Hey merci beaucoup ! I taped FPC tutorial in french but no one talking about this shit ! So i traveled the world for improve my english ... just to understand what you said ! 9 years later.... i can use FPC ...THX DUDE ! ...Mes enfants ont beaucoup grandi mais ca valais le coup !
Well done. I came here from In The Mix because of open questions. You answered all of my questions. This is a much better FPC video than any other site. I liked and subbed, thanks!
I knew you were going to reference "In The Mix's" video. I have learned so much from that dude. Anyway, thank you for your time and your three videos. Please keep uploading.
That's so funny lol. I have had trouble seeing lately; I was working on a track a few weeks ago and colored my drums RED and FL Studio said "Brown". I had to ask my Mom just to make sure I didn't need to go to the hospital lmao. She agreed it was red. So don't feel bad!! They definitely need to fix that
@@tbrizOfficial I watched it last week, and found it really helpful - I have never used FPC before, and didn't really understand it. Since then I have watched a few other FPC tutorials by other producers as well, and found two other good ones. Right now I am re-watching this tutorial with a pen and paper in front of me taking notes, so I can set it up to work the way I want. Thanks again cheers
After I split my channels out of the FPC, I route the drums back into the FPC channel as a drum bus. that's kind of how Akai does it with their drum programs. you create a drum program, and each program exists inside something called a "Pad mixer" which is essentially a bus inside of the mixer. I love FL studio, I learned everything about sound and audio through it, even routing. A lot of DAWs are simpler, but FL lets you do anything your own way even if it's like 12 extra steps. Overall though, this is a fair video. I think the FPC gets overlooked a lot. It has tuning, and ADSR, layering all that jazz, and I think it's the least talked about plugin in the daw, even though I think it's the best drum rack FL Studio has to offer. Sucks you gotta create the drum kits yourself, but it's no different than a real MPC. and I think there's FPC expansions/presets around. I know you can save the drum kits you make inside of it too.
My issue with using presets for FPC is that it keeps the same name in the mixer. So if you put a kick where a Snare was , the mixer will say “Snare” until you rename it. Which can get cumbersome. No Other DAW is like this. It’s automatic in other DAWS
Great video, will be trying this tonight, I have a quick question. Is the group channel required as the main channel had all the drums running through it. Once you grouped them what then happens to the fpc on insert 1. Thanks.
If I recall, the actual FPC track doesn't have a signal at that point... Sort of just a placeholder... But honestly I am going by memory, it's been a while since I made this video. Grouping everything to one insert makes it so total volume of all drums can be changed as a whole... I don't have time to rewatch the video otherwise I would check and see what I did, so just going by memory LOL... Best way to find out is to follow along and try it out! Thanks for the comment ✌
Beautiful, i learned something new. Thanks for that information. What, if i want to slice some drumloop and add that to the Fpc.. Is there some easy way to do it? I know how i can use slicex and add one slice at a time to Fpc, but it´s hard and slow way to do it. Any faster way?
I am actually in the process of doing that myself for something... Maybe I will make a video on it. Keep an eye out will try to put that up soon. Thanks for the comment. ✌
Can you set up MULTIPLE FPC's at once, and control (trigger) them from external controllers, individually? (Like, for instance, by specific midi channel mapping... FPC 1 gets triggered by incoming channel 1 midi, and FPC 2 gets triggered by incoming channel 2 midi messages... Possible?
I believe it is possible... I have had 2 midi controllers locked to different channels, one for midi drums, and one midi keyboard. Though I don't remember how to do it. Try to google "fl studio lock midi controller to one channel"... though I think if you right click the channel, go to "receive notes from" and then select your midi controller, it will lock that controller to your one channel, and then do the same on the other channel for your other midi controller.
I think the actual 'FPC' insert is not being used anymore, once all the individual inserts are routed to the 'Group' Insert (is that right ??). Can all the individual percussion instruments instead be routed to the 'FPC' insert and use it as the group insert (and do away with the group insert altogether) ?? or am I missing something...
Hi Jako, Here's my thinking on that... The FPC insert is still being "used" even though it is no longer getting an audio signal. Look at the channel rack... What insert is the FPC channel connected to? Even though we rerouted the audio from the pads to other inserts, that FPC insert is still very much connected to the FPC channel and awaiting an audio signal. For instance, if we un-routed any of the pads, they would default back to the FPC insert track... or, if we were to load a FPC preset kit, it may not have pads routed either, defaulting the audio back to the FPC insert. So I leave this track here because even though it is not currently receiving signal, it is still very much connected to the FPC and I would not use it for anything else. Setting it up the way you suggested may work (go ahead and try it out, why not) - but I would much rather have my audio separated in a way that I know what each insert purpose is... one insert completely dedicated as the FPC default insert, and one insert is completely dedicated as my group insert. To me, there is no reason to combine the two - I have plenty of faders to work with so might as well make them very specific to stay organized. I hope this makes sense. Just my thoughts on this and it is ultimately up to you to experiment and find out what works best for you! Appreciate the comments!
I'd have to double-check to see if that's possible, but when I set up some FPC drumkits, I just kept the kick drum with 0 for the offset (with snare on +1, hats on +2 etc) so that there is no "wasted" channel on the mixer. I still send those mixer channels to another group, but my personal preference is to have the kick drum on the very first fader (0 offset).
Здарова бро! Очень качественное и понятное видео. А можешь подсказать, могу ли я как нибудь сделать бинд или линк сайдчейна на FPC? Чтобы ударные например Кик и Снэр играли в содействии с Kickstart?
11 Minutes in and I just lost all of my progress because I didn't save my preset pad setup and I accidentally clicked the over arrow switching to another preset while just trying to minimize and now everything I just spent all morning working on is gone and I didn't even get to finish the video by this point.
Passed out because it was a super rough day at work, but I just went through the video again and quickly got back to where I was before thanks to your guidance! Great tutorial man! Thank you! I feel like I should have to pay for the amount of information I just acquired from this experience.
Sorry not sure how to answer that one... The simplest solution would be to not use the FPC since by default it puts all the notes into the same pattern. Hope you figure that out tho
