MIDI Patterns vs Audio Clips - FL Studio 20 Basics

Today we have another FL Studio basics video to add to the playlist - Midi Patterns vs Audio Clips.
In this video, I will show many of the different workflow options available in FL Studio 20 along with some shortcuts to help you too.
►Time Stamps

1:20 - CPU and Ram Performance
2:20 - Are drums louder on the playlist?
4:30 - Issues when changing the key/pitch of the song
7:10 - Using loops for inspiration
8:50 - Finding the notes of a bass line
10:45 - Drum/sample transient aligning
13:50 - Peace of mind in your project
14:25 - Longer samples are better on the playlist
15:25 - Which sounds better when exported?
►Shortcuts Used
F4 = Create new pattern
F6 = Open Channel Rack

just want to say something about velocity. So the velocity does not equal volume. I'd rather say that the lower the velocity is, the softer the attack gets. Of course lower attack will (especially in short sounds, like snares, hats, etc.) make the sound quieter, but then increasing the volume can create new sounds. Playing with the velocity can really chance the sound of snares or hats, make them softer or harder. Little tip: if you want to make your hats sound more natural, lower the velocity of every 2nd hit; it creates more "groove" and swing by itself. TL;DR: velocity ≠ volume hope that helps some new producers on their way! and keep up the great content man🙌🏼 (and sorry if the english wasn't good, i'm german)

[@inthemix]

@@pepe9022 Hi, in this particular case of a non multi layered sound, the velocity does equal the volume. The attack of the sample is identical across all velocity values besides the amplitude of the waveform. However, an important point you were getting at, is that on many synths and drum machines,a higher velocity will so alter the sample layering and the attack/release of a sound. So it's well worth experimenting with and finding what sounds amazing to your ears. Thanks for the comment :)

I think FL is in Belgium. He might not be fluent in French, and they may not be good at explaining their concepts in English. He could literally package these videos & sell them, but that'd minimize his mission to grab the 💰. There are tons of guys doing intricate editing, but he's actually walking you through each step and feature like he's learning on the fly and sharing it. It works!!💪💪💪

[@jolam8028]

"Different people, different workflows" Just right man! I like how you don't put out your ideas and tutorials as the one truth, but rather as an opinion, one way of doing it. Very enjoyable content as always, keep it up mate!

[@inthemix]

I appreciate that. I've seen so many different minds working so creatively in a DAW, there is certainly no "One Truth" in this game :)

[@Music-tg5is]

! TIP ! - FL Sudio now features an even easier & faster method for transposing the key of multiple MIDI Patterns all at once. Just hold down 'CTRL' (and/or 'SHIFT') and 'left-click' each (or all) of the MIDI patterns within the playlist's *'Picker Panel'* that you wish to transpose. Then, simply 'right-click' anywhere within your selection and select 'transpose' from the 'pop-up menu'. Enter the value you wish to raise or lower the pitch by in semitones (inlude a minus sign '-' before a value, to pitch shift down). This new method allows you to change the key of all MIDI Patterns in a project in seconds, bypassing the previous requirement of manually changing each individual pattern's key within the Piano Roll one-by-one.

[@flstudio_ip]

This rabbit hole goes as deep as you want :)

[@jameslittle6280]

Wow great tip. I wish I knew about this before I just transposed 30 patterns manually in the piano roll haha

[@inthemix]

I can't believe I didn't know this!

[@Music-tg5is]

@@jameslittle6280 Hahaha! Tell me about it. The 'transpose' shortcut function is a pretty recent addition I believe. So it was an easy one to miss. It will come in handy next time, ay? 👍😉

From an old fart who tinkers with FL Studio when he gets chance, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for this, and all, your videos. They are consistently some of, if not *the*, best tutorials available...really clear, really straightforward and just a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@ryanf3951]

this is probably my favorite channel for fl studio-related things. i just love how it's always on point and so clean that makes me feel comfortable learning from here. thanks a lot! keep it up and wish you all the best!!! - ryan

I’m so grateful for you and every video you’ve recorded so far,that’s incredible to have such material to rely on when starting out,haven’t got the equipment yet,but it feels like I won’t get lost as soon as I open FL..THANK YOU

[@Robay146]

I've been using FL for a while, and I still didn't know about the 'Ctrl+B' short-cut. You are amazing as always!

I didnt even think I needed to watch this yet 15 minutes later Im still here. I think thats a testament to how well done your videos are my friend. Keep up the awesome work!

Hi Michael! Love your vídeos and the way you explain everything! I started using Fruity Loops 20 years ago and we had nothing like this to get started, so nowadays this is a blessing! Thank you so much!

[@afroboy211]

Amazing video, you are the best! Thanks a lot for all these videos!!!

[@snowdjagha]

Your videos have been a blessing for me. They are really well explained and highly detailed, always going a little beyond your main subject in the video with really nice tips, which for beginners like me is really helpful. I've been a Reason user for like 15 years or so and starting from scratch in FL took a bit of adjustment from me lol. So I just wanna thank you and say that I love your channel!

[@ternitamas]

Glad these are back. Really useful tips!👏

[@lordaathras]

I’m a fervent user of Ableton Live, but I really appreciate a lot of the capabilities that FL Studio has especially with the later versions. I honestly haven’t thought of using loops for inspiration to be really helpful, and it’s something people should consider not only as a novice but in the case they hit a bit of a road block musically. Thanks a lot for the video, I learned quite a bit here! :)

Alright... I’ve been watching a ton of tutorials from a variety of people. Mike has been the most clear, informative and thoughtful in all his tutorials. I even use some of his analogies when I teach electronics. The visual and audio examples for engineering such as FIR and IIR as explained by Mike in other videos makes the math come to life. Thank you so much for making these!!! The best! Now I need to convince the wife for me to become a patreon supporter. =]

[@waxdip]

Thank you very much, man. This is an excellent video, I'm a beginner on this software and you taught me all the basics I know now (not just this video but the others too). The positive point is that I am not an anglophone but did not need any help to translate, you speak very slowly and clearly, so non-native English speakers understand very quickly without effort.

Hey Michael Nice, clean & informative video as always. I never miss any of your videos :) I just wanted to add a quick tip. If we want to adjust the midi notes by few semitones up or down, we can do that from the picker panel as well. Just right click on your pattern in the picker panel and select the transpose option and but the semitones values in +ve or -ve as required and you are done. Cheers!!
