[@raghavgoel1265]

Hi Mike, Could you please tell me how you assign all channels with a mixer track? I saw it in one of your other videos but I forgot it. Sorry to disturb you!

[@KevinKiriama]

Thank you for this.. Is it possible for you to do an advanced beginners tutorial?

[@theshlug1424]

In The Mix you said you shouldn’t usually select ‘keep focus’ but why not

[@kinghbeats2257]

How do you change colour to your playlist,mixer and track list

[@agradeepdeb1650]

@@KevinKiriama say it again but slowly

[@DarthDumDum]

holy cow, you just blew through that information like a bullet, and I'm just like "slow down I cant take notes that fast!!!" great video man. useful and solid tips. thanks for sharing.

[@philjones217]

Nice one. Didn't know about the groups in the channel rack or the project folder. Cheers

[@factscandy5564]

Amazing Video Mike! Please keep uploading these kind of super helpful tutorials. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Your tutorials are better than most of other people on youtube!

[@nikitapotapenko7420]

Recetly have found your channel and i must say that it is well organized with simple but useful information. I guess long time ago when you were just starting producing music u did not know this tricks,but now as you became a great producer,you want to share your knowleadge with people. And i am very greatful for your doing this. Thanks a lot for your tips and explanations. Keep it up! Thumb up!! Subscribed!

[@KJAudioMusic]

Hey Mike..! I'm learning a lot with your tutorials...I've begun now to feel blessed to have you here.. Thanks.. hope we meet.

[@ONSTmusic]

Hi Mike, thanks for your tips, i learn't 1 or 2 things today! Right click to bring up effects in the mixer and that reverb technique using Edison i just did not know about, and I've been using FL Studio for a considerable amount of time! One tip for you and everybody else is grouping the vst plugins and effect plugins. If you go to where you select which vst or effect you want to use, scroll all the way down until you see three options: Categories, Simple, Tree - Select Tree and everything is grouped and much more easier to find! Saves a lot of time trying to find which vst or effect you want to use. I also have the effects panel on the left hand side, much more user friendly!

[@laurentkhuatduy]

As usual, awesome, to-the-point videos filled with great tips! Here is one extra: to multi-select channels, you can simply use Right Click instead of Ctrl+Click.

[@heclairsful]

Can't thank enough for the the tips, i felt in my heart you are heading for the top

[@inthemix]

Ecclesiastica Eclairs Thank you my friend, It's great to have you as part of this community 😃

[@26-tycm-i-durveshjagtap26]

I'm a beginner and ur tips r proved to be most Helpful for me...🔥❤️

[@failandtry.6140]

I didn't know about the Edison reversal and reverb. That'll help me so much with my revnotes once I get my computer to work again

[@ternitamas]

I'm a total newbie with fl studio and this was really helpful!

[@genralideas3904]

WHATTTT BROO THAT HELPED SO MUCH 4:50 unique pattern

[@smokeystarr]

You can also hit the drop down tab on the pattern selector located on the toolbar at the top of the screen and select Clone. It will duplicate the pattern you have selected.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

Unique patters is something I stumbled on by accident a few years ago and it's an absolute lifeline when it comes to developing themes with little variations in expression or phrasing. Alt + G is another one someone told me about a year or so ago, and, 'cause I'm the kind of musician who mixes a lot of plugins with a lot of audio from external gear and real instruments -- and if that's not bad enough, I like to record all of my "live" parts in little chunks to make sure I can focus on getting my best possible performance for each segment -- being able to just organize audio clips by instrument after they're in the project has made things so much smoother. Because I end up with so so so many of them :) And it means I can officially give my real instruments real silly little names which is always fun and sometimes necessary. :D I did not know about assigning the project an automatic folder -- I've been using manual file management to keep things organized for a very long time. :)

[@richmazza8579]

Straight to the point, no bullshit, and helpful thank you

[@prathameshparab8205]

Helpful....Specialy Last Two Grouping And Edison Tricks...Thank You

[@aybeewon4325]

Hello Mike, a really big fan of yours, just got to know about your community, so sorry I came late but at least I have seen almost all your previous videos and I'm now up to date with whatever you do as from now, without rumbling too much, I just wanted to know what VST you used to cook up that really nice Cello with a vibrato on its body towards the tail. Thanks

[@ZakMusicx]

amazing video mike loved it keep up the good work

[@misterbonesbeats414]

You just made my day with the dragging of the chain fx's to another channel. Thank you so much!

