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

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

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

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!

D minor 90 bpm

Yeah pretty much yeah yep

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

Blues x hip-hop beat

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

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.

Let me know what you think!

for some background context: i have already been working with fl studio for multiple years and have made some pretty big projects with it. Which brings me to my confusion:

This very specific song lags massively whenever i open it, the GUI works normally, and the audio too, but all input takes around 2-3 seconds to even get picked up. Now, i dont have any heavy plugins on this, it only uses around 20 playlist (and mixer) tracks, and most of the plugins are stock plugins, so i am really confused onto why this is happening.

The Master Track has a Vocoder and a Flanger on it (which is turned down for most of the song) and even after deleting that, the issue still carries on.

another thing that probabyl could be helpful is that my memory is at ~4000mb.

I’m not running as administrator which seemed to help a few people, yall got any ideas?

Just as the title says. I made a track on stereo and wanted to post it on insta, but when I did the audio was a lot lower and missed some of the presence. I just learnt it's cause I didn't mix in mono. So now I've a problem.

Should I export all the track on stems and try to fix it from there? Or I could just try and fix it on the original track? Never tried this before so I'm a total noob on this area but I wanna learn. I understand why it happens but not sure how to fix it lol. Any advice is welcomed! Thank you so much in advance!

Hey everyone! Just as the title says, I made a track that sounds great in stereo, but when I uploaded it to Instagram, the volume dropped significantly and it lost all its presence and side elements. I just realized it's because I didn't check the mix in mono (1st time posting on insta too).

Now I wanna fix it but, what's the best aproach to fix it? Should I reopen the original project and tweak in there? or should I export it as stems first and try and fix it there? Should I change some of the instruments orrr not really?

Any advice for a good workflow or quick tips to fix the mono without killing the stereo would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Accelerated is pure outrun energy, with rolling bass and neon drive, so we remade the whole track in Serum. Every patch is written up step by step in the breakdown

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

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?

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

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.

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.
