FXs that I don't know how to use

Posted by Ryzmik - June 6th, 2018

I'm learning how to use many FX on my songs in FLMobile, but there are somes FX that I have no idea what they serve or how to use them well since many months:

Bandpass filter. I think this one only provoce distortion in the song when I increase the frequency, but if there are a way to use this FX well, please tell me
Limiter. It seems that when I use this one it's only like a leveller.
Compressor. I used This FX in many of my news songs in general for the pads, but I don't know how to use it well, I think.

So that's all, if you knew the use of those FX, please, respond in this post. But remember that I don't use the FLStudio of PC, and probably that one has more things that the mobile version. Thanks.

I don't know much about the compressor, I am a noob at it too...

However, I do know that a bandpass filter is suppose to allow/block a certain area/range of frequencies. In FL Mobile, it is basically combining the Low and High passes in some weirdly professional way.

The limiter is supposed to prevent any clipping in the song. In other words, it levels out the song so the sound does not go over and sounds distorted. The Threshold in the limiter is basically the ceiling for the Ableton or FL limiter (the push is what I think it would be, it forces it to shove around between the ceiling and limiting levels).

Thanks so much for the info!

@Ryzmik You're welcome! ;)
By the way, since we both use FL Mobile, how about a collab sometime? :) :D

@JordanKyser @Ryzmik The compressor's function is to put instruments in their proper place, to be used along with EQ because sometimes, instruments and voices can share the same frequency.

For instance, I'd set the Multiband Compressor to bass boost for... well, bass, and sub-bass boost to the kick drum. The same for other things, you can make them sound bright, etc. There's even a setting specifically for vocals.

Now, these are templates, but watch where the needles on the templates go. They're a general indicator of the kind of frequency you're aiming for.
