Whatever You do, DON'T Touch This Setting in FL Studio!

There are many myths about FL Studio. There are also plenty of FL Studio mixing tips and tricks out there that people have published with the best intentions, but not all of them are great advice. Some could even completely mess up your mixing and mastering. One of those myths or tips and tricks regarding FL Studio has to do with the panning law utilized by FL Studio.
FL Studio has two different panning laws that can be used. Triangular panning law and circular panning law. The panning law in FL Studio directly affects your mixing. Circular panning law is enabled by default. I've seen many recommend changing from one panning law to the other because it's supposed to make your fl studio projects sound better (better sound quality). Unfortunately, this is usually really bad advice, and in this video, I'll explain why you should never change from one panning law to another unless it's the very first thing you do in a new project before you start working on it.
If you change this setting after a project has been partially or completely mixed down, it will mess up the mixing whenever panning has been used.

man whoever is drawing those illustrations is making almost perfect circles, thats just impressive

[DJONTHETRACK]

Circular panning law just makes more sense to me, thanks for the tip bro

[TorontoPopulistConservative]

Imagine the nightmare that panning automations could be without circular panning law. You would have to figure out how to automate the volume perfectly to stay constant if a constant volume is what you are going for.

Agreed, I changed the panning law and had a hard time mixing for months before I realized it was because of the panning law.

Triangular panning law sounds like viewing through a fish-eye lens.
That could be useful and has me wishing for panning law that can be set per mixer track.

to each is own but i feel like theres is more depth and width with triangle panning so im willing deal with the small consequences

Blakey Don't stop making soft. I wished I started as early as you. You have a lot of years to learn!

This is a good revision! I found your Channel with the original video!

[ericdias]

Found your channel recently. My mind is blowing in knowledge. Thank you so much! :)

KOOL THANKZ IVE NEEVER TOUCHED CHANGED THAT B4

Nice video, can you please explain the (Limiter) theory. Sooo I have FL and everytime I turn the limiter down, my beats sound even louder than ever. When I turn the limiter on, the beat is subtle. When the limter is off you can hear all of the instruments after EQ of course. Why is that?

[bartolino]

But according to the FL Studio Manual, the Circular Pan Law Setting deducts -3db when panned to dead center!
Every sample that loads is automatically panned to dead center, so that means every sample panned dead center has 3db deducted by FL Studio.
For example I want the Kick sitting at -6 DB in my mix, If I have Circular Pan Law on will my kick be reduced by 3db so it will be sitting at -9 DB ??
Does that mean I always have to add 3 db back to my sample to reach my planned DB output?
Really confused here :/

Once at a local rec studio, I listened to one of the other new members of the community. He mentioned I should try something new with my music & manually pan the high hats & bass guitar notes on various adjustments.

I decided to listen to the music I created 8 years ago & thought "Why the hell did I think it was a good idea?" I currently hate how the track sounds & I don't have the original FL Studio project files to edit the song lol It'll be stuck like that forever.

Thank you lots Sir
This was really helpful

[billnora]

Thanks for this video, clear and really helpfull

[Ardegu_music]

I think so. If you use triangular panning law, you have to increase volume by compressors or limiters. So you do it manually. I think it'll be better, if it adds volume automatically.

[lucyferabyss]

Doesn’t circular panning law round it closer to mono in the center? That’s what I always thought it did anyway. Might be wrong, idk. This video is gonna be helpful though

[Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Is a chapter book 📖 and a studio album 💿 same or different from each other?

[Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Why songs have to start from beginning to end?
