So grateful that Toby Maguire got some time out of his film career to teach us FL Studio. This is so helpful.
It's after this comment that I saw it's 'him' 🤣🤣
Toby Maguire, OG Spider-Man. OG Beat Dropper. Makes catchy beats like he catches goons
🤣🤣🤣 I grew my hair out even more now so I have in fact fully embraced the bully maguire look lol

I've wanted to learn how to use fl studio for literally 6 years. Every few months I open it, get overwhelmed, look for a course on youtube, find no course that tackles all the basics and end up giving up. This is literally perfect! Thank you so much for offering it and for your patience with explaining every single bit!!
same. only one thing left for me: Blender3D full course for modelling and animation
Yeah I got it 2 Christmases ago but didn’t have the basic equipment to thoroughly work with it until Christmas gone (I’m a singer first and foremost and didn’t have a microphone which I also needed for guitar) It is incredibly overwhelming. I’ve done a few covers already with it but I’m constantly thinking there’s easier ways to navigate the program and create. I feel like I do things with much more unnecessary complication compared to the ease people have online. Plus the shortcuts people use don’t seem to work on my laptop for some reason.😅
I literally have been saying the same thing throughout the course!! I really appreciate this.
Everything is fine but i cant download the "Essential piano" on free trail version of FL STUDIO. It's sayng to unlock first and to unlock i have to buy atleat 1 edition right? Please help me i really want to learn.
Faccccttttttsssss.. I been tryna learn FL since it was called Fruity Loops!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️ I'm old lmao
The content that we never asked for but deserved soo much......
Bro I was asking for it
You got it wrong buddy
I was looking for it 💀
you have changed the words
Actually, it's "we needed, but didn't deserve".
As a budding software engineer and an experienced musician, this is sooooo cool ❤️
Sound engineering
Fellow budding software engineer and experienced musician here. At first I was like "what? Is this really FCC?" Then I had the same reaction as you haha
Same
fellow budding software engineer and also budding hobbyist music producer! so funny seeing freecodecamp offering this, I'm using them to learn coding and now music production!
Yo dawg I came here to learn fl studio and this man is so relented he just gave me the secret to making good melodies. This is so helpful it's insane. I'm thankful to have stumbled across this video.
as a fellow developer / musician, I'm shocked to see this kind of content on one of my best channels of all times!
How are you combining the two together
I'm just being curious
yaaaaay, i am going to be like you!
so, 30 minutes in and i have to say as somebody who has never done anything musical this tutorial has been very interesting and easy to follow. i watched other tutorials before because i want to write my own music for a project and it felt like every other tutorial expected me to actually understand at least some fundamentals which i have none. i love this video and i think our way of learning is pretty similar (learning by doing instead of learning technical mumbo jumbo). and so everything is just clicking into place, and in fact i even figured out some of the things you were gonna do before you did it!
I'm an Ableton guy but it's so cool to see you're branching into this area.
Same, I don't use FL but I can't wait to see more music production content on this channel ! Freecodecamp is a gem. ❤
Would you recommend ableton over FL?
@@fbi299 They are both good, but I have the push 2 so I mostly use Ableton. You should use the free trial on both and pick the one you like the most. FL studio has a prettier interface for sure.
@@smartjackasswisdom1467 okay cool. Thanks man
@@smartjackasswisdom1467 nice reply bro. without favoring any daw. thanks for that.
This is an unexpected video, but I thoroughly support it 😁
I've used FL Studio for more than 20 years (first 12 years to a professional level, recent years mostly for fun) ever since it was a basic loop station called Fruity Loops with barely any capabilities. I was about 10 years old when I got a demo version from one of those PC magazines with CDs in them and got instantly hooked on making beats!
Yeah I can remember those days like the fl studio 4 or 5. There was less things in them but worked kind of the same like the current versions are.
This is basically the Blender Donut tutorial for FL studio. Thank you!
I've been using fl studio for years now, I watched this video just for fun! Solid tutorial and definitely refreshing to watch!
I also really like that method when you made the melody, where you laid down a rhythm down and THEN decided the notes. Definitely gonna try that.
@@guddy0202 it’s cool for real. I like it too.
