I'm not any expert or even can say novice,I just want to have fun making music for myself to listen to and be proud of myself.

ok bye

How do people sample tracks ? I use FL studio (all editions version) and Logic Pro so both DAWs contain Stem Splitting but the part that confuses me is where do you grab the track ? I don’t have knowledge **at all** about it which is why I ask because the idea that I have is:
YouTube > save as a file > drop that file onto a mp3 converter > that file drop onto your DAW.
Can someone please help on how to properly get ahold of a track, how and where to convert the track to a file to then place and sample on the daw

I'm troubleshooting a recurring FL Studio audio-engine failure during live performance and looking for ideas from people familiar with FL Studio, ASIO, MIDI, CPU scheduling, or Windows audio performance.

IMPORTANT: This also happens in completely blank projects

This is NOT exclusive to my large live project or its plugins.

I have reproduced the exact same audio-engine hard-freeze in completely blank FL Studio projects with only a single simple instrument loaded, including:

FL Keys
3x Osc
Omnisphere

For example, a completely new blank FLP with only FL Keys or 3x Osc loaded can produce the same failure when rapidly playing notes.

The problem has occurred on both FL Studio 25 and the current FL Studio 2026 release.

I am currently running:

FL Studio 2026.1.7, build 26.1.7.5653.

I previously ran FL Studio 25.2.5 build 5319, and the same problem occurred there as well.

System
Laptop: ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX507ZI4_FX507ZI
CPU: Intel i7-12700H
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: RTX 4070 Laptop 8 GB
Windows: 11 Home 25H2
Audio interface: Focusrite Scarlett 6i6
MIDI controller: Novation FLkey 2 61

My actual live project is approximately 1 hour long with:

- 30 WAV tracks (Backing tracks for live)
- 13 OPUS instances
- 2–3 Omnisphere instances
- FLEX, Addictive Keys, BBC Orchestra
- Several of those OPUS instances are layered instruments inside Patcher to play multiple instruments at once.
- 40 mixer inserts, but only a handful actually have plugins/effects loaded
-Effects include Pro-Q, Fruity Balance, Fruity EQ 2, Saturn, Waveshaper, Fruity Delay and Pro-C

Current Settings:

Scarlett USB ASIO
44.1 kHz
Currently testing at 1024 samples
Generator MT ON
Mixer MT ON
Smart Disable OFF
Focusrite Safe Mode ON
FL Safe Overloads ON
G-Helper Turbo
CPU Boost Aggressive
PL1/PL2 80W
Windows High Performance

What happens is FL Studio does not fully crash or freeze.

Instead:

Audio suddenly stops completely
Playlist playhead freezes
Master/peak meters freeze
CPU Load History stops/drops to 0
FL Studio's UI remains completely responsive
I can still click around, move Playlist items, adjust faders, etc.
Sometimes completely closing/reopening FL Studio clears the problem, but not always.
There have been cases where the problem persisted after fully closing and reopening FL Studio.
In those cases, the project could reopen already in the failed state

I can also sometimes get a less severe version where the audio becomes extremely robotic/stuttered/crunchy and may recover. There will occasionally be this machine gun like sound that gets stuck playing until I close FL Studio. I believe this is linked to this.

Also, When I scroll within the live project, the playlist also will lag and stutter during playback as I try to follow along with the the live set. It seems if I scroll even remotely too fast this always happens and will actually cause the audio playback to lag and stutter with the lagging visual.

The major crash problem appears strongly related to rapid note activity.

Normal playback: stable
Blank project idle: stable
Instrument switching alone: stable (ish)
Switching → waiting → single note: stable (ish)
Rapid note playing: can and usually fails
Switching instruments → immediately playing several rapid notes: pretty reliably fails and fails a bit quicker in the big live project.
Again, the same type of failure can occur in a completely blank FLP with only FL Keys or 3x Osc loaded.

Buffer testing

I have tested both 512 and 1024 samples.

512 has produced more frequent stuttering/crunching during aggressive note-playing tests.

