How To Turn ANY Sound Into An Instrument And Use It In The Piano Roll [FL STUDIO 20 TUTORIAL]

This is my first attempt at an FL Studio tutorial. Thought I'd show you how I sample random sounds and make melodies with them. Most of you already know this technique, but I thought I'd share some knowledge just in case a beginner should happen along and find some gems. Hope you can get some new stuff out of this! Thanks for watching, and God bless :)

Intended for FL Studio 20 and Windows
This video is for educational and entertainment purposes, and includes tips on how to:
1. tune 808s or any other sound
2. make vocal chops
3. turn anything into a playable instrument

Video filmed, produced, and narrated by Weston Kenyon

what felt like years of googling and turning up the wrong results I finally find the RIGHT ANSWER.. I did not want to convert my audio into a midi file. I wanted to convert my audio into a midi INSTRUMENT.. this helped LOADS.. FL studio is also super user unfriendly so this helped even more. I just wanted to make a song using Porky Pig's stuttering.

Can't believe no one else has done a tutorial on this. Now I can use mayonnaise as an instrument.

As a beginner with FL Studio this was extremely helpful, great video!

At 5:45 when I talk about the looping sample, instead of doing what I showed, you can simply turn off loop points by clicking the orange dot in this tab. I think it says "set loop points." Turn that off.

For those of you wondering why dragging and dropping your converted file into FL isn't working, it's because the online converter I showed in this video no longer functions properly. And now the new one I recommended was removed, so search for another one.

Please comment whether you want more tutorials or never want to see another one again.

if anyones wondering how you can get the pitch of the note if your using something other than fl studio, you can put the sample into audacity's change pitch effect and it should scan what the pitch of the note is

That's actually the best video, and I love your humor!! Subscribed!! Excited for new tutorials, trying to start to make some songs and stuff

Yoo this video is seriously helpful, as it's confirmed to me that taking a single sound and turning it into an instrument is possible. Only issue is, I don't have FL Studio and instead use Waveform, so now I just gotta figure out how to do it there. Doesn't seem to be any tutorials for that, unfortunately, but I'm sure I'll figure it out 😅 If I ever end up using FL again, I'll definitely be coming back to this video!

Great tutorial, thanks. Something to note, I don't know how recent or how common this issue is, but I couldn't drag-and-drop the sample I wanted, and the solution was to convert the MP3 file to a WAV sample. No idea why it wasn't working, but it was an annoying issue to track down. I'd drag my MP3 in, and it went into FL studio as a zero-length audio clip, so if that's happening I'd suggest trying it with a WAV sample and see if it works, it did for me. Plenty of free tools either online or as a download that can convert the file type for you.
