Recording guitar in FL Studio Mobile works the same way as any other DAW. Once you’ve learned how to record guitar in one program, it’s a lot easier to bring that skill over to the next, considering they use the same gear and accessories.
The principles remain the same although the names of controls, the way you filter through menus, settings, and preferences, may differ. iPad and iOS DAWs are exciting to me because of the portability aspect of music production, especially related to guitar recording, but how is it done in FL Studio Mobile?
To record guitar in FL Studio Mobile 1) Connect an audio interface with a USB Cable and USB Adapter 2) Plug in your guitar with a 1/4” jack 3) Open FL Studio Mobile 4) Select the ”+” Button > Choose ”Audio Record” 5) Open the Rack > Add Input 1 6) Turn on Monitoring 7) Press Play to record
How To Connect Your Guitar To Fl Studio
And that’s it if you’re trying to record guitar in FL Studio Mobile. As you can see, it’s pretty easy and doesn’t take much time to set up at all. That said, there are some other things to keep in mind, in addition to various tricks and tips for recording that’ll make your workflow a lot smoother. Let’s take an in-depth look at this process and I’ll also share some of these tips with you…
By the way, I’m always on the lookout for deals in the music industry (there’s usually something if you know where to look). Right now, there are 3 deals that stick out to me and the’re for Amazon Prime Day
The gear you need to connect your guitar to FL Studio Mobile is pretty much the same across most smartphones with the exception of the adapters.

The adapters you’ll need to wire up your rig will vary depending on the type of your phone or tablet, but chances are if you’re reading this, you already have an idea of what adapters your device necessitates.
For this tutorial, I’m going to presuppose you’re using an iOS product like the iPhone or the iPad. Let’s talk about what adapters you need to use first.
The USB/Camera Adapter (on Amazon) is the best for the iPhone, whereas the USB-C Adapter (also on Amazon) will work just fine for iPad [and also the MacBook]

The Thunderbolt to USB Adapter, also called the USB/Camera Adapter, is a great one to get if you’re using an iPhone or a similar smartphone. As I explained in my guide on how to connect a Scarlett 2i2 to your mobile device, some smartphones don’t have the battery to power an audio interface like the Scarlett.
The same thing can be said for MIDI keyboards like the AKAI MPK Mini which are almost always buss-powered from your device. Simply put, the USB/Camera Multiport adapter has one port for the USB-C cable and then another for either a block charger or a power bank.
This means that if you need it, you’ll be able to connect an external power source if your device is unable to power the audio interface on its own.

One thing I should say though is that you’d be better off to get a more versatile multiport adapter if you intend on getting serious about mobile production. For instance, I have 2 multiport adapters that has at least one of all the most common connectors.
I have a multiport adapter that is very similar to the Kramer Kdock4 but it’s pretty expensive. If you want something a little more affordable, you can get one like this on Amazon instead. These will come in handy someday when you want to add multiple MIDI devices to your mobile DAW.
Regarding the audio interface, I would recommend either the iRig Pro I/O or the Scarlett 2i2 which we’ll talk a bit more about now.

Assuming you care about portability which you probably do if you’re using FL Studio Mobile on your device, the iRig Pro I/O is unquestionably the better device to use because it’s just so much smaller. It’s made for people who want to record on the road.
But the Scarlett 2i2, especially the 3rd generation model, is actually pretty small and there’s no reason why you can’t use it as well.
Because I, unfortunately, don’t own an iRig Pro I/O, I’m going to use the Scarlett for this tutorial. The price between the two devices varies depending on the retailer, so click on the links above to find out.

You’ll get the cables you need with the purchase of the audio interface, but if you didn’t for whatever reason, I’d recommend a long cable like this one on Amazon.
There’s not much to say about this one, but this is the exact cable that I’ve recommended in many other tutorials including in my guide on how to record acoustic guitar in GarageBand. It’s always better to be too long than too short, and this Amazon Basics cable is incredibly sturdy. I should’ve bought half-a-dozen.
The next cable that is the best to use is a right-angled guitar jack like the one shown above. You don’t have to get the Ernie Ball cable, but this particular style is my favorite to use.

The reason why right-angled jacks are better is they’re ideal for sitting because then your cable doesn’t jam into the couch or chair. I also find they last longer as a result of this.
There’s no force or tension on the weak part of the cable like is the case with the straight ones. If you stand a lot when you’re recording, it won’t matter as much, will it.
These are great headphones for portable music production (on Amazon) because they have a flatter frequency response. FYI, I linked to the latest edition because they’re better.

For whatever reason, iPhone and iPads aren’t able to output sound through their speaker whenever you connect an audio interface. I imagine they do this on purpose (so you have to buy more gear), but I digress.
Simply put, you’ll need either headphones or a speaker to listen to yourself playing and recording in FL Studio Mobile. And for that, you’ll also probably need a 1/4” to TRS (headphone adapter), at least if you want to connect your headphones to the Scarlett 2i2.
As I just said, if you want to use headphones or a speaker with your iPhone/iPad and a Scarlett 2i2, you’ll probably need one of these adapters to connect them.

The good thing is these little adapters are super cheap and you can grab like 10 of them at once on Amazon if you wanted. I would buy at least 5 of them, because if you work with people, they’re going to get stolen anyway.
To connect your guitar to FL Studio Mobile, you first have to connect a USB/Camera Adapter. Run the USB-C cable from the adapter to your audio interface, and then connect your guitar with a standard 1/4” instrument cable.
What’s shown in the image above is the long and short of how you would connect your guitar to FL Studio Mobile. If you wanted to connect your guitar to FL Studio Mobile on your iPad instead of your iPhone, you would be better to follow the diagram below instead:

To connect your guitar to FL Studio Mobile for iPad, you first have to connect a USB-C Adapter. Run the USB-C cable from the adapter to your audio interface, and then connect your guitar with a standard 1/4” instrument cable.
Thus far, I don’t see a real difference between the iOS and iPadOS versions of FL Studio Mobile. I recommend using the iPad version, just because iPads rule and are a lot more fun to use, in my opinion. Check out how my set-up looks down below.
I’ve got my iPad Pro running FL Studio Mobile connected to my AudioBox USB96 audio interface. I’ve also got my Les Paul Custom connected.

Obviously, the first thing you want to do is hook everything up like I showed you earlier. Open your FL Studio Mobile project, whether old or new, and then go into what’s called the Playlist.
The “Playlist” is the equivalent to GarageBand’s ”workspace.” It’s the place where you make tracks and can see everything from a bird’s-eye-view, so to speak.
With your new audio track highlighted, click on the tab on the right-side of the screen to open the channel rack. Select your input to whatever you’re using.

The next thing you want to do is ensure you’ve actually connected some headphones or a speaker to your device, otherwise, you won’t hear anything.
Hit the monitoring button to turn it on, and then strum your guitar once. It’ll glow a vibrant color depending on the color of the track.
Once you can hear yourself playing, go ahead and arm the track for recording. You do that by clicking on the record button next to the play button.

Usually, you won’t even have to do this because FL Studio Mobile is good at recognizing what you’re trying to do. If you find yourself unable to record, the record enable button could be turned off, so make sure it’s on. And that’s how you record
