Just wanted to add, for 7:00 you can set "Don't initalize controls automatically" in General Settings > Advanced, so you can avoid that issue altogether.
@@inthemix the thing I said though is a little bit different if you still want the parameters to initialize when playing the song, which I personally prefer, you can just uncheck "Init song with this position" in the settings of the fader or whatever you have automated after deleting the automation clip I'm sorry if that information was unnecessary
A couple more tips: -Press F12 to close all windows. This is useful for cluttered projects. - Hold shift and click on anything on the playlist and drag it to create an instant copy -When using the slice tool use right click instead of left, that will delete the new slice I didn't know the hint bar tip, Thanks Michael!
No-one. That's a legit answer. The majority of learning comes from actually "doing" stuff, and videos like these are what enables trying in the first place.
Being a beginner is so tough and overwhelming! I literally hear the entire song in my head but somehow cant get the instruments to come together and achieve that.
Everyone even people who aren’t beginners have ideas in their heads and then they turn completely different when they try to put them into the daw. I’d guess that it’s pretty rare anyone gets their idea into the daw perfectly. They probably end up with some semblance of the idea and it turns into something else completely as you use the idea in your head to spark a new idea.
You're one of the most underrated music production or TH-cam channels in general. Your videos are very formatted, educational, and well produced. I really appreciate what you do, and I wish you the best.
As beginner you explained this in a way I could actually understand and follow along, one of the best teachers I've seen on TH-cam so far, nothing flies over my head
I've been using FL for about a decade, and had no idea about the always on background MIDI recording. This channel is one of the few where when I see "# essential tips for ______" there's a good chance I'm gonna find something actually unique and useful that I didn't already know. Thanks a lot for this.
THAT FIRST TIP IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING TO KNOW THIS WHILE TIME! You have no idea how many ideas I loved but forgot right after playing it. Thanks a million for this video!
Thank you for this fantastic video! I'm a complete beginner to FL Studio, and your videos are de-mystifying it so well! I have been tearing my hair out about the 'detach all plugins' option for months! I cannot thank you enough for that! Keep up the brilliant work!
"How to keep plugins on top"... won't lie I've been searching for that since ages now! Glad this vid popped in the rec and even more glad i watched it throughout!!
As a beginner, your videos are the best. I teach Adobe Photoshop, and like FL, there are lots and lots of little spots where menus hide and functions aren't intuitive. Often it is just experience that teaches us where these are. This sort of video really helps not go through the frustration since you've already been there and found the solution. Awesome.
Michael you were the person I watched to learn how to use FL Studio, you made it SO SIMPLE. And you do all this for free!! It’s amazing! You deserve views in the millions
Tip #2 a mistake that tons of people make!!! the volume in the channel should be at the same level that FL studio gives u when you load you Serum for example (usually 80%, - 5db) , and then if you want to lower the volume, you can use the fader in the mixer ! super amazing tips!! pls do more of these :)
Désolé pour la langue utilisée mais... si j'avais eu pareils vidéos sous la main quand j'ai commencé à utiliser Fl Studio, il y a de nombreuses années, j'aurais beaucoup moins galéré. Merci à ce jeune homme très compétent de mettre son savoir faire à la disposition de tous. Cela est très généreux de sa part. Immense merci !
This video has single handedly answered a handful of issues I was having. As a beginner I cant thank you enough for taking the time and effort to create these video. I have recommended you to a couple of my friends. You are the closest thing to an actual wizard. Thanks again.
I've downloaded FL studio few days back bcuz I've always wanted to produce music.. I'm 17 and have been learning guitar since i was 6yrs old. And your videos help me like crazy.. but most of the times i dp really get frustrated 😂 but you're a GOD to me!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man man man you are such a pro in doing these tutorials....CONCISE! .....It took me 3 years to learn Ableton,because it was not easy to find step up straight forward to the point instructions....with a little bit of dedication on my side ,I will learn FL studio in 3 weeks scrolling through your videos.
Some more tips - When slicing hold shift to make slicing heaps easier - when using select tool hold shift to select multiple sperate samples and clips throughout the project or melody - *knobs from third party plugins that dont have a right click automation option* ; fiddle with the knob for a moment then at the top of the screen middle of the taskbar theres a knob symbol click that and create automation. You can now automate that third party knob.
You’ve got the best FL Studio tutorials on TH-cam! Would love a tutorial on how to install plugins. Would be great to know how you organize everything.
I already knew this tips, but one thing I found new and interesting- hint bar, in fact, it’s better to see all the parameters in the right place and on the big screen. Thank you)
I particularly like those dump score log and detach all plugins tips even though they're great tips. As a beginner those plugins disappearing in weird places gets confusing and annoying . Thank you !
This definately has to be the most useful and relevant channel that exists on TH-cam. Every time I click a video I learn something new. Keep up the good work Mike👏👏👏
This is such a basic question, but I'd really like it one of your videos described the differences between: 1. Channel 2. Midi Channel 3. Mixer Track Thank you for your channel, it's the best.
Yes, try to imagine that i figured this stuff on my own. Before that i was starting all projects over and over again from the scratch if i failed some automations.
Dear, teacher thank you very much for the tips I've learn alot...becouse of you we don't have to struggle for making music in the software...no need special training... For someone like you who have such a humble heart to give us a free training... Who understands us.
i love your videos man... Im a young upcoming 17 year old producer from Botswana and im really learning a lot from your videos... keep em coming big man
Thank you brother... your videos are outstandingly helpful for amateur as well as middle guys working on FL. I always had that surface level knowledge in music production and i didn't really try to understand what's deep in it and how to make some best quality music... But when i saw your video, it makes me very passionate about music production... all the best....😄💘
The tip about the fader automation will save me from screaming. My issue is that the "Init Fader at this position" seems to rear its head on one fader or another. Maybe I touch it by accident, but now I know where to look to get rid of it. Again, you are making me love FL Studio again Mike. Keep it up Bro!!
Quality of this channel is amazing. Good job Michael, you are a great teacher! Finding this channel is like finding a gold coin in a container full of garbage.
Ohh man thank you so much !!! That volume automation clip was annoying me so much.. thank you so much man I can stress enough how awesome it is that your getting into these tutorials. What a headache I don't need to experience any more thank you thank you thank you !!!!
Man I think this is the most usefull video I've ever watched! I mean, all the tips are incredibly usefull and I almost didn't know any of them, but for god's sake, that deleting automation forever thing... Damn, it had been driving me crazy since I started producing 2 and a half years ago! Thank you so much!
Wow, I'm using FL Studio since 5 years and you are still impressing me with features I've never heard of before. Thank you Michael. PS. Because of your video I bought the Adam Audio A7X. That was the best decision I've ever made! Please continue making videos forever, you're really motivating me! 😀✌🏼
this is awesome seeing I just literally bought FL Studio 20. Its been years sense I have used it, and watching this video isn't really where I should start lol. but I'm glad TH-cam sent me here! Subscribed! now I just gotta try to make some decent tracks without a MIDI Keyboard, and get use to the piano layout on the standard keyboard layout.
a HUGE tip i found from a post from 2008. If your DAW stops playing when it loses focus (like messing around on serum or nexus, in audio settings, uncheck "smart disable" and "auto close" . it saved my ASS
The "How To Keep Plugins On Top" tip is also useful if you want to put a plugin or mixer on a second monitor. I always have my mixer on my second monitor.
Copying automation clip states is cool, I didn't know about that. i was just linking multiple parameters to the same clip, but this lets you duplicate sections of it and re-use them in a way that overlaps, so what you did in this video is actually better.

