AlexxRogers Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 All right guys, I've done this FL Studio Tutorial, want to know if you find it useful or not. For those of you who don't/never have used FL Studio, could you use my tutorial and create what I did? If not, how can I improve it? All opinions welcome. Thanks, Alex.

GaZaa Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 In all honesty it was a bit difficult to follow mainly because it was just watching you make a track in FL. It could really do with some annotation or voice over just to give people more insight to what it is you're actually doing. Even if it's just to tell people what instruments you're using and where to find them. I think you used some key commands in there to transpose some of the MIDI which without knowing the key command is difficult to follow and would probably lead to finding another tutorial. Good on you though for actually putting it all together. I'm a Logic and Pro Tools user and have wanted to make tutorials for about a year and just can't find the best way to go about it. It can be difficult getting the amount of information you need in a video for newbies, with a bit of annotation and highlighting a few key points in the video it may be more useful.

I thought just follow my mouse would tell you where to find the instruments I used, but I know what you mean - I'm going to write in the description how to find the instruments, folder by folder. Thank you for this. Did you read the description? That tells you most, if not all of the keyboard short cuts I used, and what was happening. Thank you for your input really helps! I'll look into getting a mic for future tutorials, as I know this does help as well, plus it's quicker and easier to listen to someone talking than reading loads of writing. Thanks again, Alex.

GaZaa Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yea I had a quick look at the description and it does help a bit. Just for me (and I must admit I'm a bit anal about it) I like to also know why I'm doing and what I'm doing. It just makes things a bit clearer when clicking a button with a symbol to know what that button actually does and why you need to click it. I never got on with FL studio and as daft as it sounds I found it a bit complicated and faffy coming from Cubase a few years ago. Lots of people use it though and it's a great way to get into making music. Again hats off to you for actually making it and as a first shot it's very good Just look at it in the perspective that people watching the video don't know their way around the software like you do and I suppose it's the job of the tutorial to give them the same knowledge as you. Just out of interest how long have you been using FL Studio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest how long have you been using FL Studio? I understand what you're saying, and I'll definitely look into that for next time!. Yeah loads of people are downloading it now, it's quite cool! Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it. Coming up to 3 years now, this isn't even close to my best work. Some of my remixes are on my YouTube though if you're interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
