As far as I can tell, distortion happens when you switched audio playback devices (FL, Youtube, whatever, FL). Switching the driver to something other than YOUR DRIVER and then back to YOUR DRIVER (ideally with loudspeakers off, might be loud otherwise) fixes the problem ~75% of the time.

Audible artifacts in FL Studio These are usually caused by ‘buffer underruns’. That is, the audio stream to the soundcard is interrupted when a temporary memory-buffer holding the audio data runs dry. This is caused by CPU and or Hard Disk overloading.

Go to: Options – Audio Settings – Audio and check what input/output device you have selected. Mine was the FL Studio ASIO, when I switched it to Primary Sound Driver, everything was working again, it actually started playing tracks.

What’s the different between the FL Studio ASIO driver and the ASIO4ALL driver? FL ASIO gives you the middle choice – can use inputs; lower latency than Primary Sound but higher than ASIO4ALL; lets multiple programs output simultaneously.

There are two common causes: VST library mismatches – Make sure you are using plugins that match your version of FL Studio (32 or 64 Bit). This uses more CPU than 32 Bit plugin on FL Studio 32 Bit or 64 Bit plugins on FL Studio 64 Bit.

You can use FL Studio 20 if you wish to stick to FL Studio, 2GB Ram is not sufficient for Music Production but FL Studio 20 has a new feature called “Freeze Track”.

Here are seven ways you can improve computer speed and its overall performance.

1. Uninstall unnecessary software.
2. Limit the programs at startup.
3. Add more RAM to your PC.
4. Check for spyware and viruses.
5. Use Disk Cleanup and defragmentation.
6. Consider a startup SSD.
7. Take a look at your web browser.

4 GB

If your audio interface does not have a native ASIO driver, use FL Studio ASIO. RAM: 8 GB is probably enough. Don’t install more than 32 GB of RAM, for music production. Spend the money on your CPU, audio interface, video card or plugins.

Yes, it will be fine with 4GB RAM andf core i-3 processors, but when you’ve many different types of compositions or effects then the process of music production will be a bit slow. For smoother performance I would recommend 8GB RAM for smoother performance.

We would still recommend getting a modern i5 or i7 so that your device remains functional for at least the next 3 to 4 years or even more. Moreover, you don’t require a dedicated GPU, so that’s one less component to worry about.

From my experience, two cores works but is bit on the low side. I would opt for at least four cores, but if you have the financial resources, choose 6 or 8 cores. 16 cores is a better option if you want to be future proof. But right now, the price difference is hardly worth the performance increase.

I like to look at 16 GB of RAM as the starting point for getting into music production. It will definitely provide you with enough power to get started, and learn some of the features that most DAW programs have.

Top 10 Best Laptops for FL Studio in 2021

• HP Envy 17t Touch Quad-Core Touch Screen Laptop.
• MSI GV62 8RD-034 (Best Affordable Laptop)
• Dell XPS 9570.

• ASUS ROG Strix Scar II.
• Dell G5587-7866BLK-PUS G5 15 5587 Gaming Laptop.

For Music Production you need a good configuration of a Desktop or a Laptop. In 2020 you need at least 8 GB of RAM in your system. This is the minimum amount of RAM you would need to run your DAW smoothly. You can still use a higher capacity of RAM and 16 GB is sufficient.

At the end of the day, it does feel just a bit smoother to use FL on a Mac compared to a PC. Another advantage to using a Mac for FL Studio is its compatibility with midi controllers. Since no drivers were required to install my Launchpad, I could simply plug it in and use it with no issues.

Now, with FL Studio 20, the software is officially available on OSX. Project sessions are compatible between Windows and Mac, and pre-existing FL Studio users can download the Mac version at no additional charge.
