FL Studio Tutorials For Beginners

By Greg Pearson

I like FL Studio because I understand the step sequencer very clearly. Basically it's a series of steps that move in time from left to right. You simply click on a 'step' to turn it on or off. After putting sounds into the channel it's that easy. You can put several sounds together liek a kick drum, snare and hi hat to make a kit.

Fl Studio has many differences in the user interface compared to most other Windows based programs and it can cause some confusion. The key is to find one of the many resources to help you learn the differences and in no time this will no longer be a factor.

FL Studio help can be found many places across the internet. Doing searches on Google or Youtube for "Warbeats FL Studio" will bring you quite a number of options to choose from in both text and video FL Studio Tutorials.

There is no shortage of features in FL Studio compared to any other DAW on the market. AS a matter of fact it can do a lot of things other DAWs cannot like extensive automation with a formula controller. I know this sounds difficult, but it's not when you can search the internet sites like google or video sites and find FL Studio tutorials on these things.

The FL Studio help file is always a go to resource. Never think that anything is too hard until you bring up the FL Studio Help and read about the topics you are interested in. And like anything the internet if full of other resources to get you started on various related topics such as the Warbeats tutorial on how tomake a bassline. This tutorial is demonstrated in FL studio but applies to any music maker program.

One of the first things you might need help with in FL Studio is understanding how the scroll bars work. Unlike standard scrollbars, that page forward and back, you will instantly jump to the location you click within the scroll bar. This takes some getting used to but is a minor issue.

One of the coolest featurs in Edison is the ability to tell you what notes are playing in a recorded piece of music. This works best with a single sound source like a voice. What this means is that if you whistle or hum a part you want to add into FL Studio, it can tell you what notes they are and you can then program it to play in your instrument of choice such as a piano

I would reccomend against FL Studio Tutorial sites that make you pay. Often times these sites do nothing more than read the help file back to you. Save your money for some new sounds or to donate to one of the many great free FL Studio Tutorial sites.
