Being able to take audio files, decode the transients and pitch data, and then convert this data to MIDI is a super handy feature. And this can be done in FL Studio. For example you could browse through your audio drum loops pull them into FL Studio, extract the note data and then use this converted MIDI pattern with another drum instrument in your song. Or maybe you want to record your song ideas down singing/humming them into a microphone. Then you can convert these audio ideas to MIDI and assign them to other instruments. Let’s take a look at how this is done.
While editing audio is much more flexible than ever before, converting audio into MIDI can add another level to our ability to change a recording. Gary Hiebner shows how to do this in FL Studio.
Step 1 - Adding Audio into Edison
First add Edison to an FL slot in the mixer (use F9 to bring up the Mixer if it is not showing). Double-click it to bring up its user interface. Drag and drop an audio file into Edison’s waveform editor.
Now go to the Step Sequencer (use F6 to open the window if it’s not already open), and add an instrument via the Channels menu. I’m going to add an instance of the FL Keys.
Step 2 - Convert Using the Tools Menu
Now jump back to Edison, and go to the Tools menu (the icon for the menu item is a wrench), then choose ‘Convert to Score and Dump to Piano Roll’ under the Analysis submenu. Go back to the Step Sequencer window and notice how FL Studio has placed a pattern in the channel with the instrument.
Step 3 - View Your MIDI in the Piano Roll.
Open this pattern up in the Piano Roll and see how Edison has converted your audio to a MIDI event with different note lengths, pitch data and velocities. You can go in and edit this MIDI data if you want.
Step 4 - Recording in Audio and Converting It
Alternatively you can record in audio ideas into Edison, and then convert these to MIDI. First make sure you have set up the correct audio input in Mixer. Choose your input on the input source on the mixer.
Then go into Edison, and make sure you have ‘On Input’ enabled.
Then click the Record button and Edison will record in the external audio input. Hum or sing in an idea, and when you have finished hit the stop button. You can playback the audio to check it recorded the idea correctly.
Now do the same steps as mentioned earlier, go to the Tools menu and choose ‘Convert to score and dump to piano roll’
I have assigned this to a synth instrument. So instead of trying to play in my synths parts, I can hum in the ideas and then convert then to MIDI. How neat is that?
Step 5 - Conclusion
That’s how easy it is to convert your audio files to MIDI. You can take rough audio sketch ideas, convert them to MIDI and then assign them to some of FL Studio’s awesome instruments. Or you can use your collection of audio loops, convert them to MIDI and assign the MIDI to new instruments. This really gives you extra songwriting flexibility.

Mastering is the last step in producing a vocal track. The mastering process involves shaping the vocal's sound using a series, or 'chain,' of audio effects. A typical mastering chain consists of a linear phase equalizer, which alters the vocal's frequencies, a compressor, which smooths out changes in the vocal's volume, and a de-esser, which removes harsh sibilance from the recording. Crusader kings 2 workshop. Use the FL Studio digital audio workstation's built-in audio effect plug-ins to set up a mastering chain for a vocal that you've recorded.
Launch FL Studio and open the vocal track that you want to master. Click 'View,' then click 'Mixer' to open FL Studio's mixer. Click the 'Master' channel.
Click the down-arrow icon next to the effect slot labeled '1.' Select 'Fruity Convolver.' Click the down-arrow icon again and select 'Presets,' then click 'Linear Phase EQ (Short Latency).'
Click 'Equalizer' in the Convolver window, then click and drag inside the equalization window to adjust the parameters as desired. The higher you set a given point on the equalization curve, the louder that frequency is. Adjust the equalization curve so that the equalizer highlights desirable frequencies in the vocal and removes unwanted sounds.
Switch back to the FL Studio mixer window. Click the down-arrow icon in the second effects slot. Select 'Fruity Compressor.'
Set the 'Ratio' knob in the Compressor window to approximately '4:1.' Turn the 'Attack' knob to '10.' Set the 'Release' knob to around '200.' Turn the 'Type' knob to 'Soft.'
Start playing the vocal. Turn the 'Threshold' knob in the Compressor window to the left and turn the 'Gain' knob to the right. Adjust these two controls until the vocal sounds smooth and full.
Return to the mixer window and add the 'Maximus' effect to the third master effect slot. Open Maximus' 'Presets' menu and select 'De-Esser (Split Band).' This effect reduces hissing, noise and over-emphatic 'ess' sounds in the vocal.
Open the 'File' menu. Select 'Export,' choose an audio format, type a name for the vocal and press 'Enter.' You can now import the mastered vocal into a project.

