I watched Hours & Hours of these videos for Years & Years but still understand Nothing. I really miss the beat software I had as a Kid it was so easy to use I could make multiple beats a day but that software is nolonger around.
I think the best advice I ever got was just make the best you can right now, and then get one percent better each new song you put out. Before you know it you will feel really comfortable creating in the program.
Same here even I'm having problem s not being able to figure out how to make the kind of music I want, just the hacks ,, soo there's not need to stack patterns on top of each other just put in what you have and split the channels up?
Whenever I add a new pattern with the same chord for adding different sounds why it comes double in the previous one..i have to split for seperating..can you help me without splitting to make a different sounds from the same chord
Im sort of playing catch up. it ruined it for me when they removed pattern blocks, made it un usable for me. but it looks like they have sort of fixed that issue with the selector there on the side of the playlist.
Wonderful! Thank you. When I make the pattern unique , is there a way to also change the associated instrument with it? The original pattern was a piano and I'd like to change the copy to a different sound but it also changes the original patterns sound.
this is so complicated vs other DAW like Logic etc. In that you can just play and go on. right click new pattern in the Song mode and so on. This add new pattern thing is grrr
Could you create different patterns from one single instrument? (viola for example). Because every time I did it there is issues with CC1. I would like to record for exemple 10 different patterns using one single viola (without need to creating 10 clone from that viola) and I would also need to know if Im able to listen one particular pattern (for example "pattern 2") and record pattern 3 without causing issues in pattern 2. Actually when I doing this pattern 2 stop sound... Thanks for your help.
You can create different patterns. But if you want to have patterns play at the same time from the same instrument, then you need to clone the instrument.
Bro you don't realize how much this video means to me. I have some many ideas in my mind and I'm kinda new to this. This has been a great help. Thank you so much.
@@ProductionDen Hey bro! Thank You very much for helping us all here. I would like to know please, if it is possible to have more than one "arrangement" while creating a beat. For example: I have created a kind of arrangement for my beat but I want to make some changes in some parts of the beat but without loosing the "first version" of the beat. Sorry it is hard to explain. Thank again man!
Could you please make a video on how we can lock a pattern inside the playlist timeline? I want to be able to lock things in place so I don't have to worry about moving them. I use "lock to content", but it doesn't work. This is driving me nuts
Hi! When i try to "make unique" i cant click the option. So i can see it, but for some reason i cant click it and change the pattern 1 to pattern 2. Can someone help me please? :v
Right click on the pattern and choose the option called “clone”. That will make a copy of what you just made. And then you can adjust it to make it something new.
Anyone...please...where can you change to what vst in the channelrack the info in a pattern is send? I just started with FL. (Protools guy) This seems like basic signal flow but I just don't get it.
Select the instrument in the channel rack. Then press F4. This will create a new pattern that you can name. Then record with that instrument. Then you can select that pattern from the drop down near the transport control area if you want to focus on that. Or when you are in the playlist mode, you should be able to see all the patterns on the left side of the window.
@@ProductionDen Thank you very much for your quick response. Is it possible to change the instrument after you've created a new pattern? So when I've played some midi notes into a pattern I would like to send it to another (or several) vst instruments in the channelrack.
@@rogierdalsemvan8204 I'm not sure if you ever figured this out, as it is not the most intuitive process, but for you or anyone who is looking for this answer, this is possible. In the channel rack, you can click on the small rectangular notch to the right of the big block containing the channel's name. The thing you are looking for sits between the channel name, and the first notch in the step sequencer section. When you click on this, it selects that channel's information (whatever you have put into the step sequencer or the piano roll). Then use the menu Edit>Cut/Copy ("cut" will delete information away from the currently selected channel, "copy" simply copies it without the deletion). Then you click on a different channel notch next to whichever channel you want to transfer the beat/pattern to (second instance of a synth, a new sample, etc) and use the menu Edit>Paste. This will then put the information you originally copied onto the