FL 7 hahah :D we've come a long way

I just turned my buddy on to this video. He is a pianist using a midi controller, and all his stuff turns sounding stiff. This video is really gonna hook him up. You rock. Thanks bro.

Hi! Thanx for your fruity insights; altering the overall tempo of the song is something I didn't think of before and I'm definitely going to try that out!

Really powerful tips!! Thanks for sharing

Thank you man! Really nice tutorial. I've using FL Studio as a hobby for a long time and all my knowledge was self-conquered. I got to a point that i couldn't go any further in putting my crazy creations to a different level. I am now running to FL to try some of the techniques you've kindly taught.

It's really cool that you put up that video. You actually introduced like 3 or 4 ways to make one's music sound more natural - well done.

Great stuff dude, had no idea about the randomisation feature and the tempo recording is a great idea. probably worth mentioning that on that high hat rhythm you generally will have the accent on the start of the bar, then a lesser accent on the 1/4 notes, then the eighth notes etc. (for a straight rhythm).

Dude, thx so much! That's just what I needed. You rock, man!!!!

that piano is distorted as fuck

As extremely simple as this is, it is super helpful. Thanks for helping.

thanks a bunch man,this saves me a lot of time!

you rock! I had this problem all the time!!!! youre the solution. thanks

Extremely helpful, especially on drums.

wonderful tutorial, really, it's perfect. thanks

wow - good work!

man i should've known this years ago. thanks for the tutuorial

gr8 tuts your the best learned tons! Keep those lessons coming..PEACE...ACE!

GREAT TUTORIAL god bless u man :)!

awesome!!!

Thank you for this video!! helped me out a lot. :P

Very usefull tutorial. Thanx!

Great tutorial.

Awsome!

7:23 that moment when he's trying to speak louder than music but the chords don't give up XD

thanX! 11 years later...still tought me new stuff n trix. ok just started using fl bbut anyways...have seen a looot a vidz...this was bang on.

Nice tutorial man tanx a lot!

Thanks for the tutorial...

That's true! They do have a rhythm. Typically, in pop/rock, the snare drum is "pushed" or "pulled" to make the song -feel- faster or slower. To do this, you'd be better off "shifting" the snare hits accordingly using the step sequencer. The swing function affects odd vs. even steps, so it's important to be sure your bass and snare are not 4 steps apart.

good stuff man.

Great tutorial, but the piano seemed a little too loud.. good though!

Thank You !!! :)

No, I take issue with that! The swing function only affects patterns in the step sequencer (not the piano roll), and all it does is change your rhythm, globally. A repetitive pattern with full "swing" will still sound "robotic". Mapping swing to LFO might help though.

Good stuff bro

thanx for this !!! that tempo automation is the sh@#

oh man, i wanted to listen to the part where the drums come in! thx for the tutorial and the song u made sounds to good. do u actually have it as a song somewhere?

WOW!!! I've been using FL studio for 7 yrs and i'm pretty good.. But i've NEVER knew about this!! I'm about to be very dangerous!!!

nice one!

thanks really me alot

Crazy how old this video is, COD 4 had just come out I was almost 7 when this tutorial was made lmao.

Sorry about the volume in the last half - be warned, it's too loud!

Thanks

this shit is amazing

nice songs... i have been wondering that tempo thing.... thx.. good tutorial...

@AcePincter what key stoke did you use to pull out that tempo map after you automated the song?

thanks

i wont need a midi controller for some stuff thanks to this

whoa i didn't know any of that.. you should do a little lecture on theory as applied to pop music.. everything i've read always talks about correct rhythm and scales but what i've always been more interested in is the tricks of the trade that producers use. like how the vast majority of "hit" guitar songs use the 4(or3?) the 5 & 7 i believe it was? seems like they're just as important as a scale if you're just out to make a catchy tune instead of shred or compose

great tutorial! -- horrible levels on the video :/

you are right bro but strumming anf tempo automations take more cpu

How do you get the drum names in the piano roll? I've been trying to figure that out for ages, but when I switch on drum names I only get the standard GM names. You have Snare #1,#2 etc. How do you do that?

Dude is da man :) L.Leraz

like for instance a drum roll, 126 bpm at least for a military sounding snare.

But the shifts shouldn't be all random, the shifts should have a rhythm themselves, like every snare on the 2 and 4 is shifted a tiny bit forward but the bass drum on the 1 and 3 is shifted a tiny bit backward. I learned from my drum teacher that at more advanced levels of drumming, these shifts should be regular but precisely controlled, and this is what differentiates drummers with great feel (like, funky!) and drummers with robotic precision (techno, maybe).

You da real mvp.

Also, I don't think "Swing" affects velocity levels. You'd be better off using small levels of random "shift" and velocity offsets in the step sequencer to achieve a more off-tempo feel.

In my case, those actually say "Slice #1, Slice #2", as I'm in the FL Slicer. Your drum names should show if you use the FPC though.

I'm pretty sure that's on purpose. Kind of like the phrase, "Each hit and dye."

What about the "swing" setting in FLStudio? It's pretty much the "human setting" :)

kind of. It's called "the many ways to automate"

The whole track. There's only one tempo, and it's global!

Great video, but use Fruity Limiter in your project.

Cool, although THE humanised version doesnt always sounds Better 2 me

did u used fast dist for piano?

What instrument are you using..piano?

You're clipping, my guy

How about humanizing electric guitar solos, because that is like, impossible :S Nice tutorial by the way, never knew about the tempo change :D

yo do yu have an automation advanced tutorial???

Why don't you fix the DC offset in the sound?

u said it shouldn't b used in hip-hop..i disagree as far as drums r concerned if u lookin for dat ill vibe. i'ma try it out c if i can rock wit it. i know it'll push some hot beats ova da edge and might mess up a few but dats wut they make save different version for...good looks pincter man

Messing with the tempo gets really annoying once you have audio files in, unfortunately.

too bad... not all of us wanted to be producer using fl studio... i use fl studio for montage and maybe someday my own anime movies... :P

збс за 8 лет видео не потеряло своей актуальности)

best software my ass

all these tutorials are helping me alot, thanks for your vids. maybe u might want to check out my fl studios songs please comment

@F0nkyNinja puberty :D

A sphincter?

Find Random Conga video and look

why does everyone keep making tutorials i want to see an actual composition!

im taking care of that check out my instrumentals more and better ones to come=)

Also having those beat slightly apart one from another helps

amen break???wtf.... i probably know it as something else. but yea i make music..and the shit sound good

people were using fl studio 15 years ago...

Your joke was SO funny. See what I did there?

Alright lol

Sound is wayyyy to loud for me dude

is your name supposed to sound like "a sphincter?"

That terrible piano soundfont makes me sadface. I hope you normally use a limiter, filter, and soft clipper in your mixer...

lol lol lol ha ha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAH

Turns out sounding stiff.

Dude you should have a cooler screen name.How about GOD

man...fuck dat mpc....u just gotta have the right equipment and plug-ins and u'll b alright...n i NEVER use anything ova 96...and my shit fire...don't believe me check my vids. no samples...well at least most the time. n wtf is amen breaks?
