HOW TO GET AUDIO INTO THERE
GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH PLUGIN LAYOUTS
DIVING INTO THE TOOLS AND HOW TO USE THEM
---------------------------------------
-------HOW TO GET AUDIO INTO THERE-------
select empty mixer track
RHS > slot 1 > select edison
resize to fit
CONTROLS:
top:
play pause record, record modes
right below that:
tools and menus
main area: waveform display
(may say "click to load a sample")
HOW TO GET AUDIO INTO THERE
1)
drag and drop any sample from the LHS
to play, hit play button in edison
to delete, hit del key
-------HOW TO GET AUDIO INTO THERE: TO RECORD-------
fl studio > options > audio settings
device: ASIO4ALL v2
sample rate: 48000
*note, you cant play youtube videos when you switch
gotta switch it back to realtek
2)
recording separately:
record in external source (mic, guitar, etc)
mixer > top > arrow symbol (none) > choose input

HOW TO GET SOUND INTO PROJECT:
Select what you want(using Ctrl)
edison > tools bar > 2nd from the right(cursor with paper icon)
OR

MORE ADVANCED WAY OF RECORDING:
edison > change mode beside record button to "On Play"
can select just a part of the selected part on the timeline
can press record in edison, but it wont record until you press play in FL studio main
*thats why need to select area to play

normalize: Ctrl + N or horz lines on waveform button
trim/gate noise: vert lines on waveform
LMB will trim
RMB will gate
get noise threshold(profile): select noise > Alt + N
a bar will appear beside the edison logo, adjust it to cover the nosie
fade and declick:
LMB fade
RMB declick
declick is steeper to 0, fade is more gradual, might not even end on 0
denoise: toothbrush
MORE ARTISTIC EFFECTS:
reversing:
edison > wrench > time > reverse (or alt + left)
*select everything first, or select note per note
reverb: look like clit
select area you want
select impulse(main area) > click default > go to library(in explorer)
turn wet on if needed

put in in mixer, add more reverb
EQ: for underwater effects
looks like vert bar graph button
select what you want
adjust frequencies wanted, make a nice curve
only area selected was affected
panning:
bottom of edison > first button is waveform, hit the 2nd from the right(looks lie bowtie)
can draw curve
OR

volume: third button from right, looks like triangle.
stereo to mono: other bow tie
blur tool:
rich atmosphere, dreamy, like in cave or something
really good to have UNDERNEATH the whole song

how to rename?
how to mix and render?
how to put against click track?
Clean way:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io39qVJpNDM
Steps:
Now it's clean!
1) (kebab menu button) > more tools > task manager
extension are taking up a lot
go to manage extensions & disable them
2) GPU extension
go to: chrome://gpu

3) Clean-up
Close all chrome events in Task Manager
Start/Windows + R > %appdata% > local > google chrome > user data > default
delete or rename 'default
4) Memory saving
can use external app but better not to
chrome > settings > performance > memory saver
5) Chrome in bg even after closing
Settings > Advanced > System > Continue running bg apps > TURN THAT SHIT OFF

-tremolator - give chords
-vhs effect
-fruity eq
-widen stereo
-export as mp3
preset instument:
-kontakt preset ethereal earth
TINGS
-sounds like marimba with some echo, low cut EQ, reverb and high freq pass

-citrus preset
-sounds like moog but high cut, delay, reverb
-added supervhs, reverb, eq only pass low mid to b4 treble
-now sounds like in football game
BASS
-bass preset, very buzzy
-treat like lead, funky lotsa notes
-devil loc FX - beef up bass

-kick, 1, and 3,
INTRO
-add ppl talking, drum kit scratch, VCR tape in sfx, then chords
LYRICS
not complex
r/s emotions, tt kinda stuff
make thin and low fi by low cut EQ
echos can be tuned down up or down an octave

HOW TO MAKE BEAT
OmitoBeats 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM94SzLKc1E
two chords
no need anything fancy
how:
piano:
-vintage keys
-warm, elect piano, sounds like honne
-2 chords
simple bass:
-8 beats following bassline of chords
drumss:
battery 4 - kick(1, 3) and snare(2, 4)
hihat - every beat, but every other is a lil quiter
VST:
arcade - pad, ambient fill in space
sound more dreamy
just one note
real sounding instrument:
guitar:
palm muted
add reverb
another guitar:
omnisphere
jazz guitar for melody
cute synth:
bell
use from kotakt
how to make it less repetitive:
take away and then add certain elements

