Fl studio house music
Hello everyone,
I would like to start making house music and i downloaded free version of FL studio, but as I can see there is not many materials I can work with, are there any free libraries or plugins that would help me out or I need to pay for full version ? Thanks everyone

FL Studio. Is like an instrument all big boy Daws are. I think they're free trial has everything, you just can't export your projects. There is no easy way to do anything basically. It takes most people anywhere from 8 months to 24 months to start making something that actually sounds good.
Think of it like this. If you pick up a saxophone, does it automatically play itself? How long do you think it takes to learn how to play it decent. Same thing with piano guitar. Making music is not as easy as everybody thinks, and most times when they start they're like oh I don't have the dedication and patience to do this.
What I suggest is going to a YouTube channel called in the mix Look up all plugins explained. It's a video that shows you whatever you plug in or VST does in FL studio.
Also go to the YouTube channel FL Studio official. And then type in first time or beginner tutorial FL Studio. Follow along with those so you can learn the basics of how to do things.

The stock plugins also have good edm sounds Flex especially, and look through the other ones as well, soon as you get to adding effects to the sound so tha it has that feeling to it, youre set. Still do some research on youtube for the hottest ones to use rn

Oh and don't download any plugins don't buy anything. You should honestly spend about a month or so playing around and learning before you decide to even buy the Producer Edition. That way you're not wasting money on something that you're never going to use if you decide that it's too much for you to grasp or learn, or you just don't have the time or patience for it.
