Mixing seemed so hard until I stopped making it so and started developing my own "Real World" way of seeing it. I remember going through Tutorials after another and still couldn't get the sound I want. If you are new to Mixing or still can't figure out why your Mixes sounds like _ _ _, this Course will give you a 4D view and simplify your Mixing approach. Here it says "Track", which means the same as "Insert" in FL Studio.Īlternatively, you can select the instrument, then the Insert/Track in the mixer and use the shortcut CTRL + L, which I think is faster.Hey, my name is Sabelo 'Setro Beats' September, I'm a Music Producer - Mixing Engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa and I'm here to help you, my friend. Long time users won't care about this but how is any new user supposed to think this is reasonable? To make things worse, it says "Track" underneath this little box, and the tool tip says "Target mixer track". On the top right there is a little box in which you can click and drag to select the #number of the Insert to send this instrument to.

Activate your instrument by clicking on its name in the Channel Rack. Luckily, like most things in FL Studio, it's quick.

In FL Studio, you have to do this manually. This is unusual because most common DAW's automatically route to a new channel when you create a new track. In FL Studio, when you add an instrument to the channel rack it is always routed to the Master Insert/Output by default. In my example I built a Supersaw kind of sound that consists of 3 instruments. It's very useful if you want to work with layered sounds. You can apply the effect on the submix instead of each individual instrument. You can use this if you have a group of instruments to which you want to apply the same effect, like an EQ or a Reverb. Obviously this is bad for mixing so you need to take control manually.Ī submix is a group of signals bundled together into a single signal. So each instrument has a channel, which is routed to the Master-Insert/Output by default. You also have to know that in FL Studio, instruments are placed in a thing called the Channel rack.
