Visual aidsįL Studio provides loads of tools to help you visualise your signals, and you can set them up for easy access. Make more than one! For example, you could create separate prefab templates for beat production, mixing stems and songwriting sketchpads. Get the jump on new projects by creating and saving your own personal project templates. Patcherize everything! Put your frequently used effects chains (or instrument and effects chains) in Patcher presets for quick reuse in any project and use Control Surface to make custom interfaces for the frequently used controls. Choose Select Unused > Patterns, Audio or Automation. Hop into Playlist Options, then right-click Picker Panel Icons. Keep your playlist tidy by clearing out any unused junk. In FL Studio 12.5 and later, use the Tools > Macros > Unlock all Playlist tracks from content > Also resize all playlist tracks to default size command to resize all Playlist tracks to 100%. Right-click the clips in the Picker, select Split by channel, then drag the group to the Playlist. Use the Picker Panel to easily send all of the instruments in a pattern to the Playlist in a single motion. Access them by clicking the downward arrow in the title bar in the upper-left of the Mixer. When you’ve created a Piano Roll sequence you like and you want to convert it to a pattern, all you need do is select Tools > Dump score to selected pattern.ĭon’t overlook the Mixer’s various view options - some are quite useful! For example, the Extra Large Mixer view can show you all the plugins on all mixer tracks at once with direct access to their context menus. If you need to edit an instrument’s sound while working in the piano roll, simply right-click the plugin name in the title bar to open its interface. It’s almost spooky how this can bring a dead performance back to life! 11. In the Piano roll, go to Menu > Helpers > Editable Ghosts to enable moving and editing of ghost notes. Ghost notes can be useful for humanising performances, and they’re especially effective in snare drum patterns. Zoom in to see a visual representation of the fade. Choose Declicking: Transient, Generic, Smooth or Crossfade for increasing lengths of fade. Double-click a clip to bring up its channel settings. When chopping audio clips in the playlist, you might find that you need to apply short volume fades between them. Much nicer than staring at a long list of plugin names! 9. Right-click an empty mixer slot to instantly open the Plug-in Picker in all its graphical glory. Easy on the eyeĪ picture is worth a thousand words. This can also be useful for isolating the send channel. Audio sent via Fruity Send will continue to be routed to the target track even if you mute the source track (unlike routing in the mixer).

Fruity Send enables you to route signals from anywhere in the FX chain.