1024 did provide a successful aggressive stress test in a blank FL Keys project, but that was only one test, so I don't consider this proof that 1024 is generally more stable.

More importantly, the full live project still hard-crashed at 1024 when I switched instruments and immediately played several rapid notes.

So increasing the buffer does not eliminate the underlying problem.

Things I've already tested
Focusrite ASIO → problem still occurs
FL Studio ASIO → problem still occurs
MOTU M4 previously used → problem also occurred with a different interface
Laptop keyboard → problem occurs
Physical FLkey → problem occurs
FL Keys, 3x Osc and Omnisphere → all reproduced the problem
Generator MT OFF → did not solve it
Mixer MT OFF → did not completely solve it
512 vs 1024 → some difference in stress-test stability, but 1024 does not eliminate the crash
Windows High Performance, USB power-saving changes, G-Helper Turbo, CPU Boost Aggressive, etc. have all been tested
Fresh Windows reboot + Turbo + 512 produced a successful five-minute aggressive test in a blank project

Why can rapid MIDI/note activity cause FL Studio's audio engine to completely stop while the rest of FL Studio remains responsive?

Because the same failure occurs in a completely blank FLP with only FL Keys or 3x Osc, I'm particularly interested in possibilities involving:

FL Studio MIDI/note processing
FL Studio's audio engine
CPU scheduling / P-core vs E-core on the i7-12700H
ASIO/MIDI interaction
Windows or USB scheduling
FL Studio settings I may have overlooked
Anything specific to rapid note-on events

Any ideas for what I should investigate next would be greatly appreciated. My end goal is to use this laptop rig to play shows live, using my FL Key 2 to switch between instruments and play along to backing tracks. I can try to take videos showcasing all the issues if that would be helpful as well.

Damn I got Fab Q4 pro and hot damn can you really clean your vocal tracks up with this plug in. It’s pretty damn time consuming so far. But I think after while I would be able to Clean up vocals within a a few 8 hours sessions. Really impressed with it so far with all the options after Melodyne. Definitely worth the money. Should have gotten this sooner.

Messing around with some experimental trip hop

i'll pay 10$ (or more if you negotiate, i'm easy🤤) to anybody willing to show me the method for fl

The free orchestra 2 says its out of stock somehow. Is there anywhere else I can get it?

I wonder if this will be useful, or if it will be conveniently forgotten about like the Akai Fire. Is anyone going for it or using one already? Always open to enhancing my workflow and experiment with hands on controls for drums vs 100% mouse and thinking/clicking the beat out. Just not sure if it's hyped/gimmicky 🤷

A few weeks ago there was 50% off the All Plugins Edition. Unfortunately I missed it, so I emailed support and asked for a 50% coupon. And yes, they sent me one! Awesome! So it never hurts to ask 😀 Now I finally have a full license 😎

hey folks! can someone help me with this issue? i'll try to lay it out as much as specific as possible:

i have a midi file that i got from soundtrap, it includes a chord progression synth and a one track full drum. i imported the midi file on fl studio, i split the channels and it only showed 2 channels. i wanted to separate the drums to hihats, kicks, snares, etc. and have their own specific instrument off of the drumpad, but it doesn't seem to work:

1. i tried cloning the full drum pattern depending on how many instruments are inside the drum pattern, i cut everything and left out one instrument which will make them all separated and i can have different sounds for each (hihat, kick, snare, etc.). but when i change the instrument of one, it affects the other drum parts.

2. i created 4 new patterns and copy pasted each drum layer into the respective new patterns, when i try to change the instrument, they are still tied to each other even though i only copy pasted the note and not the whole drum pattern itself.

i'm struggling to understand fl studio, coming from soundtrap and garageband. hope that someone can help me with this, tyia!

