Course Description
Are you a music maker, performer, composer, or aspiring songwriter looking to up your game? This is the place to start.
This course is all about mastering FL Studio 20 in a quick, straight-to-the-point way. We will dive in with some demo tracks by expert FL Studio producer and DJ Jacob Gundlach (and your co-instructor for this course), and pick them apart to see how they work, and how they were built. Jacob will then take you on a journey through the FL Studio 20 software in a way that shows what everything does, how it works, and (most importantly) how to make great music with it.
Throughout this course Jacob will make a track with you, side-by-side. The last two sections of the class are on Mixing and Mastering, and you will finish this class with a completed, mastered, radio-ready track.
Here is a list of some of the topics we will cover:
The Main FL Studio 20 Interface
Navigation in FL Studio: Finding things quickly and efficiently
Using Samples
The Drum Sequencer
Automation
Using MIDI Controllers
FL Studio's Built-In Instruments and Synthesizers

it is a very good course. like almost any online course on using a computer program it can be a little difficult at times to tell what the instructor is doing or clicking on. this is just kind of the nature of something like this, it is pretty much impossible for someone to explain every mouse click. googling things you're not getting is helpful here. but yes, this should be recommended.

This course was clear, instructive, and very easy to follow. I learned the essential basics of FL Studio along with several helpful techniques, and plugins that come with Fl Studio. Jacob did a good job explaining the many features of FL Studio step-by-step, making the lessons accessible - even for beginner like myself. A solid introduction to producing with FL Studio

Great course, just finished another screenplay and needed to make a soundtrack, this course helped me to do that soundtrack on YouTube> juliano angeliano
By Joseph Baines on 2/11/2022
Started right at the Mixing & Mastering videos, as it's a skill I haven't learned yet as a producer. As someone with various issues that make learning a difficult process, I am able to clearly understand each concept the teacher reviews with no problems. This is essential knowledge I had no clue I was missing, and the pace that you teach at is perfect for me.
By Glenn Blackley on 1/4/2022
I have picked up a lot of stuff that I have missed - and very helpful in helping correct some bad habits I have developed in using FL over the years
By Chad Roberge on 12/4/2021
Lots of very helpful information, and this is coming from someone who has little to zero knowledge of music production. The only complaint I have so far is that I would have appreciated a sample track to follow along with during the Mixing and Mastering section. Hands-on practice really helps, but I'll get my hands dirty on my own tracks anyway!
By Mattia Ventura on 10/31/2021
An excellent introductory course for a beginner that doesn't have a lot of time to try around and find things by himself
