Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do because for my workflow FL just cannot work in regards to recording my rap vocals. It is too tedious and too much work. I had my entire beat arrange in FL and started to record vocals but it was just too much work and too confusing because I recorded alot of material. I am either thinking about just exporting loops from FL and record in another program. Or export the entire arrangement from FL separated by tracks and then mix and record vocals in another program. However with the second option that would give me alot of whole tracks in regards to disk space when they are really just one track. My other option is to just record the vocals in another program and import into FL to mix. Help with some suggestions.

I'd say the last option was the best (import back into fl after recording in another prog.) i'm still of the thinking flstudio is a "loop maker" though, so haven't got a clue about 99% of the things you can actually do with it. All that playlist crap seems so pointless to me...like giving yourself a headache just to acknowledge you have a head.

What Reverse Engineer just said. Do your vocals on (say) a hard disc recorder, or in some other simple app with a metronome running and/or a simple basic drum track of the right sort ticking away in your ear.

Then stitch it together in FL.

What exactly is the problem? I'm happy with recording my guitar playing in FL

Usually I do all my arrangement in FL, export the track to an MP3 or something small, and then record the vocals in say, Audition. Once Im all done with my vocals (dry) I import the individual vocal tracks (Main vocals, background vocals, vocoded, Harmonies, etc.) and then mix them in FL. That way if the vocals suggest a change in the beat, you can edit it right then and there. Plus, the FL Studio plug ins are pretty good for what I do, specially in version 6.

Good advice.

And a nice tidy scheme for a more elaborate vocal mix.
