This wikiHow teaches you how to import sound samples, like new instruments or effects, into FL Studio. If you don't have sound samples available, you can download them from FL Studio's developers' website.

1. 1

   Open FL Studio. It's a black app with an orange carrot icon.

   • If you don't have any samples to import, you can purchase some from the FL Studio developers' site.

2. 2

   Click the OPTIONS tab. You'll see this option in the top-left side of the FL Studio window.

4. 4

   Click the File tab. It's at the top of the Settings window.

5. 5

   Click an empty file-folder icon beneath the "Browser extra search folders" heading. You'll see these icons on the left side of the window; clicking one will open a browser window in which you can select your sample folder.

6. 6

   Click the sound sample folder. Depending on the folder's location, you may have to click through a few different folders in the browser window to reach it.

   • For example, if the sample folder is in your Documents folder (Windows), you might click Desktop, then Documents, and finally the sample folder.

7. 7

   Click OK . It's at the bottom of the browser window. Doing so will import your sample folder. You'll see a location with the same name as your sample folder pop up in the column of options on the left side of the FL Studio window--this is where you'll access your imported samples when constructing tracks.