7:00 to 8:05
in the latest FL versions you can just right click on the fader and uncheck "Init song with this position"
I think that is a bit easier
@@editexel you are a Lifesaver! I'll include that in the future!
Next video pliz show us how to remove vocal from mp3 pliz pliz pliz
@@inthemix the thing I said though is a little bit different

WHAT???
F12 will save me 1 year of closing all the windows 😂
Thanks olbaid
@@Abhiplish wow the last one is gold
@@Abhiplish click f5 and it'll put all the things in the background and bring up the playlist
thank god iv been haven't been able to figure out copying sections without having to manually do exactly the same thing again and again
With videos like these who’s ever gonna need official training?
So true!! Michael is the best teacher you could ask for!
No-one. That's a legit answer. The majority of learning comes from actually "doing" stuff, and videos like these are what enables trying in the first place.
@@nenissaK Agreed. Just do it!. stay hungry boys
@@nenissaK bullensperm. On a profesh level its a whole nother story
I've been alternating between Michael and ChukiBeats. 2 great teachers with totally different production perspectives
Being a beginner is so tough and overwhelming!
I literally hear the entire song in my head but somehow cant get the instruments to come together and achieve that.
I have great ideas but when I try to recreate them they sound like shit :D
This is exactly what's happening to me. ugghhhh...
Everyone even people who aren’t beginners have ideas in their heads and then they turn completely different when they try to put them into the daw.
I’d guess that it’s pretty rare anyone gets their idea into the daw perfectly. They probably end up with some semblance of the idea and it turns into something else completely as you use the idea in your head to spark a new idea.
I wouldn’t expect to completely overcome this. Rather just use it to your advantage to generate new ideas.
Yess, i face the same problem too
"Don't spend hours and hours, but just ages." Haha.
Great video! First tip is mindblowing.
You're one of the most underrated music production or TH-cam channels in general. Your videos are very formatted, educational, and well produced. I really appreciate what you do, and I wish you the best.
Thank you so much for your kind words, that really lifted my spirits today :)
This was SUPERB ! .....& I've been producing with FL since 2012.
2009 , best program i ever bought
the automation clip part is like being haunted by a ghost that you thought you finally got rid of
When you said how to delete a automation forever, I almost start crying and clapping. Thank you a lot.
Make unique (even faster method) ctrl+shift+c
My mind is now blown. Thank you so much!
@@inthemix I´m glad it was useful )
Oh damn, finally some quicker solution. I had no idea
no funtion..;(
I always used the clone function to do that. Thanks mate for the info
Thanks for helping me and others understanding things really good in FL studio...🔥💯♥️
))
Thank you, you’re one of the main reasons why I started releasing original songs😁❤️
As beginner you explained this in a way I could actually understand and follow along, one of the best teachers I've seen on TH-cam so far, nothing flies over my head
Dude...... you just solved some of my problems :D Thank You man :)
I like that this guy doesn't go through everything too fast, even a beginner like myself is able to follow his tips

