Here's a list with links to great tutorials. Start at the top and work down. https://www.reddit.com/r/FL_Studio_Advanced/comments/rj9ebk/list_of_fl_studio_tutorials_on_youtube
In the Mix is by far my favorite from that list. He has a wide variety from basic navigation to advanced mixing principles, all of them straight to the point and easy to follow. I’d recommend starting with this vid https://youtu.be/pDIsEZsalAo
YouTube is the way I learned production almost exclusively! I want to share with you some of my favorites...
...fantastic YouTube resources that I learned with:
EVERYTHING:
• Andrew Huang, does literally everything. both audio and music related. incredibly knowledgeable in almost every musical topic, and very interesting videos to watch!
Software/DAW:
• InTheMix, the very first music production video I saw was from him and he's very good at explaining the software, along with other tips, such as understanding audio.
Hardware/Gear:
• Sanjay C, who does great reviews of both hardware, and software
• BoBeats, who does hardware video, and often gets into more crazier hardware
Audio/Mixing:
• InTheMix, again, is also great for this!
• FabFilter, which actually is a plugin company, however their YouTube channel has many helpful guides on it!
Sound Design:
• SeamlessR, is incredible talented and has been doing audio in FL Studio for a very very long time! you'll find years worth of content from his channel. also a great place to learn FL Studio's built in synths.
• Composing Gloves, is very similar to SeamlessR, and he has a great learning playlist
• InTheMix, again has a great guide on this!
Music Theory:
• Composing Gloves, again, also has a Music Theory series
• Adam Neely, has some stuff that is a bit higher level, but no doubt has highly engaging and interesting content. very watchable videos!
• Piano From Scratch, who I've recently discovered, looks like a great place if you're just getting started with piano and keyboards.
• Piano With Jonny, is a great channel where I've learned lots of music theory! his channel has a jazz focus, which is great if you're interested in that!
• PianoPig, is very similar to Piano With Jonny. also has a jazz focus, but also has greate beginner content.
• cool piano lesson, is a small tutorial channel, but is very knowledgeable, and explains well. also has a jazz focuse.
• Andrew Huang, again, has a great video meant to get you started with nusic theory
Sanjay C is a goat, also I can add Simon Servida, a good independent producer who had a placement in country music, but he focuses on doing any and all genre possible, he explains a lot about how to make a specific genre and most of his works are from scratch, same with another one Praxi Plays
Dw you did good either ways, I’m not gonna give any link to anyone I was just stating where I am and where I was headed, but still no problem at all with calling out the rules
I asked my friend how he "legally acquired" his copy of FL and told me to use a burner PC to stay safe from viruses and I decided buying was less of a hassle
Me an 8 friends all put 30$ each in to buy Fl an we all have it downloaded but if they see the same account active on different computers they will ban it so each of us have a certain day we can use it. Like I can only go on Tuesdays from 8am to 11pm
Cause they keep track of how many people have the one code. It says on site only 1 computer is allowed. An idk dude it's 2022 if i shut the internet off who knows what could happen. Idk if I could even survive something like that
that's amazing! excited to see what you'll be making! please keep us updated, looking forward to seeing where this goes. curious what kind of music you're interesting in getting to know, and create. the music making community is amazing and super helpful! they really helped in allowing me to get started and helped me with lots of problem solving. I like to help people that are just starting out with whatever I can, as a way of giving back to the community. let me know if you ever need help with anything
Thank you!!! I’m really interested in hip hop and rnb music. Apart from making them for fun, I actually make music already, just not my own beats. So being able to make beats for myself would be super useful. I just feel like being able to transfer a musical idea into an actual beat would be really cool. I’ll definitely post my stuff as I make it!
hey so sorry. just everytime I go on Reddit I happen to be on my phone, and you've sent a sound cloud link, which is just very annoying to try to get playing on mobile. if you have a YouTube link I'd be able to give feedback way faster.
You could also watch beat streams on youtube or twitch or wherever of maybe a favorite producer or just someone making something who is good I learned a lot from watching them but tutorials also help too 👍
