i just bought this
it seems to eat alot more resources than 6, opening this
file i had in 6
i even turned on the multi threading support
anybody else experience this
maybe i'll go back to 6

Never tried that version, but try going into

/Options

/Audio settings

/Directsound properties

And turn it up...

yes, sorry, i'm familiar with this (though i don't know what
polling is, but use my soundcards asio normally, because
it's louder and faster and better)

i kicked out some channels (selected 'switch smart disable
for all' in macros as well) but it didn't seem to help much

i fiddled around just a little bit, and came to the
conclusion this version uses more cpu. i guess this is
normal for a newer version

i'm just wondering wether someone has an estimate of how
much more heavy it could be..

hm at least i can load a lot more vsti with asio4all instead
of the default audio driver.

did you correctly set up your audio driver as it was in fl6?

I have no idea why it should consume more CPU. Logically, it
should have some feature, that it uses all of the time.

I cant really help you, as i'm still spitting out hits on my
FL studio 5

you're right at that too

i think i have pretty much the same setup, i'll try some
more tomorrow

i have tried that asio4all cx (and the fist time i got a
blue screen of death :(
but it seems the asio of my m-audio firewire is better

My guess is, that the default of some weird setting is
higher than the old versions, and therefore consumes more
CPU. Not much concrete help!

Use Ableton Live 7 instead.

lol ok.

seriously I really recommend checking out ableton live. I
used to think FL was immense, the best there was, til I
started using Live.

you could as well stay at FL5

and i haven't had such cpu problems since i've been on dual
core, with average built-in soundcard

Yeah I've noticed FL7 is more hungry for CPU than FL6 but I
use Orion Platinum which is lighter on the CPU than any
version of FL specially with CPU heavy VST's.

Are you using the version 7 stable or the 7.4 beta 2?

In options / audio untick safe overloads. Interpolation
should be either linear or 6 point hermite. Linear uses less
CPU but on any reasonably modern computer you should be able
to use 6 point hermite, which sounds better for repitching
things in the sampler channels.

In options / general untick ultrasmooth visual feedback and
smooth scrolling.

Are you getting crackling and dropouts?

hi
i didn't know safe overloads should be off
image line told me to get this:
http://www.tucows.com/preview/209204, the file is called
flstudio7_RC6b.exe, so i don't know what version it is
exactly.

i installed fl 6 now as well so i'll use that a bit longer,
wouldn't mind getting fl 5 as well but i don't know where to
get that.

sano: your avatar is going to give me nightmares

v5

I really like v7 though. There's a link to the 7.4 beta 2 on
your my flstudio page when you log into the site.

fl6 is running lousy as well
i changed the location of 'my documents' from another disk
to the same disk as my c:\, but on another partition i made,
maybe that screwed up my windows, though i wouldn't
understand why
i'm now running a virusscan

Look at the buffer size of the m-audio ASIO driver. What is
it set to now? Try setting it to 512, see if it's stable,
then set it lower and see how that works, until you get the
best latency / stability balance.

The other option is to set it as low as it can go in the
M-audio ASIO driver control, then use ASIO4All as the driver
in FL, and do the same as above - set ASIO4ALL to 512 and
see if it can go lower.

Are there other sound cards active in your computer? Like a
Realtek onboard chipset or something? It can help to disable
any other sound card in the Windows device manager.

asio4all crashed my computer again, i desinstalled it. i
think the m-audio asio is pretty good anyway

maybe i didn't use this on out of two reverbs when playing
it live to myself though and that was the whole thing

sux reverb can use so much anyway

How fast is your 'puter? What model of chip? Intel pentium
D? Celeron? Core duo? Pentium M in a laptop?

And for the last time: WHAT IS YOUR BUFFER SIZE SET TO?

it's a intel pentium 4 3 ghz with ht technology and 800
cache
i have two gig of ram and the pagefile set to 2 to 4 gig
the asio is set to 2048 samples, that's the highest, that
prevents underruns right?

Disable the hyperthreading in the bios.

that made the sound disappear.. also just with foobar
i guess that makes no sense

i've cleaned my system this week and have removed the fan
from the cpu and put it back, but i didn't have the glue,
maybe it's running less good now, though it's not
overheating notably

Your problems are always so intractable. Try bothering them
at the official support forum. Maybe you can get Gol to tell
you that you're an idiot and your computer is made out of
fried chicken.

yea i'm not a big fan of support tbh
i'll try some stuff myself, maybe it's my computer, maybe
it's my windows, maybe it is a floop setting after all

thanks though, turning off hypertreading was a smart idea
