Post #2: "The Basics" - (February 2nd, 2017)

Today, i began my producing process by learning some of the basics of FLStudios:

First off is the Channel Rack. It works by assigning different sound files to the "Rack". From there you can place them in whichever order you see fit. Naturally, you would want to order them in a way that stays in harmony with your desired rhythm/beat. It's important that you have a good ear for how to mix certain elements such as Kicks, Claps, Hats, Snares, etc...

Once you've created a pattern your content with, the next step is to carry over those patterns onto the Playlist. From there, you can order the individual patterns in whatever order best fits the idea your going for. The playlist is more-or-less the center of the program, and is where your song really comes together.
