slide 1: FL Studio Keyword Cheat Sheet For Producers Beat
Makers
jaystacks.com /fl-studio-keyword-cheat-sheet/
This page lists some of the keyboard shortcuts to useful commands in FL Studio. Every day another producer is
asking me how I manage to navigate so quick around FL Studio. Here is the answer to that basically I learnt most of
the easy and most frequent commands of by heart and its really easy to do. Learn I’d say around 5 at a time and
before you know it you’ll have memorised most of the shortcuts. Please examine the menus/context menus for more
shortcuts.
NOTE: Single key shortcuts will only work when ‘Typing keyboard to piano’ Ctrl+T is off.
