Grayburg Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Every single time while working in the Mixer, I always run into a point where if I play my song, it'll clip like hell. My CPU isn't bad, AMD 6000+ 3.0GHz. It's not the new silly quad-core quality, but it destroys every video game around. lolol I can't get the basic eq, compression and reverb onto all of the instruments before it starts sounding like trash. I do send some channels to the same effect channel to try to save on how many plugins I load. It's not very many, of course, only like.. reverb and a bit of compression. I could imagine you guys would have loads of more plugins used, too. How do you manage? I've been exporting, which means I go eat for an hour, come back, listen, make a small edit, export, eat for an hour, asdfasdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypnyk Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 personally I use AISO4ALL. if/when it starts clipping/running slow, I turn the buffer size up. that and you could go to tools > macro > switch smart disable for all plugins to really help with the cpu overkill. finally worse case scenario is you solo/render some instruments and reload them as samples, and then just remove the instruments/plugins.

zircon Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Smart Disable is a big help, but ASIO will also help a lot. I'm not familiar with the AMD line.. is that single core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayburg Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Wow. Incredible difference when switching over to asio4all. That pretty much fixed everything. It's a dual core. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Smart Disable is a big help, but ASIO will also help a lot. I'm not familiar with the AMD line.. is that single core? it's one of the first AMD dual-core cpus, codenamed windsor. it's not great, but it can handle itself. roughly equivalent to a c2d e4500 (2.2ghz, 800mhz fsb) after comparing architecture, design, and fsb equivalencies. doesn't have a comparison in the newer lines of stuff, as the newer wolfdale architectures blow it out of the water.

Nabeel Ansari Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey guys, FL is acting up on me. The CPU keeps overloading for no reason. I started a new project and inserted a channel for Kore Player, but when I tried to write something, the CPU meter gradually went up to 99 and now it just "safely overloads" doesn't crash but it doesn't play anything. What the heck? I'm using ASIO4ALL I disabled Multithreaded Generator Processing I tried disabling and reenabling ASIO driver I tried playing with the buffer whatevers but it still doesn't help. I haven't had this problem before and now it's such a nuisance I don't think I'll be able to remix with this current state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 assuming you own fl, you should post a question like this over at their forums. you'll get an answer from a mod or admin within a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with proph that the Image Line forums would be better for this question. Personally, the only time I've had this happen was when I accidentally had MIDI outputs on (under Options > MIDI settings) before turning on ASIO. It then would hit 99% CPU and never drop from there until I turned off all the MIDI output ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Okay thanks anyway. Well that worked... a little. I'll ask someone else I don't have an image line account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 didn't we already work this out over pm, and i apologize for accusing you without figuring out the complete story? darke gave you his license key. assuming that he either bought an FL multi-license key or FL allows for multiple installations at one time, you're in the clear. if both you and him are installed at the same time, you're not. simple as pie.

Nabeel Ansari Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 from the depths of the earth comes...UNDEAD THREAD. Just to get back on topic: My CPU overloads whenever I have more than two instances of KORE, or like one instance of Autogun. Is it just because my processor ( intel celeron m 1.6 GHz 520 single core) can't handle them? Is there a way I can fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 yeah, it's your processor. those processors are like five or six years old now. if you want recommendations on a new, cheap, system, send me a pm. realistically, anything that's a core 2, at least 2.5ghz, and at least a dual core is more than enough to kill those programs. if you use moore's law, you'd be able to calculate the exact difference between a celeron m to a core 2 duo - say, a modern chip like the 8400 or the 7400 - at around nine to fourteen times the processing power. remember that a quad isn't necessarily a four times increase in system speed, rather it's a four times increase in raw computing power to a system that multithreads properly (fl studio multithreads relatively well, but kore does not).
