Tutorial on beat buttons in FL Studio?

The answer to that might be anyone, but that would get you nowhere, although everything in FL Studio is connected. The best thing to do is to choose your first sounds.

Hey take it easy! For that, go to the Browser at the left side and navigate through the bar. Notice that every time you click on a sample it makes a short sound indicating you its type of sound. But the Browser (F8) has several submenus or groups of samples so maybe you are not sure of which one to pick and of course what to do with them. This is the first news: The samples go to the Step Sequencer (F6), the square box just at the right of the Browser, Remember?.

Tutorial 1: The basics

Tutorial on the basics of FL Studio

There are many ways and many web sites where one can learn the ABC of FL Studio. This blog has its own way too so I’ll try to make it as simple and attractive as possible for you not to get bored or yawn after reading the first three lines. I assume you have purchased FL Studio or you’re about to. After all, you need a car before you start driving, right?

First things first. What to know before using FL Studio?

I love music, any kind of music, there’s nothing in the world like music. In my opinion music is God’s best gift to humanity.

As a music lover I always dreamt of being a musician or a famous singer or a great composer, but, I had a problem: my voice is terrible, I never went to a school music and worst; I never learnt to play a musical instrument. A good friend of mine tried to teach me some guitar lessons but my fingers did whatever they wanted but my command, and so it happened with the piano (what was it? too many keys?), and with the trumpet and so on until I realized that my passion for creating music was a lost cause.
