UPDATE: I was wrong about Blend Recording (03:41) - When FL updated to 20.9, grouping recorded tracks automatically was part of that update. Blend recording does NOT need to be on in order for tracks to be grouped. Everything else is correct though 🙂
Thanks for noticing my comment! I was watching a video that was talking about Brandy’s “Full Moon” album and how she had so many stacked vocals and the engineers mixed them well so you couldn’t tell and that’s how you make your vocals sound wide! How many stacks do you do for a verse and how do you mix and pan them on FL STUDIOS? Could you do a tutorial?
Hey guys how come when I exported my song as a mp3 but my song sounds muffled?? I did use a vocal preset on my vocals but can’t figure out how to master the track to make it sound good
Just stared yesterday bro invested 350 and got almost 900 worth equipment plus fl studio so here my journey starts of engineering my own music and I appreciate ya gems brotha 💎💎
Nice tutorial for the second week in a row u using the same samples from cymatics that I use I'm not expecting an copyright by u coz I made a song instead of a beat
I have to give a proper shout out to @cymatics for providing these fire samples..I'm not surprised that we use the same samples. It's easy to get inspired after listening to them. Aslo, we should be good on the copyright issues. None coming from me 🙏
Great tutorial! A perfect explanation broken down and easy to follow, even for a novice to learn from. Keep up the great work and cheers for the tips as I have never tried recording vocals into FL before, so thanks.
If you have a backing track, no need to keep the metronome on. It could actually hurt the performance, since you're timing will be influenced by the metronome, rather than just going with the vibe of the track that you're recording to.
If it ever is an issue of 'hurting your performance' its because the backing track isn't actually on tempo. Let's not push your preference of recording and influence people into how you think recording should be. For instance, going with the vibe' and being off the beat can also hurt the performance too lol. Like in instances where you have layered vocals and you want them to match in cadence; you might want to hear where the beat is like I sometimes like to. Especially on instrumentals where there is a lack of a downbeat, or where listening to it it is ambiguous where the beat is. You might want precision. Instead, record your vocals however way you prefer; have it on if you like it on and if you think it helps. Sometimes it doesn't. Your timing being influenced by the actual BPM of your song is fine in many situations. Also you can just move the vocals after to be the precision you prefer, or stretch the backing track to where the metronome being on isn't a hinderance.
@@Tanashee In 20+ years of recording, I've never once been in a session where the metronome is kept on once the instrumental/beat/backing track is laid down and ready for vocals. Typically it's turned off once the instrument that is used as the foundation of the tempo are laid (usually the drums). If the vocalist cannot stay on tempo with the actual beat, well then you have a whole other problem on your hands. Leaving the metronome on will be even more harmful if the beat is not intended to be quantized, or the backing track contains live elements. It's just not optimal, which is why you'll likely never see it left on in a professional session after the track is laid. But hey, if it works for you, do your thing.
The last sentence of your response should of been all that you said. Key words; 'You' never once been in a session. Or 'typically'. You also just watched someone record vocals with the metronome on and I don't think what we just watched was 'harmful. Lol. The great thing about music is there is not one right way to do something. Ex: What if the beat *is* intended to be quantized. Or you are an average MIDI using SoundCloud producer, the types who are probably clicking this video, who are using beats that can be synced to a BPM that have no live elements... lol oh look a reason to possibly have a metronome, cause it wont hurt. Some just like hearing the downbeats and such- like me, when I mentioned the layered vocals. In your example of live elements in the beat, well the issue there isn't the metronome- but the live elements, because of human error. Following the metronome in that *very specific scenario* could make you too precise. To me, however, you're using that one thing to justify it being 'harmful'. But let's talk about why human error is the root issue. I'd argue if the metronome is enough to 'harm' your session... how good are the performers, engineers and producers there? If a precise click messes up your 'vibe' so much so its harmful... well then *you have a whole other problem on your hands* , and it might be staying on tempo lol. I spent over 15 years in symphonic bands as a Clarinetist, so I say this with my own live performance background; It's possible for live elements to play precisely on a BPM (although most listeners wouldn't be able to tell if you were off the actual tempo at a concert; you are also looking at very talented players). Especially if the band has a conductor; which, is the metronome. And if those are the 'live elements' you are using to record vocals on, the metronome will not hurt. If the live elements are not on sync to a BPM... make them. Which goes into optimality; the reason why its not 'optimal' has little to do with the metronome, and the simple fact some 'Professional' musicians and singers feel where the beat is and go with the 'vibe'. And being precise isn't needed in music. But that's *some* , and if you don't want precision. that's a