Best FL studio Teacher on the net...he speaks clear and slow step by step...love this guy👍🏽
Oh my freakin god. Thank you for the " Actually delete automation clip's. "
THAT FIRST TIP IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING TO KNOW THIS WHILE TIME! You have no idea how many ideas I loved but forgot right after playing it. Thanks a million for this video!
Me too, lost too many pretty melodies without this one!!
the mixer distortion demonstration was actually something i wasnt aware of. definitely will benefit me in the long run.
Thank you for this fantastic video! I'm a complete beginner to FL Studio, and your videos are de-mystifying it so well! I have been tearing my hair out about the 'detach all plugins' option for months! I cannot thank you enough for that! Keep up the brilliant work!

I'm amazed at how all of your videos seem so relevant to me. It's a great channel you have, 100/100 will recommend to anyone into music production.
consolidate feature for cpu heavy plugins! shift + ctrl + alt + c (then trim) best thing I ever learned for fl studio.
The plugins disappearing was frustrating. Still learning and these videos are saving me a lot of time. Thanks for posting.
Tip #2
a mistake that tons of people make!!!
the volume in the channel should be at the same level that FL studio gives u when you load you Serum for example (usually 80%, - 5db) , and then if you want to lower the volume, you can use the fader in the mixer !
super amazing tips!! pls do more of these :)

Okay that one hit deep! You're so right!!
@@inthemix Thank you for the effort you put into your videos, Michael. It is always appreciated 🙏
omg yes xD im so happy now bcz the struggle is over
Yes, try to imagine that i figured this stuff on my own. Before that i was starting all projects over and over again from the scratch if i failed some automations.
Harry Hermit Wouldn't right clicking on the parameter and reseting it work just as well? Usually works for me
Great video especially the "Search For Samples" tip that will really save me some time.

Found what Im looking for at 9:50.. Thank you so much.
Duplicate - left click - drag - mute original - edit copy. Got it.
i love your videos man... Im a young upcoming 17 year old producer from Botswana and im really learning a lot from your videos... keep em coming big man

What amazes me most about FL 20 is the programming that went into it
Another brilliant tip video from In The Mix. Saved to favorites.
The tip at 7:00 was worth the price of admission. Thank you.
I’ve been using go studio for like 10 years, and these are very good tips 👍
loved the clear and concise breakdown between the channel volume vs. fader gain! great example using the distortion fx.
You're incredibly likable and I love your tutorials. Subscribed at once!
Thx for all Tutorials 👍👍👍👍👍
I also ordered Fl studio producer and I got my first song .. I have always watched your videos and man can learn a lot.
That first tip was AMAZING! Thank you so much. I have been using FL for over 15 years and never knew that!
BirdyHead Hahahaha how?
Deadline Haha, I don't even know. I'm not so slow learner usually 😎
I use a hi hat in the channel rack at 2 counts per bar as a metronome almost always. Works great
Your one video explains what other TH-cam producers can't explain .
Love your way of teaching ❤️
Yep, I should have watched this a while ago. Thanks, Michael! I'm guilty of getting frustrated over actually deleting an automation clip.
Wow... automation copying is really a time-saver. Thanks
Wow, I'm using FL Studio since 5 years and you are still impressing me with features I've never heard of before. Thank you Michael. PS. Because of your video I bought the Adam Audio A7X. That was the best decision I've ever made! Please continue making videos forever, you're really motivating me! 😀✌🏼
this is awesome seeing I just literally bought FL Studio 20.
Its been years sense I have used it, and watching this video isn't really where I should start lol.
but I'm glad TH-cam sent me here! Subscribed!
now I just gotta try to make some decent tracks without a MIDI Keyboard,
and get use to the piano layout on the standard keyboard layout.
