Here's a tip from me: When you open your project, FL opens up all your plugins that were used in that project. If you dont want to bother closing them all one by one, simply press F12 and it will close all the open tabs and then you can open your playlist and mixer back. This saves a lot of time and sometimes hardware too

[@user-lr3yu9st3z]

Yeah i always just click on the playlist.

[@darksentinel082]

lmao imagine opening project files hahahaha (this post was made by broke ass garbage people gang)

[@Juan_DeLanoche]

Yeah, and if you do it just before saving the project, everything will be closed when you reopen it

[@zacredington4776]

@@darksentinel082 dude you just gave me mad flashbacks to the free version days... I once spent 6 months on a track without closing it just for my PC to crash. Then when I finally purchased FL I realised it didn't matter cause not all the plugins usable in the trial come with the ~$600 version of FL (crazy right?) so all those patterns and fx disappeared as soon as I excitedly re-opened my long lost project. Morale of the story; life is pain.

[@Rannument]

@@Juan_DeLanoche no that's not true

[@CapitalCapacity]

Tip 1: Window Hot Keys 2:07 Tip 2: Make Unique 2:44 Tip 3: Routing Mixer Channels 3:37 Tip 4: Moving Channels Around the Mixer 4:07 Tip 5: Changing a Tempo of a Sample 4:28 Tip 6: Notch/Peak EQ 5:08 Tip 7: Order of FX 5:47 Tip 8: CTRL + B 6:43 Tip 9: Channel Rack Organization 7:06 Tip 10: Have Fun and Girth it up! Also turn off Limiter on Master 7:45

[@nirmitpahwamusic]

like a nerd

[@yashadityasehgal2305]

Wait should I actually remove the limiter, bandlez said if you are lazy just slap a limiter on there

[@HenningUKN]

@@yashadityasehgal2305 watch the video from Dylan Tallchief about the default FL Studio limiter, it's not that great :)

[@nickolasgeyfman3915]

RaDiation YT remove the limiter and add it back when you are done with the track (for mastering) Also, another tip, make sure that in the mixer, your volume never gets so loud it fills up that red part cuz that’s gonna make it sound like ass

[@pricklycats]

I was gonna do the same thing just for my own reference but now I don't have to lol thanks

[@Rannument]

For those who want to skip the intro: the tips start from 8:42

[@SpeccXD]

damn those tips were so great that I might even become the next eliminate.

[@sunuae]

he should make music outta that

[@JUICE-wk2tz]

5:39 that eq curve had me crying 🤣

[@cody42693]

Another tip: Want to copy an effect to another mixer track but not go through loading it up again and making the same changes again? Click the down arrow on it, go to "Save preset as..." CLICK AND HOLD Now drag to a new mixer track and let go. Boom. Copy of the effect should load in.

holy shit that's amazing, thank you for sharing

[@ryan_1314]

A few tips that you mentioned (and might not know) is - Hold shift when using the blade tool to make it perfectly vertical instead of a bunch of cuts all over the place - hold shift and scroll while hovering over tracks to move them instead of constantly right clicking and selecting move - hold shift while moving an automation point to stop it from moving up and down, same with ctrl and horizontal - when right clicking you can use hotkeys like C to copy, to save time instead of having to click it every time - You can select multiple mixer tracks by pressing shift + ctrl

[@SmashMyPitchUp]

That automation tip with shift is a lifesaver🙏 I swear often enough I just sit there for 7 minutes straight to get that little shit in the right place

[@bruellbart2380]

Thank you so much for the second tip... appearantly this also works with channels in the rack and the patterns window left to the playlist.

[@thisisthedefinition]

As an advanced user, these were definitely a great reminder to some of the core functions within FL. I ended up sticking around and joined the Dicsord, SUPER cool community. Big ups!

[@willaguirre]

me: mom can we have virtual riot mom: we have virtual riot at home *virtual riot at home*:

[@cathedralsedm]

Well virtual riot at home is pretty good

[@HelloDDD]

Ok I feel so dumb now. I always used the make unique as a sample feature and complained I had to pick a place to save it everytime without slowing down for a moment and spotting the "Make unique" option in literally the same menu. This is why you should watch every kind of videos you can find even if they are the basic ones lol Thanks Nate 😂

[@august7743]

I thought he cut the saving part from the video

[@brassardmusic]

Its really nice when a HUGE KZbin icon such as Eliminate gives back to the community like this. Bless

[@xorophobic]

Nice mustache it's so beautiful 😭😭

[@ms_online9580]

Bonus tip for the bonus tip: When opening a new project go to "new from template > change default template" and in the bottom right in the window at "default template" set it to "minimal > basic" and never deal with this limiter in the first place!

[@DaveAcosta]

I also wanna add something to this, you could create your own template with volume automations and add something to the master by cloning some default template windows folder, renaming it and then paste your own template in the folder

[@Niko-by7zi]

@@DaveAcosta This. I have been using my own custom templates for a very long time and I can confirm it improves your workflow a lot!

[@KUSOSOUND]

Hold shift + scroll while hovering over a mixer channel allows you to move it (as oppose to alt + arrow keys)

[@misa9166]

Learning these useful tips while taking a dump is very soothing!

[@lilithm9838]

Thank you so much for making these videos!! You have helped my production grow so much just over the last few months!!

[@jaineshsharma6198]

I can proudly say that I've watched each & every video on this channel & need more vids from Nate😠

Currently on a binge and since he hasn't uploaded in months I'm half way through finishing everything!

[@rl106]

Ur awesome eliminate, ur my favorite producer! Love ur sounds, found u from disciple a few months back.

[@nld9194]

honestly that last bonus tip was what i needed to hear. loved the vid as always

[@kobra6172]

You might know this already! But at 4:12 there is an alternate way of doing this that's faster (in my opinion). You can simply highlight the mixer track and hold the shift key while using the scroll wheel on your mouse to move mixer tracks around. Saves me a lot of time

[@shentin0659]

Brooo that routing tip is actually dope for sidechaining Love your content never stop producing 🔥🔥

[@BarthNW]

Thx Professor Nate for these useful tips 🙏🏾

[@simonyocis8570]

Holding down shift and using the mousewheel while hovering over an effect in the effect chain will allow you to change the order of effects without creating a whole new instance of the effect. This also works in the mixer and playlist.

[@theunknowndrummer2972]

Please make intermediate and advanced and master and girth-Master leverls

[@wasilwatch]

You could make a video on layering, specifically mustache layering.

[@IsoDopeBeats]

Been using FL Studio for 10 years and still learned something new. Thank you!

[@jonathancollins9831]

Your channel is super sick, has been since day 1. And I feel wicked educated after watching your vids. When you turned a burp into sweet sweet music for a sad sad world.. mind blown

[@jvbsucks]

You should do a tutorial about what you put on your master. I feel like everyone on FL on KZbin is just dumb and you’re the only one I trust about mastering tracks.

[@typicalovid]

this video was very helpful for me since I started making beat a couple of months ago even though I know some of this stuff already others I did not know thanks for the help my guy

[@arthurxmedic]

you can select just the sample itself for ctrl+b OR select the time at the top of thw playlist, and it'll always append to the end of the selection

[@seanpenrod798]

Quick tip... If you do Ctrl + L it will put the sample in that in the mixer channel without you having to click the channel and route it. I hope that helps everybody Happy Producing
