Thanks for the replies.
I was talking about audio recording, but as I understand from N-A-S-A's post, it's not very good also for it...
Anyway, I it seems like the problem was that the Creative Live driver doesn't have ASIO (learned a new word...), I got this kx thingy and now I can record, and I'll see how bad is it. |

ok, instead of listening to FL-haters... try this:
I don't know exactly what you want to achieve, but if it's recording a hardware synth via midi (and in sync) give this a go:
Create a midi out channel in FL, send midi out to your synth and record what you play in a wave editor (cool edit for example). MIDI latency and midi problems won't be a problem anymore because you can cut the 50ms (again example) latency in cooledit. tweaking and creativity in tweaking isn't a problem either because you can make your midi pattern as long as you want (f.e.: 128 beats) and you can make as much long rendered midi-synth samples as you want. Then put your samples in FL, assign a pattern per sample and put some additional efx on them (so they will sound even better than when you would just use midi).
So, I don't really agree on the matter that FL is good for loopies and some small time playing stuff.... it's how you use it! Not how people made you think about it ("bad sequencer man"). |

SuperGlue - I tried to do so but when I used the standard Creative driver, the input list was empty (just said "(None)")... Now with the ASIO device of kX i can choose a device... Are you sure it is possible to record using the Creative driver? Cause I really prefer to use a standard driver.
bandarlog - I was talking about recording from a microphone, but thanks anyway (: |

bandarlog i'm not fruity hater and if little know me so u know that i protect fruity more than u did , but i know it bad issues and hardware is one of them ........
and one more thing , did u ever tried to connect hardware to fruity and it's worked fine ? coz your way not explain me how to connect hardware
fruity is not full sequencer , it's looping tool that became cheap sequencer , BTW u can do anything in fruity what u can do in cubase if it's not hardware issue !

Superglue,
First of all, I wasn't taking a personal hit at you...It's just that everytime fruityloops comes up as an issue, people start rendering it to a simple loopmachine and it stubborns me.
And I actually don't have any problems using hardware according to the way I described it. FL midi-out to synth, record, tweak etc... back to FL with the big sample. Ok, I know latency is a problem and I can't use FL as an accurate MIDI sequencer, admitted... But you can't go as far as saying that it sucks as a sequencer, even if you use hardware. Most of my lead sounds are created via midi with fruityloops.
If you don't believe it can be a good sequencer, check out the song i will upload within the next two weeks. I'm not saying anything about sound quality cause I don't know the difference (don't use other sequencers and as I metioned enough and heared enough I don't have monitors) but as far as sequencing (song structure, automation...) an sich I can do just about whatever I want.
And I know you have written a lot of pro FL posts 
Amir happens: sorry, than I misunderstood you... but if I would record from a microphone, I think I wouldn't use FL either actually. (but than again: I never felt the urge to record my voice, just via hardware vocoder sequencet thru a hardware sequencer)

Not sure which version of Fruity you are using, but only the Producer Edition allows recording and it is via ASIO, so you will need to use an ASIO driver to do it (despite what was said above, Fruity only supports recording via ASIO). If you understand basic midi you will have no problem midi-synching just about any synth in the world to FLStudio (hell, I was synching synths to Fruity back in the 3.x days). The only thing you need to be careful about is your latency settings, as if they are a hair too much one way or the other, some of the midi notes get garbled, but that is just a matter of getting your latency in the right place.
Regarding Creative sound cards, I seem to recall a month or two ago they released new drivers with ASIO support, so if you haven't gotten them already, that might help. Audio recording in synch with the music does take a little more time to do than in, say, Cubase (which is much more geared to hardware use), but it is entirely possible and I used to do it all the time back when Fruity was my main sequencer.

OT! I know! Well, could be Superglue... but in the end it's just the results that count and one of my secondary goals is to release a song with FL only (except for mastering probably), just to make a point.
It could be and probably is so that other sofware is better and more accurate in some circumstances, but the way FL is put down here (and even more on other, less professional forums) by people (and I am not at all referring to you)who just don't understand it properly and make more crappy tunes in cubase than a trained FL-user would make in FL, is unbelievable. MIDI possibilities (like recording a hardware synth which is sequenced by FL) for example... Perfectly possible with a little imagination. |

again OT (in a way)
Convince me of what exactly? That I can't sequence hardware with FL? Actually, I do it all the time and guess what... no probs!
That other software is better in that issue? I know that, 's not my point.
Read my last post carefully... Only thing I wanted to make clear is that FL is put down TOO much as a music (and not only loops)creation tool. You don't have to convince me of anything, I'm not a retard who thinks that FL is as good as anything else in everything. Just too much dissing going on here and on other forums. If someone says: don't use fl for hardware issues, sure I'll counter that because I simply use it for that and it works fine. So what would you expect?
This is btw my last post about this matter, don't feel like argueing... |

Jikkenteki - I've downloaded the new Creative drivers, they do support ASIO but when I choose it it says I don't have any products that supoort ASIO... So I guess I'll have to use the kX driver. |
