@@ProductionDen hi, I have a question. I have my mic connected and everything, but the computer ends up picking up my voice, and I can’t figure out why. I went through all the settings. It would mean a lot if I could get some help.

[@ProductionDen]

What audio device did you select in your settings? Did you pick the ASIO driver for your audio interface? Do you have speakers connected to the interface? Or is the audio just playing through the internal computer speakers?

[@bigsmoke8556]

@@ProductionDen the audio device I selected in my settings is ASIO4ALL v2 I really appreciate your help man🙏 also the when I select this the audio plays through the internal computer speakers. If I try and connect it through the audio interface through the headphones, for some reason it doesn’t work through the mic

[@ProductionDen]

Okay. Sounds like you might need to download the driver for your audio interface. And then select that ASIO driver from the audio settings in FL Studio. You’re using the generic ASIO driver. So it may not be recognizing the audio interface correctly.

I am having trouble with FL recording all the stuff and not just my vocals. I haven't been able to figure that out. I know it must be some stupid setting, but I don't know where. To clarify, I am trying to just record my voice, but I am trying to sing over a track so I can hear it. But it wants to record the audio from that track as well as my voice. Any suggestions?

[@ProductionDen]

Sound like you might have setup to record your voice from the Master Channel. So instead you need to setup your voice to be recorded in another track like Insert 9 for example. The Master channel is where all the audio ends up. So you need to record your voice in a place (Insert 9) before it goes to the Master Channel, so that it is the only thing you hear when you record.

[@malak-dq3kg]

And your voice is a chef kiss honestly.

When I'm recording vocals, my beat is getting recording with it in the same recording. I'm a beginner. Please help!!!

[@ProductionDen]

Check to make sure you aren’t recording on the master channel. Pick one of the insert tracks to set up your mic on. Also make sure that you aren’t playing your track through speakers. Because that will get picked up by the mic. Put headphones on when you record the vocals.

[@deynierose]

you need open ended headphones for mixing and closed headphones for recording. Don't let all that sound leak out your headphones into your mic like i used to lol

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Which version of FL studio 20 you’re running? I’m running 20.0.04.57 and the latency is too bad to record vocals like you.

[@ProductionDen]

I’m running 20.8.4 now. The latency can be adjusted in the audio tab section to shorten it if you need. But it is also going to depend on memory and cpu in your computer. Especially if you have a lot of other things going on in the song.

[@l_0288]

Hey man I was wondering if you can record segments with the one recording without resetting the whole recording thanks

[@ProductionDen]

Yes, absolutely @Luca. If you press the Space Bar after you record a segment, it will stop the recording, but keep the track armed. If you press the space bar again, you can start recording again at a new location, and it will just append a number to the end. So if you had named it vox_verse, the next segment would be labeled vox_verse_2 or something like that. I use this process a lot when I'm putting together songs.

[@starboi8152]

Help ! when i try to record something over another track, i'm not able to hear those other tracks which makes it really hard to record. what should i do ?

[@ProductionDen]

Check you audio interface for a direct monitor knob. Some audio interfaces have knobs and switches that let you listen to what is coming from the audio interface only and nothing else. Try putting that in different positions and see if that solves the problem.

[@DreSoul2049]

Hi Production Den...new subscriber here! So you see where you selected insert 13 for vocals on the mixer, did you also have to assign track 6 on the playlist to insert 13? This is what I do (but not sure if I've been doing this right?) or did it automatically go to track 6 on the playlist in this video. By the way loving that Melody and vocals...

[@ProductionDen]

Hey DreSoul! I didn’t set track 6 on the playlist. But there is an option to link a playlist track with a mixer track. I found some drawbacks with doing it that way , but if it helps you, go for it. I usually end up just Naming and color-coding tracks as I start to develop the project into a full arrangement.

Definitely use headphones. Otherwise your mic will pick up all the other sounds coming from your speakers. Good luck on your first vocal recording! And let me know if you have any other questions.

[@futureworldmachines4407]

Could you use the pre/post effects button on the mixer if you wanted to record a dry version of vocal? (Pretty good voice by the way!).

You absolutely can use the pre button to record a dry signal.

hi ,I downloaded the Behringer driver and my um2 interface is working well with my xlr mic (green signal on) but i cant hear any output in fl studio While headphones plugged into the sound adapter jack and into the um2 .WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

[@ProductionDen]

Make sure you check on the direct monitor button on the UM2. It sounds like you might have that button turned on, which means that you might just be listening to what is coming into the audio interface.

[@bros_alenski]

Thank you so much, Production Den. I have learnt so much from your fl studio tutorials. But I wanted to know what I can do if a part of my first vocal recording is not perfect. Let's say there's a mistake at the end of the vocal and I just want to re-take that part. What do I do? Should I record that part on a new mixer track? Can't I cut off that part and re-record that part on the same mixer track?

[@ProductionDen]

You can definitely record new parts. If you know the part you want to re-record, you can slice it off of the original take and mute it using the mute tool in the playlist. then record in the new part.. If you are interested in jumping on a zoom call so I can talk you through, DM me on twitter @_thejeremyj

[@ProductionDen]

After you record the audio, it will show up as a file in your playlist and in your channel rack. But it will not be routed to the same mixer track that you recorded from. You have to go and send the vocal to another channel in the mixer so you can process it with Eq, compression, and other effects. Hope this helps.

[@MasnayHD]

When i record the audio it shows up in the audio track and my mic works, but theres no sound coming from the audio. As if its muted but its not. Help please :(

[@ProductionDen]

Check to make sure you weren’t recording in pattern mode instead of song mode. When you record in pattern mode it records the file, but nothing gets added to the playlist. The other thing to check is to right click On the record button and make sure that the option to record audio is checked.

[@Zalva10]

Why does it record with the instrumental. I just want to record vocals.

[@ProductionDen]

Make sure you don’t have your vocal record channel setup on the master channel. Or on the same channel where the music is playing. As long as you do that you should be able to record your vocals separately.

[@bukannaworldwide3901]

Please I need a help,after all this setting I still find out that when I press record, instead of my voice been recorded in the selected track, the instrumental will be recording...please I need your help

I have a gaming headset and the mic is on the headset, when im in the mixer and click in the "in 1" when your suppost to hear yourself, it aint working

If you are plugging the headset directly into the computer, then don't use the audio interface to try to record. You could try just switching your audio setup to be FL Studio ASIO and see if it picks up the headset mic.
