    I have been playing the talkbox since 1992, and this is the best explanation of it I have heard yet on the internet. Kudos

    Hi there !
    I have just bought myself an Mxr M222 talkbox! The pedal is great really.
    Im using fl studio 10 for my production. I have a Presonus Usb 96 as my audio interface, and I am trying to figure out how to make my talkbox work!
    So im at the step where my sound in fl studio is setup to my audio interface sound device, so thats suppose to be ok. My two speakers (krk rokits) are connected to the headphones output on my audio interface. Then, I plus my talkbox input to my Presonus left input (as i saw in your video was the trick if i only had one right output and one left output).
    Thing is, the sound comes out of the talkbox just fine, but it is my whole computer sound that goes out of the talkbox! I am using a midi controller and a plugin synthetiser as my instrument, but the moment I play a song to jam my talkbox along, the whole song comes back at the talkbox, and also on my speakers too!
    I really am trying to find out how to configure this all up with the fl studio mixer interface to be able to talkbox only one instrument, via linking this said instrument to a track and then going into the output settings, but Ive tried everything i can think of!
    I really need some help, such a wonderful product!!
    Hope you will read this message, thanks for your time!
