Did you miss this FL Studio hidden feature?

The creator previously shared FL Studio tips using Edison for textural atmospheres and pads, but viewers suggested a better method that yields superior results.

• Eddie, a recent Discord Community challenge winner, shared insights • Alfons, former imageline employee, taught the technique • Both are well-known in the Discord server and forums

The hidden feature involves the Fruity Convolver plugin, which is available in all editions of FL Studio.

Learning this technique allows full potential of the Convolver tool for creating professional pads and atmospheres.

The normal method is to load the plugin on a track, blend in wet level, and adjust presets like spring reverb or small room to recreate natural sounding reverbs of real spaces and expensive hardware devices.

• Blur Pink preset uses stereo white noise file with volume envelope • Blur White preset provides the same functionality • These blur any sound passing through them

Works with MIDI VST synths, recorded audio, and live performance input, giving flexibility to shape sound with additional tools.

Running synthesizers through the blur presets is a popular technique, though the creator demonstrates on live guitar as another common pad creation method.

Electric guitar on input one with simple compression is blended with the Convolver wet signal to create ethereal pad textures from guitar chords and notes.

• Adding single notes on top of chords changes emotion and style • Careful control needed to avoid harsh scratching sounds • Equalizer used to cut low end for cleaner results

Valhalla Supermassive (free plugin) offers a massive section preset called 'billions and billions' that creates heavenly guitar pad sounds with unique tone.

Creator uses VSX headphones for spatial placement during recording, though traditional headphone modeling provides tighter metronome sync when needed.

A free synthesizer with simple soft pluck sound creates smooth pad results when run through the Convolver blur presets.

• Arpeggiating provides blend of low and high notes • Timing of extra notes doesn't matter as everything blurs together • Flexibility in note placement creates organic texture

The volume envelope button adjusts attack, sustain, and release to control how quickly the blur engages and how long it holds or cuts away.

The Equalizer uses a visual curve approach to shape frequency response, with common practice of cutting low end and blending in dry signal before adding further effects like delay.

Pads and atmospheres sound best at low volumes where removing them creates noticeable absence but adding them doesn't draw excessive attention, creating a subconscious effect.

• Switch between different rooms to assess appropriate level • Test on different speaker systems to verify balance • Toggle effect on and off to find optimal volume

Adds subtle motion and emotion underneath a track, transforming simple demo recordings into pieces with feeling that could develop into complete songs.

Fruity Convolver is a low CPU option for generating incredible reverbs and the creator's favorite reverb in FL Studio, making the discovery of blur presets surprisingly late.

Creator recommends watching their Reverb Master Class for deeper understanding of algorithmic convolution and different types of reverbs.

Today's production allows testing multiple reverb types on the same audio and quickly selecting the preferred option.

• Eddie provided technique insights • Alfons shared expert knowledge • Both enabled sharing of hidden feature with viewers

Creator thanks viewers for watching and encourages continued learning in upcoming videos.
