| Noobie-Want to add a voice track to fruity loops |
 |
|
I have sonar (Cakewalk) and Fruity loops 7 (Barely know how to use them) But I did make a nice instrument and drum mp3 successfully.....I was hoping I could just use my sound card (Creative Audigy and get a USB Mic and playback the instrument file and lay an audio (Voice track over it) Was told I couldnt ...got a M-audio interface (USB) and the fruity loops MP3 I made just crackles and messes up terribly when I play it through the audio interface....tried to record the audio anyway and the audio and music file did not sync up at all!!! Is there any type of Mic I can get that I can just listen to my mp3 and lay a voicetrack using my computers audio card...please help....I get so frustrated with the hardware software stuff that I just could scream sometimes!
Waiting for a gentle reply!  |

heres the way i've been doing it for a long time. it sounds complicated but it is actually very simple.
My setup is a standard performance mic pluggged into a keyboard amp (it should be a preamp) plugged into my laptop's standard soundcard. Ive never worked with a usb mic before. sounds interesting though maybe you need drivers or something for your mic? sounds ridiculous but that might be the case!
I use audacity to record the vocals. (audacity is a very simplistic, stable, free audio recorder) I render the FLP file to a WAV format and open it up in audacity. When you hit the "record" button in audacity it automatically plays whatever else you have set up.'sometimes' the vocals don't line up right when recorded in audacity. to fix that, before you record, hit the left arrow button in audacity.
once your finished with the vocals, render the vocal track to a WAV. Put the WAV in a sub folder of the folder 'data' underneath 'patches'. open back up the song in FL studio and look for the vocal track in the sample browser on the left drag the sample into the area on the bottom of the playlist. you should see a rectangular bar with a picture of the sound waves inside it labeled as your vocal sample.
this way lets you put the same effects on the vocals as some of your instruments (IE matching up your delay) It is also easiest to EQ everything at once instead of eqing one instrument at a time or the instrumentations seperate from the vocals. there are also A LOT of very cool things you can do with samples in FL studio.
If you can here the song in the background of your vocals and don't want to, (say you want to change part of it once the vocals are finished) their isn't much you can do. audacity has noise removal, but as with any noise removal, it removes more then noise. so try rendering maybe just a simple drum track of your song or maybe just one instrument. instead of everything.
I hope this helps and good luck! heres the link for audacity.
