Completely New at FL

[RaFa]

I have owned FL for a couple of days and I need major help! I've never used any tool similar to this and find this whole programm very confusing. How do I start off? I've searched on the web for tutorials, and guides but none of them really go into much detail. I've also looked for books about FL but found just one which got bad ratings. How did you guys learn to use FL?

trial and error just mess wit it

Better question to ask is "How many hours you guys spend in fruity loops before you made beats that were worthy?"

Every program has whats called a "learning curve" the amount of time it takes to learn the ins and outs. Then
and only then, do you begin to let whats in your
HEad come through your fingers, into FL and Out the speakers and back into your ears.

good idea,,,,

as an answer to one of ur first questions.

[in almost every instance] If you are just starting out with fruity loops, ur beats will come out as some techno bullshi.. just the FL rule of thumb. gotta get new sounds, and learn how to chop and or sample with fl.






the short answer.

like everyone else says i n a nutshell, PLAY AROUND.

play around with it. nothing else will improve your skills. it's like that with anything. the only reason i know so much about FL, and it's not even that much because FL can be amazingly complicated, is because i spent hours just playing around, finding new things, experimenting with new effects.

i didn't even know FL Keys existed until a few months ago!

fl should be taken as a sequencer and forget the vst that comes with it. maybe besides th sytrus. just hook up native intruments cuz they come with vst support. trully amazing
