You can do pretty much anything with FL Studio, including recording vocals etc (starting from the Producer Edition, it comes with ASIO in recording and has a lovely audio editor called Edison).

You can try the demo here: http://demo.flstudio.com
If you’d like to purchase it you can get 10% discount with this promo link (new customers only): http://support.flstudio.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAA468

Perhaps you’d also like to try Reaper, it’s uncrippled shareware so you can try it for a while and see how you like it: http://reaper.fm

I did all that, using FL Studio 8 Demo Version…

Now about, recording voice and putting it together with the beats, that’s where I’m lost too…

I REALLY don’t mean to discourage you but… here’s the real deal. It depends on what you mean by professional sounding. If what you mean is sound like what you hear on pro CDs and/or radio, then without a doubt you will need experienced professional help. (Unless you’re willing to spend the time, effort and then accumulate the experience the skills require… and why not !)

And that is if we’re talking about using software/programs like Protools or Digital Performer (both top programs I’d highly recommend even if you get them used/older versions) There’s a lot of programs out there. Most of the cheap, easy ones to use are just not going to cut it. (mainly because of the quality "plug-ins" you need to master the project)

To sum it up I’ll say that there are a lot of factors playing a role in making pro sounding recordings (and keep in mind that a quality recording does not guarantee good music either…) If what you want is pro quality, you should try to get at least a system capable of 24/48 bit resolution with mastering processing plug-ins. For the results you describe it’s worth taking the time to at least learn the basic recording techniques… If you cut corners you’ll spend money and time anyway but sooner or later you’ll realize you don’t sound like what you are after…

Best of Luck. The great sounding pro music we all love is a very involved job done by very qualified people. Hope my advice inspires you to approach your project in the same way.

I hear great things about a program called Fruity Loops. Never used it myself though.
