So now we can go back out to the main window and playlist area to finish getting things setup.Īt the top of the program, there is a section called the transport controls. You have finished doing all the things that you need to do for the mixer window, It just makes things easier when you use a little bit of organization up front in your projects. So if I’m recording a part of the verse, then I would name it something like vox-verse1. I try to name files in a way that makes sense so that when I open the project later, I can tell at a glance what the files are. This will open up a dialog box that will ask what you want to call the file and where you want to save it. You can do this by clicking on the little circle at the bottom of the mixer track you setup. The last thing you need to do in the mixer window is to pick where you want to save the audio file that you record. RULE OF THUMB: Look to have the meter hitting about midway up to make sure you have a good usable signal that isn’t too loud, or too soft. TIP: if you are having trouble getting enough gain out of your preamp, then you can try to add a little more by adding a fruity balance plugin to the mixer track to give you a little extra volume. So that I can use plugins and mess with the volume later as I start mixing the song. This will make sure that I am getting a decent audio signal into the song Until I see the green bars hitting somewhere in the -16 to -12 level on the meter. I do this by singing into the microphone and raising the level on the audio interface preamp, Then I need to set the gain for the vocal mic. Otherwise you will get everything showing up on the left side. Make sure you are using the mono channel and not the stereo channel, I am going to select Input 1 from the dropdown menu.

Go over to the right side of the window and select the drop down menu for input. I find a blank mixer track, they are called insert tracks in FL Studio. Now that we have the audio interface setup, we need to go into the mixer to make sure that we are able to get the audio into the project. You can increase the buffer size when you move into mixing, which will help you with processing lots of plugins in your mix. RULE OF THUMB: keep buffer size low when you are recording to keep from hearing a weird delay of your voice in the headphones. That usually works pretty well for me without introducing any strange delay that I would hear in my headphones. If that doesn’t work, then I’ll move up to 512 samples. Usually when I am recording a vocal or any audio, I want to make sure that I get the buffer size as low as I can without introducing any clicks or pops into my recordings. The next setting that I need to check is the buffer size.
#HOW TO RECORD AUDIO ON FL STUDIO DRIVER#
So I want to make sure that I am looking for the ASIO driver for that audio interface. The audio interface that I am using on this project is the Presonus Audiobox iTwo. When that window comes up, I will select the audio tab.Īt the top of the audio tab you have the option to select the driver for the audio interface that you have plugged into your computer. So I will open up FL Studio and then open up the settings window by pressing F10 on my keyboard. So now that everything is connected, I need to make sure that I have everything routed correctly in FL Studio so that it sees the microphone, and I can get the audio into the song that I am producing. You need to protect your investment, and make sure that you have it for the long haul. I don’t want to do that. You don’t want to do that. Phantom power is the thing that helps power the condenser microphone to make it work.īut if I have the phantom power on while I’m connecting everything, there is a chance that I could damage the microphone. Make sure that you connect everything first, before you turn on the Phantom power.

I set up all these elements together so that I can get my voice from the microphone into the DAW.
