Select your desired FX (e.g., choose FX for Channel 13). In the mixer channel that you want to route to, right click and select “Route to this track only”.Ī wire will show that the channel for recording is routed to the FX channel (below Channel 12 is the recording channel and Channel 13 is the FX channel that it is routed to). You can route the mixer channel output to effects in a different mixer channel if you want to hear the effects while recording, but want the audio recording dry. I would suggest recording vocals dry (with no effects in the mixer channel). Next you’ll need to make sure that you have the mixer channel(s) that you want to record the audio for set up properly for recording.

If you are starting from scratch and want to create a template, these lanes should already be empty however, if you are working with a project with sequencing already in it, or a template with empty patterns already plotted out, you will want to right click on the Playlist Track indicator (the leftmost column) on the topmost track, and select “Insert One” (do this as many times as you want for the number of audio recording tracks you think you’ll need). The first thing is to create at least a couple of empty playlist lanes at the top – you can name or color code them if you like.

Those are the known issues, so we must create a recording environment on the playlist that accounts for those nuances. The playlist audio recording in FL Studio has been, and still remains, an odd experience where the audio file shows up in the topmost playlist lane that is empty for the length of the recording (note: that the audio recording will only be as long as the selected playlist area length, and if you continue to record in a loop it will create numerous recordings that could contain a bit of a hiccup at the beginning of the loop).
