This is great for those of us using FL Studio on a tablet or similar device. Allows for multi-touch control of Mixer parameters. Just select a Mixer track and choose a saved Mixer state in the FL Studio system folder. Rather than manually adding these each time you start a new project, you could just save and load the Mixer state! It could have Edison, EQ, compression, reverb or other effects in the signal chain (FX slots), all with different settings. Let’s say you want to make a mixer state for recording vocals or mastering. Mixer track states are like preset templates that we can load onto a Mixer track. We can also load and save mixer track states.
As we go through the list, I’ll talk about some of the more important features and how to use them.įrom here, we can access recording, plugin delay compensation, and view settings. In the picture below, I’ve labeled each button and area of the Mixer with a number. Next, let’s take a look at Mixer functionality and find out what all those buttons, knobs, sliders, and meters do.
The bottom of each Mixer insert track shows a send link that indicates where the signal exiting that track is going. FL Studio allows for up to 125 insert tracks, labeled 1-125. First, we have the Mixer insert tracks that receive the signal from the Channel rack or your audio interface. The Mixer itself is split into several sections.
Below you can see the inputs from my M-Track Plus audio interface listed in the menu. means the signal is sent directly to the Master track.Īt the top of the FX panel of each Mixer track, there is a drop down menu that allows you to bring in external signals from your audio interface. On the left side of each channel, there is a slot that tells FL Studio which Mixer track to send the signal to. Signals in FL Studio are internally generated in the Channel rack by either VST plugins or by samples and audio files. External signals are created by instruments like guitars or by your microphone. It all starts with an audio signal that is either generated internally within FL Studio or generated externally and enters FL Studio through your audio interface. Let’s get started! FL Studio Mixer Overview
In this tutorial, we’ll take a deep dive into the FL Studio Mixer and learn how to use it to mix like a pro. Sidechaining, bussing, equalization, compression, distortion, mastering, and a bunch of other signal processing operations are all done here as well. It’s basically a virtual mixing console where the audio signals internally generated by VST instruments and samples in the Channel rack get routed to, and where we add Effects plugins like reverb and delay to each signal.
The Mixer is one of FL Studio’s core components.
