You put so much time and effort in

creating music, the melodies, the drums,

mixing and mastering, after all the hard

work you're finally done and the only

thing left to do is export the track.

Unfortunately, this is where a lot of

things go wrong. But that is only when

you don't know the ins and outs of the

export window. But don't worry, grab some

pen and paper and write down everything

that you don't know already. And that

way, at the end of this video, you will

understand how to export your projects

like a pro. When your project is done, go

to File and then Export. Here you can

choose between different file types, but

for now, just choose WAV file. Now this

window will pop up. If you don't see the

same settings as I do, click the arrow

icons to expand all of them. Let's take a

look at the project type. Here we have

two options. Full song and pattern. If

you select full song, FL Studio will,

surprise, export your entire project. But

if you choose pattern, FL Studio will do

something completely different. If you

change it in here, you can actually see

it changing up on top. Let's say you're

making a melody kit and you have your

patterns here. Just select one of them

and then export it as a pattern. Voila!

Next, we're gonna take a look at the tail

of the song. Here you can choose between

cut remainder, which will cut off your

song at the exact end.

There's no fade out, nothing.

Then we have leave remainder. With this

one, FL will export your audio until it's

radio silent. Like this.

A wrap remainder will put the tail of the

song back at the start. This is very

useful for when you're making loops.

Let's say the last sound of your loop is

a snare with reverb. Then the reverb will

be cut off and put at

the beginning of the loop.

And that way you have a perfect loop. You

should always do that when you're making

loops. But for exporting beats, you

should always select leave remainder. All

right, here you can read the length of

your project in bars and in time. At the

right, you can see the file size. Now

these are the output formats. The wave

and the flag files are lossless. This

means that they don't lose quality after

exporting. You can export multiple

formats at the same time, by the way. For

example, an mp3 and a wave file for when

you're selling beats or something. The

bit depth. Completely misunderstood by a

lot of people. Now 16-bit is CD quality

and this has been the standard for a very

long time. 24-bit is recommended for

uploading music to distribution platforms

like SoundCloud and other social media.

32-bit is used for archiving the files,

for when you need them in the future. But

in reality, humans can't really hear the

difference between these bit depths, so

16 will be perfectly fine. Now, what is

the difference between a wave file and a

flag file? First of all, both file types

don't lose quality after exporting. Flag

files are a lot smaller though and that

is because they are compressed. Usually

when you compress a file type, it means

that it loses quality because you're

throwing away data. With a flag file, you

can kind of see it like a zip file. When

you zip something in a folder, the size

decreases. Now if you want, you can also

increase the compression slider and this

reduces the file size even more. But

you're trading in your time because it

takes FL Studio longer to export. But

then, why not just use an MP3 file? You

can, but MP3 files are heavily

compressed, which means that they do lose

quality. With the bitrate slider, you can

basically decide the quality of the

exported music. Now, have you ever

wondered how producers create MIDI kits?

You know, these MIDI files that you can

drag in the piano roll? Let me show you

how to make them. Let's say I want to

save this melody as a MIDI. All you need

to do is open up the menu on the top

left. Then go to file and click on

"Export as MIDI file". That's it. You can

also export your patterns from the export

window, of course. But to render your

beats, always choose a WAV file for the

highest quality. Also, don't forget to

set the track to stereo, unless you need

it to be in mono, of course. The quality

window is processing the synths and the

effects from FL. This part of the export

window is worth making a whole other

tutorial. So let me know if you would

like that. The miscellaneous are super

important. The settings on the right

change the sound of the file and the ones

on the left add information or metadata

to the track. If you enable split by

mixer track, all your mixers will be

exported as individual WAV files. This is

useful for creating stems or trackouts.

That way the artist that buys your beat

can still remix or rearrange your beats.

Trim PDC silence. Leave it on. This fixes

unwanted silences that are created to

keep everything in sync. Okay, make sure

master effects and insert effects are

enabled. Otherwise, your song will be

exported without your effects on. Which

means your song goes to waste. The

metadata settings on the left don't do

anything to the sound of your production.

You can enable them if you want to save

the data inside the exported file. Now

this feature will allow you to upload the

music to SoundCloud, which is very nice.

But what if you want to take your project

and send it to another producer? Well,

when that producer opens your project, he

will not be able to open it, because the

samples you used are not inside. To fix

that, go to file, export and then zip new

package. Now FL will create a zip file

with the project and the samples inside.

And everyone can open up the project.

Okay, before you click on export, you

need to learn how I make my beat sound

hard and loud. So definitely go check it

out. I think you're really gonna love it.

Thank you. Gotta go now. Goodbye.
