You can use FL Studio for mixing. It's not as live, or capable as hardware (a mixer or beat-box) would be, but it's more than enough for simple mixing tasks. If people are interested I can write up tutorials on how I use FL Studio for mixing.
 
Sure you can use FL Studio for mixing. And arguably it's considerably more capable than a beatbox, or a hardware mixer, but that entirely depends on what you're using to do the recording/arranging. It's probably the skill of the user that would most accurately determine how well the song is mixed, regardless of what they used to do it.

You can also use, Reaper, Cubase, Sonar, Nuendo, Studio One, Ableton Live, Logic, Mixcraft, Pro Tools, Samplitude, Sequioa, and any number of other DAWs for mixing so I'm glad you cleared that up.

There are thousands of tutorials out there for FL Studio also, so it might be a lot easier on you if you just try to collect a bunch of the ones that have already been done. That way you only have to write the ones that you can't find any information on. But a quick Youtube search will return literally thousands of videos on how to use FL Studio for any number of things.

It seems like you're posting this in response to something someone said?
 
One of the main reason I posted this was to draw out any potential FL Studio users. I also want to see if there is enough interest for me to write up tutorials for mixing with FL Studio. It would take quite a bit of time to make videos and write up or commentate them, so I figured I would gauge interest first.
 
I'll bet there's a lot of people here who use FL Studio. I'm familiar with it, but I wouldn't use it as my main DAW for mixing. As an MIDI editor and loop based sequencer it works great though. The piano roll is fantastic, one of the nicer features from any of the DAWs I've tried.

The mixer and workflow are a bit awkward though. It certainly approaches DAW software from a different angle. For live use I can certainly see it's utility though. I think that's what the developers were shooting for.

You can never have enough tutorials, so I'd say go ahead and make some if you want to make the effort!
 
I love FL, it's what I do most of my mixing on, it is much different than other DAW's but I have never felt hindered by it. I feel like I know how to do everything I want it to do, but if you've got some tutorials maybe I can learn something new, or an easier way of doing something.
