If you know FL Studio, HELP!!!

Re: If you know FL Studio, HELP!!!

I had this problem and it was because of lack of RAM. The kind of lag you would get due to your processor would be different I would assume. All I remember is I turned down some cache or something and it fixed it perfectly, however I'm running 2GB of RAM.

hey man -- you just need a better, or faster computer. or decrease some shared ram with video mem into sound driver space. really, the limitation here is your computer, not FL.

I have had that problem with a lot of softwares. I had to update my hard drive to a faster one, and get more RAM. Then I also played with the buffer. I agree with alot of what everyone has posted. Especially checking the settings of your sound card. if you have a stock sound card you might want to upgrade to a better one. M-Audio/Digidesign has the Delta Series for pretty cheap. One thing that has been true for me is that the more complicated my music, the more complicated computer I have had to run to make it work.
Check out some FL tutorials online for free. I also know this guy at www.beatclass.com who makes really good tutorials and knows alot about FL Studio. He might have really good info.
Here is a tutorial that we did, it doesn't really address your problem, but I am posting the link anyway because it is one of our producers making a beat in FL Studio 9.
Good Luck

Hahaha, my laptop has 6gb RAM and I still run it practically to the ground with some of my processing. 8)

RAM isn't really a big deal with FL, unless you're loading loads and loads of 32-bit FP 96 kHz audio clips or something silly. It's only 32-bit program, so it can't address more than 3 or so gigs of RAM anyway.

Processor speed and soundcard are the main bottlenecks when it comes to having a lot of generators and effects, particularly if you're running at a higher sample rate or you're oversampling in anything.