In Visual Studio 2012, open the Options dialog (Tools ->Options). Under Environment ->General, the first setting is 'Color theme.' You can use this to switch between Light and Dark.
The shell theme is distinct from the editor theme--you can use any editor fonts and colors settings with either shell theme.
There is also a Color Theme Editor extension that can be used to create new themes.

Although FL Studio has a deserved reputation for being an application that beginners can pick and start making music with quickly, experienced users will tell you that it can also be a deep and involving beast.
So, MusicRadar has put together this collection of tips that takes you below the surface and deals with some FL Studio features that you might not be familiar with, but once mastered will speed up and improve your workflow.
The secret volume control
A channel's volume can be automated in the piano roll by right-clicking the grey box under the keyboard and selecting Channel volume. This is useful for adding tremolo and subtle variations in levels, which isn't easily doable using note velocities. It's also great for adding an organic feel to a phrase. A consequence of automating the volume in this way, though, is that it adjusts the channel's Volume knob in the step sequencer, which can be an issue when mixing. A good fix is to use the Volume Multiplier knob in the Misc tab of the Channel Settings window to set the level before it gets to the Mixer.
Split and merge patterns
Patterns that contain notes on multiple channels can be split by channel, making it easy to build variations on a single pattern without having to clone it and edit the piano roll for each one. In the step sequencer, click the pattern selector and select Split by channel on the right. All of the notes and automation for each channel will appear in new patterns, named after each channel, stacked on top of each other in the Playlist. Patterns can be merged by selecting them in the Playlist and clicking Edit»Merge pattern clips in the Playlist options. Only the selected patterns will be merged - other instances of the selected patterns will stay as they are.
Dumping the score log
How often do you find yourself playing something really awesome on your MIDI controller and wishing you'd had Record engaged (or a better memory)? Even when not recording, FL Studio remembers all of the incoming MIDI notes from the last five minutes or so. To get that great riff back, go into an empty pattern and select Dump score log to selected channel from the Tools menu. Those MIDI notes will magically appear!
Set snapshots in the Browser
The Browser can be organised by snapshots - specific locations accessible via number keys 1 to 5. To set up a snapshot, navigate to the location in the Browser that you want easy access to and click the Current Snapshot dropdown menu, next to the Browser label. Choose the number key you want to associate with this location and click that snapshot. You can also rename and freeze the snapshot. When you want to navigate to that location in the Browser, press the associated number key while the Browser is in focus.
![]() Scale automation clips
Automation clips can have their minimum and maximum values scaled, enabling you to edit the depth of the automation without going through and tweaking each point in the clip. In the Channel Settings window of the automation clip, the MIN and MAX knobs at the top will adjust the range of the automation clip. To the right of these knobs, the Timestretch knob can be used to adjust the clip's timing and length.
Scale note properties
In the piano roll, the velocity levels or other parameters of the currently selected notes can be scaled by pressing Alt+X. This affords you a lot of flexibility when it comes to adjusting note properties and can be very useful when a number of notes are too loud or too soft and you want to make them fit better without sacrificing their relative levels.
Zoom in closerFl Studio 12 Theme
To set the resolution of FL Studio's sequencer, select the project's General settings from the main Options menu and change the Timebase (PPQ) value. Higher values will enable you to zoom in closer on notes and draw smaller ones more accurately, as well as being able to adjust the start and end points of the notes to a finer resolution.
Slice up pattern clips
Pattern clips in the Playlist can be sliced and rearranged. Using the Slicer tool (C), click and drag across a clip, or hold Shift and click to slice without dragging. The new sections of the clip can be moved around as you see fit. Be careful when slicing a pattern: any notes that start before the slice will be omitted from the resulting piece. The slip tool (S) can come in handy for remedying this.
Metronome customisation
To change the level of the metronome and the audio preview in the Browser, go into the Audio Settings window - which is accessed from the Options menu - and select a Mixer track with the Preview Mixer track selector. Now you can stay on beat to the sound of a less annoying tone.
Smooth event editing
To quickly edit events smoothly in the piano roll or the event editor, enable Auto smoothing in the piano roll's Options menu and edit the events with the pencil tool. Then set Snap to Step and draw in your automation. Once that's done, FL Studio will make the events smooth and rounded, rather than jerky and broken.
Snap to events
At the bottom of the Snap to grid menu in both the piano roll and the Playlist is the Snap to events option. With this enabled, notes and clips won't snap to anything except the start and end points of pre-existing notes or clips. When the note or clip is at a point at which it will snap to another one, the other notes or clips will be coloured purple. This can be useful when you want to add notes to a phrase that isn't strictly quantised without them overlapping, or when slicing audio in the Playlist.
