For YEARS I never saw the automation curves modes and I've used the copy and paste function quite often! I really learned a ton here. No wonder why my music still sucks lol! Once again, I know this is old but thank you.
+Mitchell Payne At this comment, you got your apostrophe switched. Your is possessive, and would have been correct. You're is the same thing as you are, and would be incorrect.
Doge, if you're talking about Fruity Filter you can find it in Plugin database -> Installed -> Effects -> VST. I had to refresh my plugin list before FL could find it though.
I'm impressed with myself for how terrible I was when I first started producing, I think it took me a year to even figure out that automations existed.
Hey Seamless at the third party plugin automation part of the video, you can also use the mulitlink button in fl studio to create multiple automation clips at the same time for third party & native plugins
Dear SeamlessR, You are probably the best FL tutor out here on youtube. Congrats on that, hooray ! But, why as a very rookie FL beginner, do i always have to play your tuts in slow motion back a 1000 times ? Maybe i have too little brain cells to keep up, i dunno, could very be. But maybe you should consider stop acting like you always have to catch a train, during your tut. With all due respect, you are a true FL hero. If you want to teach FL to rookies, keep your pace please. Just my 2 cents
Rob van Hees sometimes, it takes a while. be patient while you learn, even though seamless may be going at a faster pace, even if you are just starting and need to watch it 12 times before getting it right. you'll get there!
Rob van Hees Like Captavadate M said, it is better to learn to listen to him speaking quickly, rather than when you understand him more later down the track having to listen to him speak really slowly.
Super T Rev orrrrr....the dude should speak slower. while he is the pro, he is trying to teach those that are not pros. if i already was a pro i wouldnt need the tutorial. just my 2 cents
can someone help me, i don't understand what im doing wrong, ive selected the part i want to create an automation clip for followed what seamless done then created the automation clip but then when i play the part i want nothing has changed it just still plays the same way it was before. is it because im trying to use this on a piano instrument
For 3rd party plugins you don't need to wiggle knob to get it as last touched, you just need to click on it (at least for massive and other I've tried).
the way you say stuff and show things makes the mostest sense. and that's not me being fascist... i mean facetious. for real. also: the r is loudest when silent
I follwed exactly every single thing you did in this tutorial but when I've selected to put on a automation clip underneath my first pattern 1, the automation clip is not doing changing any sound what so ever..(I am on the trial version btw)
How come when I try to edit automation clips in massive, it labels the clip as unkown event and does nothing? I didn't pirate it, so there shouldn't be a problem.
In a project that's not yours, how do you know where does an automation clip comes from? In other words, I see a bunch of automation clips in the sequencer and in the playlist but I don't know what's being automated :/
I tried to make a clip with the grand piano, that one when you choose the volume, but the volume ain't rasing slowly. The volume of the grand piano is 0 and suddenly 100%... Can you plz help me?
How did you rescale 3rd party plugins so they load in normal size on your high resolution screen? I'm using a retina display and every single 3rd party plugin is so tiny and small... I've tried to bridge and open them on a external window and everything works fine... But I don't want to use external window to get it right... Do u have some tips?:)
HeArT™ (DJ Poizoneheart) it's caused by the automation to jump from lets say 100 to 0 in an instant, try going into [none] spacing and setting the jump a little bit before the hit
Hi, whats the most simple way to change tempo in the song, my verses and hooks just stay the same, its anoying cus i want to record a whole song with my guitar. Im confused, help!
Well, How do you record score (via midi keyboard) outside the range of a pattern? for some reason when I record score, playing a tune or a melody, no matter if I'm on pattern or song mode, it goes back to the starting point whenever hitting the end of the pattern length. Is there a way around it?
I had to watch this just to understand how FL handles automation when watching Seamless's vids. I assumed based on what I saw that FL put automation on separate tracks...and can even combine multiple automated parameters on 1 track. Part of me thought there was no way it did that. Seems like having to put automation on a separate track and mixing up parameters would needlessly clutter and complicate your screen. Then again I'm used to how Logic and Ableton handles automation. In those DAW's, like Logic, Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, automation is written on the same track lane that the midi is.....but you can expand and view all automation lanes if u want and then close it afterward. And each parameter has its own dedicated lane. FL is definitely unique in a lot of areas....
Sort of unrelated: When I route two kick drums into the same mixer track, one of them goes slightly out of time, making it sound weird. Like Kick Drum 1 plays 50ms before Kick Drum 2. This never happened in FL 11 and I don't know how to fix it.
