I am new to the production of music and have recently got a copy of FL9.
I was wondering if you could give me any links to any in depth but beginner tutorials (i have looked on youtube but cant really see any but i assume there must be some there) for FL9 or any of the earlier versions as they dont seem to differ that much.
You probably all know how frustrating it is too have millions of ideas in your head and not be able to create them so thanks for the help

This link will solve all of your problems. I take that back. Given your inability to run a simple google search the intricacies of production will likely remain closed to u. If you want to do this, man up and get ready to do a few years of work.

Don't take it personally mate, some people spend every waking minute on here, so have seen these Q's asked a gzillion times before. The best advice i can give you is:
1/ go through the tutorials by Warbeats, NFX and AcePincter.
2/ go through them all again
3/ Read the production bible sticky at the top
4/ Learn about your DAW, EQ& compression etc, before getting bogged down learning VST's/samplers all at the same time!
Have fun!

Read, read and read. And learn to know your DAW. Don't try to learn alot at once. Let the VSTs be until you are familiar with your DAW, then add up with VSTs and whatnot. If you really enjoy it, then put alot of your spare time in it. You will learn the most from experimenting and trial and error.

F1 for the manual and you'll learn a lot. Also the video tutorials on Image-Line's site are good too if you're just starting out:

After you read a tutorial have a play with the concept you've just learnt, that way you'll find your own individual little touches that will help you sound different.
FL is really easy to learn so you'll be making beats in no time...
