Welcome to FL Studio Basics!

Welcome to the course! Here we will cover all the details about the course and what you'll need to know to get the most out of your experience.

Lesson 1: Sequencing in FL Studio

In lesson 1, we will start with an overview of the FL Studio interface, identifying the main windows and how to use them. We will then begin to use the four main windows in FL Studio to better understand their functions in music production. Finally, we will begin to create a new musical piece from scratch.

Lesson 2: Working with MIDI

In this second lesson, we will cover using MIDI in FL Studio. We will start by setting up a MIDI controller and learning how to record MIDI into FL Studio. We will then go over MIDI mapping and automation. Finally, we will learn about effects and using creative effects processing to make original sounds for our music.

Lesson 3: Working with Audio

In lesson 3, we will switch to working and recording with audio. We will start by setting up an audio interface in FL Studio before recording audio into the Playlist. We will then practice looping audio and comping as well as sampling and slicing the audio we record. Finally, we will learn how to create our own custom sounds using audio.

Lesson 4: Mixing and Mastering

In our final lesson, we will look at the mixing and mastering possibilities available in FL Studio. As I've mentioned, FL Studio has been used by many professional music producers, and you will see why when we begin to practice mixing and mastering in this lesson. We will start by covering some of the basics in mixing before moving on to mastering fundamentals. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to mix and then master one of your original creations.