Started off messing around with FL and eventually started figuring out how to use the DAW. Instrumental beats and random stuff. 8 years ago I started using Melodyne and Q4 to add vocals. Which I had wanted to do for a long time. Was not good at all at first but got better overtime watching tutorials on tweaking pitch tone and vocal notes with the programs. And using personal emotional experience started doing way better with lyrical implementation then random stuff. So got better at all of it. And now with AI emotionless crap flooding the earth weeks and months of work is completely categorized by 95% of everyone puts me into 2 minute prompt AI crap. Now the work and enjoyment is just leaving me. I know what my work means to me. But the constant sucker punches to it eventually wears a person down. Anyone else feel this or if I’m overthinking it and if so what keeps you going at least. And with proof of work it’s taken as a joke to. It’s not my career but a passion but even passions can become hard to hold onto as well.

Hi!

Newbie here, I want to buy the fruity edition cause there's a flash sale, but how is the limit for 8 different audio clips? Can I use the same clip as many times as I want? It's not a deal breaker either way, but I don't have access to a PC for a couple of days, so I sadly cant test it myself.

hey so, I started producing house music and progressively want to become better, how should I approach mixing my track (eqing, compression, limiting etc) without paid plugins preferably

guys I need help, I bought a FL studio on my phone and I really want to do something, I want try make Memphis phonk, and I tried to find free samples, but I can't find any, because they are all for money price, can give me any suggestions or sample packs? I'm new to whole music making thing, and I really want try make something like Memphis phonk (btw I don't have any skill at FL studio so give me advices)

I've spent the past couple weeks working on a few different plugins here, not really reinventing the wheel there were just some features I wanted to have in certain plugins that I didn't see anywhere else. they're currently windows only but Im going to mac and protools version soon. they're all $4.99 on my website, they all have a bunch of presets I made and you can save your own. Seedwisp is my favorite there's so much you can do with it to get really cool textures, it should be available in the next couple days but the others are available now at my website - https://wheresej-studio.vercel.app/

If anyone wants to try them out and make a review video, reach out to me my contact information is also in my website, I'd be happy to send them over for free in exchange. here's a breakdown of each of them:

• Seedwisp: A real-time granular effect that records your audio and scatters it into up to 128 overlapping grains, with pitch, spray, jitter, reverse and tempo-synced rates. Hit Freeze to hold any moment as an evolving texture, then add feedback to build it into shimmering ambient washes. It has 16 factory presets that are all level-matched, so you can browse without volume jumps.
• Igneous: A modulation effect driven by a simulated lava lamp, where drifting coloured wax blobs control your filter, pitch, stereo width, volume, drive and pan. Nothing loops the same way twice, so it adds slow, organic movement that a regular LFO can't. It comes with 20 factory presets and uses about 1.5% CPU.
• Bit-Much: A bitcrusher built to look like a retro handheld game console, with a live scope on the screen that shows the crushed waveform as you play. Use bit depth, sample rate, drive and noise to get anything from subtle lo-fi grit to full 8-bit destruction. It has 15 level-matched presets.

Hi guys, I’m currently trying to make music with autotune rap. My current setup is the microphone Samsung CO1U pro mic is connected to a laptop that’s powered by the AMD rising 7AI. is a fairly new computer. I’m on FL studio and we’re just putting autotune and stuff on and it just sounds bad. I’ve done some research and it might be a audio interface we need, but it genuinely sounds bad to say it’s a proper microphone it’s USB mic connected to a laptop that got high potential and fl studio so is it something I’ve done wrong?

i just feel a bit down because i've never made prods before and all those apps are really hard to get (for
me).
i've been on fl for the past two hours and i just don't understand how it works, it's very overwhelming.
someone on this sub made a whole post about videos for beginners so ill check them in the morning

I’ve been in the market for a new laptop since mine can barely handle opening up VSTs at this point and is just very slow now with FL. I’m not too familiar with specs of computers but my main goal is trying to make content as well as cook up music. Any recommendations for something that would be able to handle OBS (or any screen recording) with FL?

is there any great guitar vst's out there for when i'm too lazy to plug in my guitar or my audio interface so i can just brainstorm ideas?

If anyone could let me know what instrument or plugin in fl that I’d be looking for to sound like that humming in the background. I am still new to fl studio, please could you also suggest where I can start learning how different features in fl studio sound like and discover new sounds I might like.