preference. And in terms of you not seeing it on in a 'professional setting'... you need context. If you are in a session with professional players who most likely have their own internal methods of feeling the beat and are very good at staying on beat... Why would the metronome ever be on? Do professional bike racers always need training wheels to go straight? With context, duh- it would be off. But maybe one time that bike racer is on a very wobbly path and needs help staying straight; maybe they want some stabilizers that one time lol. Getting/needing help is fine, which brings me to the final points. Some vocalists/musicians do need the aid of a click; instead of belittling that, just turn it on and help them. Ultimately, I wrote all this because claiming 'preference' as a standard I don't think is right because again, there is no right way in music, and in my opinion there isn't many instances where you are recording vocals with a click on I view as harmful that cannot just be *edited* to be fine. There's just better ways in certain situations for certain people. TL;DR - Do what you prefer, and edit in post lol
@@Tanashee I believe I was talking specifically about recording vocals in a DAW over a backing track. Not a live perfomance, nothing to do with a conductor of an orchestra, but go off lol. It’s okay for everyone to have their own way of doing things, but my sentiments remain the same that keeping a DAWs metronome on when recording vocals over a beat is suboptimal. There’s a reason why practically no one uses a metronome when there’s already a backing track, but hey, no need for another dissertation, record with a metronome if you want lol.
yoooo!!! u are the king man!!! im a beatmaker but now many friends want to record something at my homestudio and i never had an idea how to do it right. we had studio one long time but since i get better in beat making my friends want to take some beats that i did. and this is better in fl studio cause i do beats there. now i researched and found ur video who helped me alot! thanks for doing videos i will check out ur other content too! be blessed G
we can download the vocal chain....... The link is in description.........OMG. Never heard words aas beautiful as those ones before. Bro I dont know if I should send you money or simply send you some positive energy!! but thank you young man, may god bless you and your family
not my type of music you've produced, but i learn a lot from this vid and i love the way you explain, wish you all the best and thank you so much for making this vid, love ya dude!
Second video I’ve seen of yours.. Half way through I thought to myself, this is perfect for vocal comping then you mentioned it right after lol anyways I just subscribed to you, I’m pretty inexperienced with mixing and mastering but I got to the point where I can understand what’s being done in most videos now, there’s a vocal effect I want to learn how to do, it’s mostly delay and reverb but I can’t figure out how it’s done, do you take video request
Nice b! Great tut !!! I wasn’t sure and did everything my way which was a generous Mess! So thanks Key Wav keep teaching and I’ll keep following you b!
Hey Bro... Good job I really appreciate your tutorials thanks a bunch. Please I'd like to see audio editing, cutting, paste, fade in, fade out... You know what I mean, like you usually do in Nuendo, Seqouia. Thanks once more.
Very helpful . Can you show the best settings for vocals on a mixer and the proper set up for it for no latency. I have a behringer 1 mic input Mixer . And don't know if the Interface I have will take away from the quality of the Audio . I have a personas Audiobox two channel and a Solo M- Audio .
thanks for this, I have a suggestion could you make like a video and explain the essentials when recording an artist on fl becuase they be complaining the quality on logic pro x is better than fl. I tried recording an artist but then its like the vocals were to low and am tryna figure out on how to use on fl since i have the new fl and i wanna use it more. Your tutorials helped a lot
thanks alot man been trying to rec adlibs but fl records the main vocals as well the cloning works i hope been searching for a whole day now and finally routing basics is clear hope to learn more is there any side chaining tutorial what is that🤣😂
All is clear man. Appreciate your effort. You making my recording life way more easier! One question though. In your vocal processing slot do you use the stereo or mono versions of the plugins?
What's going on. I missing a step for the VOX set up. What plug in is needed. Also, are my grouped tracks sent to the same VOX track which goes to the master? Hit me up when you can. Thanks
For some reason I route my channel 1 to channel 2 which has the effects and after I finish recording it still shows its on channel 1 unlike before it would auto-assign to channel 2, big headache after hella takes it gets confusing
@BPM.030 yea the way he explained in the video is literally the new way, it’s a lot easier just confusin at first. Each track can be assigned to its own channel in the mixer
For some reason when i link the REC track to the LEAD VOX i dont hear my vocals and the effects dont work either it only works when i link it to the MASTER track. Can you explain why this is happening and how do i fix it?
when i double click the track i just recorded. it starts me at 100. so i have to scroll all the way down to the track that’s mixed. do you think you know what’s the problem ? also i have to manually press the little record button in the mixer each time i punch in. it should stay on but i have to manually turn it on every time. hope you can help with this because i haven’t found any help with it.

