Thanks ❤

[@inthemix]

You're welcome! I hope these features are useful. @@BKHATI21

One things that I hate on piano roll, I can't figure out how to fix it. But when you go to put in a new note next to another note and all the of sudden, your cursor changes to stretch and you can't put a new note next to the other note.

[@AmonMusic]

Been an FL Studio user for 5 years now. I would have never got to where I'm at today, without your tutorials and advice. You are seriously the most informative channel out there. If I owned Image Line, I'd be paying you to make the official FL Studio Tutorials. Living legend, thank you for everything.

[@inthemix]

Thank you so much! Funnily enough, I did actually work with them to make some videos a few years ago but it took too much away from my own channel and professional work. We created some really cool videos together!

[@trumansienicki]

Michael, I just want to say, that without you and your one-of-a-kind channel, I would never be in the place I am today musically. I have been subscribed to you for as long as I can remember, and still am for obvious reasons! It has been awesome to see your channel grow and continue making great, high-quality, educational music production content to this day. Keep it up, man!

[@john_smith_john]

This isn't remotely one of a kind lol

[@damiana5268]

One thing that is rarely mentioned is the very well written manual. FL studio has always had a great help file that is always being updated. Includes diagrams and well written descriptions of all the features, and some even include example uses one would overlook or not think of. It is based online now cause its grown with every update, but it can be downloaded as an offline file if wanted. Its great for learning everything FL has to offer

[@dyn.theartist]

I was just telling my friend about the manual last night. It’s the best tool in FL lol

[@Ass2xSin]

As a technical writer (day job) who produces music for hobby (and maybe even as a sideline someday), I felt seen and recognized because of this comment. Thank you. 🥹

[@TophtheSmith]

Also? Some of them are just fun to read, ex. Autogun help file points out that you can't try all the sounds since it would take over a century.

[@boffyrox2]

Hey Michael! Wanted to reach out and express thanks for the non-stop excellent FL content. Theres so many subjects that many can't explain simply, and you've managed to strip away every ounce of confusion in the process. Keep killing it and I look forward to reaching out one day for mastering services when I start releasing music 😎

[@inthemix]

I'm so happy to have helped. Do send me an email when your mix is nearing completion and I can give some feedback before mastering too. Let me know if there are any other topics you think I've missed or could shine some light on.

[@chemica]

Always enjoy your content bro, keep it up!

[@TierHarribel]

Babe wake up, another Michael video just dropped

[@hinomemusic]

Hey Vsauce, Michael here.

[@Frenchcoresvp]

Really useful tips for FL , thanks a lot for your work man , espically the mixing tutorials. Without your channel , my mixing skills would be very low , keep up the good work 🔥

[@markoapokalypse1336]

first time commenting on here: my ABSOLUTE favorite function is the plus symbol on the top left of the arraignment window. left click to open and create a plugin track, right click to record live audio.

[@miRogMusic]

The edison recording backup trick is so simple that it's brilliant. definitely my favorite takeaway here

[@nezzguitarmusic6071]

Hey Michael! The text to Chords feature is really a game changer. I usually start the project with chords on my guitar. This will ease copying them on the piano roll. Thank you. Greetings from Rwanda.

[@johnnyeproductions]

Throughout my career I have often come back to tips and tricks you have posted as they are some of the most easiest, digestible and knowledgeable tutorials for FL Studio there is on here! Thanks for all the hard work you do to help others! Even tho I have been signed to big labels, done quite a bit... you can never learn too much! I still spend no less than 2-4 hrs a week just learning, or watching others produce, or sound design tutorials. It all helps!

[@richardsmusic5577]

Thanks for everything Michael. Your tutorials are very easy to follow and extremely helpful. I find myself re-watching a lot of your uploads right before i start to work. You are undoubtedly the best teacher of FL studios 👍

[@pick_nark]

I had no idea the text to chords thing existed. That is so much easier than trying to use those chord stamps in the piano roll.

[@TrakLejendBeatz]

Thanks man I appreciate this! I been following you for years now and learned alot from your channel

[@youngkizzi9944]

You're insane, man ❤

[@theePenwell]

You're the most helpful FL Studio KZbinr ever, everything you say just makes so much sense, been watching you ever since I started my journey

[@fieldsham9921]

Thank you so much, Michael. I always look forward to receiving new content from IN THE MIX.