HOW TO INDIE ROCK:
guitar:
actual guitar
make chords 7th
record chord progression twice
1 in left channel, 1 in right(Ctrl L, use mixer) (50, 60, 70 %)
route both to new this track only
drums:
need real
use muted
put t shirt on snare, sleeping bag on kick, cloth on hihat
fin way to emulate this in fl studio
rogram:
one shots?
kick snare hihat
snare(less) and hihat(mroe) main, kick when u feel like it
adj alt velocity of hihat
kick and snar - alt r - will randomize velocity
route drums to 1 this track only
bass:
use real
or make elec guitar into bass
root notes of chords
add. percussions
add shaker, tambourine
high end, fill out sound
lead guitar:
acustic guitar:
add in chorus
light and depth
same chords
keys:
pads or organs
beef up track
plugin
pluginXpand!2 > organ
use same chords
add another note at the end of the prog
mixing:
volume and levelling
main elec guitar - CLA guitars stereo, preset elect clear tone, knob - clean, mess with settings
drums - reverb comp and eq on drums, bring high end AND bass
bass guitar - plugin, TRS black 76, default good alrd
shaker - cut out high end with EQ, can pan to 1 side(R)
acoust - CLA unplugged or default reverb, eq
organ - a lot of reverb, realistic, large hall
how to lay out the beat:
main guitar first, bring in lead and shaker
DONT just put in drums by themselves, add bass at same time, remove shaker
DONT let it get repetitive and over complicate
can add crashes for transitions
JUST CLICK THIS
IDFK WHY FL STUDIO DOESNT HAVE SEPARATE OPTIONS FOR INPUT AND OUTPUT BUT THATS LIFE
HOW TO CLEAN MIX
why muddy? OVERLAPPING
from kick and 808? NO, its fine on their own
samples - good to be good quality
coming from 1 main area - 808 and melody OVERLAP
abt 200hz
how to add to a mixer track?
select multiple(the green rect beside name)
Ctrl L
how to make not muddy?
make sure they dont overlap - UNLESS you're layering
layering = playing the exact same notes
how to decide what to put where?
sometimes two instruments, one is brighter, higher freq
its fine if theyre the EXACT same chords
its NOT fine if it's like a bass - but not the BIGGEST culprit
WHO ARE THE MAIN CULPRITS aka the ones that need EQ-ing?
counter melodies, leads, arps
how to fix if theyre clashing? easy way:
pitch them 1 octave higher
now track seems like it has more SPACE
how to reduce mudding and add SPACE:
reduce the volume aka LEVELLING
actual trick to EQ:
cut out low freq in melody
bring 1 circle down, adjust the shape at the top to look like a shelf
for instruments which dont have tt much low freq, cut even MORE out
eq all melody(no percussion):
select all tracks in mixer
ctrl and drag
find empty > rmb > route to this track only
move it nearer to the rest
add EQ
drag btm knob for all cept ends all the way to 0
at the top, click on dot, drag it all the way down
now when you drag them up, theyre skinny
now we EQ OUT THE RESONATING FREQUENCIES
HOW? drag one of them up, it will sound very ringing when you hear it, very tin-ny
instead of up, drag it down slightly(-1.5 to 7dB)(top left of screen should show you)
most efficient - left to right, one after another
now do the ends
if youve used up all, load up EQ on another slot the right
can make preset with all knobs down
last resort: side chain kick and melody
what dat mean: melody vol go down when the kick hits
how:
select kick, go to whole melody, click the btm arrow so it turns into a knob (so its linked), turn dial to make level 0
click whole melody(dial should disappear)
add a limiter
go to compressor tab
rmb > kick
knee and ratio all the way up
sustain and release quite low(but not 0)
threshold - lvl at which kick will bring vols down
up to you
about half, at top of melody waveline
when you turn the dial, you can see a blue line hit the waveline
because of cyberghost vpn.
usually if a browser just cant connect, its the VPN.
