Preface Thank you for purchasing this book, I'm confident it will step up your production and your ability to make better tracks. I've been producing for upwards to 3 years using FL Studio exclusively so I've amassed a lot of shortcuts and knowledge on the software. Tie that together with some music theory knowledge and you can bang out awesome beats in minutes. I'm writing this book for any aspiring producers that use Fruity Loops and want to start creating better music quickly. It covers all of the things I've learned over the years including how to mix, master, common patterns, workflow hacks and more. Enjoy reading and leave a review afterwards if you have time.

Learning scales and chords will transform your music production. If you can play in key,
