(This is where you can see your song’s bars.) Within the playlist, hold down CTRL and Left-Click + Hold near the top of the playlist, on the Timeline. (I’m going to show how to create an automation clip in the playlist first later in this article, I’ll break down other areas of FL Studio where we can use automation.) This allows the automation clip to be the length of the area I’m wanting to automate. I personally like to just highlight the area BEFORE I create the automation clip. Yet, that automation clip will extend for the full length of the song I find this pointless, unless you’ll be effecting that parameter all throughout the song.

Now, a lot of tutorials will show you to just create an automation clip. How to Create an Automation Clip in FL Studio

Where to Find/Edit Automation Clips in FL Studio.

So let me break down everything you need to know about automation tracks in FL Studio, and talk about using them in the playlist, a step sequencer pattern, and piano roll. It’s confusing when just starting out, I explain how it all works below. So if you’ve tried to create an automation clip, then adjust the parameter differently at the beginning of the automation clip, you’ll notice it defaults to what you originally created, not your new adjusted value. In addition, how FL Studio creates automation clips is it literally takes a snapshot of your parameter at that moment in time. Sometimes you’ll have to use VST2 versions if that’s the case! Make sure to test that VST3 does not crash FL Studio. You have to go Tools -> Last tweaked -> Create automation clip.) These allow you to right-click inside the VST itself so you can copy values, create automation clips, and treat the third-party plugin as if it were a native FL Studio plugin! (VST2 versions do not allow you to create automation clips through right-clicking. I’d highly recommend using VST3 versions of your plugins with FL Studio.