Didn’t expect to see a FL studio tutorial on this channel. It’s a decent movement!
A decent? this is INCREDIBLY AWESOME!
You guys can't be serious! This is AMAZING! As an aspiring game developer this type of content means a lot. Thank you guys!
Same here, we got fl studio for our game production as well!
Yooo! wishing you the best of luck on your game development journey dude :)
@@dreankime too!
Everything is fine but i cant download the "Essential piano" on free trail version of FL STUDIO. It's sayng to unlock first and to unlock i have to buy atleat 1 edition right? Please help me i really want to learn.
@@AmanShukla-th6ykuse other instruments instead, there are midi pianos, or you can get piano sounds across the internet
I love to see a course like this because I was looking for something similar to start as a new hobby. Thank you so much for this!
Making beats could be a really fun hobby indeed! Good luck :)
I love the fact you guys are uploading tutorials related to other fields such as music. It would be amazing to see After effects, 3D modeling, editing and other courses next.
We need such.
tristian is such a friendly person and a teacher just so nice and has his humor here and there, thank you for your wisdom and your knowledge
It feels like I am coming back in 2000's 🤣 when I tried for first time FL studio ! Thats great that freecodecamp is publishing this guide !
Could you please tell me if this is this app he use I'm not good in these stuffs???
@@norahassan2372 yes that’s FL studio.
Just be aware of the free version (Trial version) limitations.
Loved this software as a teenager so worth trying again :).
"What's FL Studio TRIAL mode?
FL Studio TRIAL is functionally equivalent to the FL Studio All Plugins Edition. If you are using trial mode there is only one limitation - Projects can be saved but can't be opened again until FL Studio is purchased and unlocked. "
So you can follow along with this guide, just dont close the app/computer until you done with your project :).
this is totally correct, i mention it at the end of the course but it would have been helpful to mention this in the beginning, good catch.
I couldn't even download the Essential Piano pack in trial mode. Unless I'm missing something?
@@elizabethcolunga Same, it says you have to be an owner of FL Studio
@@elizabethcolunga Me too. I suddenly tripped.
@John Smith me too bro. Can't even have a essential Piano lol
as someone who is not a developper and not a musician, this is the freecodecamp video of all time
Great change of pace, I'm glad this channel is not "just coding", this was very refreshing. This guy Tristan nailed it, very helpful and calm presentation, kept it fun and engaging. Would recommend, great video! 👍🎅🎄
I watched this video to learn about all things again. While I started working with FL Studio about 6 months ago, I only knew half of the basics. This is exactly why I went searching to find a basic course video. And this is where I ended up. And I have now watched the complete video. I've gained a lot more knowledge. And this video is just perfect. Perfect for beginners! I would recommend it directly to all new producers. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this incredible video. Thanks to you and him, I now know a lot more! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!! ❤
I've been messing around with FL studio for about 10 years and this is the most comprehensive tutorial i've seen. i've learned a lot of things I wasn't even aware of that will save me so much time!
I was stuck how to go from the basic piano arrangement of chords, bass and melody to a song and this was EXACTLY the tutorial I needed, thank you so much to Greyson Nekrutman for taking the time to record this :P
I was using FL back in the early 2000s. I had no idea how to do anything and it seemed very limited back then compared to pro tools etc. I have just decided I'm hmgoing to learn FL properly and this is the best play by play I have seen so far. Good job.
By far the best fl guide I've seen. Literally made everything that gave me a headache go away with this video, everything explained so well and i picked up loads of tricks which save so much time too!
Wow, not only was this super beginner friendly and easy to understand/follow, but it was extremely fun as well! Def recommend this for anyone looking to start with FL like me :)
Bro I’m blown away at the quality of this tutorial. I’ve been a hobbyist music producer since 2000 and been using fls since 2016. I saw this thumbnail and thought I’m sure I know everything covered but what the heck let’s see if I can learn something new. I learned there’s a ton I don’t know 😂. This video has tons of great information in a clear way and a good pace. Great job and thank you!
I've been using FL Studio for.... decades now. I've also been a software engineer for not as many years, but so happy to see a collab here. I'm hoping this encourages the Software Engineers out there to start working with DSP, MIDI, and other elements related to making music.
