FL Studio tutorials are educational video material about using Image-Line's digital audio workstation in the context of music production, sound design, sound engineering (recording/mixing), and finally audio mastering.

Newbie music producers often start with beginner tutorials and later on proceed with time into more advanced tutorials as time goes on.

Basics

Learning music theory helps a music producer to understand the language of music composition, and it doesn't matter which digital audio workstation you choose to use. Music theory knowledge is universal.

So we can arguably say that the title of "music theory tutorial" is therefore misleading since it may imply to FL Studio beginners that these music production tutorials are exclusive only to Image-Line's FL Studio which isn't true.

The best way to describe FL Studio music theory tutorials is that these music tutorials are a way of sharing music theory knowledge via the use of Image-Line's FL Studio as a tool. The same way this can be done using, for example, Steinberg's Cubase Pro.


Sound Design

Music tutorials often labeled as "FL Studio Sound Design Tutorials" are simply sound synthesis or synth programming tutorials made mainly using Image-Line's FL Studio plugins such as:
  • 3xOsc (Classic VA synthesizer)
  • Harmor (Additive/Subtractive synthesizer)
  • Sytrus (FM synthesizer)
The purpose of FL Studio sound design tutorials is to showcase and highlight cool features including techniques music producers can use later on to make specific sounds in regards to their signature sound.

However, in most cases, FL Studio sound design tutorials aren't a good starting point for beginners since it makes more sense to learn the digital audio workstation (DAW) itself before diving deep into technical stuff that is, sound synthesis.


Audio Mixing and Mastering

In music production mixing (i.e. sound engineering) and audio mastering are vital stages of music production.

Tutorials labeled as "mixing and mastering tutorials" pretty much demonstrate to the user how you can mix or master an entire song from start to finish.

Some tutorials may only use Image-Line's FL Studio plugins or a combination of 3rd party VST plugins. Either way, the same definition applies to FL Studio mastering tutorials as well.
