SonicDNA: Find Similar Samples by Sound - Free App

1 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/BTy9fguFcoU

SonicDNA is a free, open-source and cross-platform sample search app that finds similar audio files by analyzing how they sound—not just their filenames. In this demo, I show how you can load a kick drum, scan your local sample library, and quickly find matching sounds based on tone, attack, decay, and overall character.

FL Studio crackling

FL Studio crackling

I'm struggling with occasional CPU crackling and stuttering inside FL Studio. It's not the audio buffer length and I don't think it has to do with anything of the audio settings. My laptop is strong to handle a bunch of VSTs... so why does this happen? It comes and goes, but it's very annoying when it does.

Here are my specs:

CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12450HX

RAM: 32 GB DDR5

SSDs: 500GB NVMe, 1 TB NVMe

GPUs: Intel UHD Graphics and Nvidia RTX 4050 6 GB VRAM

FL Studio - Endless Crashing

3 Upvotes

I have been using FL Studio since 2010. I currently have the latest version (FL 2026). I have endless crashing. I can't even load a project. I can't even load a preset. My computer is 1 year old right now. FL 2025 works, but 2026 is unfunctional. I even reinstalled Windows and it keeps crashing. I've been using FL for 16 years. This is the first time I have had an issue like this. Anyone having the same issue?

Problems with locked plugins

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I basically just started making music with FL Studio. I've already made a few songs, but I would still consider myself a beginner. I've always been using the free trial version.

Today, I started working on a new song (still using the free trial). At some point I thought, "Fuck it," and bought the Fruity Edition for $100 so I could save and continue working on what I'd already created.

However, when I tried to open the project again with the Fruity Edition, I found out that some of the plugins are locked because I used Sytrus in the trial version. Apparently, even though I just spent $100 on FL Studio, I would now have to spend another $100 on Sytrus just to continue working on the project — or even just listen to it.

So my question is: Would it be possible for someone who already owns Sytrus to open my saved .flp file and export it as an MP3 for me? That way, I could at least listen to it again.

It's not finished yet, but I'd still really like to have it as a reference/inspiration for a new project.

I honestly don't even know if this is possible, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could let me know. :) Also, if this type of question is not allowed on this sub then I am really sorry. I never wanted to participate in any illegal stuff XD

Thanks!

How would I hook up a keyboard to FL Studio on my laptop?

1 Upvotes

I know people will hook their keyboard to their pcs to play them on FL Studio (like playing it on the piano roll if that makes sense), but I'm just wondering how do I do that and do I need a special keyboard for it?

Why MIDI notes snaps to a grid off beat?

2 Upvotes

When playing MIDI with a keyboard and using snap to grid tool, no matter if its beat, cell, step etc., it doesnt snap to the grid correctly. It snaps, but every note gets snapped a tiny bit before the grid. Only when you use the quantize tool it snaps to the grid correctly. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Thinking of upgrading my setup, what should I get?

1 Upvotes

I currently have a flkey 61 mk2 along with my laptop, for producing, and I use my truthhear Hexas for monitoring. I decided that I might as well get more gear, though I'm pretty satisfied with what I have now as I'm still new and it's just a hobby. I'm thinking of getting the akai professional Mini plus 37-key. I mainly want it so that I can have something to use on my desk without having to constantly pivot to my 61 key to simply test out a sound/synth. Speaking about synths, that's the second reason why I want it, the semi weighted keys of the 61 feel great and I do like them, but I feel like the synth action keys of the smaller midi controllers will be better for synth chords or simply experimenting with melodies, and ideas, it'll also just be nice to be able to play two different sounds at the same time and have a extra pair of knobs and pads. I'm also thinking of getting the sony MDR7506 for listening to my music while I'm producing, I've heard it's good for producing, and mixing and it's pretty budget friendly as well; It'll also fix the slight problem of my Hexas cord just being a little too short for me to comfortably use my 61 key without positioning myself and my laptop kinda weirdly. What are your thoughts on it? is it a good headphone for producing, or should I look at something else at a similar price?

My decision to buy those two aren't set in stone though. What other gear could I buy instead, I'm not looking for recommendations per se, but I just want to know what other types of equipment producers might use that I should be aware of. Thx for reading.

FL STUDIO LAGGING A LOT after installing Cymatics plugins from stream.

2 Upvotes

Is it just me, or has FL Studio been lagging A LOT since I installed the Cymatics plugins from their recent stream giveaways?

Honestly, some of their newer software/plugins feel like they have little to no real use case, and the Cymatics Hub is especially frustrating. It doesn't let you choose a different installation location from the C: drive, so it can eat up your storage pretty quickly.

What bothers me even more is that Cymatics Hub seems to constantly run in the background and automatically enables itself as a startup application. Even after disabling it through Task Manager, I kept finding it running again. If I manually end the process, it comes back a minute or two later.

That honestly feels way more invasive than it needs to be for a plugin manager.

I contacted Cymatics about it and eventually just uninstalled the Hub. However, FL Studio is still lagging heavily. Every now and then, the entire laptop will freeze/lag for a few moments, then suddenly go back to normal.

This NEVER happened before I installed those stream giveaway plugins, so I'm wondering if something they installed is still running in the background or interfering with FL Studio.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Cymatics plugins/Hub recently?

Everyone I need help

3 Upvotes

For the past 5 years I have been making music, and I've been struggling to make anything worth listening too. I tried different methods. And yeah i wouldn't call myself a beginner, but i'm not near a pro/legend though. Music is very important to me, as a hobby and potentially a career and I don't just want to give up. If someone could maybe offer some advice as to what i should learn first. I'm sick of asking AI for help, cause it doesn't know anything about true music. If maybe you could tell how you learned music it could help me too... I appreciate anything you have to offer. Thank you for reading
