    When I open the Synth, instead of using the GMS synth, try using a new synth called "FLEX". It sounds far better!

      Very nice explanatory video!
      Early on, You mention a tutorial You've made, concerning the audio setup. I can't seem to see it in Your description though?
      The reason for my asking, is due to crackling/distorting sound, whenever the drum/snare, or whatever is playing. This was the case off the top, when I installed FL studio (restart didn't help). I have a creative soundblaster z soundcard. I'm assuming it has something to do with this..
      Thx

      Hi,
      Is the master channel of the mixer peaking into the red? If you have any peaks over 0dB it will distort. Please do let me know, We will get to the bottom of this :)

    • @Cybersprite2008
      @Cybersprite2008 6 лет назад +2

      In The Mix If the master channel is located in the top, next to the counter, then no - IT stays within acceptable limits, when I play some of the demos. I don't know if this is a clue, but when i pause or stop the music, there's an echo which very slowly fades out.
      I just changed the Device from asio to SPDIF-out (Sound blaster z) This improved the sound quality dramatically. I think this did the trick!
      Thank you for your reply!

    This is actually a very good and straight forward tutorial. No having me ask questions or guess, no over-explaining elements, and brings all the different elements together in a language that is universal. I've seen plenty of DAW tutorials being new, but this is by far the best so far, and makes me confident about using the DAW the first time.

In five minutes you gave me a "eureka" moment. I hope this strong message of eternal gratitude warms your heart and brightens your day.

      Hey everyone, I feel disappointed in myself for this having to be the case, but I feel the need to be honest. Life stuff got me down hard during the time I wrote this comment and shortly thereafter, and I allowed time to slip me by, and didn't pursue making music. I know that it's super disappointing, and I feel like I've almost lied by keeping this comment up and letting others see it, but I'm not going to delete it because I know 300+ people resonated with how I felt at that exact moment. Genuinely, I am sorry I let you down. Even though I feel guilty, I feel like being honest here is going to be the most meaningful.
      I guarantee this - I am going to pursue music one way or another. It is my dream to make art that inspires people and shows them so much of the beauty of life. Even if I let myself slip, that won't keep me down forever. Thanks for asking about how things went, and I will respond to you all in 1 month to see how things have evolved if I remember or if someone is interested. My failure is just that - mine. But I know you all who are passionate about making music have the exact same capacity I do to learn this software. So go do what you love, and I will find my way back there too!

    I bought FL producer version and despaired. I couldn't even find a menu. No delete, go back and years away from saving.
    I moved to Cakewalk but found it more picturesque and not the same high end quality. Back to FL and stumbled on these tutorials. This very video is the key to the door. I'm in now and learning. Exactly what I wanted. The snag with this DAW business is the terminology. It's alien to me. Pattern and all the rest of it is a change to everything I called things before and now have a reminder check sheet beside me to help me convert to DAW speak. Turns out I knew what path I wanted to take but it was all coded to FL DAW speak. No samples just constant process routine over and over untill I can confidently open from turning on my computer and swiftly open all required and load (arm, tweak, adjust) basic tunes and segregate to work each channel individually.
    A life ring flung to me a drowning man in a vast ocean of DAW.. I've now learned to doggy paddle and soon be taking my first strokes to swim.
    Great fluent articulate tutorials. Subscribed and downloaded as a concise reference. Many thanks.

      For example, finding out which notes fit into a particular chord (chords make up the basis of most music) - you don't need to even know the notes, just keep experimenting until the notes harmonise and sound good together.
      I'd recommend going through a piano theory video on YT and making notes, there's a good 2h30 one which sounds looong but it will teach you a lot of the fundamentals of piano. You don't even need to sit through the entire thing to get a good grasp on the basics.

    I was given FL Studio as a gift in 2011, and up until recently, I was so overwhelmed by the complexity of it that I never got past just using it to multi-track record. I would play with an effect or two on my recordings, but I never touched the piano role or the step sequencer. Never created a pattern ever. Not one. I've watched dozens of videos lately and have learned all kinds of interesting stuff about mic placement, effective EQing, compression, and recording live music in general... but none of them explained the sequencer, and how patterns work like this one just did. I saw the sequencer at the start, but it would quickly disappear (I never knew about 'detaching' something either - I assume that works with Edison too) and I never thought about after that. Now, at this moment, I am inspired! I am going to go make my first pattern! My first beat!! Here I go! Wish me luck.

    Just came here to say that gpt-4 told me this was the best possible video to see for learing the basics of FL Studio.

    i love the way you explain things. for some reason, my brain is weird and when i don’t understand things it can seem way too overwhelming to take in information properly without having some proper guidance. anyway i’ve watched multiple beginner tutorials for FL studio but none of them really explained them in the way i was hoping for until i found this. thank you so much for the informative content you did a great job
