Take your pick from those effects, but if you find that task too overwhelming, I recommend starting with Hardcore.Click on the first slot and that should open a pop-up menu with a long list of effect plugins.

Just below the Mixer’s Audio Input Source there are about 9 effects (FX) slots.

If you want to increase the distortion or play around with some effects, you’ll first need to activate the VST plugins as follows: The Guitar should now be sufficiently audible through your speakers or headphones, however the sound at this point is still clean. On mine, it’s automatically set to the only option available there: FL Studio ASIO – Stereo: Out 1 – Out 2Īdvertisements Step 3: Using FL Studio Guitar Effect Plugins

For the output, check beneath the slots for the Audio Output Target menu.

On my computer, all three do pick up the guitar, but the mono ones sound a tad better compared to the stereo one.

Try every one of those input sources and find one which picks your Guitar.

Mine lists 3 input sources as follows (I think it might be necessary to have installed ASIO4ALL when installing FL Studio for this to work): Click it to reveal the input options which will vary with your individual setup.

On the Mixer’s top right corner, you should see the Audio Input Source drop-down menu.

If it’s not, toggle it by pressing F9 on your keyboard or by activating it from Toolbar > View > Mixer.

Make sure the Mixer is visible inside FL Studio.

With your guitar connected to your computer or laptop, launch FL Studio.

I’m using FL Studio 12 so that’s what I’ll use for this guide. Step 2: Connecting the Guitar in FL Studio
