Its workflow is one of the most unique out there, really lending itself to making beats quickly with its excellent step sequencer, piano roll, and sample manipulating abilities. Of course, it\u2019s evolved over the years to be a capable audio editor and mixer, though it still shines primarily as a production tool.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Related:\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/digital-audio-workstations-everything-you-need-to-know-about-choosing-a-daw-in-2020\/\">Everything You Need to Know About Choosing a DAW in 2020<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/neve-summing-review\/\">Neve Summing Review\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/arpeggiator\/\">How to Use Arpeggiators<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in music making, you can\u2019t go wrong.

These all provide essential functions, and you should explore each of them to get comfortable with the layout. Options is an important menu containing general, audio, and MIDI settings, plus a plugin manager and more.<\/p>\n<p>Just underneath the menus on the lefthand side of the toolbar is a dialogue box offering descriptions of items and buttons when your mouse hovers over them (in the screenshot it says &#8216;MaxwellMcAllister,&#8217; representing who the owns the software license, as I had not scrolled the mouse over a button).<\/p>\n<p>To the right, nearing the center of the toolbar, you\u2019ll find the <strong>transport<\/strong> section: play, stop, and record buttons, tempo, and more.\u00a0You\u2019ll also find two playback options: <strong>Pat<\/strong>\u00a0(pattern) and <strong>Song<\/strong>. These allow you to switch between playing back what\u2019s in the Channel Rack (pattern) and what\u2019s in the Arrangement (song).<\/p>\n<p>Underneath the main time counter, you&#8217;ll find a universal <strong>snap<\/strong> control represented by a horseshoe-shaped magnet (where it shows \u20181\/4 beat\u2019 in the screenshot above). This determines the snapping\/quantization value of the grids across the piano roll and arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>Further moving right, just past where it says &#8216;Pattern 1,&#8217; you\u2019ll find more buttons.

Take it upon yourself to load in some of your own samples by dragging them from the Browser into the Channel Rack.<\/p>\n<p>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/vital-synth-review\/\">Vital Synth Review<\/a><br \/>\nREAD ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-dynamic-microphone\/\">Best Dynamic Microphones<\/a><br \/>\nREAD ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/cockos-reaper-daw-review\/\">Cockos Reaper DAW Review\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also see a number next to each track in the Channel Rack, which is its associated mixer channel. When you load in a new sound, such as an instrumental loop, you&#8217;ll have to manually route that sample to a mixer channel. Most of the time, I replace the 4 stock drum samples with the one-shots I want, and start any additional audio I bring in on mixer channel 5.\u00a0To the left of that, you&#8217;ll have some panning and volume control to help your samples sit a bit better.<\/p>\n<p>The Channel Rack includes a built-in\u00a0<strong>Step Sequencer<\/strong>, which you can see above. You determine the number of steps in the sequencer\/pattern using the selector in the top right corner. In the photo, it&#8217;s set to 128 steps, which is equal to an eight-bar loop. There&#8217;s also a\u00a0<strong>Main Swing<\/strong> selector to the left of that, allowing you to swing your drums so they&#8217;re not perfectly quantized should you choose so.<\/p>\n<p>To add a step to the sequencer, simply click the step of your choice. To remove one, simply right-click it.<\/p>\n<p>Still in the top right, there are a couple more buttons. Clicking the mini step sequencer buttons swaps all steps to notes on the piano roll.\u00a0Clicking on the bars brings up the graph editor, allowing you to fine-tune velocity, pitch, and other parameters of each step\/note.

You can do this from the\u00a0<strong>Mixer\u00a0<\/strong>window.<\/p>\n<p>Each track in the Channel Rack is assigned to a Mixer track, as determined by the number we talked about earlier. If you have any unassigned audio in the Channel Rack, be sure to assign it its unique Mixer channel as well. In the main Mixer window, you can see all the mixer channels as well as the master channel on the far left. By default, FL Studio will open with a limiter on the Master fader, which you may or may not want to turn off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inserts\u00a0<\/strong>are where the real fun begins, which you can view by simply clicking on an individual mixer channel. They&#8217;re represented as &#8216;Slot 1&#8217; through 10, and this is where you can add stock FL Studio plugins or any third-party ones you own, such as EQ, compression, saturation, other creative effects, and more.<\/p>\n<p>When viewing an individual channel, you&#8217;ll also notice FL Studio provides a simple 3-band EQ of its own to get some easy tweaks going on a track quickly.
