    I've been watching other, more complex tutorial videos, and they just make my eyes glaze over. I have no clue what they're talking about. Thanks for doing just a short lesson with concrete examples. Before watching this, I didn't even know where to begin, but now I know how to start making compositions a reality.

    @DrShankums  Před 7 lety +20

    I still get surprised at how many views and comments I find on this video. I have decided the direction of the series I would like to start. I'll be needing to build a new pc and get a few pieces of equipment together before I can start, but ill be going in depth into music theory and how to create your own original music and how to apply that knowledge to fl studio. Please continue learning on your own if it really interested you. I have every intention of making content, I just have to find the time and funds to get back to it. I hope to have more videos started in the coming months. I appreciate everyone patience.

    • @MrJohnny4286
      @MrJohnny4286 Před 7 lety +5

      I don't usually comment, but I think this one is worth it.
      The roller coaster of emotions you've put me through tho. First, I found this tutorial, and I was very surprised and delighted to see such a great tutorial. Second, my happiness was ruined when I clicked on your channel and saw that this is your only tutorial, and then finally when I scrolled down the comments to see you are still active and have plans for doing something new, anyway, that's all I wanted to say haha
      I wish you all the best with that direction of series, building your pc and getting new equipment. You have a new fan who cant wait for that series to start :)

    By far the best tutorial for new F! Studio users . It can be very tricky to get started on FL Studio if you have never used software of this type before . I myself have saved hours of wasted time just by viewing this video a couple of times . Well done DrShankums keep up the great work , cheers Paul

  • @aharonkreiter1833
    @aharonkreiter1833 Před 9 lety

    Nice work, DrShankums! I loved the tutorial, and it helped me out much more than any other beginner tuts. Not too basic, but still brushing on all the basic details.

  • @DrShankums
    @DrShankums  Před 9 lety +81

    Hey everyone, I'm back from the dead! Finally got a hold of a new pc, so I can finally get back to making videos again! It's been a minute since I've used flight studio, I'm currently in the process of brushing up on the program. If you have ideas for the next tutorial, I'd love to hear them. I think I may focus on live instrument recording with flowers studio next, what do you think?
    In my off time I'm usually busy working with Open Sign Productions and horror hive making awesome videos, like our let's slay series. Check out one of my favorite episode, Queitly Sharting LETS SLAY- OUTLAST - Part 6 - Quietly Sharting :-/: czcams.com/video/t7XZ9CwMjSE/video.html

    • @solodark5646
      @solodark5646 Před 9 lety +3

      You need to use the piano roll instead of the beat-pad. click on it, click piano roll.

  • @Flashyfox2001

  • @JamEZmusic86
    @JamEZmusic86 Před 10 lety +1

    4:40, I use the scrub wheel a lot for working out music by ear, if you have the original song in the background playing and are trying to work out the piano roll notes over the top of it, there is a lot of stopping and starting, the scrub wheel is great because it lets you stay on the piano roll screen without having to click on the playlist to check what you have done so far. Great tool for people like me.
    Nice video by the way. Easy to watch.

I just found your video by accident, cause I was looking for how to extract vocals from songs. :P But, well, It's a nice vid and I just wanted to show you my appreciation about that. I think It's cool you uploaded this, so that new 'artists' can learn how to work with FL Studio. So again, nice vid. :)

    I wanna steal this beat and melody, it is stuck in my head now... LoL... I love the way you explain things... it made sense to me... I have been trying to understand FL Studio for so long since I have tons of lyrics and finally wanna create beats for it. I am excited but I know I will still need time... Thank you this was great!!