[@DJMASTERBLEND]

I took ten years to learn this and I wished a video this educational existed back then❤THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@blirc3685]

your content is extremely helpful, I appreciate everything you do!!

[@Jabstylebeats]

Awesome tips bro !❤‍🔥

[@matthewcassette]

Text to chords is such a great tip. This blew my mind that it's possible now. Thank you!

[@greatestsawes9712]

This is so dope. Thanks alot 🙏🏾

[@UsmanAhmed83]

I can't thank you enough for these vids. They've completely rewired my approach.

[@JerosGamer89]

Thanks for all the videos you've been uploading so far! It's been great for me to introduce in this whole world of DAWs and production

[@spacemanonearth]

Hey congrats on passing a million subs! Also for all your great videos and tips you have offered your viewers. TY

[@craygasm]

The sleeper tip was how to minimise FLEX

[@DJPastaYaY]

Very nice of you to share this :)

[@musicandlaughter_]

Love your vids man.

[@MusokeMSK]

Thanks for the good advice 🙏

[@TICTAP]

Always Good !

[@smartproduction4487]

Power full tricks thank you sir

[@mclegitim6433]

One (or two things) that helped me keeping my projects clean and organized is the „purge unused audio Clips“ and „select unused channels“ Option. I used to get pretty messy in an intense session but those features definitly change it. Keep the great work up. Just can agree to all these wonderful congratz comments.

[@thrillbeats]

Man i love this channel

[@darlawkopx]

Another helpful video ❤. Thanks Mike

[@blueeagleaudio7372]

Very Informative Mic, Thank you so much for all the tutorials you've made.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@isakhelgas4237]

hey man! Just wanted to thank you for your hard work on teaching dummies like me FL Studio! I started by watching your videos back in 2019, and now i just released my first album! Thank you so much for your help, definitely couldn't do it without you

[@inthemix]

That’s so good to hear. Congratulations on publishing your first album! It’s not easy to put together a body of work like that.

[@artidwiekurtki1260]

Thanks man, very helpful stuff

[@Gaven7r]

The audio backup is a really good one! I never thought of that!

[@ancientmodesty9300]

This is going to help me a lot thank you for another great informative video.

[@woodybob01]

Damn that recording last x minutes feature is amazing. This is going to be so useful for me thank you for bringing it to my attention. I love your videos.

[@Sam.Kasso.]

I love this man alot

[@kisstherajn]

I hope you will continue these series for a long time ♥ much love

[@jayhinz5150]

[@bhargavdobhal5327]

Thank You Bro🙌🙌for again uploading a very helpful video🔥🔥.

[@hanyelokelly6448]

[@fet0logy]

Thank God for the Internet and for this exact person that leads this channel

[@axzarrr]

Thank you so much for making this video, every single thing that was shown is helpful!

[@inthemix]

You're welcome. I tried to dig deeper and find some gems here!

[@bdbeats7209]

Thank you! 🙏

[@ExpatPlans365]

Excellent tips as usual thanks 👍🏾

[@inthemix]

Thanks!

[@mysteriousshadow395]

Really cool! I liked the MIDI recording one

[@jaderington]

I have the amazing Bitwig, but I watch this beacuse you do things so well. I was in a bind with mastering the other Month. I took a lot from you tutorials on the subject. Thanks !

[@Elsewhere-ui7xy]

Appreciate you bro. Keep up the good work

[@nerophase]

thanks for the tips!

[@thevalueofn6994]

If only every vid that was created in order to educate about audio production was as precise as that quiff and this vid. Good job, Michael. It's undeniable that you're one of the best in your game. I appreciate the lack of reliance on gimmicks and tacky thumbnails. I use the ultimate version of Reason and I own the comparable versions of Ableton and FL Studio. There's so much more technical potential in the ones that I'm too afraid to explore; it's like a megalophobia. FL Studio seems to be far too complicated for my aging brain... but I'm getting there. I'm getting close to the realisation that Ableton with FL Studio and Reason 12 as VSTs might be the best way to proceed.

[@4t7bosstk53]

Damn I love the grouping of channel rack its such a great feature

[@nathanmoine]

Amazing!

[@deadshot9640]

bro is lifesaver

[@MrBigdee183]

I am a Fl newbie and your videos have helped me so much. I cant thank you enough for taking the time to make these videos.

