The only solution to this problem is to lower your buffer length settings ( there are limits), disable the Mics send-to-Master Mixer track or obtain a new audio device with Direct Monitoring. For example, low latency monitoring is particularly important to vocalists as high latencies cause a distracting echo effect. There can be a troublesome delay between the sound made and it being reproduced from your speakers or headphones. If this is not the case, the latency of USB microphones depends on the Buffer Length setting. Some USB microphones do have a headphone jack and can operate as an audio output device. Note about latency: USB microphones generally only allow you to hear the sound being recorded after it has passed through FL Studio. Longer cable runs, direct monitoring (although some USB mics feature this, so look for it) and the option to use the highest quality microphones and mic preamps. Haven't purchased a mic yet, we recommend using a traditional analog mic connected to FL Studio through a external audio device for the widest compatibility and utility in the studio. NOTE: While there is no technical reason for a USB microphone to be inferior to a traditional analog-output microphone, USB mics can compromise your positioning, routing and monitoring options. After these steps you can review the normal recording procedure.
