Hi Amir,
Welcome to Yamaha Synth. In order to begin recording with a computer system requires assembling the proper equipment and making the connections. There are several levels of doing this and you will need to make some decisions in order to proceed.

The reface CS can generate two kinds of data. Midi data and Audio. Midi data, which can document a musical performance through a series of coded messages that translate key presses and controller movements into a data stream that can trigger the CS when you play it back. Audio data, can be recorded into a format for common distribution and represents what we commonly call "audio sound recording".

The USB connection between your reface CS and computer is MIDI data only.
If your goal is to do sound recording you will need to get an "audio interface". The job of an audio interface is get audio into and back out of the computer. To record the "sound" of the reface CS you must connect the Left/Right outputs of the instrument to your audio interface.

The audio interface will prepare the data for the computer, where it can be recorded by your software (FL Studio), it will then travel back to the audio interface which will send audio to your speakers. Please see the documentation that comes with your DAW software (FL Studio) on setups and types of recording you can do.

Thanks,
you mean i'm going to need an external audio card right?

If you want to record audio, yes. And a pair of speakers to connect to that audio interface.

Im using an Irig Pro Duo for audio import duties. It can run on batteries or be powered over usb. It can be interfaced with PC/Mac, iOS or Android. It also has a midi interface if you need that. It's very small, about the size of two decks of playing cards.

Battery life is only good for 1-2 hours. But if I use it with the Apple lightning Usb3 camera kit, I can power both the Irig and iPad from one lightning cable. The Irig branded power kit isn't recommended for the Pro Duo.

tnx ppl.
with my first salary in my bank acc, now im going to buy one of these. which one do u recommend?

Steinberg UR-12
Steinberg UR-22
Behringer UMC22
