Summary
In this chapter, we explored how sound works. We learned about sound waves, how we hear sounds, and how instruments create sounds. We learned about audio envelopes and how to adjust the audio envelope of any audio sample. With this information, you will be able to start using instrument plugins quickly and have an intuition of how they work. Finally, we learned how to link any FL Studio instrument plugin control to an automation clip.
In the next chapter, we will learn about music mixing techniques and explore plugin effects that can be applied to your sounds.
