Can you do a MAXIMUS tutorial?

[@Funnymashups]

[@jezreelmartizano3145]

[@aaryamannambiar6677]

@1:42. I'm having a major problem. I think I may have activated some other way of creating dots on my automation clips, because when I right click, nothing happens. Instead, I have to click with the left mouse button and drag, if I want it to go up or down, which then creates too many dots! Can someone please help me out with this 🙏?

[@ncbdcrew7233]

Dude you are amazing,your tutorials have helped me a lot.

Clean, straight to the point, and informative tutorial. In The Mix is definitely shaping up to be one of the best production tutorial channels on KZbin.

[@sinistermoose]

Man. I've been making music twenty years ago. Then I had other things to do, like ruining my life and stuff. Lately, I managed to get everything straight and I finally have time and peace of mind to go back to playing. Everything changed in DAW's and possibilities are now endless. I found your tutorials and just wanted to share this with you - I am truly grateful for your videos, as you are a great teacher and those are one of the best tutorials I've seen ever. Thank you for doing what you do, as your work is helping some old dude to get back to stuff he loved. Cheers and keep it up!

[@arnav1272]

NICE. welcome to the 6an9

[@ferjen2]

I just need to say that I really like the way you explain all this stuff here. You do it in the right tempo, not too fast, not too slow. Information is very good with clear examples. Also good that you use short pieces of demo music so the thing you explain is not drowning in other unnecessary pieces of the song. Last but not least is that you have a pleasant voice to listen to, and talk very clear and not use complicated words or sentences. Although English is not my native language (which is Dutch) I have no problem understanding what you are teaching. Many thanks for these videos.

[@inthemix]

That's the most kind comment I've read in a while! Thank you very much Ferry, I appreciate it :)

[@zubaerbinselim6494]

Great comment ☺️

[@aiinchntmusyq]

Yup...some ppl naturally born a teacher

[@ericbailey-gowen3169]

This is exactly why I love this channel. He shows us tutorials on the best and most helpful topics about becoming a better producer, and doesn't waste time.

[@akashpramanik2909]

Why I don't know but when I watch others' tutorials I do not get anything inside my head but seriously when you explain everything gets inside my head. Thank You!!

[@inthemix]

That's great feedback! I'm happy to have helped :)

[@mgmthegrand]

I use Cubase and FL Studio. Mike is my go to guy for FL for years now. This is a 2018 video and it's still relevant in 2022! His videos are comprehensive, detailed and clear. I wonder if he has a course on FL. He's an excellent teacher.

[@byronwav]

Hey dude, I'm just getting into music production and I wanna say, your videos are so informative yet easy to understand. I really appreciate your work.

[@stuart.s.]

I know this is 5 years old, but your channel is really helping me understand FL as I arrange a song from Akai MPC stems. Mad to think I have had FL for over 10 years but never really put the time in to appreciate how good it is.

[@itmeboh]

thank you so much-what you’ve been and are doing for the community-with your genuineness, no bs “hard-selling” with annoying intros and blah blah blah-straight to the point, such a great teacher, great speaker, so patient-the way you explain the small things, showing how to delete things, etc-all fundamental stuff but is so hard to come by these days-kudos to you brother and the thanks of a million

[@jood_aep]

You are literally the greatest person ever no cap

[@elliotwilson-woodrow2764]

what is automation? automation lets you control parameters inside a software without manually having to do it. - the most common automation will probably be volume, instead of sitting there and moving the slider manually at the right time, you can automate that fade with an automation clip - you can automate a fader, pan, an amount of reverb and much more - you can even automate a parameter within an EQ of an instrument How to use automation clips... - first you highlight a section of your playlist/song - next right click the parameter you want to automate and select *create automation clip* - the line you see on the clip matches the value of your chosen parameter - you can create points by right clicking, and drag points with left click - alt + left click is drag fluidly, ctrl + left click is up & down, shift + left click left & right\ - right click your point to play around with the type of point - you can copy and paste values from the parameter mixer to the automation - use the dial button to create automation clips for third party plugin parameters - you can copy and paste automation states - you can change the range of your automation clips by left clicking on clip and adjusting max and min, this is very useful when it comes to doing finer detailed work like adjusting vocals

[@cameronormerod4332]

I finally jumped on the bandwagon with having all this extra free time and I've gotta say I would be nowhere near the level I am now without your concise and articulate tutorials. Massive, massive help so big up to you!!!