Very cool collab.
Great to see this kind of content in this channel. I love programming and also music producing in Ableton Live!
This course was pure gold! After watching many tutorials, I finally feel like I have a mental shot of how to make it from the beginning to the end. Thank you very much!
That's Great Guys...Love to see that now the Music Production Tutorials are also coming...Thanks to the Whole Team & Love to see some more...
The magic sounds at 2:19:43 🤘
This is amazing, i'm halfway through and havent had a single issue with this course, already feeling so much more confident with using fl
This is so helpful. Thank you. Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you click the gear icon in the lower right of this YT video, and slow it down to 0.75 speed, it's much easier to understand, at least for me.
You are an Amazing Teacher/Helper! Straightforward no shortccuts that are just straight to the point!
Thats an awesome tutorial! Watched it completly from beginning to end. I totally agree, the most stopping thing is overthinking. I will try to just start and finish a song, no matter how "garbage" it feels like for me in the beginning. Thanks for the video! 🙏
I really appreciate this course! Thanks Tristan and FCC team! I have been using FL for 14 years and didn't expect a course on it here, but a welcome change!
I want to say thanks to you as iv learnt more from this vid than I have watching others for a year, and you explain it perfect you don’t need to doubt your teachings. Great stuff, Thankyou
I think I've watched this 4 times now, still haven't gotten all the way through it, but that's the point of VOD tutorials. I've been learning animation with Davinci Resolve for my tech shorts but have been using copyright free music. I wanted to make my own music for my videos and will definitely be coming back to this video for a while. Thank you so much for making this! It truly is priceless!
Oh wow, I never expect this channel to do music production related content. As a software engineer and a bedroom artist (Ableton user), I find this soooo cool!
This tutorial is amazing, I'd love to hear more from Tristian! He is a great teacher and artist.
Thank you. Best tutorial ive found. Every few months id try with other tutorial's get frustrated and give up . But this one you are patient and get right to the point with as much detail. I'm considering taking your course over the winter if its available. thanks again I'm so exited to try out everything you taught
The tutorial we never knew we needed! Thank you so much omg'
Absolutely incredible course! Tristan covers all the basics in a really easy to understand way. So glad this exists!
I watched all 2 hours and 20 minutes….there aren’t many Hollywood movies I can watch for over 2 hours! Every minute was well-spent. I learned so much. Thank you!!
Hi. As a newbie in music production it is great to see a video course that I actually understand. Thanks. Looking forward to watching more.
Never in my life would I thought free code camp will upload this type of video as a computer Science student and a music producer I feel free code camp welcomes everybody from each aspect
The way you teach and motivate us is so amazing!❤
23:56 He subconsciously got that blues in him
this video is a gem, I've been interested in making music for so long but been stuck on how to expand and improve my song, this video help me understand so much, and I can finally make my own music by my own. kudos!.
i can not express how helpful this was.
thank you for making this video and thank you for spreading your knowledge to the rest of us.
As an experienced recording artiste and a Mid level Software Engineer! I love this content!!
this is actually feels like a master piece to me, may its because i am an absolute beginner but i really like it. thanks buddy.
I got my first-ever midi mini keyboard just recently, since my mom wanted to send funds after I mentioned I wanna save for one. I got the Akai MPK3 Mini, since it's the best seller now. Back then, my main focus was Korg. Hehe. Both Japanese.
This is one of the best FL studio training for beginners I have ever watched. Thank you
I was scrolling through the videos section and was awestruck but happy at the same time when I found this video. It gave a spark of joy to the music producer in me who was left behind 2 years ago when the academic workload increased and i found my new interests in coding.
same here :)
As many have said, I sure as heck didn't expect a video regarding a DAW on this channel, but it is a welcome addition!!
I'd love to see similar videos about other DAWs, say, Logic X, Cubase, Studio One, and Ableton Live.... it is hoping for a lot but hey, lots of people would be happy!
thanks bro for this priceless tutorials. God Bless you
I mustered up the patience to watch this whole video and I'm so glad I did. You covered what I really needed to learn that most tutorials just glance over... and that's the relationships between the channel rack, piano roll and playlist in relation to patterns. I wasn't grasping that until I saw this vid
hands down the best video I've watched with good view of what your doing and clarity on how EVERYTHING works lol huge help
👌🎶 This beat has such a great sound to it, I'm loving it!
