In this guide, we will show you how to edit audio in FL Studio. You\u2019ll learn how to perform basic edits such as slicing and creating fades, as well as using the Edison and Slicex plug-ins for more advanced editing. Follow the sections below to get started.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the type of track you\u2019re editing, clips can be sliced a few ways. If working with a Pattern clip, you can use the Slice <\/em>tool. If you have an audio track, you can use either the Slice<\/em> tool or the Chop <\/em>function. While the Edison<\/strong> and Slicex<\/strong> plug-ins can also be used, the Slice <\/em>and Chop <\/em>options are best used for basic editing purposes. Slice tool<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using the Slice <\/em>tool is easy. All you need to do is click the Razor <\/strong>icon located in the Playlist <\/strong>window, then click and drag the tool down to slice the clip. If you click and drag over multiple tracks, all tracks will be sliced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chop tool<\/p>\n\n\n\n To slice beats, you will use the Chop <\/em>function. FL Studio will detect the transients and split the clip into individual beats. There are additional options available where it will slice the clip and reorder them randomly. Using this is great if you want to use an individual sample from a drum loop, or if you want to get creative with a beat. You can create fades on tracks<\/a>, as well as individual clips<\/a>. You can even create crossfades<\/a> between tracks. To do so, you must create an Automation Clip<\/em>. Once the Automation Clip <\/em>is created, you can draw the fade and add points for a smoother transition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP: <\/strong>The large points on the automation clip allow you to adjust the length of the fade. The small points allow you to adjust the curve of the fade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a fade on a track<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating a fade on a track will affect the entire channel volume. This is the best option if you want to apply a fade on an entire track. For example, if you want an audio track to fade out completely, creating a fade on the track is an excellent way to do it. Create a fade on a clip<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating a fade on an individual clip is useful if you have a single sample loaded and don\u2019t wish to adjust the entire track. For example, if you have a sliced drum loop and want to adjust the fade on a particular beat particular hit, you can apply it directly to that individual clip. Create a crossfade<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you create a crossfade, a single volume Automation Clip <\/em>is created between the overlapping tracks you selected. Once created, you can then move the Automation Clip<\/em> to adjust the length and position of where the crossfade is added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP: <\/strong>While an individual Automation Clip <\/em>is created, the fade is linked to both tracks. This means adjusting one point will have inverse effects on both tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you quantize, FL Studio snaps each step\/transient to the closest gridline on the piano roll. There are a few options available when it comes to quantizing. You can quantize an existing track using the Quantize Panel<\/em>, <\/em>or you can enable Input Quantize<\/strong>, which means that the notes you play will automatically quantize while recording. Where the notes will snap to is dependent on what the global Snap value <\/em>is set. Quantize existing track<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve imported or need to fine-tune a MIDI track that\u2019s a little off time, you can quantize the entire track or individual notes using the Quantize function. FL Studio also includes Groove Templates, which allows you to quantize to a certain genre or beat. For example, instead of quantizing to straight 8th notes, you can select a preset which will quantize to a swing beat.
