FL Studio has a very unique way of working with audio. It began as a pattern/sample editor but with its advancements, there are now numerous ways of working with audio in FL. They are quite different if you have come from other audio software. So let’s take a look at some essential quick ways of working with audio in FL Studio.

Tip 1 – Using Audio in the Pattern Editor

You can add an audio clip to the pattern editor and then inside this audio clip you can add an audio sample. To do this, go to Channel > Add One > Audio Clip.

This adds an audio clip to the pattern editor. Now let’s assign an audio clip to this channel. Click this clip to open the Channel Settings window, and on the channel settings window click on the folder to choose an audio file on your system to add this file to the clip. You’ll now see the audio file loaded into the Channel Settings window in the bottom.

Now place a beat on the pattern to trigger the audio file. Maybe you want to trigger the audio file on the 5th beat. This works great if you’re using audio effects, maybe like voice dialogue that you’d like to add into your tracks. And this is also a great way to build up your own unique drum kit. Add audio clips to the pattern editor and then add the drum audio samples to these clips. Make sure FL Studio is in Pattern Mode to hear the audio clip play back.

Tip 2 – Audio Tracks in the Playlist

Let’s look at how to add audio files into the playlist. You can drag an audio file straight onto an empty track in the playlist and it’ll be added. You’ll see FL updates the track with the audio waveform.

Or if you have audio in an audio clip like in the previous step, you can drag the audio file waveform on the bottom of the Channel Settings window onto an empty playlist track as well, and it’ll add the audio file.

Tip 3 – To Snap or Not Snap your Audio

The Audio clips will snap to the grid on the Playlist view. If you don’t want them to snap, then go to the snap menu and choose None. The snapping is great if you want to arrange audio clips like drums to a grid pattern, but if you working with something like vocals you want to move this audio around more freely Under the moon otome game download english.

Tip 4 – Using Edison as an Audio Recorder

The Edison plug-in can be used to record and edit your audio. First add Edison as an insert in the Mixer view. You can add it to any track, even the Master track. Make sure you’ve chosen an Input in the Mixer to record the audio.

Make sure to slave the tempo to your project so that when you play back your project it syncs up with the Edison player. With the row of buttons under the Edison name, click on the second button to enable it to slave the playback to the host.

The great thing about Edison is that you can view the audio waveform as it records. When you’ve finished recording, you can drag the audio file to your playlist by clicking and holding on the Drag/Copy Sample/Selection button (the second to last along the toolbar) and then drag this to a track in the Playlist

Tip 5 – Audio Editing with Edison

Edison can also be used to edit your audio. You can edit your recorded audio, or even add audio samples into the Edison sampler by either clicking on the first icon in the toolbar on Edison or choosing ‘Load Sample’, or you can even drag audio files onto Edison to load them into the sampler.

You can do the standard stuff, like making a selection on the audio, and then cutting this out of the audio waveform, or even copying it and pasting it elsewhere in the audio. Click on the Scissors tool icon to bring up the editing possibilities

But there’s some real handy audio editing effects under the Run tool. Navigate to FX and try out some of these effects on your audio. I really like the Destuctoid effect, to add saturation and bitcrushing to my audio.

Conclusion

That’s some handy audio editing techniques that you can use with your audio in FL Studio. So FL Studio does work slightly differently with audio compared to other audio software, but it does have a lot of flexibility and alternatives to the way that audio is handled. Try these techniques out in your next production.
