In most popular modern music, we will want our tracks to use the same scale and be in the same key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is elementary music theory but essential to always pay attention to it. You will need to at least know the possible keys in music for this tutorial, but just the major and minor ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also massively help you to understand what a <strong>relative minor<\/strong> is. This minor scale has the same key signature as its relative major scale but starts on a different note.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using relative minors, we can transpose a sample in a major key to match a project in a minor key.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>relative minor of any major scale can be found by decreasing the root note of the major scale by three semitones<\/strong>. For example, the relative minor of G Major is E minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know all the theory needed for this tutorial, let&rsquo;s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Change The Key In FL Studio<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Different scenarios exist for changing the key in FL Studio, so let&rsquo;s go through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Changing the key of a whole project <\/strong>is taking every single track and element of the project and pitching it up or down together. This could be to change the key in the middle of the song for effect using automation or to change the key for stylistic or performative reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Changing the key of a sample or track<\/strong> applies to any audio. This can be a single shot sample, a loop, a recording, or even a whole song. This can be to fit a sample into a track in terms of the key, to change an entire song for remixes, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we can <strong>change the key of a MIDI part<\/strong>. This is for the same reasons as changing the key of a sample but requires a different process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Changing The Key Of A Whole Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, out of the three, changing the key of the whole project is the easiest and quickest. Of course, if you&rsquo;re using third-party plug-ins, they may not integrate well with FL Studio and change with the global pitch. In this case, you&rsquo;ll have to adjust these tracks manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Locate the <strong>Master Pitch knob<\/strong> in the top-left corner of the main FL Studio window, to the right of the <strong>Hint Panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob.png\" alt=\"Location Of The Master Pitch Knob\" class=\"wp-image-13991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob.png 700w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob.png.webp\" alt=\"Location Of The Master Pitch Knob\" class=\"wp-image-13991 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob.png.webp 700w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob-300x193.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Location-Of-The-Master-Pitch-Knob.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: You can increase or decrease the project&rsquo;s pitch by an octave. It&rsquo;s measured in <strong>cents<\/strong>, but the knob does stop at every semitone. <strong>One hundred cents make a semitone<\/strong>, so adjust this accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if I have a project in the key of A Major and want it to be in B Major, I will increase the <strong>Master Pitch<\/strong> by 200 cents (2 semitones).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been many times when I&rsquo;ve written a song, and I just feel that it would sound better a semitone lower. I have no idea why a semitone does the trick, but when I drop the key that small amount, the vibe just works well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing this on each track would be a pain, so being able to change the key of the entire song is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Changing The Key Of A Sample or Track<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I work with loops a lot, and sometimes you find a loop that&rsquo;s perfect for the song, but it&rsquo;s in a different key. Rather than disregard the loop entirely, we can alter the key to make it fit with the song. It was honestly a game-changer for me once I figured this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing the key of a sample or track is precisely the same process except for the first step. It just depends on what you double-click.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to<strong> change one audio clip<\/strong>, follow the sample instructions in step one. For <strong>all the clips in a track<\/strong>, follow the track instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: With the <strong>Draw tool<\/strong>, double-click on an audio clip to change the key of a sample or on the track in the <strong>Playlist<\/strong> to change the key of the track. This will bring up the <strong>Sample Settings<\/strong> for either scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"542\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip.png\" alt=\"Sample Settings Of An Audio Clip\" class=\"wp-image-13992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip.png 542w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip-300x249.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"542\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip.png.webp\" alt=\"Sample Settings Of An Audio Clip\" class=\"wp-image-13992 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip.png.webp 542w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip-300x249.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sample-Settings-Of-An-Audio-Clip.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Within the <strong>Sample Settings<\/strong> window, go to the <strong>Time Stretching<\/strong> section and locate the <strong>Pitch knob<\/strong>.

