A Beginners Guide To FL Studio Playlist




The Playlist is the place where all the individual elements of a musical piece are arranged into a complete song. The Playlist window (15) is comprised of multi-purpose 'Clip Tracks', these can host Patterns Clips, Audio Clips and Automation Clips.

I'll keep this part short as it's really simple. The playlist is where you sequence the complete track after you've made the individual patterns. I tend to add everything into the first two tracks, but if you're the type to have separate tracks for each instrument then you can always use more. You can stretch or shorten the blocks, if you want to cut a pattern off just drag it till it's the size you want it.

This is just a pic of the last beat I made, if you were using individual patterns for each instrument/drum component then your composition would probably look more hectic than mine, but I tend to keep it fairly straightforward.
