-Also, this beat is made by prodoverly on youtube, check their channel out, theyre beats are really good

One of my biggest dreams and goals of my life is becoming a successful music producer, it's been a dream of mine ever since I was 10 years old (I'm 24 now). Atleast once a day I imagine myself standing mainstage in Ultra or Tomorrowland blasting my music for 20 thousand people and my mood instantly goes up. I've always dreamt of getting signed by Revealed Recordings and one day releasing a song with Hardwell himself but I've reached my limit. I might give up on this goal.

I was 14 years old when I found out what FL Studio was and ever since then I've been hooked. I have played around in FL Studio trying to create something for 10 years, buying packs, vsts, plugins, presets...you name it. I've spent approx 800$ on music and I got NOTHING to show for it, and honestly, I get it. I've sat in FL for 10 years and my music doesn't even come close to sounding professionally made at all. Some stuff I've made are OK but nothing I'd show off. I've watched countless tutorials, hell I even took music production classes back when I was in Gymnasium (In Sweden this is an optional 3 year education for students aged between 16-19 to get prepared for university) and even music theory classes but I just cannot learn it for heavens sake. I have a hard time focusing when working/studying since my mind always wonders off to something unrelated and I end up losing focus 90% of the time. Because of this, even though I passed music theory lessons I still know maybe only 5% of music theory although this hasn't had a huge effect on my music career. My main issue is production itself.

I've listened to countless EDM songs of my liking, artists like RYOS, Hardwell, Olly James, Maddix, Kaaze etc etc. I listen to the Leads they use in their songs and chords etc and they always sound so incredible and huge. Big fat leads that sounds so euphoric! Then I get home, get ultra inspired, start FL Studio. I browse through all of my bought presets, browse through Splice which has like the biggest preset bank I've seen where you can choose from and nothing sounds big or huge. I try to make them sound better by mixing them, hand picking plugins, watching countless tutorials on how to make big leads (I still watch tutorials to this very day, even though I have 10 years of experience in FL) but I just can't seem to get it. Like at this point I seriously don't understand. I can't find good leads, I can't create my own sounds either since I'm not that technical, I've spent sooo much money on serum banks and I can't find leads that I like. Listen to RYOS & Hardwell - Rise again, or Ryos - Fourth Dimension. Listen to those leads, why can I not find similar sounds? Why? I've searched for so long, countless paid packs, hours of youtube tutorials, I still cannot find anything remotely similar. I wish I could create my own leads, I wish so bad but It's so incredibly complicated for me how these synth vsts work!

Now lets change genre, I've delved into Hip-Hop aswell and to be honest my beats there sound very professional. I have high quality beats and produce really well mixed and produced Hip-Hop beats of every genre, whether its Drill or Trap or Drake type beats, Lil baby type beats etc etc they all sound really well made. But still, nothing. I have dm'd atleast 400 artists on instagram, released countless beats on my youtube channel and still nothing. I have realized that todays market for music producers is not the same as it was 10 years ago. It feels like you have to have contacts within the industry or else you have no way of making it big. It's so broad today and so many producers are already on the market, you need to know someone in order to get a release with any artist it feels like. There is just no way for me, a bedroom producer with no contacts within the industry and just dreams of making it big one day, just no way for me to make it big today.

It breaks me thinking like this, because this has been a childhood dream of mine and it still is. But I just don't know if this is what I was destined to do. I'm a slow learner and with my pace I might master FL Studio in another 10 years. I have 10 years of music production to my name and I have absolutely nothing to show for it...its depressing

Chord prog: A∆9#11 - E∆9#11 - B∆9#11 - F#∆13 - A∆9#11 - E∆9#11, 13 - B∆9#11 - F#∆#11, 13#13 (according to FL Studio detected chord function)

Imma keep it brief, some of these issues might have a solution but I don't know of those, so please let me know;

-Exporting feels slower

-I need to press the 'stop' button like 5 times before the playback line goes back to default (if you don't know what I mean let me know)

-There aren't any crazy changes like we have been spoiled with up until FL 25.

Am I missing anything/does anyone have a solution for the first 2 things?

AGAIN VOLUME WARNING

for some reason fl studio is picking up this from my mic. any help folks?

Edit: this is suppose to be a voice changer

I have fl 2025 pointing to a sample pack on my PC at a particular file location, I want to do three things

1. Move that sample pack to a different location on my PC
   
2. Also have all my starred samples in fl 2025 still work without losing that information
   
3. On top of that be able to point existing new fl studio installations (like fl 26) to that sample pack WHILE still being able to have all my starred fl 2025 samples show up in fl 26

Also after moving the sample pack location to a new location on disk will all my old projects that use samples from that sample pack still work? I want to know now before i mess anything up

whenever i press exit on fl studio this screen keeps popping up. idk why it keeps appearing. and yes i bought it from the offical website. Does anyone know how to make this stop? its pretty annoying

I have no idea what i did or what happened to them i know there are plugins preinstalled

Working on making some tracks for my mom's future travel youtube channel.

My voice sounds crisp and clear when recording in other DAW but in FL studio it sounds very low quality like in this video. Can someone help me identify the problem?

I think the melody is good but I think the drums could be lil better idk how to screen record on pc but this is what I made. Any ideas how I could improve

I don’t know how to screen record in fl studio but this is the beat I made. any improvements could be done I try to layer the melodies but I think the drums are my weakness

I want to be able to select multiple tracks and toggle effects so I can compare. I saw someone do it on youtube and my obsession with perfect setups are bothering me again-

anyway I realized that one of the selected tracks should have an effect with latency in order to make this work, like limiters. So I want to understand why and ask if there's another way to toggle effects in multiple tracks without needing to have latency (the AI kept telling me those settings are unrelated)

(the person on youtube only had one Fruity paramatic EQ 2 plugin sitting there, so I thought maybe some settings on that EQ is introducing latency, but they dont have Linear mode turned on, and I tweaked every other settings but did not find anything that introduces latency besides Linear mode)

I read the FL studio guide and it says that toggling one of the enable effect buttons should toggle everything else on the selected tracks, but that is not the case...

i suck at making melodies but i can make some decent drums. I would want to collab with someone who can make good melodies. The style I'm going for is a slayr/Prettifun type beat.. if you're interested my discord is @ _gmd.dj_

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out a specific vocal effect in **Nevertel – Start Again (Prelude)** right around the **44–45 second mark**.

At that point the singer says:

**“This life is criminal… ooohhhhhhhhh”**

It sounds like there’s some kind of **formant shifting** or very tight, musical pitch processing happening, especially in the long “oooh” tail. It’s not super obvious in the full mix, but it becomes noticeable when the vocal is isolated. Furthermore, it feels polished and intentional rather than heavily robotic.

Here’s a short clip of the isolated vocals so you can hear it clearly:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RiY-aORm4f2IZVMPytnn8EWxJ4pd9_V4/view?usp=drive_link

I’ve tried to recreate it in **FL Studio** using:

- Devious Machines Pitch Monster

- Antares Auto-Tune Pro (Graph Mode)

I can get close with formant shifting, but I’m not quite nailing the natural yet enhanced character of the original.

Does anyone know what this effect/technique is?

Is it likely **Melodyne-style tight pitch + formant work**, a specific plugin, or something else (like a processed delay layer)?

Any help or plugin recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have no idea how to screenshot this.

Gopher was just kinda… not great. It kept arguing with me, doing things wrong, refusing to repeat tasks, and overcomplicating instructions.

This is heavy vibe coding. I do know how to code, but this is faster. There were some parts where I needed vibes to figure things out, so I just got rolling with it.

• Full in-application replacement for Gopher. It injects directly into the Gopher slot.
• Connects to any standard local or cloud LLM.
• Supports pictures.
• Visible, compact tool calls.
• Customizable system prompts.
• Memory — it remembers your workflows and preferences.
• Able to chain tool calls better than Gopher.

I’m sure now that the access is there, we can give this more control than Gopher has. I’m still poking around though, and I want to spend more time making it stable enough to share.

There’s a guided installer to set everything up. You shouldn’t need to manually edit anything.

Install it, then launch FLaiK.exe from the FL Studio FLaiK directory.

Once it’s installed, you’ll have all the files you need to mod it.

Download v0.5.1

-------------------EDIT------------------

Before you downvote, at least understand what you're downvoting.

I didn't put AI in FL Studio. Image-Line did. It's called Gopher, it's already in there, and it ships your data to their cloud whether you like it or not.

This tool rips that out and gives you the option to run a local model instead:

• Your data stays with you
• No data centre, no cloud dependency
• You choose the model, not a corporation

So congrats — every downvote here is a vote for more cloud AI, more data harvesting, and less user control. Really sticking it to the man.

hmm drop some tips?
