FL's Stock plugins range from average to Amazing.Hook up the FPC to a midi controller or keyboard btw Also, using the FPC as an MPC is mostly about using Edison (FL's Audio Editing plugin) to chop, screw and manipulate samples.

The Mellotron setup was actually really cool. A producer I know has taken several short samples of instruments, loaded them up into his FPC and now has a giant 32 pad bank of instruments and recordings.The FPC can be used however you like: a drum kit, an MPC (works very well as that) or even a Mellotron. You can load your own samples as well as many layers of samples into one pad. It has 4x4 (16 total) pad layout with 2 banks (32 pads in total).

FL Studio's default drum kit (the FPC) is awesome.

Now, workflow is mostly subjective so take my opinions/suggestions with a grain of salt: SeamlessR explains a lot of the basic functions of FL Studio (he has a playlist for the older version & the newer version - FL 12) SeamlessR, warbeats & BusyWorksBeats (a hip hop producer) are all great YouTubers that teach FL Studio and its functions & workflow. So yeah, any recommendations on where to start from the VERY beginning? But I need to first understand the most basic process of how to start making SOMETHING. But coming into FL Studio I am completely lost, so I feel overwhelmed & don't know where to begin.Ĭan anyone recommend a place to start learning the most BASIC aspects of how to physically use the program & develop a workflow? I feel that once I know my way around the program I will be able to experiment, watch tutorials, etc. I have decent experience in Adobe programs (After effects, PS, etc), so I find that when I try a new one of those programs I can find my way around it & develop a workflow pretty naturally. I have FL Studio & have tried messing around in it & even tried some intro tutorials & such, but I am having a lot of trouble grasping just the most basic aspects of how to use the program. I am coming at this as an absolute beginner. Lately I've been wanting to get into producing beats & learning to mix & such.