Part<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be thinking, &ldquo;Why do I need to change the key of a MIDI part? Didn&rsquo;t I draw or record it in?&rdquo;. However, you&rsquo;d be surprised at how useful this is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, you could use MIDI packs to start a song but not like the original key. There is also the case where you&rsquo;ve played something for a particular project but realized it would work better in a different song that is in a different key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing the key of a MIDI part is very straightforward as well; we have to use the <strong>Piano Roll<\/strong> rather than the <strong>Sample Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: With the <strong>Draw tool<\/strong>, double-click on the MIDI clip you want to change the key of. This will bring up the Piano Roll with the MIDI notes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes.png\" alt=\"Piano Roll Showing MIDI Notes\" class=\"wp-image-13994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes.png 700w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes.png.webp\" alt=\"Piano Roll Showing MIDI Notes\" class=\"wp-image-13994 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes.png.webp 700w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes-300x193.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Piano-Roll-Showing-MIDI-Notes.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Select all the notes in the part by pressing <strong>CTRL + A <\/strong>for Windows and <strong>CMD + A<\/strong> for Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll.png\" alt=\"All Notes Selected In Piano Roll\" class=\"wp-image-13996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll.png 700w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll.png.webp\" alt=\"All Notes Selected In Piano Roll\" class=\"wp-image-13996 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll.png.webp 700w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll-300x193.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/All-Notes-Selected-In-Piano-Roll.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Click on the arrowhead icon in the top-left corner of the Piano Roll window, hover your mouse over <strong>Edit<\/strong>, and you will see some transposing options in the second section.

If you&rsquo;re lucky, then the key is already in the sample title, but that&rsquo;s not always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually figure this out by jamming on the guitar or keyboard to it and finding the key that way. However, you can get some idea of the key of a sample in FL Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: On your sample audio clip in the<strong> Playlist<\/strong>, click on the audio wave icon in the top-left corner of the clip with the <strong>Draw tool<\/strong>. Here, select <strong>Edit Sample<\/strong> within the <strong>Sample<\/strong> section. This will bring up the <strong>Edison<\/strong> window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Right-click the sample&rsquo;s waveform, select <strong>Regions<\/strong>, then <strong>Detect Pitch Regions<\/strong>.

Another prominent use is to change the song&rsquo;s key for the last chorus for extra impact and energy.<\/p>\n<p>When a producer remixes a track, they may change the key of whatever audio they are remixing to get the right feel, timing, and texture for their creation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1683575058292\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What Popular Songs Have Been Transposed To A Different Key, And How Does It Affect The Feel Or Mood Of The Song?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&ldquo;I Will Always Love You&rdquo; by Whitney Houston was initially written and performed by Dolly Parton in the key of A major. Whitney Houston transposed it to the key of D major, which allowed her to showcase her vocal range and added a brighter, uplifting feel to the song.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hallelujah&rdquo; by Leonard Cohen has been covered countless times. This means it&rsquo;s been transposed to many different keys by various artists, and each version has a slightly different feel. Jeff Buckley&rsquo;s famous cover version is in the key of C major.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My Heart Will Go On&rdquo; by Celine Dion was initially written and performed in the key of E major but has been transposed to the key of C major by many singers. This change makes the song easier for those with lower vocal ranges. What&rsquo;s incredible is that Celine Dion tracked this song in one take on the first try!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1683575096753\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What Tips Can I Use For Changing The Key Of A Sample Without Affecting The Sound Quality In FL Studio?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>FL Studio has several pitch-shifting plug-ins, such as <strong>Pitcher, Newtone, and Harmor<\/strong>. These plug-ins can adjust the pitch of a sample without affecting the sound quality too much.<\/p>\n<p>Time-stretching a sample can help you adjust the pitch without affecting the tempo or the sound quality too much. FL Studio has a built-in time-stretching algorithm called Stretch, which can be applied to samples.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things is to start with a high-quality sample can help minimize any artifacts that may occur when pitch-shifting or time-stretching. If you start with a low-quality sample, it can only get worse.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id_296404-e5{margin-bottom:0px;}.kb-row-layout-id_296404-e5 >