Also, "Blend recording" isn't what you use to avoid recording previous tracks.
That's what "External input only" is for (also a 20.9 feature).
got a telegram channel??
Hey guys how come when I exported my song as a mp3 but my song sounds muffled?? I did use a vocal preset on my vocals but can’t figure out how to master the track to make it sound good
Hopefully Keywav can help me out pretty please hopefully you can show us a video on CZcams ❤
You with me?? Let me know if you learned something in this tutorial 🙏👇
Download 2 Free FL Studio Vocal Presets here: go.keywav.io/2freeflps

One of the best at explaining videos on FL. At least for me... clear step by step not assuming the audience knows already. Great Job.
Best tutorials. No bs, just straight to the point, and easy to follow. Thank you!
I'm gonna be the biggest artist on earth by the end of the year 😤😤 🚀🚀🚀🚀
Im New FL studio , I almost gave on FL until came acroos a couple you make look very simple. Need more videos, Great job!
Nice video! Could you do a tutorial that shows how to correctly record vocal stacks or dubs and also show how correctly blend them as well?
bro this is THE video I needed in my life right now. Glad this exists. Thank you so much man, you give great vibes when you explain!
i learn every time whit yours videos (big up from belgium)
I've been using fl studio for quite some time and never knew this. Thank you for your tutorial
Just stared yesterday bro invested 350 and got almost 900 worth equipment plus fl studio so here my journey starts of engineering my own music and I appreciate ya gems brotha 💎💎
Been in bandlab since they came out 😢😂
Easy to understand as for us the beginners. Bro you doing great ,Dope.
Nice tutorial for the second week in a row u using the same samples from cymatics that I use I'm not expecting an copyright by u coz I made a song instead of a beat
I have to give a proper shout out to @cymatics for providing these fire samples..I'm not surprised that we use the same samples. It's easy to get inspired after listening to them. Aslo, we should be good on the copyright issues. None coming from me 🙏
OG Mate. Real helpful content, especially the dub record.
Happy to hear! Yeah blend recording makes things so much easier 🔥

Keep up the great work and cheers for the tips as I have never tried recording vocals into FL before, so thanks.

THANK YOU BRO FR
I need a video about leveling your vocals, if an artist gets to loud, on certain section of the recording
create an automation clip! super simple to do and you can level out the entire vocal by hand!
Clean vid man, Could you share how to vocal stack. Like lil peep?
Very helpful . Can you show the best settings for vocals on a mixer and the proper set up for it for no latency. I have a behringer 1 mic input Mixer . And don't know if the Interface I have will take away from the quality of the Audio . I have a personas Audiobox two channel and a Solo M- Audio .
Go to your audio settings and make sure the buffer length is at 128smp (3ms). That will help with latency issues!
tnx so much master im your fan here in the philippines
I'm telling you, the Neumann mics are amazing. Cool vid!
Dude, you had my cracking up when you did the adlibs lmao
You are the only person I want to teach me FL

Thanks very much, bro, I've learned a lot from you
I love it I really understood keep on bringing more bro
like some artist they want reverb and delay on their vocals when you record them and auto tune
All is clear man. Appreciate your effort. You making my recording life way more easier! One question though. In your vocal processing slot do you use the stereo or mono versions of the plugins?
Bro that was amazing... you're a good teacher..
THANK YOU BROTHA 🖤
Very Very helpful 👏 bro good-looking
Well explained...... Great job... Keep it up.. Appreciated
Can you hear the effects live in real time in your head phones like universal audio when your tracking through the microphone too the headphones
screwing up adlibs actually made this video much better
What's going on. I missing a step for the VOX set up. What plug in is needed. Also, are my grouped tracks sent to the same VOX track which goes to the master? Hit me up when you can. Thanks
You are the best sir..Respect
Hey I was wondering, why would you reroute your vocals to another track? What benefits does this have compared to just recording on a track?
This video is very well done!
You are the best!
But is it good to record with or without effects? Plus thanks for all your help
Thanks for explaining so good👍
For some reason I route my channel 1 to channel 2 which has the effects and after I finish recording it still shows its on channel 1 unlike before it would auto-assign to channel 2, big headache after hella takes it gets confusing
@BPM.030 yea the way he explained in the video is literally the new way, it’s a lot easier just confusin at first. Each track can be assigned to its own channel in the mixer
finally understand this
Hello,have you got a mastering chain for FL studio or a Mastering Template
I been recording for a while but I never understood recording vocals with effects on them already?
really good tutorial man thanks you
Thank you so much sir
❤❤ next open please show me how to put a bit on fruit loops record music
good video
I appreciate this yo
Happy to help! 🙏
This guy is such a W
For some reason when i link the REC track to the LEAD VOX i dont hear my vocals and the effects dont work either it only works when i link it to the MASTER track. Can you explain why this is happening and how do i fix it?
This Is Amazing!!! Big Thanks Bro!!!
Thank you so much! 🤍✨✨
Great info! 🔥🚀✨
when i double click the track i just recorded. it starts me at 100. so i have to scroll all the way down to the track that’s mixed. do you think you know what’s the problem ?
also i have to manually press the little record button in the mixer each time i punch in. it should stay on but i have to manually turn it on every time.
hope you can help with this because i haven’t found any help with it.
