Whether you change this setting or not is down to personal preference. If you click and hold the right mouse button in the Playlist, it’ll switch to the Slice tool. It means for instance in Piano Roll if you click and hold a note for a short period of time, you’ll be drawing a slide note instead. In FL Studio, “Click and hold & Special Gesture functions” is enabled by default. This can be quickly fixed by pushing CTRL+SHIFT+H – which reverts everything in FL Studio back to the default view. This frustrating interface problem can be caused when you undock one of the detachable interface panels (click and drag). In that case hold shift and draw a note and it’ll automatically be snapped back to the grid ready to be resized as you need it.
Second When you are drawing notes in the Piano Roll the note size will be equal to the previous note drawn or selected. This bypasses the snapping grid you have set and you can also use it to stretch or shorten the end of a note. First Use the “alt” key when manipulating notes in the Piano Roll. In addition to these here are two more shortcuts which are good to know. Here are the shortcuts you should master early on to switch back and forth between windows fast: F5 Get used to using your keyboards function keys in FL Studio to improve your workflow. It’s one of those things which will slow you down at the start and speed you up in the long run. That’s a good thing! I organise them into groups e.g. lead, bass, drums, sound effects, automation.
If you spend time organising a project file you’ll end up being more invested in following through with the track. It helps to keep every layer named so you can remember what is what or it’ll quickly become a project that you open and instantly want to discard and move onto the next song (only to repeat in a vicious circle). In a song you might have lead sounds, bass sounds, drum samples, sound effect samples and automation clips all thrown in. When your song projects start getting bigger and better it helps to keep everything organised.
Hold the Alt key in combination with the left and right keys when in the mixer to move mixer tracks. Hold the alt key in combination with the up and down arrow keys when in the step sequencer to move inserts. In the example – “Synth Lead C” doesn’t belong among the drum layers! Sort instruments and samples in the step sequencer and mixer. Everyone’s workflow is different but you’re likely to find something useful here. Here are some things I’ve picked up in FL Studio over countless hours of music production.