They are samples. They are playing at the same time in the step sequencer. They are on their separate mixer tracks, but I like to group similar things together. When they are routed to their separate mixer tracks they sound fine, but with once I try to put them on the same one the above happens.
Jmvars Have you checked in the channel menu (you know, when you click on the channel itself) if the transient it's ocurring at the exact same time? Because I always have to trim the silence before the transients when I'm layering kicks just to avoid that. I'm sure there's a better way in FL to do that, but in this manner I always have my kicks starting at the same time when I drop them onto a sampler channel.
Jmvars Well, TBH, that's as far as I can tell without knowing your setup and what you're actually working into. However. Being a delay issue, can be a plugin, can be the phasing when the two kicks enter the submix (50ms would be freaking high latency though), can be the set up on the asio (Btw, don't use FL Studio Asio if you don't have an amazing soundcard and computer) , the keep on disk function that allows samples to be read from whatever location yo set it to (this reason is the wackiest and more impossible that I can think of), the PDC which would actually solve the problem if the problem were based on a plugin latency issue. So many variants T.t... I hope seamless reads this and addresses it somehow.
Hey seamless, quick question. I recently got fl 12 and i see that they removed a bunch of plug ins. I can't find any that deal with cut off frequency. Do you know what plug in can do that?
Hi, Is it possible to automate based on volume of a sound? For example, i wanna suppress a hat when the bass drum is playing. I would like to suppress the hat based on the volume of the bass drum.
Do you play a musical instrument? would you say your naturally musical? if no to both its going to be hard, its like trying to learn how to dj vinyl records and being new to the genre you are attempting to beat mix by ear..
You forgot to talk about the formula inside the "link to the controller" box ;-) and I think the time stretch for automations isn't knew but I didn't verified :-P
question: If u automation 1 thing in a effect/ plugin etc. for excample Ill be moving with feedback in a phaser effect so the rest of the effect parametres rest the same as it is or its zero or Im moving with anything? :Dr and in case Im moving only with 1 single parameter how do I moving with the rest... I have to create automation clip special for any parameter individually? thanks for answer :D
I know i shouldn't be asking for a particular "how to" in this video, but do you have any idea of how to recreate the bass from this song? (Like, all things...it seems like the bass has some strange "movement", maybe it gets reversed at some point?) soundcloud.com/seraphbeats/ruiner I'd be more than grateful if you taught me how to make such 808's
+Rohit Kumar In general, it means "make something happen on its own", that is, automatically. In music production, it means making the computer turn the knobs for you. For example, if you want to have a sound start out really quiet but then become louder and louder as the song goes on, you would automate the volume knob of that sound.
+dupress10 he can't, he's been seeing a therapist as a kid to make him go slower, this is as slow as he gets so practice speedglish, chat francais! :-D
***** yup, he told it a couple of times in other videos. He just thinks too fast and I kind of understand it, I'm pretty sped up too, and if I wanted to tell so many things in a single video I'd probably sound similar. And I like that kind of people, geek type, but that speed has one serious drawback: it turns off girls in clubs in less than a second :-\
I love FL but I hate it's automation and sometimes mixing workflow and recording..say if i wanted to a duplicate track of one vocal track with the same effects on another track i can't just hit right click and clone with all the effects i gotta save a mixer preset, clone the sample then add into the desired insert..its so tedious..then the automation is so clunky to draw with, fading in and out shouldnt be difficult, especially with vocal delay throws...i also don't like the way you record its too slow even with hotkeys, the track never stays armed either if you go on a different channel ..i wish they would address this
I am trying to render a beat with filters on it into multi tracks for mix and mastering, but when it is finnished and I play the indivigual WAV files there is no filter on it, please Help, I am on FL Studio 12 Fruity edition though, is that why
Seamless, you are the man! You've taught me so much in a week! Brilliant tutorials!
Your tutorials are the best man it's actually pretty ridiculous
For YEARS I never saw the automation curves modes and I've used the copy and paste function quite often! I really learned a ton here. No wonder why my music still sucks lol! Once again, I know this is old but thank you.
At 8:00 you got you're X and Y switched. X is horizontal, and would be time. Y is vertical, and would be position.
+Mitchell Payne At this comment, you got your apostrophe switched. Your is possessive, and would have been correct. You're is the same thing as you are, and would be incorrect.
+Jackson Lennon you are right sir, thank you for correcting my mistake.
Ahhhh you are all good man I just saw that opportunity and had to take it. Cheers :)

