that moment when you find out you've been exporting your files without 512-point-sync quality the whole time...

7:05 For the people having the issue of after EXPORT PROBLEM. I LOVE YOU, BRO LITERALLY

You're a life-saver dude! I didn't realize what was wrong with my mixes and ended up messing it up. Thanks a million! SUBSCRIBED! : )

I wanted to thank you for all the value you provide with your in-depth videos. This is really taking quality of our music to the next level.

Have to say thanks a lot! I was doing this exact thing, after exporting I would listen in WMP through headphones or laptop speakers just as quick reference, and it didn't sound anything like the way I mixed it in FL! There were some enhancements enabled in media player as well. I turned them off, messed with the export quality, and now monitoring through my Focusrite 2i4 and it sounds EXACTLY like how it does in FL now. Can't say thanks enough!

I really appreciate your content...its straight to the point and honest without all the yammering. Some people just like to hear themselves talk...thank you so much💯👏

I was going to search for a solution for this problem but I got the notification just in time thanks guys❤❤❤

this really helped, i always wondered why my beats dont sound like how it is when listening in fl studio. Now everything is on point

6:34 - Thank you! This is such a big help! I've put so much work into making the songs sound right, only for it to sound absolutely ridiculous through headphones in Groove Music/WMP on the computer. I swear I tried exporting it like 20 times haha, all in different file formats and sample rates - all sounding horrible. Upon seeing this video I tried emailing it to myself and listening on my phone and it sounds like it does in the DAW! It's great to know that all of my hard work wasn't for nothing :)

Dude, thank you for all these awesome tutorials! Can't stress how helpful they are.

Well done. Great information for those who weren't making music or using a computer for many years. I remember always having to upgrade the internal sound card to soundlab before USB was a common connector for sound cards long ago

Thanks for this tutorial, I was giving up because of the end results. I have regained my motivation to practise and work on my skills. Much appreciated.👌

Your tutorials are really amazing. So helpful and well explained. Thank you!

Cit: "this is gonna be a short video" and then 10mins 😂

Mate, you can't even begin to realise how much you have done me a solid one.. You are a legend mate

I was having the issue with the media player settings augmenting my sound. This relieved a lot of stress. Thanks!

Like your info, clear, concise, to the point. Keep it up, record good songs, etc! 🎼

You are awesome.

Best explanation video I've seen in a while. Thanks bro! 💪🏽

thank you my dawg your videos are sooo instructive and easy to understand as an average experienced producer, you answer almost all questions that may come up thru the process which is important

For anyone asking: the MIDI controller Michael has is Arturia MiniLab MkII.

HEY MAN ! i watched many videos from your channel what i love in what u doing its ur way of thinking and solving problems i past maybe 10 years using fl studio i know u love fl but when it comes to sound ...i dont know why maybe bcz they use resampling all our samples and vsti sounds and thats what change the quality i left fl studio for this reason anyway i love what u doing and i feel glad to learn from u whathever u still young maybe lol but u r going profesional thats it ! id like to check it out ur music tracks any suggjestions ??! Thank you !

You literally saved my life here, after export my stuff sounded like garbage in groove, but when i dropped it back into FL Studio, it sounded perfect. I have been stressing so dang hard over this. Thank you for this video and the life saving info.

thank you so much for making these videos. takes some time to understand everything but im getting the hang of it. you make things very easy to understand.

Bro u seriously have my respect THANK U SOO MUCH it was the audio driver problem

yow man thanks, this video helped me a lot.

Dude, the video quality is so crisp and the advice is on point. Thanks.

i just wanted to thank you , with your help im getting back into making and producing my own tracks again thanks bro! :)

Just a tip: Mix Your Tracks using the (Primary sound driver) instead of using (Asio) the levels usually are off due to the sound driver not being the main source of sound

quick tip: export file and import again in fl studio, it should sound the same then, yo no worries

You’re amazing for providing us with these free videos 🥺🙏🏾

You’re the man. Thank you for all your videos, really 🙏🏼 I appreciate all your helpful information

His mic is so damn good i cam hear him sliding the mouse

The mixer's Alt-R feature renders the audio and slaps it into the playlist. If you want to see the level of a submix it's ideal. The Master channel file export can sometimes include duplicate instances. For example EZDrummer by default plays to the Master channel. Clips assembled in song creator can be converted to MIDI inside the playlist, this is a duplicate and will cancel frequencies/cause phase issues. My recordings weren't going to submixes, and went straight to the master. Everything was too loud, so I reduced the Master fader. This does not solve the overload problem. It will bring the level below zero, but there will still be hot channels piling up and forcing compression (sounds like shit). Always sum to a submix before going to master. Drum have a submix. Guitars have a submix. Bass has a submix. These are submixed again, then go as a duplicate to the master. This provides every opportunity to correct the levels to create a proper sum.

