Like i originally said you need ASIO support if you want any decent live instrument recording to be done in any program including FL.I tried using my computers on board sound and its sucks.I am glad i forked out a 100$ for a good recording interface,because its the only way i got anything recorded.software its great but really its the interface you need.If your serious about recording then you will eventually see that.but in short yes you can use what you have IF you download asio4all but the results are quite sad.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.

i think i've come to realize this. for now i need to focus on my techniques. when the time comes i will spend the money and set something up at my playing area. dedicate a comp just for that. i'll spend a little money.

Ok here some pics to help you along.
So you need to open the fruity mixer.
Then make sure that your in and out settings are correct i.e. your guitar line in is showing and that your out is wav.
Click the rec tab on your mixer and the following screen will appear.
Then make a name for your recorded track and click save.
Then immeditaly go back up to your transport controls and click the record button and then the play button.
Then play your guitar and it will record it for you as well as any drum accompaniments or other sounds that you want going on.
After you've done this you can decide that your happy with it and just play it the same as any other wav/mp3 file or you can import it back into fruity as a sample track and play more stuff over the top of it and just repeat the process as many times as you wish,just as if you had a hardware multi-tracking device.
Another little know fact about fruity is that you can have as many instances of it running at once as your pc can handle.
If you ever need any help with fruity just pm me

No worries.
I hope you get some good tunes on the go.
Also of note for guitar players is that you can load midi files into fruity i.e. drum tracks,or whole tracks even and use those to play along to whilst only actually recording your own guitar work yet using the midi backing track to keep yourself in time and in tune.
This can be a great way to begin building your own remakes of your favourite tracks whilst you get the feel for whats going on.
Sometimes i am sure you don't want to have to make a load of other tracks,you just want to jam right now.
To do this go to a good free midi file site and then when you have some of your fav midi files open fruity and click import midi.
Make sure that you have selected all tracks and then just click the tick symbol and away you go.
You will need some kind of vst instrument enabled though and set to port 0(zero) before you can hear any sound and if you need drums and normal sounds etc you will need a GM vst plugin.
If you get stuck or need any help just hit me up

im just sayin...loading someone elses drum track or music for your metronome isn't a true metronome...it's going to influence what comes out of you....and change your style....a real musican who is recording would never do this...it's too much work and just a general waste of time.....why would you want to record to someone elses beat....just use a metronome...christ.No worries.

...I am just saying there are a lot more steps to that and it truly will influence what someone is recording...you could never truly record one of your own songs with someone elses song playing in the background. how does that make sense? first of all...every song has a different tempo...so say he has a midi track going in the background but the song that he wrote is a different tempo then it won't work. and if he doesn't set...and use...his tempo he will never be able to make any cuts in the tracks....yes I am a real musician and I have been recording for years and years. i simply will state my overall point again....it is not the easiest way for Fdd to record his own music. either way...im sure he will get it figured out just fine...the first step to success is desire...and sorry if I at all came across as a dick earlier....just tryin to be helpful
