  • We learn to make lofi in the simplest and easiest way possible in FL Studio. No Music theory required. As usual, I find myself rambling on in these tutorials and I made no script. So I've separated the video into chapters listed below...
    00:00 - Intro
    00:31 - Chords
    03:47 - Adding Strum
    04:37 - Adding Lofi Effects
    05:52 - Pad
    06:43 - Beat
    09:10 - Melody/Solo
    10:04 - Bass
    11:27 - Adding Horns
    13:05 - Mastering
    13:37 - Cleaning Up
    14:55 - Adding Drum Breaks
    16:15 - FINAL PRODUCT

    Great tutorial, but missing some really helpful workflow, here's two real time savers I use on every project:
    - Instead of stamping the scale you want onto a sampler channel, configure your scale highlighting so that it shows the same scale on every piano roll in the project, regardless of whether or not they're in the same pattern. To do this go to Piano Roll, click the right arrow to the left of the wrench icon, select View > (make sure Note Grid Highlights is checked) Scale Highlighting > Select your Root Note with right click > Select your scale type.
    - Instead of cutting + pasting all the channels manually from Pattern 1 into their own individual patterns all you have to do is right click on Pattern 1 (or any pattern) in the Picker on the left and select the option Split by Channel. Depending on how many channels you have in one pattern, this could save you a lot of repetitive work and let you just straight into arranging your beat.

      Thanks this is super helpful! I learned the stamp and just assumed that was all there was but this way is 100 times easier. Going to pin this so it helps more people.

    Hi everyone! I wanted to make the kind of tutorial that's not intimidating or filled with music theory, but at the same time covers every part of making lofi. I think this is the easiest way and requires very little knowledge or samples. It's longer than I thought so chapters are listed in the description! Hope this helps you!

  • @allstringron
    @allstringron 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Man! For a musician that feels stuck and knows a bunch of theory, the 3 minutes of this video between 0:31 and 3:47 is GOLD! The whole video is really great... but those were the best 3 minutes of musical education that I've seen in years.

    • @MattMakesMusic1

  • @Fredrik-P

    Honestly the best tutorial I've seen cuz geez. Everything I see on youtube is them just saying "Yeah add a beat and something" and just makes it without suggesting stuff or explaining how you just "make" something

  • @MrIAmWeird
    @MrIAmWeird ปีที่แล้ว +40

    13:45 You can actually right click on where it says, “Pattern X” on the top bar and then click “Split by channel”. It automatically splits all of the channels into different patterns. (I use it a LOT).

    man you're so good at teaching. Most of the producers on youtube start showing off their skills instead of teaching people in a basic level and that's what pisses me off. It's like if you want to learn a new bike trick and person teaching you the trick starts to show off the trick instead of teaching you the trick. But you keep it simple and really want to teach others
