WARNING: This blog post is awfully long. Please skip if it is not for you.
In the last fl studio post I had said that i'd put up links for mastering tutorials
here they are: Useful video tutorials for learning mastering on FL Studio:
compression and eq settings - mastering and increasing vocals quality
adding effects to vocals - it says just delay but it practically shows everything you'll require.
layering many instances of vocals - it teaches you how to move around audio clips in the playlist and how to slice them and cut them.
This link talks a bit about Mixer and playlist
Ok, now lets get back to even more basic stuff that you'll need to make a mix.
-If you have a song that you have recorded in separate audio clips, you will want to mix the tracks together and align them properly.
1)Firstly to load a track ,just find it in your browser and drag it in the playlist.
When you do that, a channel is generated in the 'pattern maker' for each corresponding audio clip.
2)You can move around the tracks and slice them as desired ,as taught in the vocal layering video link given at the top.
3)Now, to add effects we use the mixer.
A mixer is basically many audio clip players which send their signal from one to the next to the next track, till the signal reaches the main 'master' signal. Its a chain of signals.
- Open the mixer.
4)We will now link the tracks that we have drawn in the playlist ,with each corresponding channel of the mixer.
- To do this,
-select one audio clip from the pattern maker by clicking on it (a green led lights up).
-Then go to the mixer, click on track1. right click in the upper part of that slot, click 'link selected channels > to this track'.
-Thats it, your clip is now in the mixer track.
Note*- click on the umbrella like or fat arrow shaped icon on the bottom of that track. When it is lit up, it means that it 'sends' its signal to the next track. All the used tracks we use have to be lit up in that. or the signals wont be considered.
5)to add effects,
In each track track on the right side, you have open slots where you can drag effect makers from ctrl+F8 menu.
- Similarly, select the next audio clip in the pattern maker.
click track 2 in the mixer. and link the track to the clip.
Remember that the audio clips in pattern maker are linked with the playlist.
-Anything thats played in the playlist is the final mix. Whether sliced or not or moved or whatever.
-Patternmaker is just like a register that has names of audio clips. we can use pattern maker to link them to mixer. thats all.
-once you have adjusted your tracks ,aligned them in the playlist ,added effects, your mix is ready to be heard
make sure the 'song' mode is on , so you can hear everything together. and play.
select file>export .and make an mp3.
Your mix is ready!
