A couple more tips:
-Press F12 to close all windows. This is useful for cluttered projects.
- Hold shift and click on anything on the playlist and drag it to create an instant copy
-When using the slice tool use right click instead of left, that will delete the new slice

I didn't know the hint bar tip, Thanks Michael!

When you talked about deleting automation clips forever, i was literally crying tears of joy.

the mixer distortion demonstration was actually something i wasnt aware of. definitely will benefit me in the long run.

Being a beginner is so tough and overwhelming!
I literally hear the entire song in my head but somehow cant get the instruments to come together and achieve that.

As beginner you explained this in a way I could actually understand and follow along, one of the best teachers I've seen on YouTube so far, nothing flies over my head <3

You're one of the most underrated music production or YouTube channels in general. Your videos are very formatted, educational, and well produced. I really appreciate what you do, and I wish you the best.

I've been using FL for about a decade, and had no idea about the always on background MIDI recording. This channel is one of the few where when I see "# essential tips for there's a good chance I'm gonna find something actually unique and useful that I didn't already know. Thanks a lot for this.