[@inthemix]

Mister Bones That tip changed my life when I discovered it accidentally!

[@misterbonesbeats414]

I really hope that Image Line incorporate a better way to do it and also to erase all the plugins on a channel or multiple at the same time without having to go to the mixer presets and chose the default one

[@maxmoll7059]

You can really speed up your workflow by using the underlined letters in the menus. E.g. just right click a control and press c for copying a value and right click another and press p to paste the value. This is so much faster than always using the mouse in the menus! And for renaming things just mousewheel click on them.

[@inthemix]

Max Moll it's a brilliant feature, I Use it when setting up sessions 😃

[@Studio-ph8wh]

Wow i'm learning a lot with you thank you so much

[@inthemix]

Flex - Your original music! Awesome!

[@noahraine3591]

Great stuff. On the Alt + G method to group tracks and rename them - is there a way to add another track to that same group after you already grouped them?

[@user-ob3oz4ui9h]

Thanks so much, very helpful

[@vishwasmagotra5266]

really doing great work

[@medotata5356]

What shortcut did you use in the mixer, to mute all other sound but drums? Awesome video :D

[@imsupermassive]

Hi, first of all, thanks for the great tips and for all the work you do! Can you make a tutorial about drum editing? I started recording multitrack drums and the approach to drum editing is always "painful" in fl studio since there is not any tool such as "elastic audio" or "beat detective" (I guess they belongs to pro tools). Do you have any suggestion? workflows, pipelines that are fl studio specific? thanks.

[@MrSomchiman]

Great tips!

[@sidneyscaccio]

Great video👌🏿

[@phillace]

Hello Mike , great video's , but i have one question and that is what machine are you running FL Studio on and how much ram are you using ? keep up the great work !!!

[@Shadowryda420]

This is really helpful but the video playlist seems out of order? Just getting back into daws and I'm not sure if starting at the first video would be confusing or not.

[@DeefexNYC]

Awesome video and beautiful music. The "keep focus" tip will be incredibly useful for me. That is very frustrating when you're tweaking a vst and it keeps stopping. I'm glad to find out there's a fix for that. You have a soundcloud page? Thanks man I'm writing another comment just to state that you DO write awesome, beautiful music. Keep up the great work buddy. Do you have a soundcloud page?

[@kellyj1598]

Shawn brother thanks, May I ask how to mute all the mixers at once?

[@artifexmusic]

your worth watching man

[@AF-vm6xx]

I have two quick questions that i hope on of you guys can answer. 1) How can i drag an instrument/midi/sample/recording from my channel rack into an individual track? For some reason i don't seem to get that right. 2) when working in the piano roll i have the problem that my notes can only be dragged and moved with one frame. This takes a lot of time because now i have to zoom in all the time to really drag a beat or melody into it's perfect frame. When i opened and worked in fl studio for the first time the notes were way easier and quicker to drag because it made steps of like quarter or eight notes at a time. How can i change the amount of frames back to "factory" settings? Thanks so much for your time. I love these videos!

[@Anonymousyt082]

love you so much! u helped me a lot..

[@remshawmusiek7565]

Really helpful videos, one program you should download is CORE CPU TEMP to make sure you're not overheating too MUCH.

[@leeanjjupro]

Thanks for everything, your Knowledge is fire.

[@sortswitch5820]

can you make a video on how to change the background colors? just like in this video? does it need some kind of coding?

I can't drag and drop from edison. It only reselcts the area when i try to drag. I can drag samples into edison though. Whats going on?

[@ryandavies7153]

Thanks! This is good stuff here.

[@SuperKartik2000]

Thanks for the lead :D I was curious

[@JemiilBrasco26]

Hi how can I click multiple notes from my keyboard without recording?

[@manstructions110]

The F3 Option saved my day and probs my life hahaha

[@nonstop4631]

What should a person that wants to get into producing music do to get started (beginner)?

