This video made me feel so dumb. I've been using fl for like 5 years and didn't know you could undo more than 1 thing ...so much wasted time and frustration . Thank you for this video!
The question at 4:10 Just hit F12 to close all the vsts used in the project Very essential to do before you save the work finally to help against crashing the project when opening next time
I know im really late, but just a tip to expand on the guy that said "Why does my beat sound more shitty the more I hear it" that should be normal, it happens because of repetition of hearing the same sounds and patterns over and over again. Especially if you're taking a long time on it. It's just kinda tormenting for the brain and that's where you start to hear the "shittiness" of it. A way you can tell if its not shitty is by not listening to it at all for an entire day or two, come back and listen to it, and it should sound better.
At 03:14 for the maximum zoom-in problem caused by accidentally CTRL-Right Clicking, you can just CTRL-Right Click again and it should zoom back out to where you were before.
FIX FOR DEFAULT TEMPLATE ISSUE: If you go to general settings and look at the bottom right there's an option to change the default template to whichever one you like! Found this video looking for tips on midi stuff but got great other stuff, thanks!
I have a problem. When I playback my beats sometimes certain parts on the audio track(808’s for example) that are linked to the mixer just muté themselves for a certain period of time and it is very aggravating
5:22 Instead of "making sure everything is tidy and nicely cut" I just select the area that I want to copy by right clicking on the brower bar thingy at the top with right click - Then you have everything inside selected, whether it starts/ends there or not. You can even de-select everything and just copy one sample over and over (but with your selected time) with that.
How to fix: when recording vocals, if the take isn’t good, undoing it so you can record again..the next take appears on the next track...if you undo then do another take, it appears on the track after that one...and repeat..after like 10 takes..instead of having your vocal be on the first track in your playlist...it’s lost further down in another track...it’s so annoying when recording
Even though this video was posted a year ago, I'm gonna leave this here. DONT save FL files to your desktop. I had a file corrupt when exporting a few years ago that caused 100% disk and CPU usage whenever it was visible in the file explorer. I should mention it was an exported music file, I'm unsure if it was WAV or Mp3, because I always mix down both, including individual mixer channels. Made my computer literally unusable and in need of a hard reboot. I was lucky that it wasn't on the desktop, because I would never have been able to fix the issue. It persisted in safe mode as well, and the only reason I could delete it is because I used command prompt. I did some looking around and found someone with the same issue from years before I even had the issue and someone in the thread said that it's a problem that, although rare, has persisted with FL for quite some time. I don't know whether or not it's been patched since, but it's not worth the risk to me. Before anyone says it, no, I did not pirate FL. I legitimately own it currently, but I was using the trial version at the time. Just a word of warning.
Might have been related to you not being allowed to reopen saved projects when you're in the trial mode- so I would think that it probably is related to using the trial version. Might have caused some sort of infinite loop between your OS and FL Studio of: "Am I allowed to open this?" "Yea, but you can't OPEN it." "But can I open it tho?" "Yes, but..." (also sorry for the revival of a 1 year old thread, just wanted to hopefully add something to this as it seems like a pretty devastating bug!)
If you have an instrument you can play over the scale notes to get an idea. If not, I sometimes convert the audio to midi and figure the key from the notes
Finding a root note by ear (playing different notes on fl keys until one sounds like the root) usually works for me. Plus, maybe it's also training my ears
I'm new to Fl studio and I was working on a song on the demo version, when I opened one of the plugins on the Synth classics-Toxic Biohazardz, the whole song became muted, even the exported audio. i wish I would've had the full version.
Close all windows (F12) - Closes all windows in FL Studio. Close all plugin windows (Alt+F12) - Closes only, and all, plugin windows. Close all unfocused windows (Ctrl + F12) - Closes all unselected (unfocused) windows . Align all channel editors (Shift + F12) - Arranges all Channel plugin windows to align to the top-left corner of the focussed plugin. NOTE: This will not work with 'Detached' plugins. Realign windows (Shift+Ctrl+H) - Restores the default-install layout.
