Fruity Loops recording with mic?

orangejuicepulp	Date: August 22, 2005 @ 5:23 PM Hey, Has anyone had experience with recording audio tracks in fruity loops with a Microphone? It doesn't matter if your recording your vocals or guitar etc...But my question is regarding the way the recording lines up with the previously painted traks in the song. My problem is that I will paint in a track, and then I'll go to insert channel in the Pattern box right, and then choose auido clip right. Ok, So I go to edit on the audio clips to record, and I will play back the song in my headphones while I record this new track in order to be ON TIME with it, but when I'm done and I go to the song to paint the track in on a new pattern strip It will not be matched up with the previous track, however I was recording along with it perfectly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks anyone who can help. Please.
mrdroid	Date: August 29, 2005 @ 10:33 PM hello. i have no experience in recording live with FL studio, but seeing as no one has yet to answer this quesiton i thought i'd give what help i can. the problem is that timing in recording layers is such a crucial element that you need REALLY precise cutting of the audio (i.e. if the actual recording is 0.1 sec off, it will probably sound bad). what i reccomend doing is... 1: record with a seperate program called Sound Forge 2: play the beats or whatever through headphones in FL while recording live in Sound Forge 3: import the recorded thing into FL and see whether it's too early or too late 4: open the program in Sound Forge again, making small adjustments (clipping a little dead air from the start or end of the recording) 5: repeat steps 3 and 4 until it matches sorry, that's the best advice i can give since i have little recording experience. hope it helps!

shadowself	Date: August 30, 2005 @ 12:55 PM ASIO (Audio Stream In/Out) audio drivers are high quality, low latency drivers which allow you to bypass the OS's audio drivers.
Pukeface	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 10:00 AM Using sound forge is good. Slice the track up to make editing and setting the timming easy. Or , Do it in chunks and set up Sound forge or the like to join it. Beat quantizer is out now and it's damn good! Use that if you need to stretch the track. It preserves the pitch well.
monkvolcano	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 10:46 AM ha ha.... org(badass pimp producer) I'm not sure why but thinking about you singing frank sinatra makes me laugh... you gotta have ASIO, if you have a descent soundcard, i'm sure you have it.. You can't even record MIDI with no ASIO without having a shitload of latency.. all: i wouldn't bother recording audio with FL.. I've done it some, but really the engine that handles the audio tracks hasn't really been smoothed out yet.. I think they just kind of threw that feature in to get more people to buy it.. I've had various weird problems recording audio in FL.. get something like Sonar or Cubase for recording.. it works MUCH better.. if you have a powerful enough computer, you can even run Cubase and FL together.. that's what I reccomend. Org: what kind of soundcard do you have, yo?
orgasmotron	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 3:26 PM ummmm... honestly, I have no idea. we (my family) used to do all our computer upgrading by hand and I could tell you exactly what every little bit of our computer did, but now we bought one of those new fangled 'user-friendly' computers and all that means is that the computer treats you like an idiot, and you can't open the case without a stick of dynamite.