This showed up just when I needed it... THANK YOU SIR

Sublime ! the patience with which you explain ! besides clarifying many things .... many hours suffering looking for answers in the forums ! it also happened to me haha , you need more people who go to the point !, and also without using too many words , or deviate from the topic , many times we look for solutions and end up more confused , respect and support from Argentina ! new subscriber ! 🤟👍 🔥🔥🔥

808s and other basslines are typically set to a max polyphony of 1, which makes it monophonic (if you didn't click the 'cut itself' option). In that case, do NOT highlight/click 'disable max polyphony' when exporting. Your bass will be polyphonic and the track will sound like shit after export.

I always had a problem after I exported where the beat seemed to be staying at a constant volume- meaning my melody got really loud when the drums weren't playing, and when my drums came in it sounded like a mess. After watching this I found out my audio interface (dolby atmos) had a "volume leveller" option switched on which was causing the problem the whole dang time

Thank you so much. Was beginning to think that no one had this specific problem

Love your help! Always so clutch and clear!

Who else has been making music for 3+ years who are just now paying attention to the final stages of sound quality / sample rate / bit rate xD

Unique twist I had on that last issue: When I finally got a good, decent set of speakers to use (was relying only on headphones and the dreaded cheap "plug your audio to an instrument amp" solution), I noticed that when I listened to podcasts and whatnot, the sound was too flat and couldn't hear the highs well enough. I went into my driver's settings to boost some of the highs, and it worked, but eventually I noticed that whenever I used ASIO4ALL, everything ended up sounding darker than usual. I had totally forgotten than in FL ASIO, that boost I did was active, while in ASIO4ALL, the boost was bypassed.

Thanks, i was always on some confusion on my tracks but now I can hear it clearly what i wanted FL studio to do, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Just thinking about how many fire beats I have made were completely ruined by EXPORTING made me feel sad. However, I was lucky enough to find this video and it literally saved my life😂😂. MUCH LOVE!

Thx mate sounded like a compressor was on this whole time lol

Thank you

This my favourite channel for pro tips..Mike always do his best for us.Thanks a ton bro..You're never disappointed. .best helper..😄💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥✋✋👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Another great, easy to follow video with some great tips. Thanks

I mastered my track , in fl studio it is pretty loud but when i export volume level reduces and then i put the exported file into fl studio and i had to normalize it to make it louder...

I've literally recommend your videos to all my fl studio producer friends. I feel bad for the producers who don't know you

Hey Mike you are awesome... U are helping me to improve thnx for all advises in videos... Keep posting and your songs are also incredible... And keep posting such videos... Lots of love...

Thanks so much for the tid bit in the end about quality depending on the device's audio drivers, all my tracks stutter at exactly 2 minutes without fail when I'm playing them back in groove music, but on my phone they sound great. Liked and subbed!

All i had to do was disable mastering effects. Sounds smooth now!

Mastering tutorial?

So happy!🚀😁 I didn’t know what too choose wave or mp3

Very clearly explained! Thanks a million for your help bruh.

Whenever I try to export the audio I get an error message saying “a component named wav render form already exists” pls help

I am so frustrated with my fl studio. Anytime I feel I am figuring something out, another problem pops up! I am a new FL user. I just record and mixed a cover. Only to export and the vocal is not showing up. Only the instrumental I recorded on keep exporting. I have attempted everything else but nothing is working. I would sincerely appreciate your response on this. Thank you.

Man that was the best advise ever in the internet :) I searched for a week for an advice that something or someone will help me but YOU was THE ONE! All is technical problems yeah I had on my sound card turned on mastering options additionally :D All is good right now thanks a lot :)

Thanks for the vid man... The main thing that had me thinking "Damn, I didn't think about that!" was when you brought up the idea of instrumentals or songs sounding different in other things simply because of the factory settings of either the programs EQ or Stereo Shaper or what have you. Once again amazing video man!.... Now I'm about to go into both of my music playback programs on my computer and dead all those settings...

Hi Mike. I followed all your steps (mixing & EQ steps too) and my song is sounding good, exactly how it sounds in FL Studio using ATH M50x headphones. But when I use my iphone 6s earphones to test what it would sound like to normal listeners, it sounds very muddy and distorted. Have you experienced this problem? I also tried with a Betron in-ear earphone and it sounds muddy but not as bad as on the iphone 6s earphone. I tried this with the DT 770 headphones and returned them for this ATH M50X because it was sounding great on them, but way different on normal earphones like iphone 6s’s and Betron earphones.

What about the new feature: Stereo

Helpful as always bro , I wish more KZfaqrs were this helpful

I just found your videos yesterday and they've been really helpful man. Subbed!!

Short answer GET AN AUDIO INTERFACE..You're welcome

I have a situation where i export my mix as a .wav file (made sure all my export settings are as per the settings in your video) but when i play the .wav back in windows media player/ groove player, the synths seem to sound a lot different (much weaker and compressed almost), i also checked the players equalizer settings and they are flat, so theres nothing weird going on there. I then copied the same .wav file into song mode in FL and played it directly through the master (no effects) and it sounds exactly before i exported the track. Strange. I tried using edison to record that .wav directly into FL to give me another .wav file and WALA, when i play this new .wav file in windows media player/ groove player it sounds how i expected to sound. Seems to be a long winded way but i can’t get my exports to sound how they should simply by exporting.

I am so excited to find your videos!

Thanks so much you've been of great support ❤️ 🔥🔥 🔥

Brother please help me....Actually when i listen my master song in speakers so it's given good sound but after exporting when i listen that song on a my phone it's given rough and pressing sound...so how can i solve this problam?

Lol Nicky romero now is a youtuber.

I needed this info, Thanks Michael you the Man

This is so helpful for beginners! Thanks man!

Hey, I did all of what you recommended and literally nothing changed.

Instead of Primary Sound Driver use Asio4all, especially if your soundcard is older

Thank you bro . your tutorials really helping me out. Keep doing good work 😊😊😊

Thank you man. You definitely helping FL dudes out there❤

U may put a little music at last.

How Do you Stay Fit While Producing...?

Thanks bro it made my day... i was so worried these many days

You are gorgeous. Also. This was extremely helpful - I’ve been searching for hours for just this information (probably wasn’t using the right terms) anywho. Thanks and I subscribed !

Note : The best option is to always cut remainder and instead tell FL Studio EXACTLY where the song stops using markers. I believe it's the "Loop" marker type you're looking for in this instance. You can also add a start loop to tell FL Studio where the song begins. This way you're 100% in control of where it stops (and you can factor in reverb easily as well if you want)

1st like is mine

Thank you sooo much For your guidance It really helps me alot in my music production 👍👍👍 Keep it up

Thanks so much Michael. This was reeeeeeeeeealy helpful. 👍👍

I never check in Windows Media Player. It always make everything sound like shit. I like to use itunes.

You're so incredibly handsome.

I found out about the EQ settings iTunes had thrown on (after some stress lol), but I never thought about asio4all VS the Realtek aspect either. Very helpful video!

This video really helps! You the best Bro

moral of the story: realtek drivers are a no no

YOU ARE SO HELPFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN FINALLY I FIGURED OUT WHY MY MIX SOUNDED BAD!

Thank you so much, I disabled all the effects from the windows, it turns out headphone virtualization was on :D The quality came back tnx !

Awsome detailed explanations articulated.

Every single thing I learnt about FL studio, it's all from you. ❤️👍🏻

Thanks man you're a true artist!

I know I’m late But I’m nothing without you bro🤣🤞🏾 This helped a lot

Thank you for this video. I am reassured now !

You are an angel. Damn. You are the best person on KZfaq! I will spread your channel to each and every person I ever meet.

Thanks! I didn't think about it this way

Thankyou big brother for clearing my doubt. Coz I also faced the same problem like u have mentioned.

thanks a lot, keep putting out ur great content :]
