I'm trynna record rn and after a few minutes it starts crackling and s*** and I can barely hear the music
I have to keep closing and reopening the app to get anywhere
It's never done this till now either idk why

increase your buffer size

or u just have a s*** pc like i did

I thibk this is it lmfaoo, changing the buffer helped but it just prolonged the time till it sounded like s***, but I can switch down the buffer size then up again instead of opening and closing the app

yeah i really wish fl had a convert to audio from midi option you can record it through edison but i find that annoying

Yeah Edison a pain in the ass, are there other options or nah?

Oh wait you're talking about instrumentals lmaoo, I don't produce tho I rap lol

switch to the ableton life

it's asio f***ing up, s*** use to happen to me

Make sure all your sample rates are the same on all speakers and s***

this works too

Buy an audio interface. I used FL studio for years without one and when I finally got an interface the change in audio quality was very apparent.

Try Reaper. It's free and isn't too crazy on the computer. Also really easy to use if you just want to record vocals.

reaper.fm

like when you click right on a pattern and pick render as audio clip?

You can lol

There's even a "record as audio clip" option as well

You can record vocals straight into the playlist without edison

Just route it through the mixer & pick record as audio

And yeah, your computer is probably just s*** or your cpu is overloading. You can reduce stress on cpu overload by exiting out of unnecessary programs during usage, disconnecting wifi on your laptop/desktop, or by suspending the processes of background programs (this last one is usually the one with the best result).

CPU overload &/or s***ty computer will be a problem for any daw.

It can happen to any PC, but CPU memory are more prone to overload on crappier computers as well.

Thread convinced me that those that hate on FL (even tho its the Rap industry standard, then Abelton then Logic for beats) are just ignorant on how to use it lol.

Oh s*** this makes sense cus I got a mic now and I has to switch from FL studio asio to asio4all

Oh s*** wtf, I neexa start doing that. Dragging audio clips to be on beat is annoying asf
It's definitely my cpu I have a fucming toaster lmao

Np!

And remember to google for YOUTUBE vids. Just google for videos on "how to record vocals straight into FL (put your number edition here)" and "how to reduce CPU memory" videos for whatever windows version you have, & it should show you how to suspend programs to make it run smoother. It improves SO much, even everyday things such as being able to have more tabs open in your browser without freezing. Even on s***ty computers it can make a big difference.

I'm self taught in production & now sell beats & used to work at a local studio before corona, & the main way i taught myself was literally just by GOOGLING & YOUTUBING ish for hours & breaking it down in my room. Dont be afraid to search everything, lotta people dont do this simple thing but you'd be surprised how easy it is if you look & search through the info yourself.

Good luck

OP gotta switch to audacity just to record vocals

That's what I do lol

Nah
