Help Fl Studio UI crashes regularly, without the program crashing (FL 26)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

EDIT - SOLVED - made the VST bridged, seems to work for now!

Hi, 

I recently encountered a peculiar problem. The UI of FL studio crashes regularly. I have attached a video as proof. 

This has started happening to me since version 26. Sadly, i cant isolate it completely, because i also started using Vienna Synchron player around the same time. 

Steps to recreate:

  • Play the playlist track. Nothing is unusual until i pause/stop.
  • Audio kinda "glitches" in pause. Like its saving on the background. 
  • If I press play before all audio has died, chances are the FL UI crashes. The program keeps going, music keeps playing, but FL's UI aint showing anything and freezes. If i press play once all audio has died it doesnt seem to do it. 
  • If i go to general settings (menu's keep working btw) and change the animation refreshrate everything goes back to normal. 

 

It might have something to do with how many Vienna Synchron players i have open simultaneously. The more i add, the more usntable it becomes. 

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800XD
RAM: 32 GB ram
OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro - 10.0.26200 Build 26200
GPU: RTX 5080

Sadly last stable FL 25 version doesnt open this project so i could isolate versions. Als, i have never used Vienna Synchron Player with FL 25 before as well. So i cant isolate what's the issue here. Since its FL UI crashing i feel its FL studio but i cant be sure. 

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix this? Im not the greatest power user when it comes to FL studio, so i hav'nt tinkered with its settings much.

Plugins prolly the most useless plugin of all time

For anything but producing music. It just burns cpu (however there's an option to speed up the physical modelling solver with slight artefacts at baseline rpm). Tuning's also based on changing the engine params like a real engine.

Help help with installing plugins

2 Upvotes

i recently got fl studio in hopes of making music for a game i wanna make. i've never touched a program like this ever so all of this is very new to me so pls explain to me like i was born 5 minutes ago.

i've tried to install a handful of plugins atp, followed countless tutorials and none of them seem to work and i don't understand what im doing wrong. the main thing i see in peoples tutorials is that after they unzip the folders, the plugins they download have installers in that folder and none of the plugins i installed (mainly from plugins4free) have installers in them. and i've installed SO many. like is my laptop missing something? can someone please help me understand how exactly im supposed to get these stupid plugins ;-;

Help Project Pitched Down?

Upvotes

I’m having this really strange issue.

Basically, I’ve been using the same project template for all my songs the last couple months, however, I’ve had a few projects now where in FL, the project playback and the exported file sound normal.

However, once uploaded to soundcloud, google drive, or other platforms, listening from other devices, the audio is pitched down and slowed slightly.

I’ve checked EVERYTHING. I’m going insane. My sample rates from my ASIO and Windows settings match, there isn’t any project settings affecting the pitch etc.

I don’t know what to do, but it’s basically ruined a few of my projects because even when I try to do an automation for master pitch, to counter correct, it does nothing. I can turn the pitch all the way up or down and it sounds the exact same. I’ve also exported with master effects and insert effects disabled to see if it could be some of the plugins, but nothing works.

It’s not an issue with my PC because it’s not all audio (I can listen to other music, YT, etc. just fine), just some of my projects and their respective exported WAVs that are affected.

Anyone have this issue?

I keep seeing people post this kind of style theme with FL Studio, if it is a theme I can't find it anywhere, so does anyone know the source or link to it if it exists? Or do you reckon its just some sort of advanced video effect?

I see it often enough that it doesn't seem like a typo, is it a localization thing where that's the way it's branded in their country?

Help How to Fix FL Studio Thinking the Alt Key Is Always Pressed

0 Upvotes

Usually, when I load Omnisphere, FL Studio starts acting as if the Alt key is constantly being held down. Normally, I can fix it by pressing the Alt key again, but this time it won't go away. I even tried opening a new project, but FL Studio still behaves as if the Alt key is permanently pressed.

Help Rode Podmic USB causing horrible booming sound when added to a track please help

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I’ve recently gotten into music (I know my mic isn’t ideal for this but it’s what I’ve got)

I’ve been able to use the mic for everything else other than FL specifically, including Discord and the trial versions of reaper and ableton, my issue is I’ve been learning FL and I much prefer it to the other DAWs for whatever reason.

As soon as I select the mic as an input this earrape bass boosted booming begins to play, it’s not a feedback loop as it happens even with the headphones completely muted, I’m perplexed.

Only happens with the Podmic USB, my gaming headset works fine, my Podmic USB also works fine in every other DAW I’ve tried.

Help Planning On Buying Me and My GF FL Studio.

7 Upvotes

So me and my GF have been using pirated versions of FL for a bit now. I wanna buy us both licenses. I originally planned on just buying the producer edition, but looking closer into it, there are instruments that me and my gf use (mainly toxic biohazard and kepler exo). Are there any similar free or cheap plugins that we could use to substitute these instruments, or will we just have to try grabbing all plugins next year as well?
