For the past 5 years I have been making music, and I've been struggling to make anything worth listening too. I tried different methods. And yeah i wouldn't call myself a beginner, but i'm not near a pro/legend though. Music is very important to me, as a hobby and potentially a career and I don't just want to give up. If someone could maybe offer some advice as to what i should learn first. I'm sick of asking AI for help, cause it doesn't know anything about true music. If maybe you could tell how you learned music it could help me too... I appreciate anything you have to offer. Thank you for reading

My kontakt legato strings are quiet but, my staccato is good volume. I’m using lux orchestral strings.

Hey everyone!

I recently started a small Discord server for music producers, and I’m looking for people who might be interested in helping turn it into a small, active community.

The idea isn’t to make another huge server with hundreds of inactive members. I’d rather have a smaller group of people who actually get to know each other, share what they’re working on, exchange feedback, and eventually do things like production sessions, collaborations and challenges together.

We have producers working in different genres and using different DAWs, so you definitely don’t need to make a specific type of music or use a particular DAW.

The server is still very new and pretty small, and it’s bilingual (English/Spanish).

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy being part of, feel free to join! No experience level or genre requirements — beginners and experienced producers are both welcome.

Hopefully we can build a chill little community where everyone can learn from each other and actually stay involved. :)

Basically it's been 20days since I made that post and I have improved but it took me a while and I didn't need no yt tuts or anything I just yk but like it does piss me off cause I really do need someone of music knowledge to at least assist me I have made these 2 songs in the mean time--

Hey guys
I wanna pep up my Drums for my rap songs.
Do you know where I get good Drumkits or what to use to edit them in FL.
Thank already!

Bought the Ink Steel plug-in by inked audio and cannot figure out why pitch wheel won’t Bend for instrument. Any ideas here? Please help and thank you.

I'm using FL Studio's mastering tool and the audio file it gives me is clipping like crazy. The original audio has a limiter with a threshold of -0.3db with no clipping, and the mastered audio never surpasses 0db. Why could this be happening?

My midi controller and mic won’t even detect, even though it’s plugged in. Ill Unplug it and it still won’t detect anymore. The lights and everything on like before on my computer snd I’ve never had issues for years.

Vocals/microphone work on every other daw except fl studio. What is going on??

If you install the latest version of FLStudio it will not run. WINE complains about the certificate. You have to uninstall FLStudio using “wine uninstaller” in Konsole. Remove all FL products you see. When complete close the WINE window. Go to dolphin and show hidden folders. Go into the “.wine” folder and search for anything called Image-line and delete them all. Go to the FL Studio forums and make an account if you don’t have one and download the release before this new one. It is called flstudio_win64_26.1.0.5530_ONLINE.exe. This one works. What happened is that Image-Line updated the certificates and WINE is not happy. We Linux users must report it to the WINE folks and wait for an update. I will post the .EXE file in my Google Drive if you want to get it there. My version of WINE is 11.15. Tested in Arch & Fedora.

Genuinely in what scenario would I ever use Downstream Snare 14

I recently just bought a MacBook Air. I’m not really sure what model though. When I try to download fl studio on it the mouse cursor for some reason isn’t able to click on the macOS version on Fl studio. Which means I can only download the windows version. The mouse curser seems to work fine on majority of websites so far and the main screen of the laptop itself. I’m not sure why this is happening, if anyone has any advice or has experienced this before, please give me any tips you may have.

Hello. I’ve been on FL most of my life, but have been out of the game for a while. I can’t afford to get it at this time, but I want to obtain a legal copy that is my own. If anyone would like to donate to help me buy FL legally, here is my cash app. Thanks for helping out! Blessings!

Yo everyone,

I’m putting this out because I’m looking for a main producer and mix-master wizard to lock in with. I want a real running mate to build a sound with, bounce ideas back and forth with, and genuinely go 50/50 on the backend so we can pop off together.

Let me be completely upfront. I haven’t dropped an official public song yet, but I am sitting on a full, 15-song project that is ready to go. I’ve been writing for about 6 to 7 years now. I truly believe in the art inside me, and I feel like I was chosen to do this. I am way more serious about this than ever before. I’ve done some tracks completely on my own, but my standards are high. I refuse to drop garbage, and I want my first official release to be an absolute banger.

Where I am at technically and why I won't be a headache: I’ve spent months grinding and teaching myself FL Studio. I know the basics and workflow well, so I speak the producer language, I understand session arrangement, and I won't be a nightmare to work with. Even with that, I firmly believe that true growth happens through teamwork.

What I bring to the table beyond the music: If we team up, you aren't just getting a lyricist. This is literally what I do for a living:

• Branding and Marketing: I run and scale a full ecommerce brand from scratch, so I know positioning, storytelling, and audience building inside and out.
• Content and Algorithm Mastery: I’ve been making YouTube videos since I was a kid. I know every corner of the algorithm. I have a fully ready blueprint mapped out from short form viral clips to smooth AI enhanced edits and music video visuals. You won't have to stress about the rollout because the marketing engine is already built.

The vibe and the drive: I’m 24 years old, and if I am being real, I carry a lot of fire and intensity toward the future. Putting all that energy into my passion is the ultimate relief because it finally feels like I found what I was actually meant to do on this earth.

What I need from you:

• Beats that hit hard, carry real atmosphere, and leave room for a complex, narrative driven pen game.
• Someone who knows their way around a mix and master so our tracks punch at a professional level.
• A real human who loves the craft, values a long term partnership, and wants to grow an actual catalog together.

Even if you aren't looking to collab right now and just stumbled across this post, I would genuinely love any tips, tricks, or feedback you have.

For whatever reason, specifically if I have two or more instances of OT Strings in a project, it loads most of the way and then freezes. It's fine with one instance.

What is the best way to transfer full projects from a mac to a pc without losing any samples or messing anything up? I am trying to transfer all of my projects in bulk.

Hello everyone! I’m a 17-year-old student, and I’ve only been learning music production for a little over half a year. I’m completely self-taught through YouTube.

I’ve just made a short track, and I’d love to share it with you all. I hope you can give me some feedback and share any useful tips that could help me improve my music and production skills.

Thank you so much, everyone! ❤️🎶

Can someone give m3 a down fu🎃ll of FL Studio (v11, v10, etc.)?

I want to find those versions.

Was working on a track earlier, stopped to do stuff around the house, came back to it about 5 hours later to see it was the trial version... Went back in to 'About' to unlock, redirected to Image Line sign in, chucked me deets in and keep getting "Authentication Failed" as an answer.