[@inthemix]

You’re more than welcome!

[@JorgeAlmeidadamaged]

Thank you. Simply... thank you.

[@starnez408]

This is such a great video, very informative! Thank you lots!

[@Luckywynne]

5:35 That sounds so sick

[@inthemix]

You should hear it in the studio sometime :)

[@florianstrobel9065]

Last one is fire! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@dresoreal240]

thanks a bunch man I literally taught myself how to make beats and never used any guides but recently over the last year or so I’ve been watching FL studio videos and it’s been teaching me so much that I wish I had knew before.

[@thepoeticpiper]

So much I didn't know.... Thank you 🔥

[@falsemath]

Keeping Edison recording on the master channel is such a good idea, thank you for this! When you were talking about the "dump to score log" tool, I was thinking, "I wish they had something like that for recorded audio..."

[@michael19929]

Hello namesake😊 To be honest, I feel quite overwhelmed by all the topics and technical terms one encounters when making music. I also sometimes find it difficult to accept that I can process information at a slower pace. That is (in addition to my limited energy and time) an important reason why I regularly stop producing for a period. But I have to say that thanks to your "down-to-earth" approach, calm way of explaining (and tone 🙂) and the clear expression of your passion for music, you encourage me to take up this hobby again and again. And to embrace every small step in the ongoing learning process. Therefore, thank you very much for all the explanations you have already given on various themes. Finally, I hope and wish you that you can continue to make music with great passion for many years to come and help others (including through this channel) develop on their musical journey. Kind regards from the Netherlands!

[@EXCELPRAISEWORTH]

Amazing. Thank you so much for this

[@shinyless]

Great video :)

[@Reallifejourney388]

Thank you for all you videos knowledge time and help! Muchly appreciated!

[@jarlardo]

Thanks for the video. You have helped me out a lot with your templates as well. :)

[@keithanderson7194]

You put a lot of GOOD Gems in this one! Thank you!

[@roolsbeats2088]

Isolating side channels is the discover of the year... Thank you mate!!!

[@ascarycasta]

Thank you for your info they always help so much🙏😤

[@BanesRomance]

Hi Michael Long time viewer Thanx for another great FL vid

[@JusticeBeaver619]

auto recording midi inputs is gonna benefit me so much. another banger video

[@Virtual-Media]

Great tips, and thumbs up on using more more modern rock and edm samples. Stock quaky samples often make FLS seem very limited in production quality.. Peace..

[@kevinmyrick218]

that wave candy tip is epic thank you so much

[@RakimuMusa-oo4sm]

Thank you Mr Michael for your brilliant work, u hve given me a way in music 🎶 production because of following your channel Shukraan Habibi am from qatar 🇶🇦

Thanks man. That's very useful tips. Peace ✌🏼

[@lloydstampa9270]

You help me alot bro

[@Yasser_Gryb]

May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you : My dear brother: As you communicate with FL Studio, I ask you to do two things, if possible, after your warm hope. 1- Requesting the company to introduce the Arabic language to the program, at least to accept the Arabic language in the nomenclature, as was the case in version 10. A - The possibility of including quarter tones, i.e. oriental musical scores, in the program to create oriental scales such as rast, bayat, and sika... All thanks and appreciation to you. My name is Yasser from Syria and currently a refugee in Türkiye

[@inthemix]

I'm sure that requesting Arabic language support in the forums would get the ball rolling on that. It is probably quite challenging but I know of a few companies who take on jobs like this. As for the microtonal support, I think the best bet is using samplers such as Kontakt and synths like Serum which support Microtonal/quarter tones.

[@Jo-ot6tk]

Hello Michael, I have been following your videos for years but this is the first time (shame on me) that I have posted a comment. Just to report that your videos are always great and clear. Like many others, I have learned a lot about FL Studio over the years thanks to your videos. They are always very educational. Thank you a thousand times for that! Greetings from Belgium.

[@inthemix]

It's great to hear from you even if it's the first time. I'm glad I could help over the years. Greetings from Scotland!

[@ianriddle9502]

There is also the new snap to key function in the piano roll. Makes chords and transposing much easier

[@alansmothee]

one of the greatest to ever do it this guy.

[@werdjones]

huge thanks.. very nice tips

[@ZGOBRU]

Your channel is amazing, God bless you.
