FL Studio Tutorials...

[timbo1]

Hi there,
Every where i look you will always see ppl looking for FL tutorials, everyone needs help!
I have had FL for some time now, going back to when i first had the 3.4 release. I've gotten to know a few things, there good, but like a beginner not great...

So i want to use this topic for the Advanced Fruity Loopers to the ppl who just opened the box and have taken out there FL disc, looking at it with pride knowing some day they will be great :)

I guess we have to start somewhere, but for a beginer (like myself) where do we start? what should we do? how long will it take me just to make one friggin good song!
We have read the hotkeys, we know what all the interface buttons do, we understand what a piano roll, FX channels, Patterns and all that stuff is.
So why cant there just be a simple step by step process telling you how to make wicked songs?
Ive been through here, ive been through google, ive registered in oh so many forums only to find useless junk we all know.

So if there is that person out there, who knows what to do to start off with, can explain how to make a song in plain english, well i beg you to share your Info with all these struggling FL Users like ourself.
I know this forum will come in handy for those beginers who just need the kick start they've been waiting for.
And for those people who can help i thank you now for all of your support!

right.....

i suggest you did what every good audio artist on the portal did.

learn it yourself....

you will learn how to use things for things they were NOT meant for (good things too) and you will learn way more then if you use a tutorial you will always try to do it SOMONE ELSES way.

Pandora is correct.

Even though tutorials are recommended, the only way you can learn is to expirement, which is rewarding when you learn the ups and downs and tricks of your options.

I didn't get where I' am today by asking for tutorials for my software, I never have, I've become an expert on it, when I felt prepared or know I was ready, I start publishing my songs.

I've been told I have a good style, which is also what I got on my own.

now now - lets not be too harsh - I think tutorials here should only be meant for users that have a pretty good grasp on fl but want to learn one or 2 more things that may have been bugging them. I think its suffice to say that none of us know how to use 100% of the program... and we all use it in different ways. Heck i mainly just use it as a shell to run other things..

i know 100% of the program =)

and ur right about using it as an anchor for other things.

im getting to where i barely use anything that came with fruityloops, but its still a kick fucking ass program
