Midi controllers are an essential tool when producing music in Fruity Loops Studio.

By Cilanntrus Fruity Loops is an amazing program. I have never been a fan of Trackers (maybe I am just a little anti-DOS environment) which has always left me feeling like I was missing out on something. But alas! Now there is Fruity Loops and I don’t care about trackers anymore. The program has been actually been around for a few years now, but it has really started taking off with its internal support for the TS404 and now, with version 2, support for real-time event recording. But we won’t get too complicated with this introductory tutorial and we need to save something for the next installment. Right? If this is your first time starting Fruity Loops you will need to configure your soundcard and MIDI in/outs. You can do this in the options menu under “WAVE Settings” and “MIDI Settings”. Once that is in order, it is time to play. Here is a Screen Shot: fruityloops A.Play/Stop B.Pan/Volume C.Channel Settings D.Tempo E.Song Properties F.Patterns 1-9 That should be pretty self explanato...

Fruity Loops REsource is back in effect. I plan on making a bunch more Fl Studio tutorials to post on here in the near future, so stay tuned and if you have any topics you’d like to see tips, tricks, or whatever for send an email to audio.resource@gmail.com and I’ll see what I can do. So, I got Fruity Loops 7–if you haven’t got it yet go and order it now, well worth the upgrade– because for one with FL Studio 7 came an excellent little thing called Edison. Edison is a fully integrated easy to use audio editing and recording tool. And in this tutorial I’m going to show you how to record some audio into Edison and how to quickly chop it up into some nice samples. Now I used to record into Audacity, send it over to Fruity Slicer, and set sample points in that, but now you can do it quick and painlessly all inside Fruity Loops with Edison. Hook up a mic to your computer, find something to sample (hit a drum, a bottle, or just clap, whatever you want) and start Fruity Loops. Grab yourself a...

Learning the basics of the Fruity Loops FPC generator will be the focus of this FL Studio tutorial. I’ll show you how I use the FPC and set it up to create beats using input from your computer keyboard. Start up Fruity Loops and load the FPC into a channel of the step sequencer. To do this press F6 to bring up the step sequencer, right click on a channel and select Insert then FPC. Now it will load up and you might notice that the FPC is based off the old MPC hardware sampler, drum machine. Basically what you have is 16 pads on the right that can be loaded with a sample and triggered by clicking on each pad or routing it to a MIDI controller of some kind. And on the left there are 16 corresponding boxes of the pad note and cut group matrix. These set what MIDI note will play the sample you have in the same pad on the right side. For instance maybe you have Pad 1 in the lower right hand corner and the pad note/octave may be at C5 here C is the note and 5 represents the octave. At the to...

Not so mention, with the right soundfonts and samples, you can write a professional sounding backing tracks for your song. (Will probably include something in a later lesson.) This program isnt the best sequencer out there, but it is easier than most, and it can produce results just about as amazing as Reason or Cubase. I used FL Studio 6 XXL. Obtain it somehow. Using Fruity Loops # The Step SequencerIn order to understand this tutorial, you will need to know the basics of operating FL.

The different drum parts, the different “riffs“, and so on. Then you assemble this riffs in the playlist, which I will explain next. I will explain the parts.01. This a...

by image-line This section covers the FL Studio desktop and basic workflow. In short, FL Studio allows you to load instruments and samples, play these live or manually enter the note data, record external sounds (from a microphone for example) and play the while mix back through the 64 channel mixer (adding effects). The final result is saved to a wave, MP3 or MIDI file. Main Screen The FL Studio desktop is based on a number of windows, most of these are movable (with overlap), resizable, zoomable and switchable so if a window isn’t visible retrieve it using the Shortcut toolbar (or the function keys as noted in brackets below).
