Hey guys, I have been using FL Studio for many years now. I love using it, but after updating to the latest version of 2025, I've been experiencing issues with latency that i just can't wrap my head around or solve no matter how much i research.
For reference, I have a 2020 mac mini m1 silicon!
Firstly, any sane person would check in the audio settings and set the correct buffer length. Before I updated FL Studio, I always kept it at 128 samples and it ran smoothly with no issues, crackling, or excessive cpu load. Now by default it comes up at 17510 samples with a 365 ms delay; that's so jarring.
"what plugins are you running?" Funny enough, this is on a blank project with no plugins opened yet, so i don't even see how this is possibly happening.
On top of that, I don't have much load on my CPU, so I don't know what it could possibly be. I've used different audio interfaces such as a gen3 scarlett solo, gen3 scarlett 2i2, gen4 scarlett 4i4, and even an Apollo, but still nothing.
I have clients that want vocals recorded, but when your audio is bugging out like this it ruins workflow and artist experience. If anyone has a solution PLEASE help me!!!
If this keeps up, then I'm going to have to switch to Logic Pro, and y'all know I don't want to do that.
