Some of my favorite and most used hotkeys:
CTRL + Shift + L = Assign selected instances in the channel rack to mixer tracks at the same time
F9 = open Mixer
Enter = make the playlist larger / smaller
L to switch between pattern playback and playlist playback
Alt + X while in the piano roll to bring up the level scaling widget
Alt + Q to bring up the quantize widget
CTRL + Q to quick quantize to selected grid

Bonus tip - Patcher has a great mid-side EQ preset that's great especially for those just learning what mid-side EQ is all about.

as someone who has been using FL Studio for just over 7 years, a lot of these things come second nature, but I absolutely love the way you present information. I will be showing your channel to beginners that I am helping, your videos are so helpful, concise and satifying! Love it!

Engaging, memorable, and only has the important parts.
This is how all tutorials should be.

Pro tip: for anyone who has a mouse with some extra programmable buttons, make use of them. I have two thumb buttons on my mouse, and I set them up for 'Right Shift' and 'Right Alt' respectively.

Right Shift + Left Click = Vertical Cut in Playlist and Piano Roll.
Right Shift + Right Click = Vertical Cut and trim smallest segment in Playlist and Piano Roll.
Right Alt + Left Click = Mute audio clip/pattern/note in Playlist and Piano Roll.

This allows me to do a lot of slicing and muting and stuff and never having to change from select tool to cut tool and vice versa. I don't have to move my left hand all the way to the right side of the keyboard. You can set up any keyboard key to a mouse button if you have a mouse with extra programmable buttons, so this is a great trick for anyone who wishes they could have more customizable macros/keybindings in FL. I do cutting/muting personally.

I don't use FL Studio, tbh I don't even make music, but damn I watch every one of your tutorials, the way everything is perfectly synchronized, and the tips are part of the background music itself, really you don't do things by halves, and I like that.

[YarSpry]

I rewatched your tutorial and tips videos a dozen times because they're really amazing and helpful for beginner in FL Studio like me

Im really grateful that you made a shortcut video
Please make more. They're amazing!

A great tip I never hear anyone talk about: in piano roll, alt+v toggles "ghost note" visibility from other instruments in the same pattern clip. Double-right-click on a ghost note to switch to the piano roll for that note's instrument!

[MechsVtuber]

[iammaximofficial]

Probably one of the most entertaining
yet useful videos on the internet.

The sync of the background music and the editing was superb in this video.
