Automations in Fl

Post image
1 Upvotes

Title: Is there a way to automate an entire Mixer Track in FL Studio?
Hey everyone!
I was wondering if there’s a way to automate an entire Mixer Track in FL Studio, so that its volume gradually increases from 10% to 100%.
I don’t want to create separate automation clips for every single plugin in my mixer chain. Instead, I’d like to automate the whole Mixer Track at once, so all the plugins and effects on that track are affected together.
Is there a way to do this, or is there a specific feature in FL Studio that allows it?
Thanks in advance!

It’s for an intro by the way

Anyone use the FL Fire? Need more than 100 linkable knobs?

1 Upvotes

I am currently using a combination of the FL key 37 and FL fire, and I quite like it, but I found I wanted more linkable connection, so I messed with the python file using Gemini , and changed a bunch of stuff.

Step mode: no change

Note mode: gone, now dedicated slicex

Drum mode: this is where most of the changes went

one FPC mode (fpc center) but I made the 32 dead pads into individual transition switches, linkable to the volume pan mod and resonance knobs, this effectively creates 32 assignable knobs on the FPC Center drum mode, then there's a secondary mode to replace the slicex mode which is just four of those assignable pad sections so essentially another 64 knobs that are linkable, and then I rewrote the channel and mixer knob settings so that those are assignable giving a total of 112 assignable knobs on the FL fire while not losing any of its original usefulness

Performance mode: no change

I can share, with instructions on loading it and a bit of help to understand how it works in use, there isn't an instruction manual yet lol

I’m also having issues with my audio, every time i put in chords they don’t play or even have any sound. Is it possible bc im on my FREE version or is it just a glitch

FLStudio 2026 FLEX is AWFUL

20 Upvotes

Just updated to FL2026 and...
Did someone ask for this? I certainly didn't. The interface was great before, easy to navigate, everything was easy to find and absolutely no nonsense, now its covered in whatever this crap is?

What happened to "least amount of clicks" UI design? This bloats the interface, puts a ton of unnecessary artwork all over for no reason, and clutters up the workspace. I'm pissed - FLEX was awesome how it was, this was not a good update and whoever decided this change was necessary should be restricted from making decisions.

I'm a lifetime user who just recently updated to "all plugins" and if this is the kind of plugin updates we're going to get just refund my money.

Free Plugins that are good

0 Upvotes

Yo guys. i finna come back 2 producing. The thing is bro i done used all the free shit.

I dont know shit to sample rn. Dont find no cool loops. Only loops, where the melody is alr done but i dont like that shit. But theres no half done loops i can add my spice on. Lowkey feel like making the own Melody.

All free Vsts i already used dozens of times. I used to be good at making dark ronny j type of trap melodys with em. But even for that. They getting old bro. Like im tired of them. They give me beat block. I need something Fresh. I dont wanna crack plugins cause i dont wanna risk a virus.

Some LEGALLY FREE PLUGINS FOR GENERATION OR EFFECTS would be nice asf.

Id apreaciate. For my music. Im versatile asf. If its Rap Or Trap. Any Subgenre in that. I be doing and mixing with outside Rap or Trap genres doing shit thats not Rap or Trap at all. Like i be making boom bap to a spacey trap beat to a juice wlrd trap beat to a agressive and dark trap beat to a ronny j beat to some house shit to some edm shit to some ken carson shit. I think u know i dont follow rules.

Question about the current sale - 12 premium plugins query

Post image
2 Upvotes

A few days ago I was waiting to get paid to do my upgrade, however now I'm ready to buy it. When I do the upgrade option the "12 premium plugins" is not one of the things in the deal anymore that I saw a few days ago.

Does anyone know what these were and if they will be added back to the sale sometime this month?

Weird glitches and high CPU usage

6 Upvotes

Hey guys. I've been using flstudio for years and am pretty fluent in how it runs and operates. This has been happening to me on my projects for some time and it's workable, but is annoying me to no end. Anyone have any experience with this bug? Also in this example I only have a couple instruments running with a couple of filters and my CPU is completely bogged down. Any advice on how to fix that as well?
