the best would be connecting the violin output to a mixer input then calibrate gain, tone eq, etc; and then record the sound to a digital source (DAT, Digital Audio Recorder) or directy to your pc, but with a good sound card, Idon't think a laptop would have a good sound card and good line input, i would recomend a tower pc at least.

Kiddo has laid down the basics of a song using a keyboard, midi out to USB to a laptop with Windows 10 running FL Studio. So far so good. Sounding pretty good. Now he has an electric violin with a 3.5mm output. He tried inputting that to the microphone input of the laptop and the results have been strange. My question is - it that the best input method for adding audio from an electric violin or electric guitar to tracks already laid down in FL Studio? Or should he be using some other interface to USB and/or other software to add this layer? Thank you.

FL Studio on Windows 10 laptop: How to add an electric violin track?

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
