Here is an Fl tip that all Fl studio gang use: make the entire beat in one pattern, when u done, right click on the pattern, scroll down and select split by channels. Then all instrumentals will be put in each separate patterns.

[@tebogolebona5879]

im doing the same thing bro.

[@scootboot1336]

@marliixcape * no, keep as midi, you can do everything you can to a wav to a midi if you know what you’re doing + this way you have access to the raw midi and VST parameters. + if your cpu is struggling with beats then you need an upgrade lmao

[@prodby7738]

I don't use FL but I think thats what Kyle Beats does?

[@JGBeats04]

You can also Quick render your patterns in order to reduce the weight on the CPU and to avoid cracking sounds

[@LunarTFM]

[@Stringyyyy]

Tip for FL: when you go to arrange, if you right click a pattern in the list on the left, you can split by channel. this makes separate patterns for each sound/instrument/sample you used so you can arrange easily and not have to do make unique and turn things off etc!

Exactly.

[@user-fo9lw3pq8l]

I'd disagree with the 2nd Sentence. Of course, every DAW can be capable of doing somewhat similar things, but each DAW has their own strengths and weaknesses. If one could be using another DAW (x) which suits one's needs then they would be wasting time on another DAW (y) which gives sub-par features in a field that is just better in the other DAW (x). Eg. I switched from S1 to Bitwig because Sound Design is such an important part of my music, and BW helps to make things work faster for me.. Ofc I could probably design some sounds in S1 but some patches would take 6-7 times the amount of work and time that I would invest in making the same patch in BW. Some patches I just wouldn't be able to make, because S1 doesn't have the features to do so. Conclusion: It really does matter what DAW you use, and exploration is vital to be able to be a better producer.

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Mate, I've been on ABleton and FL, and there's something about Ableton that makes its sound way more immersive than FL studio. I know that there's loades of peeps who've been saying all daws sound the same but it's just not true. I use the same plugins and vsts, and ableton sounds fuller. SO yeh, your sound will change in Ableton.

[@yajrobot]

@@hjkhhjkh3635 Next time you gonna use FL, don't forget to turn off your limiter on master. There is a fair amount of distortion when using automation in Ableton compared to clean automations in FL according to one research I found recently, but tbh I still don't think you get fuller sound because of it. You probably don't make music using VST's only so Ableton's audio processing might be just better, you have Glue Compressor, EQ has it's quite pleasant algorithms, also keep in mind how audio warping is different - that would be the biggest detail I identify when production is made in Ableton.

moved from FL to Ableton recently and haven't looked back since, everything feels intuitive and the workflow is like what you think music production should be like.

Well done comparison on a practical level! Thank you!

[@heyemiri]

I was a logic user but after getting a writers block, decided to use Ableton for fun. Have to say, ableton’s work flow is cleannn and way easier to automate tracks compared to logic. You really get to be creative with this one. Big down side is if you’re a person like me who doesn’t have a collection of vsts, it’s gonna suck a lil. Never realised how good logic’s stock sounds were. Still, because of the work flow, I’m team Ableton! I still do miss logic’s sounds hehehe. Any workarounds to bounce logic sounds? XD

[@George-nx8zu]

You can always just record a one shot in Logicand export to Ableton's sampler and vice versa.

Combinator that let's you mix any device together as they are or you can take elements like the LFO from one sythersizor to the oscillator off of another and essentially make your own device plugin.

Everything else practically works the same as Logic Pro and the only thing really that makes FL stand out is that it is really a MPC this was taught to me by Shai of Feng Shui producers of STYLO G My Yute feat.

hi bro , which version of serato studio have u uses free or pro ? by the way buddy , you should try reason studio , cubase and presonus studio one !😊✊🏻🔥🤝

[@TorontoPopulistConservative]

Thumbnail had me thinking you'd be trying reason. Ableton is my personal fave, although I have made a lot of good memories in FL.

[@shiwakao]

i started out on fl but switched to ableton just cause i didn't like the interface of fl. there's of course no "best daw" but rather just whichever one you enjoy the workflow or look of the most cause they're all different in their own ways.

[@oriamusic]

Fl is the ugliest daw lol

[@RoccitEli]

FL definitely bro! I’ve made the switch to FL but I still use Logic here and there can’t never leave the first love lol

[@slim_dillyTV]

FL gang check in right here😂😂 bro that drill in FL was fire🔥🔥🔥

[@novaaanuggets]

Amazing edit with the video

[@ssbeerus9657]

This was a fun ass video. I don’t know why I was so happy to see you use fl studio. I guess cuz last video you were struggling super hard 🤣🤣

[@MrEllipsis423]

I’m on Studio One and I feel it’s one of the best overall. Very fast workflow the only flaw it has is the number of vsts that comes with it. You will have to get others

[@PriCEGotBeats]

Its disrespectful how people sleep on Studio One. FL is actually for beginners, cause it's a training wheel DAW. People gotta learn to walk over to S1👌

[@dollaonthabeat]

@@PriCEGotBeats I use Studio One as well but I gotta disagree with you on FL being for beginners I believe beginners should try another DAW first then use FL if they want because FL does everything completely different than other DAWs which would confuse them if they started out with FL. You get what I’m saying?

[@arnoldxode]

for real studio one is so easy literally everything is drag and drop mixing is easier msstering is easy and everything is just easy

[@daniel-dj4ch]

I‘ve switched from Studio One to FL a month ago. For mixing and genres with a lot of recorded tracks S1 is the best solution. Easy workflow, very intuitive. But in terms of beatmaking FL Studio is really the gold standard. The drum sequencer, piano roll workflow, sample editing etc. are outstanding. I don‘t know the reason but the same 808 hits different in FL compared to S1. Moreover, 99 % of all the type beats tutorials, cookups, etc. are shown with FL Studio, so you can learn all the tricks and perfectly rebuild the beats.

[@FayyadhSmasher]

do u use the prime version?

[@fallsunset5862]

MPC beats for life baby

[@J3Cyclone]

tip for ableton: theres a thing in the drums category called a drum rack where you put your drum samples into it, insert a midi clip and then put in your drums like a midi

[@George-nx8zu]

I wouldn't recommend this for making Drill & Trap music, especially when producers want to be able to use different notes for Hi Hat rolls for example or different notes for snare hits. In a drum rack you can't have a drum sample really go to different pitches. Its better to separate everything into separate channels otherwise you get pretty limited making drill music.

[@OpenMeezy]

​@George-nx8zu you can do all of that in the editor. Plenty of people are using Ableton for those genres.

[@JamesIsDudePerfect]

Serato actually seems made easy I wanna give it a try I think

[@Realcbdave]

Bro the drum/sample browsing you talking about in FL is exactly the same or even better in ableton 😂
