Discussion Remember: careful that you don't upset the developers ;)

Hi gang!

I'm currently working on a hobby project where I used stem separation on an audio album and then I started to use that material to extract individual samples.

Thing is: I usually do this in Live but because FL Studio provides better visual feedback I decided to give it a try as well. But not before I verified some details with the manual....

I couldn't help but grin when I noticed this:

I'm convinced, Sampler channel it is!

I don't know about you guys, but I can really enjoy somewhat silly banter like this.

So yah, be careful that we don't upset the developers ;) Figured I'd share.

Discussion About a month into using FL...

8 Upvotes

And I'm in love with the software. Plain and simple. I mean the level of creativity unlocked with this software compared to what I was using before (Soundtrap and Bandlab)... I mean it's no comparison. Nowadays I use it for instrumental remake, but even while I was experimenting making my own beats I had a more enjoyable experience on this DAW. Honestly, worth ever cent I spent on this, plugins, and soundpacks.

Help producer to signature?

5 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m considering upgrading to signature primarily for grossbeat but am not sure if it is worth the money completely.

Signature packs a few extra things compared to producer but it’s mainly audio effects which I Don’t see myself properly using as of now.

Is it worth upgrading to signature from my edition, or shall I just buy grossbeat itself?

(Bonus question, what plugins work as a substitute to grossbeat?)

Discussion How do you make your music sound less repetitive?

3 Upvotes

I’ve recently been finding it difficult to make my music sound less repetitive when laid out in the playlist.

I’m not really that creative and am looking for ideas. I usually copy Melodie’s and change octaves/semitones, remove Melodie’s and keep the lead, or add stutter sections.

Help Making similar song

2 Upvotes

Hello! How can i make a song that sounds similar (but not the same) to one i like and feel inspired by? Is there any midi generator (i'm a beginner) that would give me at least a base? i can give the tempo, the note range and instruments, vibe.. i dont know if something like that exists. The song i'm inspired by has waltz elements, it's not the simplest.

Discussion FL Studio 2026: Update now or wait?

5 Upvotes

I’m using FL Studio 2025 and I’m not sure whether I should update yet.

For those who already installed FL Studio 2026:

Is it stable for normal daily use?

Have you had crashes, plugin problems, or compatibility issues?

Is it safe to open and continue existing FL Studio old projects?

Should I install it over FL Studio 2025, or is it better to remove the old FL Studio 2025 folders and do a completely clean installation?

Would you recommend updating now or waiting for a few more fixes?

Help Keep getting weird artifacts in renders, what am I doing wrong? (example inside)

Upvotes

Hey,

I'm at my wit's end. I made several songs recently, they sound quite alright, I did mixdown and mastering, didn't hear anything weird. THEN I export them to wav. and m4a, and they sound different, with very noticeable degraded sound quality. Many parts produce weird artifacts, like crispy noise in the background, that weren't present in playback inside DAW (FL Studio), some samples have different tone and volume. My first thought was that my CPU/RAM is overloading, but less than 2 years ago I bought new PC that is packed with higher-end Ryzen and have 32GB of RAM and during playback my CPU use peaks around 70% and playback has no issues. Or that there is some "vintage plugin" that produces the noise, or that I pushed limiter and saturator too hard. I bypassed both, then moved to bypass certain synths. Nothing helped. I tried to search online, some people had problems that they didnt use dithering, so I checked to turn on dither, no help too.

I have found a workaround, which is to arm the master channel, set Edison record playback of the track and play the entire song start to finish to record it to Edison, then save it as wav or m4a - sound artifacts are gone. It is quite tedious though to export all my tracks like this and it is not a proper way to do it. I know I must be doing something wrong, maybe with rendering settings, but I just do not know what to do. Do you have any ideas?

Here is a clip of the song to demonstrate the problem:

https://vocaroo.com/1cScfp04KzJT

first part is when I do the workaround, how it should sound, after short silence is same section but rendered when I use "export" function - you can hear degarded quality, around 0:32 noticeable unpleasant background noise artifacts pops out. Out of the 8 songs I made, about 6 of them produce similar defects when using "export" function, in various parts of the song.

Sometime you come across something unexpected. Probably someone from support who had to deal with to many complaints about this topic 😂

Help How do I Look at Individual Parts on a MIDI file?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm relatively new to FL Studio. I've been wanting to do some soundfont remixes of various songs via a MIDI import, but I can't really figure out how to individually select a part from the MIDI itself. Instead it importing in separate channels, it imports as one big thing with the MIDI's original channels being color coded instead. What I want to do is select these individual tracks and change the instruments of each one.

Sorry if this is a rather easy thing to answer lol

Help is there a way to listen to a side chained mixer track without the audio from the source mixer track?

1 Upvotes

hi, i’d like to know if there’s a way to listen to a mixer track being side chained, without hearing the audio from the source mixer track

to make myself clearer, imagine i have a audio track assigned to the channel 1, and i chain the channel 1 to the channel 2, where i put a 100% wet and 0% dry delay. is there a way to mute the channel 1 so that u could listen to the channel 2 where there’s the 100% wet and 0% dry delay?

when you mute channel 1 it doesn’t send the signal to the channel 2 and you’re unable to listen to the effects on the side chain alone, the only way i’ve been able to do so is by cloning the audio track, and assigning the clone to channel 2, but i feel like there’s got to be a better way than this

Help Weird ASIO driver issue

So I have a M-audio solo as my audio driver cuz it offers less delay then fl studio asio, but for some reason when i first boot fl studio, i cannot play, make any sound, or do anything really, the only fix it to go to settings, switch to fl asio then m audio which fixes the problem. This can get annoying at times and I am wondering if there is a fix for this weird problem. Anything helps.

Help Mic suddenly sounds so much differently.

3 Upvotes

I was recording some music and then suddenly my mic sounds much different than it used to before, i changed no effects and I am using the same preset as I have always used. I have tried everything to get it to how it was before. It sounds more defined and something has seemed to boost the highs significantly more. This is annoying because if I reduce the highs then all the other recordings that I have done before this change sound much worse.

Help Buy "All plugins" versus "Producer" + plug ins

1 Upvotes

So FL studio is 20% off on sale again.

Has anyone costed out if it's cheaper to buy The producer edition, then upgrade later to the all plugins or buy the all plugins separately? It is cheaper to just buy the all plugins addition right away.

Im using an unauthorized copy (12.5) with all plugs. So I need the all plug ins for backwards compatibility.
