    Thank you so much for such a straightforward and thorough tutorial! It can he frustrating trying to find info on TH-cam delivered in this manner. Seems like more people on here would rather talk about themselves extensively before finally delving into the subject matter in the title of their videos. This will be a very useful tool for me to get started recording my instruments on FL20

      you can just use reaper or studio one for guitar playing with plugins using a daw. they are more straight forward and the skills of these daws are interchangeable. fl studio workflow is more suited to making beats etc.

    To ensure a clean signal with an audio interface, you may want to connect the guitar to a DI box and the DI box to the interface. You can then get rid of ground loops and that annoying hum that sometimes plagues audio connections.

      Edit; i realize thats kinda vague
      I use the pod go from image line, its a digital “amp-sim” pedalboard so it acts an an amp and all my effects, if you have more money the helix line is more capable, plenty of other amps do this, but i like those with effects built in cause you can gate the noise before it hits the interface! Also i see this is real late

    I found out you can plug regular jacks into the front ports on the left. I thought they were special ones, didn't know the center worked for a jack plug.
    But theres a constant buzzing. Is there anything I can do about that?
    I have my guitar plugged into Input 1 on Focusrite. I have my headphones plugged into the Focusrite.
    In audio settings, device is set to Focusrite USB ASIO. ASIO panel doesn't open so can't choose input and output there if I'm supposed to be able to.
    In the mixer, the input is set to Focusrite USB ASIO - mono: Input 1.
    Output is Focusrite USB ASIO - stereo: Output 1 - Output 2. Its the only option.
    Would having a better cable help most with the constant buzzing sound?

    • @AaronMatthies

      When you say you want to record with effects but record clean, do you mean you want to hear the effects while you're playing but for the recorded file to be clean? If so, that's how it's set up by default. You can add an effect to a track then record and the recorded file will be clean, but you will hear the effects on the track while you record.

    What I get stuck with is recording more audio tracks. The mixer seems to have it's own way. Like I record one guitar and the next track I want to record gives also signal in the insert I just recorded. Something I don't see other DAWS do. The cables don't seem to change it nomather how I place them.