EEK! I am not. I am his long lost son Stphn O'lry
Man that time-stretching option is awesome. Will be using that a lot!
7:43 your face is priceless. Hahaha looks like you had some sick satisfaction, and then tried covering it up :)
Automating Third Party VSt , Thats some important info .....it really helped ...:)
Automation in FL Studio's is so powerful.
This guy is AwesomE !
Thanks again, this is new for me as I've never tried automation clips before.
you were very presumptuous in this video by thinking we even knew what an automation clip was. Which I didn't. And now I'm almost instantly lost.
+Macho Bravado It's pretty much a thing that lets you control knobs 'n stuff.
Florid Music I got it. Don't worry.
I guess he was also presuming you may be able to perform a google search. Shame on him.
thank you so much!!
Doge, if you're talking about Fruity Filter you can find it in Plugin database -> Installed -> Effects -> VST. I had to refresh my plugin list before FL could find it though.
This tutorial teaches you how to make Dubstep.

The stretch has been there since fl7 i am sure of it. Great vids

SuperTRev LOL OWNED
Super T Rev orrrrr....the dude should speak slower. while he is the pro, he is trying to teach those that are not pros. if i already was a pro i wouldnt need the tutorial. just my 2 cents
thanks man! these videos are helping imensely!
I use "Browse Parameters" in "plugin options" + Knobtweak, then right click on the high-lighted Parameter in the Browser.
can someone help me, i don't understand what im doing wrong, ive selected the part i want to create an automation clip for followed what seamless done then created the automation clip but then when i play the part i want nothing has changed it just still plays the same way it was before. is it because im trying to use this on a piano instrument
+Emilio Georgiou (Mils) I wonder too, and I can't find out! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!
+Emilio Georgiou (Mils) yep
Did you change the clip?
CoinflipperTv I don't know what I done but its kl i figured it out lol
Oke
thank you man! You helped me alot with this video haha omg I'm so happy for that!!! thanks
For 3rd party plugins you don't need to wiggle knob to get it as last touched, you just need to click on it (at least for massive and other I've tried).
Thx for the tutorial Seamless =).
Btw, did your phone rang at around 15:00 mark? I'm freaking worried for dc issues with my gear.
***** Heard it. Same happens here right before the phone rings.
Awesome I was not crazy xD hahah thanks!
Great Video!! Very Helpful
I need to revisit this tutorial.
the way you say stuff and show things makes the mostest sense. and that's not me being fascist... i mean facetious. for real.
also: the r is loudest when silent
I follwed exactly every single thing you did in this tutorial but when I've selected to put on a automation clip underneath my first pattern 1, the automation clip is not doing changing any sound what so ever..(I am on the trial version btw)
same thing is happening with me except I'm not on trial version
Thank you for this good video!!!
man you have realy helped me!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!! 😀😀
nice its tuesday right now a year later... quite a coincidence
Excellent thanks.
What are the uses of time stretching of an automation clip? I can't think of any.
Hey Seamless, what is the value added behind matching the Automation value with the band value?
7:36 Thank you! Problem solved
You are perfect thank you :) & im from morocco
How do you turn of the smooth automation? Like I am trying to do a quick volume automation but the movement isn't fast enough.
I'm wondering how he gets his systrus to sound like that, mine sounds nowhere close
He should have a Systrus tutorials in the older FL Basics playlist.
James Poh I'll take a look at em' cheers.
8:00 What you said is not correct. X is time and Y is value of parameter but the point still gets across.
how do you make an automation clip for an audio file ?
How come when I try to edit automation clips in massive, it labels the clip as unkown event and does nothing? I didn't pirate it, so there shouldn't be a problem.
In a project that's not yours, how do you know where does an automation clip comes from? In other words, I see a bunch of automation clips in the sequencer and in the playlist but I don't know what's being automated :/
How to open a "Default Channel rack" like that?
thx bro helped me out
it's not working with me the melody just goes mute when the frequency is low and suddenly back to loud again
I didn't think I liked this guy. I am glad I wasn't right.
I tried to make a clip with the grand piano, that one when you choose the volume, but the volume ain't rasing slowly. The volume of the grand piano is 0 and suddenly 100%... Can you plz help me?

Having the exact same problem, so annoying :(
Automation clip time stretching was in FL11 and probably earlier versions :P
KawaiiBatDesu Yeah it is...i often find myself getting a "crack" sound because of it...
HeArT™ (DJ Poizoneheart) it's caused by the automation to jump from lets say 100 to 0 in an instant, try going into [none] spacing and setting the jump a little bit before the hit

Hi, whats the most simple way to change tempo in the song, my verses and hooks just stay the same, its anoying cus i want to record a whole song with my guitar. Im confused, help!
Thanks
I added an automation to the volume knob for one of the track but it doesn't seem to work. any solution?
it means you fucked up, somehow.
Did you change it?
What happened to the fruity filter that was in Fl studio 11? I can't find it in version 12.

I'll have ta get back to that grove and actually fully create my own, this time. I let that go in the late '90's after I killed my 1sy. computer.
Omg... fruity loops is so cool!!!

I cant right click nexus knobs. How do I manually do an automation clip without right clicking?

Hi,
Is it possible to automate based on volume of a sound?
For example, i wanna suppress a hat when the bass drum is playing. I would like to suppress the hat based on the volume of the bass drum.
That is sidechaining. Look for videos titled like that.
Ahhh i knew i had seen a video about it once. Thanks!

by default "remove conflicts" is ON.
anyone please tell what dose automation means
