as long as your sound card has asio support you can do it.Your fruity loops should have a button called moniter down on the bottom left if i remember correctly in the project tab i think or one of the tabs. click that and you should have sound going through fruity.then hit record and go at it.For recording guitars/live instruments fruity is not the best to use.Pro tools,sonar,stienberg-cubase,and ableton live are the best ones and easiest to understand.Personally i use pro tools with m-audio usb interface.if you want superior quality use pro tools as they were one of the first recording software for computers around and about 90% of recording studios use it. If you need a torrent of pro tools hit me up i have it along with a few plugins.then just get a m-audio interface and you will have good sounding music.i have my guitar plugged into my comp. i have sounds thru my headphones. i have fruityloops open. i can't figure out how to interphase the two then record. i want to record some stuff.

I haven't used fruity loops in years...after I got rid of that I got pro tracks....same thing as pro tools ,which I use now. you can pick up pro tracks for a cheap 300 with an I/O. Just remember Fdd...it's all about your I/O. you can rock any program as long as you have a good I/O. Seriously though...if you have the money to drop then get pro tools....it is well worth the money.

Thx bro. it is my sanctuary...wish that pic showed everything in the room. You have any music up online? I will shoot you all a link to my band profile on myspace tonight when I get home...you can hear some of what I have been bangin out. yay yuh. off to the bar for a shownice setup..Makes me want to get my drums out
i wasn't going to ask.
every time i start a thread like this everybody says "you gotta use XXXXX" so i download it. i have a hard time downloading stuff so once i get it downloaded i have no desire left to use it. so i wait a while. so 6 months ago i asked what the best download was for recording my guitar stuff. everybody said "fruityloops". so i downloaded it. now that i'm ready to use it everyone says you gotta have "XXXXXX", 'cause fruityloops sucks.

Rock with pro tools.For recording guitars its the way to go.Its not to difficult to set up or use.whoever told you to get fruity loops probably does not actually do live recording,its good for making beats like the above poster said.If you decide to get pro tools then hit me up i know it well and can get you going easyi just wanna rock.
If you want to do any recording and have go smooth and sound good you will need a decent I/O interface.I/O stands for input/output and they can be cards for your computer, a usb interface or firewire.like i said for the money m- audio makes good gear and is compatible with pro tools and does not cost a arm and leg to buy.Check these links out of some basic I/O interfaces and DAW"digital audio workstation"software.http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemPos=0&TempID=1&DepartmentID=6&STRID=11958&CategorySubID=876&CategoryID=876&BrandID=1579&CategorySubPriceRangeID=0&pagesize=10&SortMethod=3&Method=3&PriceRangeID=0&SearchPhrase=&Contains=&Search_Type=Department&GroupCode=&categorysubsearch=true

hey fdd i had fruity loops a while ago and got cakewalk instead. its complicated but really powerful. I think the button you are looking for has to deal with recording arm or something. i'd say the best thing you could do is get a book because recording programs can be intense and difficult to figure out at first.
the only response i found that actually has any hint of working
1.Using FL Studio Producer edition or higher.
2.Have an ASIO driver installed for your soundcard.
3.FL Studio is set to connect to your soundcard in ASIO mode. See System - Audio Settings, press F10 with FL Studio open to select an ASIO driver.
4.A sound source connected to your PC via your soundcard input/s or to a USB/Firewire interface input/s.

i don't have the program right now so i can't test it out to see if it works.

this is a waste of time and money bro.... FDD....seriously bro...go check this program out Pro Tracks™ it is simple enough for a beginner and powerful enough to do anything and everything you wanna do. It is just like pro tools just less expensive...and when you mix down the audio with it you lose a little bit of quality but unless you are doing professional shit you probably wont even notice. You also get an I/O interface with it....trust me...it's the way to go. I used this program for years. everything on my band page was recorded with protracks.
i'll try to make this as simple as possible:
i have fruity loops studio 5 open.
i have my guitar plugged into my comp.
i have my headphones on my head.
i can hear my guitar thru my headphones.
my question is:
Can anyone tell me if i am able to record what i am hearing in my headphones?
if it's no then just say no. i don't need a shopping list.
thank you again.

what happens when you hit record? does it record silence or does it just do nothing? do you see the track bar moving at all? you may just need to change the audio device you are using in fruity loops....and yes you can record with fruity loops...ive done iti'll try to make this as simple as possible:
