In this video I show you how to get better CPU performance from your computer when using FL Studio. These are particularly useful when you are on an underpowered machine and they all helped me when I was starting out on my old laptop, hopefully, they help you too :) ▶Join My Discord Server – https://discord.gg/sBbsE6e ▶ Time Stamps 0:30 – Free updates – use them! 1:00 – Use an ASIO driver – Select the one for your sound card 1:20 – Increase the soundcard buffer length/buffer size – Higher values give smoother CPU performance. Lower values are better for recording 2:26 – Adjust your sample rate – Do you need to go above 48kHz? 2:50 – Buffer settings 3:00 – CPU optimisation 3:25 – Mixer quality 3:45 – Set a data folder for smooth project loading and saving 4:10 – Change Timebase (PPQ) to a lower value 5:20 – Tools – Purge unused audio clips 5:50 – Tools – Switch smart disable for all plugins 6:30 – Adjusting plugin settings 7:30 – Plugin quality modes 8:45 – Use fewer layers! (unless you really have to) 9:20 – Use fewer plugins and try to limit the mastering plugins Groups and Sends video – https://youtu.be/kFBfMTBP4aA Mastering Tutorial – https://youtu.be/h-QCQiOkufc 11:00 – Bouncing tracks to audio – Consolidating 13:50 – Freezing Midi 14:05 – Further Computer Optimisation ▶My Computer Specs – These have been slowly upgraded over the last 3 years, part by part as I could afford it. CPU – Intel Core i7-6700 @3.40 GHz (Overclocked to around 3.80) RAM – 32 GB @2800 MHz Corsair (Should be 3000 but that’s as high as I could push it) Storage – 1x250GB SSD for system 1×250 GB SSD for files 1x 1TB HDD for backups GPU (very recent upgrade – I had no GPU for over 500 video edits!) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Case – Fractal Design Silent Case (Whatever they were selling 3 years ago) Cooling – Silent Fans x 4 around and in the case.

Micahel Wynne is a recording artist and mixing engineer with a passion for teaching (and instant ramen). In 2015 I discovered my enthusiasm for music and audio; I learned how to record and produce songs in my university student room with a just cheap laptop and FL Studio. After several months of working in audio sessions between school assignments, I decided to leave uni with a 2-year engineering diploma to pursue a career in music. I wanted to learn everything I could about the industry and the artistic process, so I started making original music as half of the duo “Miavono”. In late 2016 I began my journey on YouTube, sharing my knowledge and experiences with audio in the form of tutorials on “In The Mix”. I quickly grew a community of over 120,000 producers, artists, and audio professionals, a group of people whose passions aligned with mine. Last year I built my own home studio from the ground up in my back garden, set in the rural highlands of Scotland, and have since been supported by and involved with some of the greatest people in the industry.
