This versatile noise can add texture, fill in gaps, and even help alleviate ear fatigue. In this article, we will explain how to add white noise in FL Studio, one of the top digital audio workstations (DAWs) on the market.

2. Adjust the 3xOsc settings for white noise:
   Once the 3xOsc plugin is loaded, you need to adjust its settings to generate white noise. In the 3xOsc plugin window, set all three oscillators to the 'noise' waveform by clicking on the waveform icons and choosing 'noise' from the list. Turn off the other two oscillators by setting their volume levels to zero.

1. Automate the white noise:
   You can automate the white noise by right-clicking on any parameter in the Channel settings and selecting 'Create automation clip.' This will place an automation clip in the Playlist, where you can adjust the parameter's value over time.

   
   



2. Add effects:
   You can further process the white noise by adding effects to the mixer channel it’s routed to. Popular effects to use on white noise include reverb and filtering for realistic space and movement in your mix.

You can now use the Piano Roll to arrange the white noise in your project. Open the Piano Roll by right-clicking the channel and selecting 'Piano roll.' Draw the relevant notes and lengths of the white noise in the grid.

By following these steps, you will have successfully added white noise to your FL Studio project, allowing you to diversify your audio palette with rich textures and seamless transitions.
