Alternatively if I'm using a standard EQ and compressor, I'll send the signal in as loud as it needs to be without going into the red and then adjust the overall channel as necessary using the channel fader opposed to controlling the level via the sampler volume knob. ideal saturation) without pushing into the red. I mix with relative levels opposed to adhering to specified numbers, often dicated by the peak level on my drum buss (normally triggered by my kick).Īs an example if I'm using a set of effects that are analogue modelled or based on tape emulation I send the input in fairly hot as these types of plugins can tend to have a sweet spot where you get optimum performance (e.g. Your effects and style of mixing should dictate how loud to set the input, and many plugins have inbuilt level monitors and I/O gain controls to help you gain stage properly.
#Fl studio step sequencer how to
On the topic of how to set input level, I always go by the effects chain on the channel I'm sending the audio to, regardless of whether the sample is on the playlist or step sequencer and regardless of the true level of the sample. I apologize for asking what seemed to be a relevant question.
#Fl studio step sequencer professional
Well, if I'm going to help somebody using FL studio, I'm going to do it in a professional manner. It's always about how I shouldn't worry about it and should just move on.

I never get any real answers to any serious questions on production forums. I guess this is a question that needs to be addressed on the Image-Line forum. Also, I don't want to be sending the sample into the mixer hot. You want your inputs at 100% to avoid distortion. What you're doing is similar to turning your ipod volume down to 50% and then blasting the car stereo. Those little knobs on the mixer that you use for the send amount are defaulted to "80%" as well.īut it's all relative. The default on all the knobs that look like the ones on the step sequencer is "80%" since I have been using FL Studio. Word around the campfire is you get better resolution/accuracy from the faders in the mixer the less you turn them down.