[@wisdomaddik2461]

you're clearly under rated Brother. Hope the success of your channel multiplies!!!

[@emmanuelhoundo8449]

4:01 BEST MUSIC PRODUCTION TIP I HAVE EVER HEARD, thank you so much!

[@averysworld13]

Your videos are so helpful for someone who is just learning the software with no daw experience. loved so many of them

[@garrettjrussell]

This might be the single most important video on FL Studio. Thank you for your hard work.

[@ericalynnjoseph]

Hi Michael, I'm a musician from Canada in the process of learning how to use FL Studio for a number of years now, and I wanted to say I have been really enjoying your videos and music. Very well made and inspiring. Thank you!

[@leonscholz5709]

The last point you mentioned was really useful. I hate it when I let shit disappear but its somehow still there effecting something. Really needed that knowlegde

[@inthemix]

Leon Scholz I was struggling with that for months too!

[@JesseXM]

is it just me or was that super complicated?

[@Atrionix]

Jesse Wang exactly

[@christrath]

I love how you not only show us how to do it but when we would need to use it as well. Thank you!

[@Demetri_adams]

Man I just want to literally say I appreciate what you do, makes a small time guy like me be able to follow and learn and create another life for myself…And for that nothing but love bro hands down 🤙🏾

[@maestrojanmj7818]

Man,words can not describe how much you are good in teaching anything in fl studio,you helped me alot and I really appreciate that"

[@HuntedNinja]

Thanks man, have really been struggling as I've seen people use automation clips and all I can do is scratch my head when I read what FL Studio tells me. You've really just broken it down so nicely and made it look like a breeze to use. The way you explain how to use certain aspects of it is just right, and you use demo music to show what it does, which really comes in handy. Once again, thanks for making the video and teaching us something new. 👍

[@wordartmusic3017]

You're really good at this, your automation video is 110% keep uploading.

[@dannydean2077]

Best tutorial channel ever! I've had at least 10 different ideas and had no idea how to do them. I came straight to this channel, AND BOOM! Perfectly explained every time.

[@Jtuneswavemusic]

I love how you actually teach things versus just rushing through it! I learned alot from this video!! BIG THANKS!

[@inthemix]

Thanks! I’d also like to add that lots of new automation features have been added recently. I made a more recent video which you can find by searching on my videos tab covering some of the new features they added.

[@Jtuneswavemusic]

@@inthemix Awesome bro thank you! I’ll definitely check them out🔥💪🏽

[@saujeetmusic8322]

Can u plz make a video in which you show us that how to apply delay effect on vocals with proper automations ?

[@inthemix]

Absolutely, I was planning a delay tutorial focusing on synths but I will also make one for vocals. Good idea :)

[@saujeetmusic8322]

In The Mix your most welcome and lots of love from India

[@TCOCreationStudios]

This took me 6 years to realize on how to use automation clips with Kontakt. Thank you my man. 6 years later and I figured it out.

[@gh0ul.nin9]

i can not thank you enough for your videos you explain everything so well and thoroughly

[@inzanity7212]

my god, 2 minutes in and i already understand so much. Thanks a lot, Michael!!!

[@Arturian.music.official]

Brilliant tut as always! I'm a hobbiest for lack of time, and missed so many nuances in all the FL controls that I always learn something from you.

[@jtyler3196]

I just wanted to say thanks for the FL Studio videos Michael. I've been using this program for years (since 2003) but I never cared to improve my workflow or learn how to better navigate the UI until recently and your videos have been a complete game changer. I can only imagine the amount of time and frustration I would've saved myself if I had only bothered to devote a bit of effort into learning this stuff!

[@WOZARTWEBB]

Michael, Your tutorials are so informative and to the point. I've watched a lot of other tutors, but your are definitely informative. Thanks for your work man!!!! BLESS YOU!!

