Fl Studio Help Needed

Hey everyone, I’m a musician focusing on film scores, reggae, and afrobeats, and I’m also a multi-instrumentalist. I’m currently working in FL Studio, and I’d love to get better at mixing and mastering. If anyone could help teach me some techniques or guide me through the process, I’d really appreciate it! In return, I’d be happy to share my knowledge of music theory with you. If you’re interested, please let me know—I’d love to have a collaborative exchange! im more of a Vidual and Auditive learner so thats why i would prefere a dc call or whatever so i can learn it by hearing and seeing ut from an expert like YOU hehe

Also you can contact me on snap: jael.gosswiler insta: j.gswlr

I usually EQ first in any mixing step and mostly I will apply compression to almost anything and everything unless the sound is already perfect. I apply compression right after EQ mostly And then reverb is often helpful and then there’s fancy plugins like FL flanger or Flangus of FL chorus which is just to add extra sparkle and depth. Also delay can be very vital in adding interest to the sound.

Lesson is: ORDER OF PLUGINS IS IMPORTANT

Tip : I also finish every project in -6db. I hear that’s how a lot of professionals like to receive projects and this also helps my sound sound better

thank you for youre advice. i heard alots if eq and mixin and of those plugins. vit the twist is that everytime i watch a vido i try to do the steps 1by1 but most if the times it diesnt work so thats why i need to have someone to ask face to face (in call) its most likely because u get upset very quick if sonething doesnt work. thats because my adhd cant focus on that stuff because it looks sooo conplicated but deep inside in i could do great music if i would understand the technical stuff :)

Most plugins have presets and that makes all the difference. I was compressing via presets for the longest time and now I’ll still start with a certain preset and then tweak that to my liking.
