    Do you guys use automation in your beats? Or do you keep it raw?

      Navie i heard other producers on youtube saying that simplicity is key in beat making including automation clips , is there a certain amount of automation clips i should consider making or is more of what i think the beat needs, should i be worried that an artist might not enught space if i use to many FX and automation clips ?

    All your tutorials are AAA level. Before discovering your channel, I was watching shallow tutorials on different random TH-cam channels trying to grasp very basic concepts in FL without much success. My motivation to be a beat-maker had started dwindling very fast. But when I discovered you two weeks ago, and after going through your library of tutorials, I have no doubt that I struck a goldmine of relevant information for a complete beginner like me. My motivation is back at 120%. Some people create content just to get views and get paid, but your content tells me you do it because you really understand exactly what a beginner like me needs to get started, and you do it selflessly. What you have is a complete FL Studio syllabus that starts from A to Z, explained in a very simple manner. I can't thank you enough man.

      Thank you very much Ken. The problem you talked about was a big motivation in why I chose to start a channel. I looked at other channels and thought I could do a better job in some ways. And so I actually did something about it!

      @@Aqi_momo fair enough, thanks for your input man. Automation is definitely more of an advanced technique that I started doing later on, so this might not be a video for everyone. I understand what you mean. Basically, automation is getting FL Studio to change parts of your beat without you having to do anything. So you can slowly change the volume of a sound in a beat to make it louder or quieter in different sections, or automatically turn an effect on or off in a beat. It's just a way to add more detail in your music.
