Create A Glitch Effect With Fruity Delay 3 | FL Studio Tutorial #shorts

Creating a glitch-like effect in your music can add a unique texture and excitement to your tracks. With Fruity Delay 3 in FL Studio, you can achieve this effect by following a few strategic steps. Below, we'll guide you through the process:

Open Fruity Delay 3:
- First, you need to insert the Fruity Delay 3 plugin onto your desired mixer track.
Disable Tempo Sync:
- Within Fruity Delay 3, disable the "Tempo Sync" option. This allows you to manually control the delay time rather than syncing it to the project tempo.
Adjust the Time Knob:
- Turn up the "Time" knob to set the desired length of the delay. This will be the principal parameter we'll automate for the glitch effect.
Create an Automation Clip for Wet Knob:
- Right-click the "Wet" knob and select "Create an automation clip." This creates an automation clip in the playlist that allows you to control the mix between the dry and wet signals over time.
Link Time Knob to Automation Controller:
- Now, right-click the "Time" knob and click "Link to controller."
- In the "Link to controller" window, choose the "Delay 3 Wet Automation" from the drop-down menu.
- Ensure to enable "Inverted" under the "Mapping formula." This ensures that the "Time" knob moves in the opposite direction to the "Wet" knob.
Modify the Automation Clip:
- Adjust the automation curve in the playlist until it looks something like a zigzag or a ramp, which will help in achieving an irregular and glitch-like delay effect as the track plays.

By automating the "Time" knob in reverse in relation to the "Wet" knob, you will create a chaotic and glitchy delay effect that adds depth and character to your music.
