FEBRUARY 2010

Welcome to Drumaxx, in this video I do a quick once-over of the plugin...

 

 

As you probably have already seen, until the 31st of March 2010 we are selling Drumaxx under the 'Pay what you think it's worth' system. The minimum is 9 Euros to cover our costs, but after that it's entirely up to you what you think Drumaxx is worth and how much Image-Line deserves.

 

Also, we are giving $1 USD to a charity (TBA) associated with supporting Haitian earthquake victims.

 

Spread the love and grab a copy of Drumaxx before we come to our senses :)

Keyboard shortcuts can make a huge difference to your work-flow in FL Studio, this one in particular is great when you have long Piano roll patterns and need to move about in them at fairly high zoom. The same technique works in the Playlist.

 

 

Not even gol (FL Studio's creator) or me (manual writer) can remember every Keyboard shortcut, but a few select ones go a long way to making FL Studio the quickest way from your brain to your speakers :)

 

You can see an (almost?) complete list of shortcuts here in the manual.

 

So what's your favourite Keyboard shortcuts? Click here to discuss in Looptalk, I will pick some of the best and make new Top Tips for them

I use this technique often to access files outside my Browser list, just open the Windows File Explorer and go grab them.
