Get started making music with the popular one-stop shop for music production, FL Studio. Author Garrick Chow shows you how to set up your inputs and outputs and then moves straight into building drum tracks, layering in other instruments and samples, recording MIDI, and creating patterns with the program's step sequencer. He also covers the Playlist window, using it to combine patterns and arrange your song with pattern clips, as well as edit audio and automate volume. Finally, Garrick moves to the Mixer, where he demonstrates how to add plugins, set up signal routing for effects like EQ and reverb, and export your final files.
