Although a little outdated I find this video amazing and loaded with tips and tricks for using your own samples inside FL Studio. Thanks Ace / Justin !

HOLY SHIT most of the time when i watch an FL tut. i come to the conclusion that i know everything there is to know about it... but i've just watched two of yours and it's like finding a second living room in my house i never knew was there

[7:20] "Great way to optimize CPU overhead when your maxing it out." *clears throat* FISH!!!! *back to tutorial* Very informative and interesting tutorial as always Ace. I watched some episodes specifically about Sytrus along with this and just wanted to tell you that you've helped me a ton from where I was half-an-hour ago. Thanks for the informative tutorials!

incidentally, the crowd coming in at the end of my intro was NOT an automated effect. I used a peak controller on my voice with a slow decay, and mapped the inverse log to the volume on a "cheer" track that kept looping. Great production trick.

you do my favorite FL tuts man, entertaining as well as informative. good work good work

I would have guessed Canadian. In any event your tutorials are awesome. Keep it up Mr. Sphincter!

I never read the manual. I think it helped me out in that way, because now I like to try every button and knob to see what they do, and every once in a while you stumble on something great. While we're here, the Edison has a button in the rightmost position which you can simply drag to a channel. Even easier than my method for making sample channels or filling a pre-existing slicer.

by watching a few seconds of this tut video me and my accomplice made the sickest track i ever heard GOOOD LOOOKZZZ!!!!

This video is really beneficial... If you find beat generals in here they usually have a large amount of step by step tips on this though!

good tutorial man , same reason i always use FL is because its so quick & efficient to use in nearly every aspect. In Edison u can also set markers(slices) for your samples & drag them into FL Slicer & the markers u made should appear in the Fl slicer, also u can drag samples out of edison if u click & drag the very end button on the right of edison. :P

Ace, thanks. Just started my sampling and this helps out a lot.

Mic's are Mono, bro! To make it into a stereo track, you'll find a knob on the mixer insert just above the "Panning" on the right side, called "Stereo Separation". Turn it to 100% Merged, and you will now have a L/R track.

If you have an outside app that you really enjoy working with, you can use that - but I like being able to audition samples through effects, in real time. Other people have done vids that show HOW to record voice/line in. Tips: Always do several recordings. Use reverb if your room doesn't have any. EQ your voice so it mixes without dominating. Organize your WAV folders.

Thanks for the tutorial dude and I just lol'ed when I heard your KZfaq handle pronounced aloud, peace

I'm getting more experimental in the Drum&Bass genre, now that I can say I've actually heard some good D&B. They love it out here and it's getting into my blood as well. Mostly, it's given me the room to breathe. I don't feel threatened or crowded out here, either by politics or people. That's the real difference. It allows me to... forget. My later songs seem to be wistful, perhaps, because of it.

woah! i cant believe i never seen this tut! u are amazin

Your videos are well appreciated from even the far opposite side of the globe*greetingsfromscotland*, very ingenious and enlightening!

I actually really liked your lil song. Cool vibe! :)

lol @ the granulizer part :D "maybe you can get something good out of it" *ugly noise* "maybe not..." haha nice. good vid!

yeah, I make some fun mistakes every once in a while (at least once a tutorial) That fish has been my loyal wallpaper for 2 years now :)

Very helpful, thanks!

use the "EDISON" plugin. It goes onto a mixer insert. It's brilliant. All you need is a mic and to route the mic to that insert. You will probably see a box that says "not connected" at the top of the mixer. Change that.

:D awesome to see another kiwi doing some cool shit. subbed,

I've been hanging around in NZ for a year and a half now. I'm from Detroit.

that was actually incredibly useful help ayss sphincter

Glad I could help in some obtuse way!

wow soo cool

good job!

Great! When you'll search for beatgenerals in youtube they've got Fl Studio lessons demonstrating how you can make beats, mix beats, master beats, etc for all people requiring some additional help or simply desiring to progress!

Odd. In your FL Mixer can you change the MASTER Output to different settings? On mine I only have a stereo and mono pair, but with your many inputs/outputs you may be able to route your output to something other than the 6 tone? If not, try to just run the guitar to your "Line In" or "Microphone". I used this setup on a laptop to do "Negative Intrusion" and it sounded fine.

