pattern channels inside the Mixer first, right-clicing on the
and then going to
Pattern channel the Mixer channel is representing.
Effects are added through the
channel. Each slot welcomes one effect. Of course,
Master channel, the whole output will be affected by such effects.
To add an effect to the Mixer channel selected, choose one slot and select the
effect from the list. Effects are applied in order, from the first slot to the
tenth one.
The effect added will be represented with its

window if you don't need it, you can open it again clicking on its slot.
More on the right, you can turn on and off the

after such effect. You also have the

The plugins can really wary and apply different effects on the sound. Let's see
the main kinds of effects you can apply.

Fruity Convolver
You can also put delays between the stereo channels, for example with
Stereo Shaper
The third group applies a

intensity of the output waveform. For example, if the line starts straight and
then becomes flat, it means that the original components that are lower in
volume reach the output as they are, while the most powerful and original
waveforms are cut in output.

The fifth group lists the
components of the channel interested in the way you like.
One of the best plugins that adds a filter is called

a system called
red (low) to yellow (high).
The filter is what to use to edit a channel spectrum. In this particular plugin,
you can add

gain, frequency by frequency. If you pull up a number, you will
filter gain on that point, and the frequency components that fall there will
become more intense. Viceversa you will cut them if you pull down the number.
In this way, you can create a

The Mixer itself has a filter that can be applied to the channel, called

The other kind of effect is the

These are the main effects you can add in FL Studio 12, but there are other
plugins more advanced that can be quite useful as well. Let's see the most
important ones.

can then playback it through the player on top, and select parts of the
waveform double-clicking on it and dragging. Right-click on the selected part
and go to
Mind that this can undo just your latest action. Then, when you are done, you
can extract the final waveform outside FL Studio clicking on the first icon
from the left, and going to
Through the other buttons inside Edison you can also add other effects like
Reverb, volume fading, pitch and so on.
A similar plugin is called
inside Edison, but with more advanced effects, especially to change the tone
and the sound pitch. But in this case, you are not able to record and import
directly from FL the waveform to start editing. So

Once the editing is done, just export it using

Another great plugin is called
the channel it is applied to. On the right, you have a graph representing one
full bar. The channel is at its original speed when the green line is flat.
You can edit this through its points, dragging them, and adding new ones
right-clicking on the line. An increasing line is a
channel is played faster, and it will have higher frequency components. If it
goes decreasing, the channel will be played slower.
