Need help with audio recording in FL Studio

[Brickyard]

Hi I have FL Studio XXL 6.0 Producer Edition and I am trying to get to grips with recording onto songs using my guitars. I have tried reading the manual and doing what it says but for some reason I seem to be pretty dumb because I can't get it to do what I want it to do.

Whenever I set up an arrangement with my drums and percussion, I choose the option for one click recording and start recording my guitar parts which goes fine, now when I play them back the guitar is recorded but with the drums also recorded on the same channel again. Its really frustrating because when I go to record my bass guitar I get the drums and the guitar part re recorded again on my bass track. I nkow I must be doing somehting stupid, I am trying to get my guitar work in a stand alone channel so I an apply effects and stuff without them affecting the drums as well. Pretty frustrated at this point.

Can someone explain to me in easy terms how to record my guitar parts as audio tracks without getting the stuff form the master channel in with it as well.

For my audio input I am using an M-Audio FASTTRACK USB Midi Interface?

Anybody help! (I shoudl mention I am a beginner with most of the features on FL Studio)

Thanks

Thanks for the overwhelming response (just kidding)

Anyway I figured out what I was doing wrong for the most part. For those that want to know.

Select an unused channel and click on the icon for disk at the bottom and save with a name, make sure the channel is not linked to any others. Now when you click one click recording the dick icon for the main channel will pop up, unclick it during your count in (not easy holding a guitar). If you don't it doesn't matter, what will happen is after you finished your solo part you will end up with two new recorded channels, one will be your solo work and the other will be your solo plus the master channel, just delete that one. And thats how you do it. Now I am sure there is a way to stop that save feature poping up on the main channel during countdown and if I figure it out I'll post it.

Now that I know FL Studio 6 is a fully functional 64 track recording deck and mixer I am even more in love with this software and anyone who puts it down hasn't learned enough about it

Agreed. Now enter FL Studio 7. I am using it with Vista 64 Business and it works great. I'm an old ProTools and Sonar guy who has opened my eyes to FL Studio and I find myself using it more and more as I learn it's workflow.

The only two stable (as of my writing this) DAW software in Vista is FL Studio 7 and Sonar 6.2. There may be others I haven't tried but I've tried a lot. I also have Tascam, MOTU, RME hardware working with FL Studio in Vista. Having 16GB RAM and multiple processors really helps keep the process moving.
