Demo summary

A walkthrough of configuring ASIO drivers, arming tracks for recording, and using the slice tool to edit recorded audio clips.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to Options and select Audio Settings.
  2. Choose an ASIO driver that matches your interface name.
  3. Click the Record button and select 'Audio into the playlist as an audio clip'.
  4. Select your microphone input from the available interface inputs.
  5. Click the Arm button on the track to enable recording.
  6. Use the Slice tool to cut out silent parts or preferred takes.
  7. Hover over the edge of a clip and drag the corner to apply ease-in or ease-out fades.

Options

  • Use 'ASIO4ALL' or 'FL Studio ASIO' if your specific interface driver is missing.
  • Set 'Monitor external input' to 'Off' to avoid hearing your own voice while recording.
  • Toggle the metronome or countdown before recording for rhythmic accuracy.
  • Use the Mute tool instead of deleting clips when selecting between multiple takes.

Watch out for

  • You must have an ASIO driver installed; if none appear, download them from the official website.
  • Keep the record function set to 'External input only' to avoid permanently baking effects or EQ into the recording.
  • High latency can occur if too many effects are active; disable them or start a new project for recording if vocals are delayed.

Tips

  • Always record several takes even if you think the first one was perfect.
  • Slice and delete long silent parts in vocal tracks to prevent introducing unnecessary background noise.
  • Apply small fades (ease in/out) at the edges of clips to prevent audible clicks.
