How to Make Beats: FL Studio 21 for Beginners

Lane presents a compact introduction to making beats in FL Studio 21. Sixteen lessons form a first route through the workstation and an initial musical project. The narrow scope suits someone who wants to begin producing a simple instrumental before deciding which theory, sound-design or mixing skills need deeper study.

What you will learn

• Follow a first FL Studio beat-making workflow
• Create and develop a short instrumental
• Identify production steps needing more practice

Who this suits

Best for a new producer looking for a manageable starting project, with enough time to pause the lessons and repeat each task in their own software session.

Before you enroll

The course lists about two hours and 11 minutes of video and an April 2025 update. FL Studio is required, while a USB MIDI keyboard is suggested rather than essential. Check your edition and current interface against the FL Studio 21 examples. The course length describes video, not time to proficiency.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Build a short beat, save a version before mixing, and change only one musical element at a time. Record which edits improve the groove and which merely make the arrangement busier.
