I have a Roland kit i think its the td-4 so if i buy a cable it can plug in to my computer and record but does FL studios have this feature ???

I’m not sure if you want to record audio from the TD-4 sound module or if you want to record the notes you drum into FL Studio. Both are possible.

To record audio you need to route the module output to your computer input with an audio cable (and you will need to buy FL Studio Producer Edition or Signature Bundle, as cheaper versions don’t include audio recording), for the recording the notes you will need a MIDI connection with your computer. If the audio interface on your computer doesn’t have a MIDI input you can get a MIDI usb cable, something like this one: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Uno.html or this http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=732
Make sure to check the connection on your TD-4 so it’s compatible.

With your drums you can trigger virtual drum instruments like Toontrack’s EZdrummer from within FL Studio as well http://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=7

Anyway, if you are planning to record using your TD-4 you could get a cable and try the FL Studio demo to see how it’s working for you: http://demo.flstudio.com

It may be a little tricky to set up but I know it works for sure.

In case you end up getting FL Studio, you can get 10% discount on your first order from image-line with this promo link for new customers: https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAA468

Just make sure you get the right version. The demo is basically the same as the Producer Edition, except for some of the generators like Sytrus and Directwave that are only available in the Signature Bundle. You can compare the editions here: http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/editions.html

Good luck!
