FL Studio - Complete Beginner Basics Tutorial

This video is the first in the FL Studio Basics Playlist and is to help those who are completely new to FL Studio and are looking for a place to start. When loading a synth for the first time, I would recommend using "FLEX" it is the best and most easy to use and was added after I made this video.

I try to simplify the DAW and it's signal flow for those who are not familiar with FL Studio's workflow.
This video shows how to navigate the Browser, Channel Rack, Playlist, Piano Roll and Mixer so that you can start making music :)

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

Nice

[@Cybersprite2008]

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

[@inthemix]

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 :) Michael

[@desiordia3402]

I really like how organized your fl studio mixer and playlist are #mygoalstodoso its gonna take me a while but ill get there :)

[@Cybersprite2008]

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.

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.

[@timllmixit]

Hi Michael, I just wanted to say a big thank you. I've tried using DAWs maybe 5 times and as soon as I download one, within minutes just quit, being overwhelmed by it all. I decided to try again and dedicate at least an hour a day and sticking with it. Finding this video has been EXTREMELY helpful-you've explained it absolutely perfectly without any jargon or big words that other tutors just don't consider that beginners would not know. After watching this and trying for a couple hours already, I feel like I am less scared of the software and finding it fairly easy to navigate! Thank you once again.

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!

@Arjun Menon What worked for me was watching other people make beats on youtube, like Internet Money and Kbeazy, and then slowly learn what they are doing. I would learn how to lay down drums on the channel rack and use some loops, and then once you have your drums sounding good start learning how to make your own melodies. Good luck bro!

Outstanding, crystal clear and logical! In just less than 20 minutes, you give a clear understanding of FL logic and its intuitive interface. I learned more here than by watching those last days hours of Cakewalk tutorials which just let me confused and frustrated. I will watch your vid a second time then go on with the more detailed ones of yours. Thank you for offering this so nicely!

[@athrunskye]

Does knowing how to play musical instruments necessary?

[@quinn9598]

@@athrunskye Not at all, if anything your brain will pick out what sounds good and what doesn't. 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.

[@JokoLondo]

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.