[@TitoSunshine22]

Everytime I look up a “ how to “ in FL studio I always end up on this channel. Best advice

[@lukel1724]

5:12 THANK YOU FOR THIS! I've been searching so long for a way to copy automation data that doesn't involve linking both channels to the same automation clip or saving it as a preset and re-adding it. I knew there had to be a better way! It was just hidden in away in that weird menu! I expected "copy" to appear in the clip menu, since it's such a basic function. Thanks again; now I can get back to making music! FL Studio is very powerful, but sometimes the way it is laid out throws me through a loop. (No pun intended! :)

[@simonkormendy849]

Cheers, this just cleared it all up for me, tried reading the user manual that comes with FL Studio 20, but it wasn't very clear, so I watched your video and it turned out to be easier than I thought it was, knowing how to do this is going to be a big game-changer for me, thank you so much, much appreciated!!!!!

[@yebbi7291]

im gettin hella amazed of how crazy complex FL studio is, its them endless possibilities for my vocals to get fuckin edited, its really hard to learn it but its also very good

[@WhoIsStoner]

you just made my quarantine interesting i dont want it to end until i finish learning but i also know learning never ends

[@re_i_gn]

I don't know how to explain it but I just feel safe in your videos. Whenever I try out watching other FL tutorial clips something just doesn't feel right, but watching your stuff it just feels warm and cozy. idk.

[@slickwilly3480]

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? Everything was perfectly clear and understandable.

[@aqua3418]

Just to let you know, your videos are so good that even we support people in the official FL Studio Discord channel link people to them. :)

[@worteldrie4980]

I bought a pair of headphones based on this guys recommendations, and let me tell you I was NOT disappointed. Not to mention that countless ways this series has helped me as I'm learning to produce. Also, In The Mix > Everything else on YT

[@MrCombicritter]

I try using the FL Studio manual and I end up more confused than when I started. I visit your channel and you make it so easy I can't stand it. lol! THANK YOU! 😁

[@MiisterShane]

I've enjoyed this basics series. Just rehashing things I knew but seeing them used with confident tehnique is always inspiring. Hope the advanced mixing and production shows off some of the quirks you used here (automating reverb out before a drop and such), it's a great source of inspiration.

[@inthemix]

MiisterShane Yeah it's a good refresher for me too, I can't wait to show some of the more interesting techniques especially ones used in some of the songs we are releasing soon :)

[@rolandkaiser9717]

Wow, your instructions answered all my questions about the automations. The instructions are clear and understandable. Brilliant once again. Thank you very much for your work.

[@nomadflbh]

Much thanks!

[@JohnSegway-RainingLamppost]

This explained it so well I've been trying to figure out how to do automation in FL recently after swapping from Ableton - I see the problem now was that I'd automated the 7 of the Parametric EQ 2 rather than the wet/dry on it; this clears it all up so well, big thanks!

[@JeddyB81]

Happy I found this, Many have posted videos stating tutorial but you click and see nothing but them Speeding through with keyboard shortcuts and whatnot.

[@jkmcl2]

every other tut confused me as i kept on getting a panning automation, youre the only one to clearly clear this up for me, thank you, liked+subbed

[@hewhoisme4343]

I was using a ton of "Edit events" and a bunch of different tracks to do something that could just be automated, awesome video!

[@j-smack4147]

I thought I knew these basic tools but I learn something handy in EVERY video. Thanks!

[@goodluckduck8615]

Easily the fastest and most precise videos to learn FL studio from. Love ya work mate. ❤️

[@Old_Am3rica_S3arching_Studios]

Video helped out a lot thank you very much for the new skills I have added to my arsenal!

[@pdebie1982]

Seriously, your tutorials are the best! Now I can play with the FX for my tracks to give them that extra bit instead of straight out of synth sounds.

[@AhwanMishra]

The automation principle of FL is good for anything else, but I guess for volume automation, the workflow of other DAWs are faster.

[@roman_volkov23]

bitwig studio it's a heaven for automation :)

[@negativecharisma7583]

The best tutorial on the subject, I was scratching my head at another tutorial, thank you!