Cheers Tristan, this is really helpful. The way you laid it out was very easy to catch & follow, your a really good instructor dude. Kudos!
Man, it's literally the content I search on entire internet some months ago and didn't find it. This channel is the BEST CHANNEL o TH-cam
Just the tutorial I was looking for. Feel like I know everything neccessary to start making music and navigate through FL
Thanks for this course. You're very eloquent and explained progressively the guts of FL well.
Never thought I’d see FL Studio on FreeCodeCamp but very COOL!
Such an incredible course. Perfect for beginners. Thank you!
That was an excellent course. Just finished. Going to start again from beginning.
Thank you very much! This is one of the best tutorial I had received ever. I was planning to learn music on guitar for 10 years and never passed the chords part. But, this year is the year I decided to bypass instruments and produce music on DAW. This video is so insightful that I have enough confidence that I can achieve my goal.
Very helpful he is realy enjoyable to watch too .
beyond helpful, thank you for all the work your channel showcases.
4 minutes in and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for providing such a great video.
5 minutes I was eating chips.
thank you so much for provide us this great tutorial
Very great. Thank you so much.👏
very grateful for this video. thank you for taking the time to make this video.
I've been on and off about learning FL Studio since 2016. I struggle with ADHD and tutorials were always so hard to follow. Also.. English is not my first language so it made it harder. I had some few good tips around the internet, but nothing as good as this video so I must add my comment here to thank you. I can't believe I was creating a new pattern in my channel rack for EVERY instrument. This is so much simpler.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Not only do you teach well, your words are also very reassuring
I searched about FL studio today and this afternoon,i saw a notification from you about FL . What a coincidence. Thanks . I will come back to watch and learn. Thanks in advance
Thanks for this corse. I appreciate you explaining your thought process on making melodies. Excellent corse.
Not even 10 minutes in and my mind has been blown several times already, solid basics to learn here so far~
Thanks so much Tristan for this illuminating introduction tuto !
Wow! It's quite surprising to see that a channel that used to provide courses for programming languages and stuffs, has now featured this type of course in the field of music is just surprising :D
It is so nice of Dani to make a video for this channel after years of absence on his own one. Such a good tutorial
Credit to you brother; it's never really easy explaining this stuff except by showing learners in practice.
Learnt some valuable tips - essential tips if I might add!
I am also a music producer and i have used abelton,Logic,FL and Cubase and i am also a Coder. Its nice to see such content 😊
You make my base more clear. I really happy and lucky that i find you in this entire world❤❤
Hey man! I never saw a video as informational and inspiring like this, you made me love making music again :) thank you so much and greets from austria
i still think so
This is amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial ❤️
as a person that gets audio/music production videos on my feed at times, i had to confirm this was a freedcodecamp upload as well. was not expecting something like this from this channel.
I just hit the final chapter and I have to say this has been extremely valuable. Thank you!
This video is just brilliant, the way you explain everything and your energy throughout the whole episode is amazing. I’ve learnt so much and now all I want to do is buy FL and crack on
Big ups
this helped me a lot, thank you Tristan :)
Excellent Vid bro. Learned more on this than most others. Well done Tristan
It's funny that 2 days ago, I was looking for music production course and this notification popped up today. Wow thanks
Very good course. I learned a lot! Thank you so much!
Tristan, you are really good at this. It's hard to explain, but it is a really good totorial, the best I followed. The way you explain stuff, it's clicking something in my head. Also I do a lot of chatGPT stuff along studying. So I could keep up practice with some theory of music.
Thanks a lot
you are AWESOME! You are very modest, i super love how you created your vibes...
Wow !!!! Such a good beginner course. Learned lots of tricks and tip. You are a PRO.
PLS keep up the videos !
Ironically, this is what got me wanting to learn programming. I've been an FLS user for about 12 years. Should be a cool course, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! Extremely helpful!
