make ur beat an MP3 or WAV then load it into Acid or Cool Edit or any program recording software . . . then after u record the vocals, mute the beat and render it into MP3, and then load that into FruityLoops . . . doin this will enable u to work the beat around the vocals . . . you can do some ill shit doin it this way
