How To Slide Notes in FL Studio - Pitch Shifting

In this tutorial, I show 4 ways to slide notes in FL Studio 20.
These work for sliding bass notes (808 glides, bass slides etc), sliding melodies and also pitch-shifting entire chords and songs. I think this is everything you need to know about sliding notes in FL Studio!

▶Time Stamps
0:00 - Intro
0:50 - Sliding Sound from plugins using the Pitch Bend parameter
6:35 - Sliding a sample using the MIDI Slide Note
9:40 - Sliding MIDI using the Slide Note in the Piano roll
10:40 - Sliding a Wav file using the Pitch Bend parameter

▶My Equipment
Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro (I exclusively use Beyerdynamic and recommend the whole DT Pro Range - Made in Germany)

Damn bro, those notes slid so smoothly I slipped on the floor.

I really like that this is a channel that doesn't try to be really short and actually does full videos that you can actually learn from, videos like "how to in 5 minutes" are not the best for actually learning how to make music

This is one of the best channels on YouTube for producers

The winners of last weeks giveaway shared these tips for everyone to learn from:

"I would say the best tip I have is don’t be afraid to re-listen to your melody and chords again without the drums if you’re struggling. Just listening alone can spark a new idea if you’re stuck on a groove and don’t feel like it’s progressing" - Daniel Wisell

"1. Don't force or overthink it. It will probably just make you enjoy the process and your beats less. Often simple is better, especially if you're making beats that you expect a topline on since it will leave room for the artist to do their thing.
2. Move on. If you feel like you're stuck on a beat, leave your DAW for a while or starts working on another idea and come back and listen to it with fresh ears. It can help you progress easier.
3. It is okay to remove sounds. This one has helped me become a better producer because earlier I would throw too many sounds into the beat which would make it muddier and harder to listen to. Let your beats breathe. :) " - MILES

"- Stop comparing yourself to others, your journey will be different
- Open yourself to different genres, bpm's, etc
- NEVER give up, its a marathon not a sprint! ALWAYS remember why you started making music
- Learn to accept compliments
- More layers are not always the answer. Focus on fewer, quality sounds!
- Hi-Pass Filters are your friend for removing excess low end" - Alexander Z


Thanks for sharing all of these tips :)

Thanks Michael. I know I may have commented this already when the Video Dropped but, I've been wondering why Sliding notes with a 3rd party plugin NEVER worked in the piano roll!.. THANKS A BILLION YOU NEED MORE RECOGNITION FOR THESE VERY SIMPLE TO FOLLOW VIDEOS AND NO ADDED BULLSHIT . YOU THE REAL OG TEACHER FOR D.A.W TUTORIALS

[SuperWiiBros]

This isn't what I'm looking but holy shit I never knew the Envelope feature, I always deal with the gaw damn audio samples playing and not stop playing until they end, so this was helpful

When using the automation channel to do pitch bends, another tip to save you time in manually bending to -200 cents is to do the following:


- Set pitch bend range to +/-5 semitones
- In the automation clip, right-click your point and select "Type in value"
- Each 10th (so 0.1) value corresponds to a semitone, with 0.5 being the base pitch
- 2 semitones down would be -> 0.5 - 0.2 = 0.3
- If you need a larger pitchbend range, use 10 or 50 (0.05 and 0.01 step per semitone, correspondingly)

You are a great example of why someone should stick with a great DAW and learn it in depth. Always informative videos and usable stuff!