Literally just discovered this by accident while watching your video and trying stuff out, if you hold Ctrl and right click in piano roll, it'll zoom ALL the way in and if you right click again it'll zoom ALL the way out.
Simpler solution for the zoom problem: Just control + right click without dragging. And also you can zoom vertically by pressing the mouseweel and holding control
i need some advice, whenever i try recording notes, it just puts 1 note on the start of each bar and it just does it on C5, i have checked recording settings and i've made sure there isn't things wrong however it wont record the note pattern i try this is a new random issue thats started it never use to do this before
3:25 this can happen when you use x2 time, the main reason is that gross beat can't predict the sound, so it just starts it after some time when it has enough sound information
Umm I was messing around with plugins right after I finished a beat and I came across the sampler called DIRECT WAVE And somehow I clicked it and now I can’t hear nothing at all no audio nothing PLEASE HELP
4:25 I need help, it doesnt play from the top, it keeps saying i have piano roll highlighted. I click it off but it still plays as if its in piano roll highlighted. Please help
for the ''how to close every plugin'' problem its easy u dont even need to click on the playlist because even though u do that the plugins interfaces will still be open in the background just click f 12 and your are gonna solve it plus save some cpu
I’m trying scroll down on my playlist arrangement and everything keeps getting blown up and when I try to delete something by right clicking it. It just plays back the audio. How do I stop this?
piano roll and channel rack, when i select cut itself, my track will play normally, but i have to cut ALL of them in order to so, when i stop playing, the music keeps going but slower and deeper until i hit stop for a second time
@ 3:20 here’s a shortcut for zooming out/in vertically: Alt+scroll up (to zoom in vertically) Alt+scroll down (to zoom out vertically) Hope that helps, Harshita A 13-year-old music producer from India😃😄😄
on finding what the root notes of the chords are in a chord progression. If you have a guitar tuner you can just cut the loop in to parts and then play them individualy and use the guitar tuner to find the notes. :)
you might like ultrawide monitors. They are great imo. I've seen people shrug them off as a gimmick but I don't think I can go back to a normal width monitor after having an ultrawide. it's like a monitor and a half wide
i placed one kick down and it started playing this weird pattern that i didn't make and dont want, and i had the pattern section stretched out with only 1 kick at the beginning and it wont stop doing it on all of my projects..
4:19 the VSTs are still open in the background and using slightly more processor power than they would be if you actually clicked the 'X' not a big deal if you're computer is beefy, but for those working with weaker hardware, that could lead to some latency later on.
Word haha. I used the Arturia OBx AV VST plugin for my synth work, and if I have more than one instance open and hit play it will basically make FL unusable lol.
I just have one question.. I'm not able to use anymore alt + c + p for the cut option, pencil etc.. Simple stuff what did I press and I'm not able to use them anymore?
3:53 is as far as i understand and also looking for an answere to, because when i record sth. u usually end up stopping the record and recording over at the same minute lets say min 1.23min and if u wanna restart the track afterwards u will still start at 1.23min. I opened a new project, restarted fl & my pc and nothing helped... im pretty stuck
Yooo Simon , to Zoom out faster on piano roll try pressing Left Shift + 4 or Left Ctrl + 4 ! (any number from 1-3 will also resize to other zoom preferences) , lemme know if this helped !
Can someone please help? The issue I have is that when I open the FL studio file, there are no errors. It opens as normal. All of the drum sounds play, but the sample itself is not playing, even though the chops are still there, and the file is still on my PC in the same place, (i.e. FL is not trying to find it). It's still chopped in Edison, but it just doesn't play in the piano roll or sequencer.
@Servida Music why do my things not work when fl studio is opened. if i open fl and watch youtube the videi gets an error and all applications have no sound .pls helppppp
To close all the plugin tabs when u open FL, just put em all behind hte mixer, rack etc. with the time u get em all closed or u forget about it :D but i think they added an option for this after all these years

3:11 you can quick zoom out again by ctrl+right clicking anywhere.

Not a problem, but a solution:
If you're using the demo version of FL it wont let you save a project unless you have internet connection

For the accidental zoom you need to do it again
This will undo the zoom
To close all those pesky plugins, hold the escape key and use tab to cycle between any windows!
Edit: Hit F12 to close all at once
