Fl Studio

By looking at the title of my blog you can probably already know what I'm going to be talking about. I'm sure that many of you know what the blog is about, but I don't think many of you know what the term Fl Studio is. Well thats why I'm posting this blog, to inform all of you about Fl Studio. What is Fl Studio? Well let me start by saying that it is a digital audio workstation software for your computer. Some of you are still probably a little confused on what this means so thats why I'm going to go into detail on what this software does. Ok well you know all those hip hop, rap, or techno songs you always hear on the radio, but it can really be any genre of music, well most of them are created with programs like Fl Studio. What Fl Studio does is let the user create pretty much create any type of music they like with its endless effects, samples and beats it has. Say you want to creat a song, the first thing you need to that song is a beat. It could be a drum beat, clap, hi hat, pretty much whatever you want. Well go into Fl Studio choose the effect and style of beat you want, position it where and what time you want it played and loop it, there you go you got the beat to your song good to go. Now you just can't just have a beat going by itself it be to boring, so you go into Fl Studio's endless effects and samples and pick whichever one you think would fit your song the best. It even has pre made effects if you don't feel like creating your own. My favorite thing to instead of using the pre made effects or the samples it comes with is find a song I really like and sample out a piece of music out of it. I've ended up making some really cool songs this way and people usually like them because it sometimes reminds them of the songs I sampled. Well now that you got the sample or effect you picked out you have to place it in the song. Now this part can be a little tricky because if by not placing it in the right spot your whole song can be off beat and just sound horrible and annoying. But Fl Studio has a tool called beat synthesiser(don't think thats spelled right) which makes it impossible for you to be off beat. You might place the sample somewhere where it might not sound so good but it will never be off beat. Well now that you got the music and the beat to back up your music your song is pretty much done unless you want to add vocals to it. If you have a mic Fl Studio has great software to import vocals and it even gives you options to add effects to your vocals to give it that certain style your looking for. Well there you have it a quick tour of what Fl Studio has to offer and if what I talked about sounded interesting and you wanna give it a try heres the link to download a demo of the software and I'll leave you with one of my favorite covers of a song created by Fl Studio.
