But it’s weird to realize that not everyone works the way you do…it boggles my mind when FL confuses others, but it’s because it’s my native tongue :) My most recent armor test has been working on this album for a client who needed professional-sounding filmscore-y outros, and god that pushed me to the brink of hating the whole project. But we made it, and the label listen through went amazing and everyone’s happy. Sometimes you gotta test yourself hard, whether it’s figuring out FL or writing a totally new style that you’re totally unfamiliar with. Proud of you VT for pushing through and winning 🖤

FL Studio has been my DAW for many years (since FL Studio 4) and really only for 2 reasons: 1) I had "acquired" a copy of Fruity Loops 3 in high school (which was already starting to implement some DAW features) and had gotten pretty good at it, and 2) when I got my first paying gig, I got nervous about using "acquired" software. FL Studio had just come out and was offering lifetime upgrades for the reasonable price of $150.00. I've never looked back. I recently downloaded a licensed copy FL Studio 21 without shelling out a cent. Now that is bang for your buck.

@_boof Год назад

I just recently went back to FL Studio after almost a decade of ignoring it simply because I started on it. I’m actually back on pretty much full time. Once I got over the “make unique” thing for midi clips, I realized how powerful and streamlined it does things compared to other DAW’s.

@vikcxi6666 Год назад

I've used FL Studio for about a decade now. There was a time, about 5 or 6 years into using it, where I thought I had reached a standstill. I assumed I had maxed out the DAWs potential, and I became frustrated with how it felt my music wasn't constantly improving like it initially was in those early years. I tried some other DAWs, like Ableton, but I never felt that comfortable with them. In the end, I abandoned my old music project out of this frustration. Those were dark times; I lost my creative outlet, and in turn, I felt like I also became lost without it. Late into 2021, around Christmas time, I got really high one day and was doing my favorite thing that I like doing when I'm high, which was listening to music. At the time I was really getting into noise and experimental music (Merzbow, Prurient, Sissy Spacek, etc.), and it gave me an epiphany: what if I got back into FL and just threw out all of my preconceived theory and techniques and patterns and just experimented with it? What if I just went all out, like creating a purely abstract painting of random colors, shapes and textures, trying to make something cohesive out of chaos? What if I just... played with it? After all, it started off just being a fun thing to mess with when I was a teenager. Why not try to revisit that mindset? What ended up happening was something truly extraordinary. I managed to create sounds I had never heard before. I was creating things I had no idea I could even make. Just like that, I was officially back at it. That creative outlet I once threw away had been fully restored and completely reimagined. I'm fully convinced at this point that there's nothing you can't make using FL. It's not about the DAW you choose, it's about how you choose to use it. Kind of like how they say the best programming language is the one you're most comfortable with, I feel like that can be applied to DAWs as well.

I am also trying to learn Reaper. I had not touched a music instrument in over 15 years. I used to play drums and guitar with a couple of local bands that basically just played the local bars and what not, until the heroin addiction got me. I'm 44 now, and finally have a small collection of instruments to start recording some music. If your serious about using Reaper, I highly recommend checking out Kenny from the YT channel "Reaper Mania". He has content ranging all the way from complete noob to advanced power user, his stuff has helped me immensely.

@@ethanwimsett the biggest noticeable difference for me is that the plugin workflow is wayy more efficient in ableton, you can add a plugin/effect/whatever in less than 3 seconds by just doing CTRL + F and typing the plugin name, while in logic you have to navigate multiple dropdown menus to find what you’re looking for. Also tweaking parameters is far easier with ableton because basically every effect is “opened” up at all times in the bottom bar, also makes creating new automations far easier. Also the quality of the ableton stock and max for life plugins is really good. As someone that often has 4-10 effects on any sound, the workflow change is amazing

@djAxisRR Год назад

Due to circumstances in my life, I quit making music back in 2010 and eventually lost the use of FL Studio as I was using an associate's copy to make music up until that point. I've only just managed to finally get a copy for myself and am finally returning to it after 13 years. Even for something that was second nature to me back then, it's... quite challenging now. That challenge and unfamiliarity was manifesting as an overwhelming sense of anxiety on the first day or two. On day 3, things just started to connect. Frustration and anxiety became curiosity and excitement, and then finally genuine purpose and an eagerness to improve. I really wish I had come across this video sooner because this comment will likely be lost in the shuffle, but still. Great video, dude! Thanks so much for sharing this one.

