Still, the two most common methods are to use the sample volume knob or the mixer channel fader. These methods have the same result, so you can use whichever you prefer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Selecting-The-Correct-Volume-Parameter-in-FL-Studio.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example above, I have used the volume from the sampler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2 &ndash; Creating An Automation Clip&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have found the volume parameter, you want to create the automation.

They can also be used to fade in and out the entire arrangement. Without fades, you may hear pops and clicks when new elements are introduced, and they may come in abruptly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1641929637932\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do you have to know how to create fades?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Creating fades is an essential skill in music production, as it is one of the primary methods you can use to cleanly bring in new elements to a song without them coming in too suddenly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1641929650489\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do fades have to be done with volume?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can get creative with the technique you use to create fades.

Generally, it is a good idea to get into the habit of making these fades and the start and end of a project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1641929687568\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Should you always use fades?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There are some circumstances where you may find a fade is not necessary to use, in which case it is completely fine to leave them out. Some elements may come in without any issue or need for fades, but it is always worth checking to make sure that you don&rsquo;t need to use one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1641929700187\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Can you make fades without automation clips in Fruity<\/strong><br>L<strong>oops Studio?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You could use methods to create fades that do not require fades in FL Studio. However, they are much more long-winded than simply creating volume automation.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you are looking to eliminate the need for having automation clips. In that case, you can always render the audio into a new audio track with volume automation so that you do not need to have the automation clip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now know how to create a volume fade within FL Studio, a simple but effective trick in modern music production.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fading can be used in various ways, and you can get creative with the fade effect that you are automating, so go and experiment!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many ways you can create fades in FL Studio.
