Join us for part 3 then, and in the meantime check out our review of FL Studio 20 here. Next time weвЂ™ll finish our simple tune and start going in depth with more FL Studio 20 features. As we show, moving the bass onto the same track as the beats makes no difference as each Pattern will play the same thing no matter where you put it on the Playlist. As a traditional DAW user, you might want to keep the beats on one вЂtrackвЂ™ and the bass on another, but you donвЂ™t have to. His music production courses are based on FL Studio, and can range. Now we have a bass and two beat parts we can start arranging and here itвЂ™s a case of dragging each Pattern onto the Playlist area. His students tell him that his approach to explaining topics is extremely easy to understand. Again, you could simply use the step sequencer to fill notes in but a more flexible approach brings in the Piano Roll editor that allows you to record in notes either by drawing or playing them in.

ItвЂ™s also very fast and easy to change the core sounds at your disposal, so weвЂ™ll quickly run through how to either replace a sound or edit the existing one with the many effects on offer in FL Studio 20. Many traditional DAW owners will be acutely aware that looping beats is the scourge of modern music production, but this pattern-based approach allows you to quickly and easily introduce some much-needed variation. It allows you to quickly build up a library of different patterns simply by duplicating existing ones and then editing them for some variation. The advantage of using Patterns is quickly realised when using the Clone option from FL StudioвЂ™s many features. Open up FL Studio and youвЂ™ll be faced with an empty Pattern complete with four drum sounds, so weвЂ™ll launch straight into that and create a simple 4/4 drum pattern over four bars. You create complete tunes with this Pattern approach but, within it, the Piano Roll editor offers a familiar recording and editing environment for вЂtraditionalвЂ™ DAW users. Understanding just these two elements will give you that вЂEurekaвЂ™ moment, as youвЂ™ll realise that these are the core of the program. With a little creativity you can achieve really cool results. The Fruity Slicer is a neat little plugin for slicing (beat) samples/loops into segments that are independently playable from the Piano roll or a controller. This time around weвЂ™re going to look at two of these areas вЂ“ namely the Patterns and Piano Roll editor вЂ“ in more depth. FL Studio Tutorial explaining the Fruity Slicer. In Part 1 we introduced the five main areas within FL Studio вЂ“ the Browser (for your samples, sounds, instruments, effects and so on) the Channel Rack (with Patterns for beats and notes) the Playlist (where the song arrangement comes together) the Piano Roll editor and finally the Mixer. We are assuming that you have used other DAWs before (although that is not essential) so the idea of these tutorials is to show you how FL Studio may do things differently вЂ“ but still simply вЂ“ compared to ways you might be used to in other DAWs.
