Frequently asked questions
How do you record in FL Studio?
Press Ctrl + R to toggle the record button, then Space to start. Play/Stop is Space, and Ctrl + H is a panic key that kills any stuck sound.
What are the F-key window shortcuts in FL Studio?
F5 opens the Playlist, F6 the Channel Rack / Step Sequencer, F7 the Piano Roll, and F9 the Mixer. They toggle the window open and closed.
How does undo work in FL Studio?
Ctrl + Z toggles between your last two states rather than stepping back. To step back through your full edit history one action at a time, use Ctrl + Alt + Z.
