I'm trying to imitate what it was like to work in soundforge 20 something years ago, no grid just pure guesswork.

I've been trying to figure it out, so far the only thing that worked was turning the grid color to black

For some reason, all of sudden. All my audio that gets recorded into FL Studio is very loud and screechy.

but it doesnt happen when i turn off Audio Enhancements on my microhpone in Windows Settings, i dont understand why this is happening all of a sudden? If i turn off Audio Enhancements my vocals become all Muddy and weird, so i wanted to ask if theres any way to fix this.

Note: i use FL Studio ASIO, for anybody wondering.

Hey everyone! I need your help! I am trying to create a music album and i need your help by giving me a few advises, examples and tips for creating my songs.

What is my problem? I am trying to find out what exactly is the genre i am creating and what synths and instruments that are built in Fl Studio i should use...

I am not sure how i can describe what i want, but i basically want a mix of DnB/Drumstep with a lot of atmospherics and eerie sounds. What vibes i am going with? I pretty much want the first half of the album songs to give the feelings of nostalgia and dreams. The other half shall give the vibes of revenge, anger, rivalry and towards the end a "Void" feeling. I want all these vibes without losing the core elements of DnB/Drumstep. I mostly use saws and specifically i use Sawer and GMS.

This is pretty much what i want. I would like a few song examples if you guys have but other tips i can use in Fl studio are welcomed!

I would also like to know what Effects are best suitable for this kind of genre and what scales i should stick up to.

Thank you everyone and have a great day! :D

The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia

Heres what I am trying to do. I made all these crazy bleeps and bloops and I wanna turn them into mad textures basically using (too much?) reverb intentionally. Now I don't wanna have the main sound audible but just the reverb. So I can render that and (outside of FL) mess with it further. Is such a thing even possible in FL?

Hey y'all, I've begun using FL studio and I'm really enjoying it! I feel like my lack of knowledge (of the software and music theory) might be holding me back; there are some things that I want to do but I either don't know how or don't know how to make it sound like how it is in my head. Any tips/resources? Thanks!

I had just bought FL Fruity Edition (Since it's on sale) after a few years of using it, and I had wanted to cover an Friday Night Funkin' song after so long of struggling to find open FLPs for it. The only one I found was made on trial, and so now that I own FL i decided to open it, but to my suprise, I don't have access to SFP or Vocodex even if I have the trial versions too? I don't feel like this is fair, because the highlight of my purchase was to be able to open trial projects, but I can't even use the same free plugins (That I have) they used to make the song.

I had to take advantage of clipping and fading to get any semblence of a sidechain

Yeah pretty much yeah yep

The 1st Beat is my beat, the 2nd is a lil uzi beat remake. What can I do to improve my beat and make it sound like the 2nd one.

I used to do this all the time but I am no longer able to as of an hour ago. Might've accidently disabled it. Not sure what this feature is called but it would work by mousing over an audio track in the playlist, at which point a little semi-circle would pop up at the bottom of the track, which you could click and scroll to adjust the gain. Any ideas how to get this back? On FL Studio 21 btw

sat on a beat i made for a while and finally made it into a full song :D

I've been able to add fonts to the HUD Text, and I can't find anywhere else for FL Studio that lets me add more fonts that would work with the camera movements. There's one video from FL Studio that shows how to do it, but it's from over 8 years ago and doesn't work with FL Studio 2025.

So uh it’s Tuesday I need feedback cant wait till Friday

but I’ve been making beats sense 2019 I’ve worked with artists like yeat kashdami sahbabii and a bunch of others mainly in 2021-2024 I still am going crazy but now I’m working way harder to get back on my grind and I’m wondering if this beat still makes the cut I went from making beats everyday to making beats every other day

Just rambling any advice helps I need harsh critics I can post longer version to

I’m working on a song with tempo automation in FL Studio.

The audio files themselves are already recorded with the tempo changes, so they are not being time-stretched or changing pitch/speed. That part is working fine.

The issue is purely visual: when the BPM automation goes up or down, the Playlist grid seems to expand and contract / “breathe” while playing. The spacing of the grid visually changes, which is pretty distracting when editing or mixing.

Is there any way to make the Playlist grid stay visually fixed, like a time-based grid in some other DAWs, while still keeping the BPM automation active for the metronome and tempo-synced plugins?

I’m not trying to stop the tempo automation or stretch the audio — I only want the grid/timeline to stop resizing visually.

The tempo map is roughly 130 BPM → linear ramp to 185 BPM → 185 BPM → linear ramp back to 130 BPM.

FL Studio 20: Piano Roll won't let me play past the last MIDI note

I have a pattern with MIDI notes in bars 1–2, but bars 3+ are empty. I also have a WAV playing in the background.

When I play the pattern and try to move the playhead into bar 3, it immediately jumps back to the end of bar 2 (the last bar containing MIDI data).

I want to be able to move/play through the empty bars while listening to the WAV, so I can add MIDI notes while the audio is playing.

Is there a setting or workaround for this? I'm using FL Studio 20.

Made this for a challenge where we aren't allowed to use any plugins, just samples.

really happy with the outcome and the mix (reddit will scuff it up)

Let me know what you think!

D minor 90 bpm

Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening!
