Help a newbie?

[chilly pagoda]

Hi, I'm new to FL studio and I need some help to get started. Everything's way too complicated for me 😭 I've already tried watrching youtube videos but I feel like it would be easier and more efficient to have someone personally answer my questions.. I'd be happy to pay for the hours/lessons!!

See yt tutorials that explain the fundamentals

[half current]

true I'm also new

[chilly pagoda]

i mean the reason why i made this post is precisely because i dont want to watch those yt tutorials..

[granite cloud]

But yt tutorials are the best way to learn

And fl has so many things

A single guy explaining cant go through everything

U need to discover by the videos and by yourself

[chilly pagoda]

That’s why if I have questions it would be easier to ask the person directly no?

[thorny karma]

The thing is, FL studio, and Music Production in general is a complicated topic. There is a incredible amount of variables, and new things to learn. That is why your best bet is to use all the resources available to you. Start with videos. Don't understand something? Look it up. Still confused? Ask in #❔◾questions .

I can understand wanting a coach, but there seems to be a short supply of those around.

From time to time, Panda does some free lessons, or at least has in the past. You can always be on the lookout for that.

[chilly pagoda]

tysm! who is panda? does this person announce their free lessons or is there a way i can contact them?

[thorny karma]

I'm not sure if he announces it really, and it's been a while since he's done any iirc. But panda is another one of the mods here. One of the more active members in #❔◾questions . Couldn't hurt to ask if he plans on doing any soon or whatever.

[chilly pagoda]

thank you so much ily 🙏

[thorny karma]

Np, it's worth mentioning there is plenty of people here who love to help, including myself. Just ask in #❔◾questions if you need anything. :)

[chilly pagoda]

by the way, do you think it might be helpful to maybe try produce something with someone else who has experience? i feel like it would be fun and helpful so i thought about maybe looking for someone whos up forthat