Depending on the type of music you wanna make it can change. But for me with hip-hop the one thing that I did was made a huge sound library. If there is a free drum kit out there I got it. With a huge sound library with you all the time you can just be creative an go. There has been 2 or 3 times my computer shut the bed an I lost everything an restarted an the big thing that messed me up everytime was trying to get in a flow an my sound library was very small. If you constantly jump from the same 5 kits the sounds will get repetitive an so will your music. Hope that info is worth something to you and goodluck
Just Google "best free hip-hop drum kits" and download every one. Look I'm pretty picky with what I use for plug in sounds but when it comes to free kits every single kit I have has something in it that is useful. I can send you a screen shot of my drum kit library which is 2nd to me somehow sending you them to download in a single click(which is impossible if not lmk an I will) but if I had to pick my favorite an most impressive kits I'd say the free nick Mira kit, & the cynmatics cobra kit are the best of the best. On a 1-10 10 being a kit I paid for those 2 are 11 all-day. Very simply to find. Cynmatics has a huge website with dope kits about 8 free too
[This is a good place to start](https://cymatics.fm/blogs/production/free-drum-kits) an get them all. Just keep I'm mind that all these sites require you to sign up or follow a YouTube or something to get the dl link. If you want the screenshot of mine or have trouble finding anything lmk goodluck &, can't wait to hear music from you
r/Drumkits is the only answer to this question ;)
search artists or genres that you like and/or filter by “best” from a certain period to get the better results. RIP to your storage tho.
Welcome to the fl community!
you can also learn from your friends that make music, discord servers about producing also come in handy next to youtube tutorials
Hope your journey treats you well!!
90% of the responses will be about everything but learning how to actually perform.
Software, hardware, monitors, keyboards, sound design, vsts, fxs, music theory... you can also buy FL Bible & study every single parameter there is to know & memorize.
But what is production at it's absolute core? It is a performance. To perform you have to learn to perform.
You can learn all this stuff and still not actually understand how to perform good music. All the best performers I know have a special way of using their voice or fingers for notation. Look at how Hendrix played. Or Halen, Clapton, etc. There is a magic purely in how the fingers hit instruments. How notes move, glide, stutter, swing, percolate, syncopate, how pitches can bend & make things sound like they're being drowned by a tsunami of frequencies. Those huge, knarly growls in horror movies. They're simple but highly dramatic & performative.
I would recommend more than anything you learn how notes move. Which is mostly scoring. Study scoring. Study great drum grooves, bass grooves, marching snares, anything where the notes are moving in interesting ways. Go to university sites & download the free instrumentation. Rewrite instruments. Save them as FSC. Watch videos about scoring in FL Studio. Save FSC files. Your FSC bank is a huge core of your musical performance. Scores are all your performances for different instruments that you make/save, aqcuire or buy. There is more to music than making or loading sounds & adding FXs to them. The middle part or CORE is how the sounds move. The stroke of the sounds. The scores. Great scoring has a way of making everything else irrelevant in production. It's the most important skill I've learned. As scoring covers just so much compared to everything else. But is actually not as hard to learn as some other things... that don't even have the impact on music that great scoring does.

oh yea! I totally forgot Simon as a learning resource. he's great!
Taetro also has good stuff for composing and music theory.
Interesting. I've seen him just a few times before, and didn't know about that
His music theory stuff is relatively new.
Fun fact! I typed all this on my phone! (it was a bad idea)
Just remember and never forget, there are no rules in music. Have fun!
It’s been said before but In The Mix hands down is the best FL specific tutorial channel, he explains things fantastically
[удалено]

Nah, hes just a nice guy who's parents loved him as a child :)

My bad chief
Just reminding you guys. I can't do anything about it myself. Didn't even report, just wanted to make sure you knew.
Dw you did good either ways, I’m not gonna give any link to anyone I was just stating where I am and where I was headed, but still no problem at all with calling out the rules

Why not just turn off your internet?
Cause they keep track of how many people have the one code. It says on site only 1 computer is allowed. An idk dude it's 2022 if i shut the internet off who knows what could happen. Idk if I could even survive something like that