newly selected channel. You can do this as many times as you wish onto different channels. You can also do this on multiple channels at a time by holding shift and selecting the channel notches. Each channel selected will make its respective notch highlight green, which means copied/pasted content will affect those channels. When copy/pasting information from and to multiple channels, the top-down order is preserved; so whatever you copy that is at the top of your selected channels, that will be pasted at the top of your newly selected channels and so on. It is much quicker to use the keyboard shortcuts, but use the menu to familiarize yourself with the flow of the operations first. Once you feel comfortable with the process, you can use the typical copy/paste shortcuts (ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+x to cut, ctrl+v to paste).
Gracias! I have been enhancing my knowledge in other areas, and the pattern area was kind of getting stuck on what I first learned when I started working on fl. Your video has a lot of info I was wondering about ...I was just creating everything on pattern one. It was a mess I already had control on it but was still a mess sometimes and time wasting . Your video is of great help to improve and speed the workflow to let ideas got flow natural the way it should be to create . Subscribing btw
@@ProductionDen I’m using fl 21. FL 10 was easier. When I cloned a pattern I could just change one of the sounds on a pattern. The new one I have to clone then erase something off the pattern. Because if I change something up on the clone it will change it for all
@@ProductionDen I've worked in abelton live for a long time (20 years) but FL is so different how its set up and you explained what I needed after looking online for hours so thanks again ✌
Could it be possible to record several different patterns and that these remain in the sequence in order to choose which one will sound or will I leave it definitive? something like audio loop recording but with patterns
You can loop when you record midi. And it has a few options. It will either completely overwrite what you have done, or it will add to it. It doesn’t have a way that I know of to have multiple versions on one take. There is a way to capture all those takes in a sequence. There is an option up in the macros section that allows you to dump to piano roll the things you have played for a period of time. There you should see everything you played in sequence.
Hey I'm new to FL Studio 20 and when I make a pattern let's say drums and then I go and I make a new pattern for guitar working on my guitar notes erases my drum notes and I don't understand how to fix that can you help me
When you create a new pattern, it's like making a new page. If you go into your playlist window (F5) you should see pattern 1 on the left side. This would be your drum pattern. Then pattern 2, your new pattern, would be your guitar. If you lay them both down on the grid, you will be able to hear your drums and your guitar at the same time. Hope that helps.
@@ProductionDen thank you for this video. I'm having trouble with hearing the acapella audio clip and the chords at the same. I've tried everything. Can you help me?
Super cool! How would I copy/duplicate a pattern and send it to a different instrument? Say I have a melody pattern playing on a trumpet and I want to double it on a violin but not always at the same time. How would I do that?
Highlight the track you want to copy, use CTRL + C to copy the midi. Then highlight the channel want to copy to and press CTRL + V. Then you can open the piano roll for the new instrument and edit out the notes you don't want. Hope that helps.
@@ProductionDen Thanks! I was kind of hoping there would be an easier way like I see in some Cubase tutorials where they just drap tracks down to copy.

There is no logical signal flow in fl studio.

Hi from India
When I am making two pattern the tune of the selected pattern is coming kindly tells me where I am doing wrong
I was stuck on making the channels split so I can work on my pattern more, but now I know and it's all thanks to you!
Glad it helped you out!
I love you.
thanks

Thank u man
Absolutely.
Thank You so much for this video, watched several other videos that didn't explain the make unique function. exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for the info my guy. 😊
I just want to make music but this is too complex for me lol. I just want to make two separate patterns for one synth. Can't figure it out though.
Usually you would have to “clone” the synth to have two of them play at once
How do u open this pattern "Playlist" on the left wehre u can see all ur pattern
If you Press ALT + P the window should appear on the left side of the playlist
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooo THANK YOU
Please can zoom it to be clear
7:10...I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to do that split 😠. Thanks to you, now I finally know that! 😄 Thank You!!

Wheel looks pretty cool. More color the better.
It is a nice feature. You can even type in your own hex code for colors.
