GratuiTous (itsGratuiTous.com) is a music production education site focused on FL Studio and beatmaking. It offers online video courses, eBooks, FL Studio templates, drum kits, VST presets, SFX, and 1-on-1 private FL Studio lessons. The site is run by GratuiTous (Riley Weller), whom the site describes as a Recognized FL Studio Trainer, and says he has been teaching music production since 2011.
The platform is highly niche, with courses covering FL Studio basics, intermediate techniques, drum loops, sound selection, arrangement structure, music theory, piano improvisation, recording, mixing, mastering, sampling, sound design, and production workflow. The lifetime membership page lists 35 courses, 523 videos, and around 92 hours of content, covering beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Lessons are mainly pre-recorded/streaming courses, with some course pages mentioning downloadable offline viewing. There are also 1-on-1 FL Studio Lessons priced at $89. We did not see any information about live classes or formal certificates.
The pricing structure is fairly clear: monthly membership is $29/month, annual membership is $197/year, and lifetime access to all courses is $297. Individual courses are typically priced between $9 and $97, such as FL Studio Beginner Course at $29 and Piano Lessons for Producers at $39. eBooks are around $9.99-$27, while templates and training courses can also be purchased separately. If you only want to learn a specific topic, the entry cost for individual courses is not high; if you are committed to using FL Studio long term, the lifetime membership looks like better value.
The main advantage is its precise positioning: it builds around FL Studio and extends from software operation to the full music production workflow, rather than offering only scattered tips. The instructor background, course count, and total course duration are all clearly displayed. Courses such as Piano Lessons for Producers emphasize practical piano skills for producers, which differs from traditional classical piano instruction. The downside is that the platform depends heavily on FL Studio, so it is less suitable for users of Ableton, Logic, Cubase, and other DAWs. The pages also do not clearly disclose key details such as certificates, refunds, payment methods, learning community, or assignment feedback. Course pages are mainly in English, which may be a language barrier for Chinese learners.
It is best suited to FL Studio beginners, beatmakers, and independent producers who want to systematically improve their arrangement, mixing, mastering, and piano improvisation skills. If your goal is to obtain a professional certificate or receive Chinese-language tutoring, it is not the best choice. The text does not specify access or payment conditions from mainland China, so these would need to be tested in practice. If access is unstable, alternatives include Chinese FL Studio tutorials on Bilibili or NetEase Cloud Classroom, or international course platforms such as Udemy and Skillshare.
