How do i set up FL to record Audio w/ a plug in mic? Meaning a 3.5 mm jack microphone. Hope I can do it and didn't waste my money. Thanks.

go to Options > Audio Settings... if you have "primary sound driver" selected, you want to switch that to your microphone, it should be listed under asio devices...

once you do that...
- go to the mixer and select an empty mixing track
- change the input (top right of mixer) to your microphone
- at the bottom of the mixing track, there is a little disk icon, click that
- type in what you want to save the recording as and click save... the little disk icon should turn yellow
- now you are ready to record... right click next to the record button (at the top next to start and play) and make sure "audio" is checked
- click the record button so it lights up, make sure you are in "song" mode instead of "part" mode

-press play and talk into your mic... press stop... the recording should show up in the playlist


hope that helps

Thanks a lot but the thing is the mic doesn't even pop up under the Asio devices on the audio settings =/

Idk what the hell is wrong...Audacity recognizes it..Sound recorder recognizes it...Idk what's wrong I mean It's plug in the microphone 3.5 mm jack..

it is a long and agonizing process 2 set up your mic in fl, i think theres a tutorial that will show u how

can't you record into audacity if that picks it up? the drop the pella into FL once its recorded?

But you might need a new soundcard for FL. But i'm not very hardware oriented lol. But definatly...if Audacity picks up the mic, hit record in there lol

Nevermind I got it ! Thanks a lot anyway man! I had to configure ASIO4ALL settings and let everything and mute everything else off and somehow it worked Idk how I got it but thanks!

lolo, good news

post it up when its finished, im sure we'd all love to hear what you wrote

Wait....I recorded it...But now I cant hear anything when I play it back!!

=|

Help? Please?

And I watched Tutorials but I cant follow them if I cant even find my mic

Nvm I Got It...I got Gsnap installed but my voice don't even sound like T Pains or anything else auto tune'd anywho. Oh boy this is gonna be a long day....Good mic though, picks up like everything..GOnna creepy to hear myself typing lul

EDIT: Yea thanks Lucas I will when I figure out how to lay it out w/ the track that I made (if you want to hear it it's "When Love Rains Down" in my uploads)

in the bottom right of the mixer there should be some options from output... try switching that around to find if theres an output that you can hear


-edit nevermind you're too quick lol

i just started recording audio too.... took me forever to get everything set up, but i think i finally have it all figured out... just gotta learn how to mix my vocals

Hey J do you know any other auto tune settings? Idk if Im doing something wrong but the ones Im using arent working.

nah, don't know anything about auto-tune man, sorry

Btw I wrote you a PM
