RE: Help me Mister Wizard!
Hi,
I'm one of those mac users who ended up buy a PC specifically for FL Studio. I simply LOVE
that app!! If the kinda music you make is very pattern based and "modular" then this program is
for you. The idea behind FL is easy:
- Create different patterns for different instruments, sections, etc.. so you could have different
patterns for drums, drum fills, lead lines, basslines, etc...
- Once you got your patterns created, then in SONG mode, you start constructing you song in
the playlist. This is where the fun begins. It's like using LEGO blocks to create your
arrangement.
- Then of course, to create a more seamless and professional mix, you will use the mixer to
effect and engineer your individual instruments, vocals, etc...
This is really the basis of how FL studio works. You have instruments (virtual instruments) that
end up being used to make patterns, and the patterns are used to make your "song" in the
playlist.
When I first got FL studio, all I need to get going was their getting started manual, which is
available for download. Grab that and start making some tracks.

Hey Guys,
Im new to this
electronic producing world and purchased FL Loops 5. Ive watched the tutorials but still having
difficulty. Whats difficult is that after seeing all the different devices in FL Studio, such as the
Sequencer and Piano Roll, I still cant figure out how to make a simple song. I must be thick in
the brain or something. In the tutorials, they just tell you how a device works, but not how to
really use it. That is, if you do this and then import into that, the beginning of a song happens.

So, if any of you got advice on this subject, I would love to hear about it. Better yet, do
you know where I can find that tutorial that demonstrates what Im talking about?