[@themesh77]

shift + turn mouse wheel while hovering over mixer track moves track left or right, on effects it moves them up and down and on channel rack it re arranges your channels. much faster than alt+up/ down method

[@inthemix]

Babis Boikos I didn't know alt and up was a thing! that's a great tip, I use it all the time 😃

[@hrithiknirmal5705]

What's is volume multiplier automation clip.... And how does it work

[@aesthete18]

Damn.. so many instruments. What's your PC specs? Also, subscribed because of time stamps. Keep it up.

[@crazedtech7488]

Looking at your setup, it looks really good, but i have a bit of an issue. I do alot more gaming than i do work with FL, so moving my electric midi keyboard onto my desk infront of my monitor would probably disrupt it alot (Also it's quite large, slightly bigger than my desk)

[@dangknguyen1576]

Thanks you !

[@djviivo5752]

Really helpful video! Thank you! Hows the bass on those speakers? I currently don't have any producing speakers, I just produce on my headphones but I'm looking for speakers to buy. Would you recommend the ones you are using?

[@tonylancer7367]

DJ ViiVO, they are great entry level speakers, that give you a flat frequency response. :)

[@Hardik_Patel1395]

nice tutorial

[@The-Rogalist]

Cool!

[@haoswidasee7644]

You should grab the DT 990's. They are much better for mixing beats and audio. The 770's you have are mainly for recording audio.

[@ajayukumaru]

can u help me out to make chorus???

[@SoDdYBeats]

Great Tips. Helped Me a Lot. But when It Comes To Extra Large Mixer, You Have To Enable View -> Compact Plugin List In The Mixer Options To Really See List of Used Plugins on Mixer Track. It Took Me Some Time To Enable It After Extra Large Mixer Was On And I Didn't See Plugin List :)

[@inthemix]

SoDdY Beats That's interesting, both view options give me the plug in list so I thought it was the same for everyone...I'll look into it. Thanks for the support 😊

[@minggamratan8921]

myke can u please do a video on arranging sounds in a song

[@misterbonesbeats414]

Hey a quick question the project folder option, only saves the things you record? does it save the samples, loops or fx's you use from your personal sound packs? or do you have to make a zip file project to have that? It would be nice if everything saves under the same folder you choose at the beginning.

[@inthemix]

Mister Bones everything you use in your project should save in there, especially if you zip the project into there first

[@Nico09ization]

Could you do a tutorial on mastering?

[@tonylancer7367]

How do you(and anyone else) manage with plugins that don't scale? I have a 4K screen that makes FL Studio 12 looks so amazing, but the plugins are a nightmare, so tiny! FL plugins are okay, they scale according to the factor of the program, but 3rd party plugins are horrible. How do people get around this(besides reducing the resolution)?

[@chriseaf7048]

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, but what plugin did you use for the strings? or are they recorded?

[@chriseaf7048]

Never mind, should have watched the entire video before asking :P

[@blesscobvk]

I don't care long this was ago...I like this vid was kinder helpful

thank you

hey ! plz help when i recorded vocals on fl studio and i have changed some knob up and down during record but after voice recorded when i play my song it does the same knobs up and down how to undo that plz help

[@maxmoll7059]

Ayush Shivhare you can right click the recording button and select what you want to record. For your problem you have to deselect the automation

[@tanmerd8370]

Max Moll i have already recorded how do i undo the automation ?

[@maxmoll7059]

Ayush Shivhare Just deleting the pattern should do the job.

[@daanderksen1832]

I have a problem with automation clips: when i create an automation clip for my volume and i delete that clip later it won't let me change the volume. It just keeps jumping back to the automation clip level. Any idea how to fix it?

[@inthemix]

Daan Derksen in the browser, go to the top and look for "initialised controls" it might be inside "patterns". Find the name of the automation clip, right click and delete it. Also delete the automation clip from the channel rack if it is still there. Try that and let me know if it works 😃

[@FelixJMusic]

If you change the volume and create a new AC of your desire before you press play, the volume will correct itself.

[@daanderksen1832]

it worked, thank you so much!! Saves me an awful lot of time hahaha

[@inthemix]

Daan Derksen No worries! So glad it worked 😃

[@maxmoll7059]

You can deactivate the initialization in system settings -> advanced -> Don't initialize controls automatically So you never have this problem again
