FL Studio Cookbook

This book has so much Knowledge I wish it had follow up editions! FL Studio can be intimidating to people who are not that familiar with the software. This is the reason for me purchasing this book! I will go back through it to really get a better understanding. Thanks for a great book

If you have FL Studio, you need to get this book. It has everything here, well thought out and easy to access.

This text does cover the basics of starting the voyage into FL Studio. I discovered after this arrived that the cost through Amazon is 20% more that through the publisher's site. I'm sure that some might think that the better text would be FL Studio Bible published via Image-Line through Lulu. However, it is more of a detailed technical user manual, whereas this is laid out as a introductory tutorial. It would be great is someone would combine the tutorial aspects of this type of text with using Image-Line effects and accompanying products (e.g., Harmor, Harmless, Reverb, Newtone, etc.,) to create a handful of different musical compositions, including mixing and mastering those songs to completion. That would be awesome! Maybe I should start, huh?!

OK...This is *not* a "cookbook". A "cookbook" generally assumes that the user has the basic "cooking skills" under their belt and demonstrates how to create tasty new dishes using those skills and the ingredients at hand. Refer to any number of O'Reilly Press 'cookbooks' on various topics (e.g., PhP Cookbook, Raspberry Pi Cookbook, etc.) to understand the difference in content and context of this book and a true 'cookbook'. Rather, this book is an introduction to FL Studio. In fact, it should be retitled as such. As an intro book, its good. In fact, I wish I'd had this book when I started using FL Studio. It would have cut a year off my learning curve (unfortunately, music production is only a weekend hobby due to my 'real life' profession. So, if you're looking for a solid intro to FL Studio, this book is a solid starting place. I can't recommend this to anyone with moderate experience or higher. BOTTOM LINE: Not a cookbook. Should be titled "FL Studio 101" . Solid start block for the FL Studio newbie. Not much content for anyone using FL Studio for more than a few months.

There is much debate over FL Studio tutorials. If you want to great book to explain what you "think" you already know, then this is it.

This book is a keep. I hope I will never loose or damage this book. It taught me a lot!!!!

the book is well written and i was up and running the program in no time thanks to you

Out of date. The Fl Studio 2.0 is the current edition but the book was old and was hard to follow.
