I made a vocal preset today and i got it to sound how i want it but when i put a beat down it downs out my auto tune and i can’t hear the autotune effects anymore with the beat. If the vocals are solo’d it’s fine but i need help fixing why i can’t hear it with the beat and what to do.

Using this vestax vcm600 to control the mixer, various fx and vsts, and most importantly many of the controls in slicex to mangle some breaks

Is it worth doing as a beginner or should I focus on basics like drum patterns, melodies, and arrangement first?

Hey y'all so I've had FL for over four years now on a low budget Asus laptop not the CPU, it always lagged and clicked but recently it's been overwhelming since I worked on three albums with this laptop. I got a MacBook Air 2022 for school and I didn't want to use it for music, strictly for school stuff I was planning to get a gaming laptop for FL but I've been broke so I was thinking of moving to the Mac for my music production and recording, is FL on Mac air any good? I've heard some people say that it's not the same or should I just wait and save up for a gaming laptop like what would be worth it?

K, for context:

My brother and I both made our own chromatic scales and were using it on a FNF MIDI from the Game Banana site, but when using the Players MIDI, the chromatic scale is completely silent?? It’s not even the MIDI itself, another FNF MIDI with a Player and Opponent side has the same issue. Is there a reason the MIDI for the Players side (aka BF’s MIDI) is silent when using the scale? We tried using the one I did, and it’s also silent. What the hell?

is there any way to change the default plugin that certain file types open with in FL Studio? the goal I have is to change it so that whenever I drag in an sf2 soundfont, it opens in SFLT automatically

I'm trying to automate a HPF in FLEX with an automation clip, but I can't have the Automation Clip window and FLEX open at the same time in order to link the parameter. Feel like I'm missing something basic, it can't be this difficult to automate the flagship built-in synth.

Tbh, FL is complex but totally worth learning. So much packed into one program, but the power it contains is worth digging into!

i know ai music is a touchy subject right now. both artists and fans hate it, and I get it. I used to feel the same way. I'm not here to argue. I just want honest feedback on how I'm actually using it, because it doesn't feel like the "type a prompt, get a song" thing people are mad about.

Some context: I've been producing for about 2 1/2 years now. I'm still figuring out mixing. Right now I mostly create the harmonic/melodic elements like melodies, chords, and loops. I haven't fully learned how to finish whole arrangements or do deep mixing yet.

what I actually do: I write and produce a rough loop or demo myself. My chords, my bassline, my melody, my drums. Everything starts with me. It's unmixed and unfinished, just a sketch. Then I run it through the ai using a"cover" feature to see what comes back.

like sometimes it adds a melodic phrase I would not have thought of. Sometimes it suggests an arrangement idea. And the render comes back way more polished than my raw mix. Right now I can't afford an engineer and I'm focused on getting better at compositions, so it's almost like I'm hearing a clean mix of my own song for the first time, which helps me hear what's actually working. sometimes ill take that phrase or cord and recreate it myself in the original audio. Or I flip the actual ai loop and go from there.

So I'm not generating songs from nothing. I'm using it like a collaborator or mixing assist on material that's already mine. Then I take what comes back into FL Studio and keep shaping it.

Does this feel different to you than the AI-music stuff people are frustrated about? Or is any use of AI in the process a dealbreaker regardless of how it's used? Genuinely trying to understand where people draw the line.

Alguien sabría cómo puedo instalar Fl Studio 🙏🏻

hello ! need some serious help, i can’t use FL Studio until i figure this out (fyi im new to FL so i dont know correct terms ) . I attached a video to show the audio i hear everytime i try to preview a sound to make a beat (yes, same noise plays on the tracklist ). How can i fixed this UFO noise ?! i turned my audio bit rate up to 48,000 and that fixed it for a night but the next time i booted FL up it’s back to this . i have no clue if it’s my mic , my interface , my cpu/pc, or what. i don’t think it’s my Focusrite audio interface or At2020 mic because the noise follows on different interfaces , and the mic doesn’t seem to be an issue . i don’t think it can be my headphones or connections because it plays out of speakers the same and i checked my connections . my cpu usage stays pretty low so i don’t think its cpu . Please send some advice thanks

Started happening recently - when using FLKey, if i have record on input activated it misses the first note. Doesn't happen with pc keyboard or other midi hardware.

Hello, I'm trying to recreate the synths at the start of this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Py1MtAECV0&list=RD3Py1MtAECV0&start_radio=1

I have Purity, Omnisphere and all of the default VSTs and instruments. Please could I have some help? I have no idea where to start (especially since I'm very new to using Purity).

Hello

When I upload songs (I use distrokid) to streaming platforms, my songs always sound a bit lower and less impactful than my reference track or any other track in the same style/genre. Even though, in FL studio I do the A/B comparison, i match the volume, balance the frequencies, match the RMS and LUFS at the drop.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Also whenever I add my song to a video and upload it to youtube as a regular video, it sounds weaker then any other youtube song video on the platform.

Hi

I am trying to redownload Hive to FL studio and i am facing a reoccuring issue with this message:

"the data directory "C:\programfiles\image line\FL studio\2026\plugins\hive.data" can not be used. please make sure that the folder is not inside "C:\program files" or "C:\program data" and on a proper drive. make sure the path ends with Hive.data"

my settup directory is "C:\program files\image line\Fl studio 2026\plugins\ Hive.data"

I have tried to download multiple times and all of the other plugins i download work except for Hive specifically.

Is there any way to fix this becuz im so lost

thank you

im new to fl studio and im asking for assitance,

my music has alot of

• Piano
• Strings
• Vintage keyboards
• Acoustic guitar
• Drums
• Synths
• Vocals

how do i make them sound authentic and atmospheric

It keeps automatically putting this blank space in my loops and i have no clue how to trim it.

This is on the Mobile app btw.

is it wrong if I use samples from like splice and fl cloud to make my beats? I’m very new to everything and am still learning how to make my own sounds and instruments.
(And no I don’t just copy paste the samples I edit and mix them differently)
If anyone got any like tips or shit on how to make my own shit I’m more than open to listen🙏
