The Fruit Tree FL Studio

If you need help with Fruity Loops here are a couple ideas:

I bought myself a copy of the FL Studio Bible last year. It’s quite a helpful book with 362 pages explaining basically everything about Fruity Loops. There is even a section in the back of the Bible with interviews from producers, who actually use Fruity Loops to make a living! It is really great to know that there are people out there who make a living using Fruity Loops.

So far I have made absolutely no money using Fruity Loops. Still, the thought of sitting at home in my bedroom studio making beats and selling them is what keeps me going!

This is the list of producers who use FL Studio as their central music creation tool. All of these artists are interviewed in the Fruity Loops Bible and what they have to say is really interesting. You can download tunes by these artists on the Fruity Loops website in the power users section. Some of the well known artists who use Fruity Loops (known as power users in The FL Bible) include:

Mike Oldfield
9th Wonder
Seismic Crew
Mark Tinley
Meg Hentges
Peter (Skaven) Hajba
DeadMau5
Toby Emerson
Ripley+Jenson
Doug Lazy
Steve Duda

A couple of other artists who I know have used Fruity Loops (or FL effects) in their tunes are:

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve something. Especially if they say that FL Studio is just a toy. I am sick of people saying such things. This program has unlimited capabilities

If that makes any sense! Learn how to cut long samples when another sample is triggered.

There’s more to the channel settings other than levels adjustment. Check out the cut/ cut by feature.

This is used to cut a note when another note is triggered. Very handy for percussion for example: when a drummer hits an open hi hat followed by a closed hi hat, the open hi hat is cut by the closed hi hat. This is because the sounds are coming from the same cymbal.

To imitate this in FL Studio:

1. Take an open hi hat and a closed hi hat and load them into the sampler.

2. Create a simple pattern: open hi hat on 1,3,5,7 and closed hi hat on 2,4,6,8.

3. Click on the open hi hat and select cut ‘1’, cut by ‘2’. Click on the closed hi hat and select cut ‘2’, cut by ‘1’. Press play and you have each of the samples cutting each other. (If you cannot hear a difference load in a sample with a longer release time.)

This technique can be applied to any sample to cut another sample and create interesting effects.Also when you click ‘cut itself’ the sample will be cut when the next note is triggered.
