In the playlist, select your pattern, and right click the left-hand list, where it lists (pattern 1, pattern 2). From the menu that appears when you right-click, choose "Split by Channel".

This is honestly made for me I'm never happy with anything. I've used this program for 5 days and made nothing, spent hours watching tutorials. This video helped me the most.

Great list of methods, thanks for the tips Justin.

I thought you meant "I'm Mos Def" and nearly pissed myself! lol! Thanks for the props bro. I haven't had any new videos but I'm planning a few neat ones for this weekend.

Good video, mate. I too work a full time job, and this video gave me some good ideas. Its hard to be creative on tight a schedule, and i really hate it when i finally do have time to sit down and nothing comes to mind. Keep em comin.

That's some great tips! You showed some quite nice things I didn't know you could do in realtime in FL Studio too. Thanks!

It's the last preset in Sytrus. Works well with a little bit of pitch bend.

That is correct, you do have to take a break once in a while. My point is that this break may be taken longer and longer because of one's lazyness, after which it's very hard to meke yourself start making something again.

Nice!! I have had the same issue with ideas coming when not at computer, and blanking when there. This is a great vid for a quick respark. Thanks.

For an instrument like this, you'll have to be using a piano roll. Otherwise your note will have infinite sustain! Right click on your sytrus channel and choose "Send to Piano Roll". This should take your individual step and transform it into a long piano note. Shorten it if you need to. You can apply this to any channel to control note length and pitch.

Enjoyed your video, thank you!

Another innovative tutorial, kicks ass.

This one was useful for me. I often feel ike I lack inspiration. Especially reminding me about the adviceabout leaving out the beat. I "want" to do it but usually end up just forgetting it somehow. :D

i totally agree, just give a few 10 minute tutorials on like dance, rock, techno, hardstyle, i dunno whatever. btw, this is the like the best tutorials on youtube. some people might say it's NFX (warbeats) but he spends like 30 minutes explaining the simplest of things, as if we are dumb...and there is the lisp...haha lol. thanks for all these inforative videos.

another really informative vid dude thanks

Thanks A.P.

I'm fairly new at using FL Studio so a friend of mine introduced me to your vidz...they have been an eye-opener/huge help; thank you. I usually throw sounds together that overpower each other. How do I keep some of the samples from carrying their sound during songplay, even after the pattern has stopped? For instance, some Sytrus samples.

Tools Menu > Project General Settings! Good question - Sorry I forgot to include this. If you prefer to move between time signatures, the easy way to do this is to set the PATTERN LENGTH for values other than 4. The PATTERN LENGTH is that little greyish box in the top left corner of the CHANNELS menu. Drag the mouse on it while holding the button to set a desired length.

@palmettoplaya That's because music happens through us, not from us. We like to think we're in control of the music, but that's the illusion. ;) A lot of musician's don't realize is that hearing the music in your head is just as real as if you were to sit down on the keyboard (or mpc, etc.) and start playing. So even if you don't think you have an idea, you get get on FL studio, start improvising and let the ideas flow through you. But it's not happening because you're "creating" it.! ;)

damn that melody at the start is nice actually

Just search google for heaps of them. I just did a search for "nothing else matters midi" and found some 5 matches right away. I scored a ton of quality midi files from a piano teacher friend of mine, but you can easily find any song that people somewhere might karaoke to.

@thespursareadynasty I agree, it helps wonders!

go to piano roll and use the channel pitch feature.

One thing I noticed was you said there's not really good drum beats in 3/4 or 5/4...if I have to deal with something 3/4 time I try to give the drums a kind of 6/8 feel which will give the song a totally different face but I like it. And being a drummer I automatically hate anything dealing with 5/4 unless it's for just a one measure transition.

Drop the mid to about 30% and add Fruity Flangus!

Right-click a sampler, click Generators, then FL Keys - that's a pretty real piano if you want one.

Are you referring to the echoes/reverb that usually accompany a sytrus sound? These are changed on the FX page of the Sytrus. However, the Sytrus' sound is being generated by a formula in real-time, so it's not technically a "sample". There are many different problems you can have if you have your "sampler" channels set up improperly. So I might be giving you the wrong advice. I have to ask you to be specific - which instrument or "channel" is causing problems, and what does it sound like?

For instance...Packs/Sytrus/Sequence. Pretty much any of those sequence "samples" carry from an ambient to thick overtone throughout a song.

I second that evolvi, way to go a.p.!

thanks man

xD Ace, you're awesome.

Where u get that trumpetttt

You arethe man.

got a question for you Justin i work a f/t job as well like yourself so i can't always have fl studio in front of me grrrr. just wondering how do you write down melodies without fl studio around? i mean is there a way to do it with a pen and paper? i'm still some what new to this so i'm always trying to learn something new so that i can improve my beat making skills.

how do u run the 'chopper' and 'flip' tools?? directions please.

Not really, your skills may decrease for a bit, then you pick up from where you left off. My point is that you can't just expect to always sit down at FL studio anytime, anywhere and expect to create something every time you show up. That's not how it works.

can you explain the grid/piano roll as far as programming because i just play Justin Brown

@mikehh9 you sound like someone who has never even used FL... FL is a great program to work with ,especially if you know how to use it right. I love FL, even though I now use Cubase, and I tell you, FL is like none other. It just gets a bad rep because it is so easy to use, and A LOT of people who shouldn't be making music, use it.

hey man i gotta ask you. do you make some or most of your samples? im trying to find a real sounding piano but im still using the free samples fl comes with... can you let us know how to cut samples out of songs? or where u get your samples? thanks a lot. Your tutorials are very helpful. if you can message me through the youtube channel. =] thanks alot!

true that

Where did you find you "scale-based" folder in you "arpegiattor" folder ? I don't have it :(

The image on the backround.// Whats the name of it??? *Music theorie{

How do you make a vibrato/tremolo effect at 1:50 ? thx

do you buy most of these instruments? they dont sound like any stock fl ones

what an amazing vid, you know the ins and outs of fl :) you think you could help me out? just quickly take a peek at my new song and give me some pointers? i would greatly appreciate it! (True Trance is the name) thanks! please keep doing these tutorials they help so much

@thespursareadynasty Cliché's are always based on true facts ^^

how do you open the flipper menu ?

Can you be more specific, please? I don't know what you can't do, or what you want to do.

where do u get those midi files?

Holy parallel fifths...

ghost channel helpers - ghost channel

4front vsts...

me too xD

Or you will keep postponing it until you forget everything you know.

or get your drink on lol

Why not just take off time from producing music and do another activity? There really is not such thing as musician's block (or writer's block). Its a myth. Writers block only happens when you try forcing something that isn't there. And when you find nothing is coming, just back off. Walk away and come back later. Or a few days, even a few weeks. You will come across fresh new inspiration ;)

me 2 lol

weeeh! loud voice =)

lol

Just seeing that FL garbage program turns my stomach. It just sounds so plastic and corny, stick with Reason if you strictly software for SURE.
