Why not play with them all to see what they do? Sending Sound to the Mixer. Any effects placed in the Master Mixer Track will be applied to all the sounds in the song.
What are all those wires and knobs at the bottom of the selected track? You can send audio from one Mixer track to any of the others. Sidechain sends happen when you turn the audio to minimum. These are useful for some FX that can use sidechains like Fruity Limiter. The order in which you add effects plugins decided in what order the FX are applied to the signal.
Think of it this way — the signal enters the top of the FX stack and leaves the bottom. So Delay above a reverb would mean the delay sits in a wash of reverb. Reverb above delay means the reverb tail is chopped up and delayed. To make it easier to experiment with effects order, FL Studio has a simple function to move an effect up or down in the effects chain. A quick way is to place your mouse cursor over the FX slot and scroll your mouse wheel. No wheel? A sidechain means a sound from one mixer track can be passed directly to a specific effect on another, a direct connection.
Normally sound goes from slot 1 to As mentioned, you can get on-line help for all of the FL Studio Plugins, but here's a quick rundown on what they all do sorted by category —.

Getting New Plugins. FL Studio has a great selection of FX Plugins but people are always creating new ones, and you can find many of them on the web.
Some are free and some cost money. Surf the web kvraudio. The on-line reference press F1 in FL Studio contains in-depth step-by-step guides on how to install and use such third party plugins.

One of the most useful for getting a loud commercial sounding mix is Fruity Limiter. Choose an Automation Pattern.
OK, this is important. You will be able to see the automation in the Pattern Clip as a background shading. As you learn more about what you are doing, you can break out of this mold, but you need to start simply. Right-click the record button and check Automation recording is ON! Record Some Live Tweaking. When you think you've got something groovy, make sure you've selected the Main Automation pattern and have selected Automation recording in the right-click menu on the record button, then press the Record Switch shown below.
You may hear a three-tick countdown first, depending on whether the 3. Then start the song and work your magic. The song will play once and then stop. Turn recording off and press Play in Playlist mode, with your pattern in the Playlist. You've just done your first Live Recording session! Important Note. When you've got the Recording Switch on and the loop is playing, moving a knob will erase over all the previously recorded tweaks from that point in the song until the end.
This can be frustrating, so often it's best to get the recording approximately the way you want it and then make further changes in the Event Editor described in the next section. What can be Recorded? Most knobs and sliders are recordable, including those that control Plugins.
But some controls aren't recordable. The quickest way to tell what's recordable is to mouse over a control and look for the red recording icon in the Hint Bar. If these steps appear, then you can record that control. Hint bar description Red Dot. Where is my data?

That's where the event editor comes in. Each time you move a knob during a recording session, the new setting is stored as an "event" for that knob at that moment in the pattern.
With the event editor, you have complete control over how the sound is tweaked during playback. This allows you to export the automation to a format that can be directly tweaked in the Playlist rather than in the editor. The PAN on the Snare sample, for instance. Let's assume you already did that in the previous section.
Right-click on the knob you automated, and select Edit Events from the pop-up menu. The screen you are looking at now is a lot like the Graph Editor described earlier. One difference is that this graph controls the level of a single knob or slider at a particular point in the song. OK, it's actually more complicated than that. Remember how we told you to keep all your live recording in a single pattern Pattern 2 and place this pattern once at the beginning of a song?
If you do that, then the bars in the Event Editor will match the bars in the Playlist. If you don't do that, you're on your own! The other main difference is that this graph is used to set Events bright vertical lines corresponding to the value of the knob you are setting that persist until the next event.
Event Editor Modes. The event editor has several modes, explained below:. Snap - Controls the time resolution horizontal. Draw tool - Left-click and drag to draw curves. Right-click and drag to draw straight lines OR to edit in interpolate mode. Modifier keys: Shift - Lock vertical position. Ctrl - Select time-line. Alt - Bypass snap. Brush tool - Bypasses the snap value. Ctrl - Select time- line.
Erase tool - Resets data to the value at the start of the selected range. Modifier keys: Ctrl - Select time-line. There is a limited form of undo available for the Event Editor.
Setting the Initial Event. You will notice that after live recording, the knob you recorded sometimes doesn't start in a sensible place when you play back the loop. This can be fixed by turning the knob to a good start position, and then right clicking the knob and selecting Init Events With This Position.
This sets the very first event so that the knob will always start where you want it. Getting a Feel for It. It takes some practice to master the event editor, and to be able to get a song to sound exactly the way you want it, but it's definitely worth it.
Keep practicing until you get it right! Live Recording Defeats Static Tweaking. If a knob has some events recorded on it, you can no longer just set it anywhere you want and expect it to stay there. You have to go through the Event Editor or start a new live recording session to change it. Introducing the Event LFO tool. Using the Event LFO. Make sure you're on the right pattern in the pattern selector.
See above. Notice the dialog has three sections. If you play with the controls in the Start and Shape sections, you should be able to create all kinds of cool effects. In the Start section, you can alter the value height , range depth , and speed length of the waves.

The input menu shows a drop-down list of the available soundcard inputs mic, line etc. The screenshot above shows Mic 1 selected yet each mixer track has its own external input options menu. Input options will only be visible if an ASIO soundcard driver is active.

The Edison Blur Tool works in a similar way to the Convolution Reverb, by multiplying an impulse sound in this case, noise , against the waveform. The result is to smear or 'blur' the sound. The multiplier function is determined by a user-selectable envelope. To preserve more of the original qualities of the sound, use narrower shaped envelopes.
