Hello and welcome to the FL studio video tutorial for video recording. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up FL studio to receive audio. How to record audio into your project, and how to apply some basic processing to your recordings. Recording audio into FL studio is easy and intuitive, so let’s get started.
To begin, you should have FL studio correctly set up to record audio. To access the options to audio recording, click options and audio settings. In the 0040 panel there is a menu with all the available devices on your system.
FL studio supports the ACO standard and you should select the ACO driver for your soundcard to record in to FL studio. If you don’t have any ACO compatible soundcard, don’t worry. As you can record using the built in FL studio waive editor. Of course, you should also set up your external recording source, whether it’s a turn table, microphone or any other source, so that it’s feeding the correct input at a good level.
Once your FL studio software is correctly set up to record audio, the next thing that you’ll need to do is to set up a project that you record into. FL studio automatically loads a black project when you start it up, but will open a preexisting project to give ourselves a head start.
Okay, now this track sounds great. Let’s say you want to replace a track or add a new track of audio to the project. First of all we need to prepare the track or tracks that we’ll record to, which we’ll do in the mixer window. Press the disc icon on the routing panel. In the browse dialog that opens, select the name and location for the waive file to be recorded. The disc icon turns orange to show that the track is ready to be recorded.
Next, we need to set up our recording options. Do this in the mixer pop up menu. In the disc recording sub menu, you should check 32 bit floating point recording if you wish to record a 32 bit waive file, while we’re here we can check the auto create audio clip function. To insert the resulting audio clip in the play list audio track after recording is completed. Now we have finished setting up the audio recording options
and we’re ready to go.
In the transport panel enable the record button. And when you’re ready to record, press play. And when you want to end they recording, press stop. Okay, now that we have finished recording, let’s play it back.

Okay, now that we have successfully recorded and audio file and included it as a new part in our project. It’s as simple as that, now you can treat this audio and 335 as you have any other sample you have loaded in your project. You can adjust levels and panning, you can also apply a processing such as 341 and insert effects by using the mixer window, the possibilities are endless.
Well that’s about it, we hope you enjoyed this tutorial. We hope you have a good feel for all the audio features in FL studio. Of course there is a time in a short video to cover all the possible options. FL studio comes with excellent online documentation which you can use alongside this tutorial to answer more detailed questions as your knowledge of the program increases. Thanks for your attention and have fun with FL studio.
