The channel Rack is where you select the instruments you want to use, for example, an 808, a synth, Piano Plugin, etc., and you use these instruments to create patterns (either in the channel rack itself or using the piano roll). Let’s quickly go over both of them now! The Channel Rack (Where you add instruments) The new patterns you create will be stored to the left of the playlist and you can simply drag them to where you want them to be, or select them and then click anywhere in the playlist to paste them there. The Arrangement basically consists of the patterns you create and how you arrange them along the playlist (see previous image), and the most important parts of this whole process happen in the Channel Rack and in the Piano Roll. Let’s take a look at how creating a song or arrangement in FL Studio goes: Creating an Arrangement On the other hand, if you’re looking for a DAW to record, mix, and master a Rock band, for example, even though you can do it, FL Studio makes that whole process slightly more complicated than other DAWs. It is worth noting that FL Studio differs from most other DAWs because it’s mainly designed for producing electronic music, Hip Hop, beats in general, etc., where synths, drum machines, any other type of virtual instrument, audio samples, etc., are used, and is not really designed for multitrack recording and mixing live-recorded instruments, and this means that if you want to create beats, for example, using only virtual instruments, FL Studio is not only a very powerful tool to do so but also makes the whole process extremely easy. This means that once you understand how to create those different patterns, which can be confusing at first (I’ll get into more detail about how the pattern creation works in a second), you can create a song in no time by simply dragging and dropping those patterns wherever you like. So, without any further ado, let’s get started! FL Studio, is it easy to Learn?įL Studio offers one of the most straightforward workflows for music production since it works off of patterns that can be dragged and dropped anywhere in the playlist to create the different arrangements and structures of the song.
So, in this article, I’m going to do my best to tell you about my experience using FL Studio, its pros, and cons, how the workflow is, and if it’s easy to learn overall as well as being actually capable of producing professional-sounding music. I’ve used multiple DAWs over the years (Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, Studio One, Cakewalk, and also FL Studio) and if there’s one thing that you should consider when choosing one or the other, aside from how good it actually is, is how hard it is to learn, if it’s intuitive or not, etc.
