If you are starting from scratch and want to create a template, these lanes should already be empty however, if you are working with a project with sequencing already in it, or a template with empty patterns already plotted out, you will want to right click on the Playlist Track indicator (the leftmost column) on the topmost track, and select “Insert One” (do this as many times as you want for the number of audio recording tracks you think you’ll need). The first thing is to create at least a couple of empty playlist lanes at the top – you can name or color code them if you like.
Those are the known issues, so we must create a recording environment on the playlist that accounts for those nuances. The playlist audio recording in FL Studio has been, and still remains, an odd experience where the audio file shows up in the topmost playlist lane that is empty for the length of the recording (note: that the audio recording will only be as long as the selected playlist area length, and if you continue to record in a loop it will create numerous recordings that could contain a bit of a hiccup at the beginning of the loop).
