Guyz,

But it was all over my head . . .there are too much options in fruity loops for me to start.

Hi mate, i know FL Studio off the back of my hand so i can answer any questions you might have.

The manual is exactly what you need: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/

1. run the setup wizard to make sure it will perform as it should: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/app_wiz1.htm

2. the main interface. FL Studio relies on 'patterns', these patterns are what you use to build up your entire track, so for example, i would layout my patterns like so: (the channel window)

1. Kick Drum

2. Percussion

3. Melody

4. Bass

5. Pads (Strings)

6... essentially building up all the elements of the track you want to put together.

(Channel > Add One > Sampler /or <a soft synth of your choice>)

for single hits like sound loops, crashes, sound effects, vocals you add these with an audio track.

(Channel > Add One > Audio Clip)

The browser has lots of included samples and sounds, just browse through it and get familiar with it

you can find more on this here: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/basics_workflow.htm

You then want to assign each channel/pattern to a track on the FX MIXER:

http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/chansettings_main.htm

Press F9 to show or hide the mixer. from here you can add effects.

piano roll is also an important part: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/pianoroll.htm

sampler settings: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/chansettings_sampler.htm for changing the behaviour of samples

finally: the paylist (http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/playlist.htm) - when you have created all your patterns and added all the elements of your track you construct a playlist: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/playlist.htm where you put the song together

mixing: http://flstudio.image-line.com/help/html/mixer_index.htm
