Fl Studio: Vocal Volume Automation in Edison

Fl StudioTry it →Watch full video →Mix Elite | FL Studio Tips ·

Demo summary

Demonstrating how to use the Edison audio editor to manually automate volume envelopes for a more consistent vocal performance.

Step-by-step

  1. Click on the waveform of the sample and select Edit sample to open Edison.
  2. Navigate to the bottom of the Edison window and select the Volume envelope view.
  3. Right-click on the envelope line to create new automation points.
  4. Adjust the points to increase or decrease volume in specific sections of the vocal.
  5. Hover over the drag button in Edison and drag the modified waveform back into the playlist.

Options

  • Edit panning instead of volume by selecting the panning view.
  • Access Edison via the mixer if the window is closed.

Watch out for

  • Edison functions as a plugin and is typically applied to the master track by default when opened this way.

Tips

  • Keep volume adjustments within a 3dB range to avoid overdoing the effect.
  • Monitor the hint panel to see the exact decibel changes being applied.
  • Switch back to waveform mode to play the sample and zoom in on specific quiet parts.
  • Skip this nitty-gritty manual automation if you are only doing a rough mix for inspiration.

Highlights

the easiest way to do it would be with some kind of sample editor that allows us to really dive deep into the sample