@weikaitsai Год назад

Learning FL Studio was confusing. I thought every DAW had to be like this. When I demoed other DAWs, I couldn't figure any of them out. So, I tried Reaper out of curiosity because it's cheap so I won't lose much if I dont use it later. Hated it at first, but liked it after figuring it out thanks to the youtube videos on Reaper. Then, every other DAW became very easy to understand. FL Studio also made more sense after using Reaper. Something about the way FL Studio works... Once I used Reaper, all other DAWs just make sense. FL Studio is really the odd one of the bunch.

How is the UVI software delivered? 1 serial/key for the entire bundle or separate keys for each product? I already own several items and would like to give duplicates away.

@VenusTheory Год назад

I'm actually not sure - I imagine it's individual licenses but because it's a bundle it may be one key for the whole thing? I'd ask UVI support for the details there. I had all the products from the bundle before the bundle existed so I didn't have to install the bundle myself and don't really know offhand haha.

What freaked me out was when I seen what Tim Bergling (Avicii) did in FLS... when he was only 23 yr old! I said he sold his sole to the Devil. He said he learned it because it was too cold where he lived and never could go outside. That's not it because I lived in a small town and there not shit to do lol.

FL studio is the second DAW I learned 3 years ago and it's the one I have stuck with. So I know how hard it is. I think what kept me going was the community.

Over a decade of not making music i decided to get FL again, and i came across this video. Thinking who's this dude and why is he about to make fun of FL studio and people who use it... But actually he did the opposite. Kinda needed to hear something like this. Hopefully my metal still fits 😂

@Xenowave Год назад

In my experience, the fastest way to learn FL I've found is to just hover over something you wanna learn and press F1. On top of that, keep the page of hotkeys open so you can CTRL + F the heck out of it.

(🥭FL STUDIO) *How to make House sidechain in Fruity Love Philter:* • Load up default patch • Turn on HQ envelopes (less clicking) • Turn off oversampling (saves CPU) • Set Filter type to OFF • Enable Tempo on Vol Envelope • Make a bar long LFO curve • Make sure you set the start and endpoints to loop your LFO TIP: If you want to move off-grid, you can always switch off the green magnet button on the bottom-right of the grid.

As someone with a hard drive of ideas and very little finished projects, this is inspiring me to just sit down and dedicate a day to building something. I work in the creative fields as a photographer and animator and can complete projects for clients and things I dream up in those arenas, no problem. Music is a whole different beast. Some of the tracks I’ve made that were the best received were the ones where I sat down and just kept it simple, didn’t over think it and basically willed it into existence. It’s so easy to get lost in the details and the process that nothing ever gets done. I suffer from choice paralysis and falling down the sound design rabbit hole rather than keeping it higher level and refining it later. Thank you for your inspirational and “behind the curtains” content. It’s a good, grounded wake-up call that can be applied to many disciplines.

@tom-541 Год назад

If you don't mind me saying (because I think someone will benefit from seeing this take) - I think a separate valid takeaway from this video as well as 'go out and make it rust', is to use your resources (including your peers) from day 1 rather than suffering - in your case: call Ben, "hey buddy, I've took on this project using FL - do you mind if I ping you if I get stuck in the next couple of days" in the first instance. This is something I see in offices at work before people learn that, it's absolutely ok to ask your peers about things you don't know - that's part of your skillset as a professional.

You know this experience? There's this artist who's music catalogue you like a lot, up to probably 99% of it. His music is that kind of stuff that you especially appreciate, in an ocean of crap of other music in the same genre. Then, some years later you learn this: He used FL Studio for all the tracks! Your first reaction is: WTF? Your second and more thoughtful reaction is: OK well, whatever. It doesn't matter what tool he used as long as I like it. I wouldn't use it but if it worked for him I don't care.

@legalizemolly2771 Год назад

My biggest gripe with FL Studio is how confusing the difference between step sequencer channel, playlist track, and mixer channel is. I wish one could make it so that all three are automatically linked to one another

@nuh-uhbro765 11 месяцев назад

I agree, as somebody who uses Fl and Ableton that’s something that just makes more sense in Ableton.

@scorch855 10 месяцев назад

Older versions of FL used to have a "pattern blocks" section in the playlist which is kinda like what you described. On one hand I do still miss it sometimes, but learning to use the main part of the playlist after pattern blocks were removed opened up an entire world of powerful new workflows.

I am a Cubase and FL user. I love Cubase, but there are definitely some things that FL is amazing for. One advantage over Cubase is that FL just references audio files rather than store them in a project folder, which means you don't have to copy all your samples into each project folder. FL also has one of the best piano rolls in existence.

At any point in the process, did you need to use an LFO as a modulation source? Did you succeed in finding one in FL Studio? If you did, was it where you expected to find it? Did it work roughly as you may have thought it would? Did you also succeed in stopping yourself from pulling all your hair out? (I can see the answer to that last question and I salute you!)

@RogerBrenon Год назад

Mastered FL in the early 90's. Went through 3 versions and switched to Cubase. When Studio One came out, I used it ever since. Taking a look at the new FL now leaves me clueless on what to do and has become completely illogical and a major PITA to use. The simplicity and logical ways you can use Studio One have made FL completely obsolete to me. Never liked loops in music anyway and FL is geared more towards the home loop users. Most music today SUCKS because of repetitive loops. People need to open audio channls. and start actually recording something instead of triggering someone elses noise.

haha! I've used FL Studio since I was 15 (I'm 36 now). Back in the day (when I was 16), I actually wrote a song that ended up in the "cool stuff" demo folder. It was called Unleashed - Ambience Outburst. Fun fact: Smosh actually used that track (without permission or anything) for their Food Battle series. So you know, over a 100 Million views with my track in the background, and no attribution. Yay. I still use FL Studio to this day becuase, well... it's what I know, and I love not having to learn something else :)

@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69 Год назад

I'm in logic it's the easiest to start in. I tried FL Studio and it's not bad but I am dead set on Suite. I had no idea how much better both of them are for Electronic music than Logic. Logic isn't bad though. Logic is very user friendly and a very great DAW to start in. Abelton is the hardest to learn if you're new to the DAW environment. Not too sure about FL learning curve but even if you're experienced if you cross DAWs you're not going to be fast until you learn the new environment.

What DAW would you normally use for this kind of work? I've worked with pro tools, cakewalk, LMMS, MPC software, and messed around with Reaper, Ableton and so many more I'm sure I'm not thinking of, but at the end of the day, nothing has ever felt quite as good as FL to me... Though I could see how something like pro tools would be good for a trailer project.... But I've always felt FL has so much flexibility that I couldn't find in other daws (well, maybe reaper, but I never quite got good enough there to know) that it's hard to imagine anywhere else feeling like home!

I am a long life user of Cubase, composing, arranging, recording, mixing, teaching. One of my students was insisting on learning FL Studio. I was resisting, I have no time to learn a new DAW. At the end I bought it and I started learning it the last few days. It gets me frustrated, simple things running or setting up in cubase seem like a huge obstacle here. The piano roll is missing (or I think it is missing) things I was expecting to be there and simple! Thinking to give up but then again I bought it. I will give it a try. FL Studio people there may be things in Cubase that you can learn from! Still there are some very good things in FL Studio. Some others not so good though…😮

The perfect DAW does not exist. Every platform has some great functions.You need to discover them as you go.Improvise and use what you have got atm. If Daw lacks some functions than 3rd party plugins will compensate.If everything was dead easy then you'd complain about lack of inspiration. The bigger ste struggle the bigger the reward and quality of production. I like FL studio.Some people show new techniques on YT and it makes life more easy.
