To prevent FL Studio from creating 'initial values' for automation entirely. Enable the following setting: *Options > General settings > Advanced > 'Don't initialize controls automatically'*

[@omarenriquepuente4894]

@Ova Facts yes it will

[@lonelyswordmusic5651]

Extra Tip: In the general settings -> Undo History -> Alternate Undo Mode, you can change how CTRL + Z works and make it so it does the CRTL + ALT + Z function all the time like other programs. (Make sure the Alternate Undo Mode is ON for that function to work)

Would be nice if there was a "always delete initial value when deleting automation clips" button in the general settings or something. I honestly can't imagine why anyone would want to keep the initial values after deleting automation clips in the first place.

You do have it. Settings > General > Advanced (list to the bottom left) > Don´t Initialize controls automatically. :D

that "sticky value" tip in the end is a real life-saver :) i can imagine people going nuts over it, yet the solution is so simple 😂

I dont even use fl anymore but I dont mind receiving notifications from your channel, you're basically a savior for thousands of people lol.

Thnx bro ..i like logic pro x ...is the best ....and studio one too..is great ...but logic 🤩😍😍

[@granmasgarage2541]

In regards to parameters “sticking” there is an option in general settings “don’t initialise automatically” you can check.

[@ALDVIR]

I think you can set the amount of undo’s CTRL + ALT + Z will reverse in the settings. I have mine up to like 200 lol.. That hot key is a freaking game changer and it’s one I beat myself up for not knowing in my first couple of years

[@joelkulesha8284]

FINALLY! This has been my biggest gripe with FL for SO long, so glad to see it improved!

[@pratitghosh5973]

Yesss!!! Another video for automations. Thank you for this Michael! Love your videos, they've helped me connect to FL so much more.

I wanna say thank you to YOU and the community for helping me better my craft.

Had no idea about CTRL+ALT+Z or removing stuck parameters, thank you haha. Have a great weekend :)

[@WorstDudeEvr]

Right click- Delete initial value!!!!! Damn, FINALLY! Thank you!!!!

[@PenMarkArt]

That was refreshing to see! I’ve been increasing my use of automations lately and hasn’t realized you could enlarge the view. Much appreciated!

[@scruffy-beard-gang-tv.2376]

just want to say a huge thank you for all your videos, i really struggle to learn from tutorials or spend hours watching videos and find i dont learn what i want from them but this is not the case with your videos, there easy to follow and the fact that you take your time to explain and show the techniques really make a difference x

[@Sioreji]

Michael, Thank you for all the video tutorials! Everything is explained as simply and clearly as possible! It's priceless!

I have been subscribed to you for a while now. I love your content and love seeing your channel grow. you put out quality videos and I appreciate the time you take to teach all of us music production.

I can't express how this dude is important in my life and I don't even know him personally! Michael, thank you very much, thanks for your tutorials! These are the most complete tutorials I found on internet in only one place and with high quality and excellence in the explanations! I'm really grateful, now I'm able to create my songs after I spent basically the last year studying your tutorials to be able to it... and I already created my first song, it's just... a feeling from another dimension! 🥺 Thank you! ♥

[@inthemix]

Thank you very much, Again a professionally crafted video. Understandable, transparent.

[@sanctealphonse4510]

Thanks, very helpful! I like how you go over small things even though you've probably gone over them a hundred times. Like the ctrl left click to select multiple clips - we all know that but in case there's someone who's very new they now learned a basic tip and it only added a few seconds. I love the way you teach.

[@recfilm1883]

As always....high quality tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@mlky2971]

i LOVE your videos man. please never change. honestly such a good channel and a great person running it as well. much love

Learned some new tricks, thanks Mike!

[@officialgruber]

Wow, after almost 8 years of working with FL I didn't know about Ctrl - Alt - Z and also about the parameters that were stuck 😅. Thank :D

[@irishfitz]

Great video as always! I'm loving this update and really enjoying the stretch pro option in the sampler.

[@RandomPrecision01]

Thanks, Michael, super helpful! Your channel is the leader of the pack when it comes to working with and in FL Studio, I've learned more from you than anyone else about working directly in my DAW. So definitely the educational content is valuable! Personally, I LOVE long-form production sessions, and 'making of' style content, even if it's just casual livestream, and even if it's repetitive or nitty-gritty stuff. I'd love to watch an FL Studio master at work!

[@taylornihls6353]

I loved these tips. Especially the subtle changes for mixing or mastering.

[@lvnlifemusic]

Exceptional & Detailed Content! Thank you sir !

[@LightSource27]

Very helpful. I wasn't a big fan of trying to mess with too much automation ( I know, I know) but I got to just jump in and do it. These tools are going to make it so much easier.

[@BUSHBOY]

wow, I always find myself learning something new. Thanks dude this video rocks

[@Keroser1983]

Amazing as always and of course very helpful. We can go on with these new tips and hidden features in 20.9. As far as I have tested there really some additions with this new update. Cheers mate.

Wow. Thank you so much for this. If I didn't watch this video, I think I would've discovered the new automation many months ahead, by accidentally double clicking a clip. And I didn't even realise that merging automation was a thing! I've learned more from this 10 minute video than from days of churning away at my computer. Really concise and easily understandable content. You have my appreciation.

Sir I have a special request....pls show us how to use Fl Studio as guitar looper.....🙏🙏 Thanks again...love from Nepal ❤️❤️

[@haiseofficial8879]

I may have a little tip. as Michael explains about undo things several times at 5min50sec by pressing ctrl+alt+z . Press F10 to open the settings box , go to general , and on the right side of the window you will see (Maximum undo levels) where you can increase your undo level. Hopefully I can make someone happy with this little tip Michael , thank you so much for making all these fantastic tutorials . I have learned so much from you over the years and you are truly one of the only ones who explains it all so well and clearly. _ O _ ❤👍👍👍👌👌👌❤

[@SneedTheSeed]

Holy shit, for the longest time I have been thinking of switching my daw up just because I was so annoyed of ever using FL's automation system, but this just might be the dealbreaker for me to stay put. God bless you Micheal 🙏

[@raziel9515]

Thank you you are very very helpfull...... Greetings from Germany

[@seanpuello]

Those 1st 2 tips would definitely be helpful to me

[@dodzidenudzakuma]

I always find your videos extremely helpful. The one thing in FL that I really don't know much about is the default envelopes in plugins like: * Sytrus * FPC * Slicex * The Fruity Wrapper * ect An in depth tutorial about this powerful tool and how to use it would go a long way in allowing me to use only FL plug ins. Additionally, what to use the default equalizer for that available on each mixer channel. I never use them because I default to the parametric EQ for a lot of things. Once again thanks for all the help you provide the community. It's greatly appreciated.

[@jonasw6914]

Good to know, thanks! How about a video about your all-time favorite plugins that you particularly like or are unique? greetings from Germany ✌
