If I feel I need some final processing of my sound before it blasts through the loudspeakers, I insert effects in the Master mixer track. However, I usually start with routing my channels to individual Insert tracks and take it from there.

You can 1) insert effects in the Master mixer track (all audio passes through this track) and/or 2) you can route channels to a specific Insert track and insert your effects in that Insert track (in the FX slots). If you want to apply effects to your sounds in FL Studio you have a number of options.

I’ll now go for a more ‘user friendly’ approach. Indeed, it is, but I’ve inserted it here for reference purpose, so have a look at it but don’t stress about it. Wow, that’s a lot for such a small window. With the above illustration in mind, let’s have a look at the actual Mixer view. We will see a bit later that you can actually route the output of one insert track to another track (which is then called a send track).īut let’s not make things too complicated at first. Also, you can insert effects in the so called master track – those effects will be aplied to all audio in FL Studio before final output (coming from insert tracks and directly from the channels, as illustrated above). How we do that I will show you later, but once you have routed a channel to the Mixer you can insert up to eight effects per track. You can route your channels to a mixer track (a so called insert track). So after reading this tutorial you should be well on your way. However, I will explain the basic (not all) Mixer features to you (using some common effects).

I will leave that for some other tutorials (easy excuse I know…). Now, I won’t do an in-depth discussion of effects in this tutorial nor will I teach you the fine art of mixing. Understanding the Mixer – and more importantly understanding effects - is paramount to creating professional sounds and compositions. It is an extremely important feature of FL Studio. In short, the FL Studio Mixer is the place where you can apply effects to the sounds from your channels.
