
I'm sure he'll make more videos, once Image-Line start to deliver the features he himself is more excited about. They will come ... eventually. 😂
man this really saves me a bit of a headache
Breakpoint axis-locking has been part of FL Studio for a lot longer than v.20. It was available in MSEGs, like Envelope Controller, Sytrus, Harmor, etc. In all envelope editors, you can add ALT to the key command to toggle grid snapping too.
I'd really love to add those keys that light up to my inerface! It woud be awesome for streams and lesson teaching!
Thank you for the tut! Great tut!!! and... Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!
Long time no see !!!
If you click and hold just the node that you want to drag up and down from Playlist view you need to just click and hold the node then press ctrl and drag up and down. Same thing.. It works here.
can confirm
Appreciate the trick! Thank you!
i know you
the true FL Studio Tricks is back, yay
Welcome back
happy you are back :)!
Very useful, thank you 😺
Love yah videos
👍
Dumb question but is there a solve for keeping fine movements on the line?
If you're referring to snapping: Hold alt while dragging, to (un)engage it. If you need finer control: zoom in, before you start your dragging. In the automation curve editor you can zoom in a lot (vertically and horizontally) but also in the playlist you can make one track fill half the screen height. Last bet is right clicking a node and choosing to type in the value as a number with a couple of digits of precision.
I know the hot keys for zooming in vertically/horizontally as muscle memory, and can't recall them precisely, but almost all of them are a combination of modifier keys (ctrl, alt or shift) and a mouse wheel action (scrolling it or clicking and dragging it). Also I like to scroll and zoom horizontally in the playlist in one go using mouse wheel click and drag on the playlist scroll bar: Move left and right to go left and right; Move up and down to go in and go out (zoom). Once you get used to it you can jump anywhere in the project in no time to any zoom level you want.
Hope there was something helpful for you in there.
@@TheBigLou13 💎💎 respect. I prefer using the scroll bar method as well.
This trick bothered me a lot, Now I came to know. I am so happy thankyou so much 🙏 Guru ji 🧡🤍💚
