User Guide

IMPORTANT REMARK: This guide is a general Getting Started guide for all existing FL Studio Editions. Some features however,

are not available in some editions. The FL Studio Fruityloops Edition doesn’t have the Track Adjustments & Mixer sliders

capabilities. Please check our site

www.flstudio.com for upgrade conditions.

One great addition to FL Studio Producer Edition is the new Mixer window (previously called Effects

Tracks window). You can mix up more than 69 tracks and even make links between them to create

complex mixing chains… But wait, let’s start from the very beginning.

The Mixer window’s best feature is that you can add cool effects to your channels. The effects you can add

range from simple things like a volume control to more advanced effects such as chorus, reverb, phaser,

delay, flange, and EQ among others (you can also add generators, notebooks, controllers, monitors and all

kinds of other goodies here too). Remember when we told you to change the FX Track in the TS404

Channel Settings? Well now we're gonna explain what that was all about.

1. Open the Mixer Window. Guess what? The GettingStarted Loops were using Mixer Effects all

along! Load up one of them and bring up the Mixer screen by pressing F9 or by going to View >

Mixer. You'll get a window like the one below…

2. What You're Lookin' At. Along the top are the FX Tracks. You have one Master Track, 64

Regular Tracks, and 4 Send Tracks. The wheel with the slider below each track is their volume and

stereo balance control (just like on a real mixer pult!).

The insert tracks are displayed 16 at once, but you can switch which 16 tracks you see (click and

A/B/C/D switches at the top of the window). The Master Track is selected by default. Each track has

room for eight FX Plugins. The Getting Started Loops use the Fruity 7 Band EQ plugin in the Master

Track, and the Fruity Delay and Fruity Reverb plugins in Track 2. Try changing the track to find the

other plugins.
