AUDIO RECORDING
What about Audio recording? You will need FL Studio Producer Edition or higher plus an ASIO
soundcard driver selected from the Audio Options (Press F10 on your keyboard to open them).
It’s a huge but rewarding area that is carefully covered in the main manual. Press F1 in FL Studio
and click on the Contents section ‘Recording Audio, Notes & Automation’, then the ‘Audio
Recording’ page. However we will tell you now that external audio inputs come into FL Studio
through the Mixer Input menus. There is one on each track, so get that sorted and you are on your
way!
External audio inputs are selected from the FL Studio
mixer INPUT menu. The input menu shows a drop-down list
of the available soundcard inputs (mic, line etc). The
screenshot above shows (Mic 1) selected yet (each mixer
track has its own external input options menu). Input options
will only be visible if an ASIO soundcard driver is active.
Note: The input names shown in the drop-down menu are
provided by the soundcard driver and are often given
strange names, so experimentation may be required to find
the correct input. Time to go buy some MICROPHONES!!!!!!
