FL Studio is one of the most powerful digital audio workstations (DAW) on the market today. This music software has come a long way since entering the market as “FruityLoops” at the turn of the century: It now has functions that can take your music project from a scratch track to a mastered mix, and even allows you to create visuals to accompany your audio.
This course is designed to take you through the basics of using FL Studio and show you what makes it unique from other DAWs out there. You will start by learning the primary windows and functions in FL Studio before practicing recording with audio and MIDI. Finally, we will broadly cover mixing and mastering a musical project. By the end of this course, you will be able to take your musical ideas from basic beginnings to a mastered final product.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
