Thanks very much

thanks man

Thanks! Yep I’m on FL 10 and the bass is from a plugin called Sylenth1

Running FL Studio 10 on an Intel 3.4GHz quadcore with 8GB memory and Windows 7 Pro. Quite please with the performance ‘:0) My old single processor Win XP machine was choking on FL Studio 9.

yea my old XP pc had to go. Im running an intel i5 on a laptop with windows 7. Im running an older audio interface though, meant for XP. the latency isn’t desirable but I can get past it, mainly because everything in FL studio is done though MIDI anyways.

Wrt latency, did you adjust your ASIO buffering (in milliseconds) down to comfortable latency? I use 300ms for playback to conserve resources but, for recording, 10 or below is mo’ better.

these are my settings.

i can only go as low as 128, and even then its really no difference between that and 256. when i use the FL dashboard to hook up sounds from my mo6 through midi to record the audio, i can never use playback because the sounds from my mo6 are always behind the sounds that are coming out of FLS. does that make sense?

This particular Maudio ASIO buffer manager (latency) seems weak and not useful for recording. Okay.

To remove latency when recording your Yamaha audio recording try (1) using hardware monitoring. If your Maudio doesn’t support direct monitoring (pre FL Studio), then use a small mixer or aux outs to split you keyboard audio signal sending one path to a monitoring systems and one path to Maudio. (2) Mute (deselect) the FL Studio mixer channel used to record the audio so you don’t hear the delayed sound when recording. (3) Enable the recorded sound for playback. You should be in sync. It your off a click or two, you can slide the sample to better align.

Sounds like you driving MIDI to your Yamaha and expecting the audio to be recorded and played back in sync. Quite a circuitous route. Try something similar the audio scenario above.

If your playback is out of sync just slide the audio until it is in sync. With your skills that should be a big deal. Sliding audio and midi patterns on the playlist window is part of the creative process.


Another approach, which I haven’t tried but came to mind thinking about you circuitous routing, would be to use latency compensation feature. I copied this from the FL Studio help files.

In the Disk Recording sub-menu select - Latency compensation - Turn ON - Removes an amount of time equal to the soundcard latency (buffer length) from the start of the recording, ensuring the audio is aligned with the internal events. NOTE: This setting does not affect the live (monitored) sound, only the recording and doesn’t have anything to do with the PDC delay panel (C) options. See the point below on ‘Monitoring’ for ways to improve latency delay on the live audio passing through FL Studio.

Lastly, have you tried using plugin delay compensation (PDC) in manual mode on the playback tracks that are not delayed? Instead fixing the latency, delay all tracks to match the delayed track. Similar to the solution above but manual for each track.

My best bet is to go with the last idea that you had, but I don’t know how to do that. Is it in the mixer settings?

Keep in mind that your are not compensating for a plugin but for your MIDI to Audio latency. The concept should be similar. For this to work, FL Studio will have to send MIDI to your interface before latency compensation is used to playback audio. Remember to consider Delay Pre/Post - Left-click the upper/lower arrow switch to change between the upper, pre delay (used for instruments/generators) and lower arrow, post delay (used for effects). The Pre setting delays the audio prior to entering a Mixer Track, Post delays the audio leaving a Mixer Track. NOTE: Plugin delay compensation > Automatic must be deselected to access this option.

Did u read up on ASIO4ALL as an alternative to the Maudio driver? I am not a big fan of ASIO4ALL but some folks like it.

Thanks I’ll probably have to rewatch that video a couple of times to fully understand. I find that the mAudio driver is much better dealing with underruns than the ASIO4ALL because i never get underruns but I think I have the problem figured out. thanks again