Great tutorial. Thanks a bunch. Your voice sounds like Robert Rodriguez!

Hey I just rocked a successful guitar recording session using edison. Sounds nice. Have you tried using the Slayer2 FX plugin? It can make your guitar sound like just about any famous lead/rhythm artist.

Well, the Slayer2 instrument is ok- not GREAT, but it also comes with that Slayer2 FX plugin which is basically just the amp/FX/cabinet effects. But it's got some true simulators of lots of the original pedal effects (chorus, tremolo, delay, compression sustain, wah etc.) and it comes with a ton of presets (which let you choose your effects to match a genre, band, or era. ("Power 70's" is my favorite)

I don't have the Slayer2 FX as I'm not too big on the vst inst. My 1/4 inch to USB device uses a pretty nice sounding virtual amp program (gearbox) with lots of pedal and amp sims, but i think i will check it out now that you mention it

Thanks for the props, D3. Maybe you can teach me some of your tricks?

BAh, dont be so modest, really good informative video!

your the coolest bro your beat goes so hard could i rap to it

i figured out the buttons and knobs part (the reason the manual is useless) where your tutes are cool is the parts people don't think about like diagonal piano roll cuts and sample drag&drops. i wouldve never figured that out. anyway im def going to check into that edison tip-does it still auto save? i know it has to have a source but i hate cleaning up after a dead end project so its wishful thinking lol

i don't know if i have any anywhere near as the ones you've come up with.. but if you plan on doing another tutorial for FL i can def tell you a problem i've been having with mine. basicly, i can't record guitar into edison while the drum pattern is going, or else it picks up the drums too. been trying to get around it for months, learned a lot about drivers though. oh and Advanced midi programming 101 would kick ass too

Great video for a FL6 or 7?. It still rocks today

how did u get the granulizer and slicer channel plugins bar to say audio clipboard instead of granulizer and fruity slicer

Ace, I have a question, how did you get your mic levels even? Every time I try to record my kids singing it only gives me levels on the left but not the right I always have to pan more right before they start singing? I don't have a very expensive mic but I have a really good pre amp Joe Meek MQ3...could you give me a bit of direction? Much appreciated

You're welcome! I'd rather see people make music than war. Are you getting good information out of these?

well now i'm going to watch your sampling tutorial, i didn't know you could use the browser for chopped samples, all this time i've been highlighting, coping, opening new, then pasting, then saving, then importing lol.. So basicly that one tutorial is saving me about an hour of work.. i can't believe the included manual in my boxed version neglected so many important things, i should burn that thing lol its strictly for noobs

Great concept ace,but when i drag a sample into sytrus it plays a preset instrument.Is there anyway i can drop my own sample replacing .a preset instument? I know the vst harmor which comes with fl10 dose this,but th effects are much more difficult than the matrix grid on sytrus.

thnxk yo this vid relly help

I've done a small bit of sampling, which I used for certain melodies in FL Studio 8. I used Audacity, because it's free (there are much better programs out there).

@AcePincter Detroit rock city. good video. you know how we do in murder city.

@AcePincter cool dude! r u in auckland?

Yeeya, NZ represent

Bring up your Windows mixer, and choose "Properties" from the options menu. Check the "Recording" radio button. Press OK. You'll see all your recording sources. I'll give you 10 to 1 that you're using "Wave out mix". Switch it to "Microphone" and it'll work. Post back with results for the others, ok?

how do i get sytrus to play the extracted slice when i hit a midi key? cos all i get is hi pitched noise and it's not even the slice i dropped into sytrus

X job!! thnk! stay easy culture

@dav1nl33 I've noticed that it only does that when I'm using the 1-bar overdub recording Edison Mixer thing...but that's the only way I know how to sample...is there another way to sample because when I use 1 bar overdub I'm having the problems i'm telling you about currently and i don't have a clue how to fix it...So basically what I'm saying is I need another way to sample besides Edison unless I can find a way to fix the problem Edison is causing

i didn't know you can drop samples in sytrus lol tnx

hm it says cd player, line in & microphone are checked.. that's on my internal driver, but really for recording i switch over to my line 6 tone port anyway..and if i do that then my line six also outputs the sounds from Fl Studio so it's still recording FL instead of just the guitar. it connects via usb, but i could try the spdif or whatever & see if it makes a difference

YES!

for some reason whenever i save it to the clip board, it only takes the last little bit and saves it.. any help?

Hey, when I sample a song and I try to play it in Edison, no sound comes out....Got any idea's what im doing wrong? Also, a box at top of the mixer says "not connected", but when I try to connect it to something, all of my choices are: Not connected. Help?

3:06 "Probably get something that sounds decent out of it" *DEATH MACHINE* bahahaha

i think i just figured it out.. for the windows mixer i have line6 as my recording input and my sound card as my output, BUT for FL I also had to have ASIO4ALLv2 as my master output, and when you use that it has a button where you have to disable the sound card in and the line6 out but have Both drivers turned on. then i had to select line6 in for my mixer.. i need to write that down lol

can u make more tutorials on audio recording for fl studio

Still fresh

@linkinparkMikeShinod I see exactly what you're talking about...& I unchecked it but it's still happening, & it isn't only with samples, it happens with everything, snares, kicks, drums...like when I open the view playlist thing i can put a part where there should be no sound...like the beat is supposed to drop(quit) but it still goes on and on and loops itself continuously even after i uncheck use loop points on everything

dont know if my comment came out... but here we go again .. at the time 7:24 seconds.. anothing screen came up on FL and I wanna know how to get that screen also how you do the layout on that to make the tracks

I live an hour over the border from Detroit, I thought your accent sounded familiar...

hey bro .. i am pretty new to mixing nd i m not a proffesional too. i just do it for fun. i m able to add a track to FL studio. i m able to produce a patterns but how do i add the patterns to the track?? and later how do i record and export the song???? plsss do help meeee

Where do u find the granulizer?

how do u paste into the song a selected part in a sample

Lmfao.. original name man... A-Cepincter.. :P That's a very helpful video by the way.

Hi how you get the song in there to sample I'm new to this

it cuts out 3 seconds before the samples done for me, is there a time limit?

Well i need help with this i know what im goin to tell you is simple but i just got a full version finally of fl studio 8 xxl producer edition. Well i can't get my my snare/clap to go tempo with my sample. Help me PLEASE!!!!!

When I press the ''Save audio clipboard to browser'', an error pops up and says that it can't create it because it can't find the directory. And there really isn't ....so what do I do? Help me, someone?

@AcePincter whooo Detroit

if i'm listening to my song i made in fl studio and i press stop my sample keeps playing does anyone know why?

It comes with FL 7, so yes.

How do i Get to record what im playing? it wont do anything

are you using the producer version or the fruity edition?

hello justin. its a long time since the upload of this video but can you get me the sample you play at the end so i can work with it ?

is acespincter your real name? wait butt ---hole--on a secunt. Ok im kidding man your vids are great in that they ease on the jargon and fl vernacular to work with my palette. thanx

So I've got to hear your voice twice in this video? ftw

Ever beatbox a drum loop into FL Studio?

@AcePincter @SampleSimple edison was working fine for me then i must have changed something and now i cant get it back i cant drag from edison like i was b4 it is not the freeze button can you please try to help me

what song is that? I'm a big aphex fan :DDDD

' Hey Sphincter '

I'm really stupid and inexperienced. 1) How do you record a sample from a song (one you haven't made just to be clear) 2) And is this program totally free? Does it come with a tutorial of its own?

time stretch or pitch your"sample"--im guessing it has a different beats per minute than your song- to match your song tempo-

where can i find edison? :(

2007

I've got this same problem, what's wrong ?

dude! i live in methven! its right by mt hutt =)

does fl work on a mac

Offered some high-quality information!! We have got FL training in the styles of The Runners, Lex Luger, and heaps more on my KZfaq channel!!!

MAN I CANT SELECT WHAT I WANT TO SAMPLE!!! WHEN I HOVER MY MOUSE OVER THE AUDIO I GET A LITTLE CROSS ICON, NOT LIKE THE NORMAL MOUSE ICON THAT YOU GOT. DO I NEED TO SELECT A TOOL FIRST!!!???

LOL thank you Wayne's World.

A SPHINCTER!!!!!!!

cool bro! another Refugee? Get residency

at?

Dude, you have you use VERY small samples for sytrus. like, milliseconds.
