Fl Studio Reset Mixer Update Focusing Mainly

This is a maintenance update focusing mainly on bug fixes and some commonly requested adjustments to the new 20.1 workflow updates.

Notes can easily be moved, deleted, lengthened or shortened.

That means a lot more people are being tempted to take the Fruity route.

Our guide for anyone new to FL continues with a look at working with Patterns in FL Studio 20 and how they can add some speedy variation to your track.

We are assuming that you have used other DAWs before (although that is not essential) so the idea of these tutorials is to show you how FL Studio may do things differently but still simply compared to ways you might be used to in other DAWs.

Understanding just these two elements will give you that Eureka moment, as youll realise that these are the core of the program.

You create complete tunes with this Pattern approach but, within it, the Piano Roll editor offers a familiar recording and editing environment for traditional DAW users.

The advantage of using Patterns is quickly realised when using the Clone option from FL Studios many features.

Many traditional DAW owners will be acutely aware that looping beats is the scourge of modern music production, but this pattern-based approach allows you to quickly and easily introduce some much-needed variation.

After perfecting our sounds and beats, we move onto adding a synth bass.

Again, you could simply use the step sequencer to fill notes in but a more flexible approach brings in the Piano Roll editor that allows you to record in notes either by drawing or playing them in.

As a traditional DAW user, you might want to keep the beats on one track and the bass on another, but you dont have to.

As we show, moving the bass onto the same track as the beats makes no difference as each Pattern will play the same thing no matter where you put it on the Playlist.

Join us for part 3 then, and in the meantime check out our review of FL Studio 20 here.

We explained each of the areas last time around but for now were going to concentrate on creating Patterns using the Channel Rack.

To play it back, make sure the Pat icon is on (highlighted) and hit Play to hear your beats.

Then under the File section of the window that pops up, click the folder icon.

This will take you to individual samples supplied for FL Studio or you can select your own audio to load.

Here weve boosted the filter resonance and added a touch of reverb to our snare sound, for example.

Controlright-click the Pattern window option and select Clone from the drop-down menu.

You can do this as many times as you like, simply by selecting the Clone option, so rinse and repeat.

Create a new Pattern by clicking the icon to the right of the pattern window.

Then within the new Rack hit the icon at the bottom which gives you a list of available instruments to choose from.

Controlright-click the Bass part to get a drop down menu and select Piano Roll.

You can draw notes in or record them live via a MIDI keyboard.
