SETUP WIZARD

Setup complete!

Done! Nothing burst into flames and all is well :)

You have now completed the basic setup of FL Studio. Press the F10 function key on your keyboard to open the System Settings at any time to change the AudioMIDIFile or Project settings.

Need more help?

Try searching our on-line Knowledge Base. If that doesn't solve your problem you are welcome to the Tech Support forums (open to registered users only).

What next?

If you are a new to FL Studio we suggest reading:

Using the FL Studio manual (Press F1 in FL Studio)

The manual is context sensitive, if you press F1 key on your PC keyboard while a particular window or plugin is focused (click on a window or plugin to focus it), the help will usually open at the correct page for that item. To see a video tutorial  Click here.

The manual is also a great resource and has answers to most questions you may have about using FL Studio. While the online forums may beckon you to ask questions like "How do I record my microphone?", "How do I stop that hissing sound?" or "How can I load my beats into FL Studio", the grumpy author of the manual lurks there waiting to pounce on users who ask these questions that are easily answered by following the steps outlined below:

Why not start right now, let's try today's secret word 'Theodolite'. After the search is complete double-click on the topic in the 'Results window' to display it.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.

Chinese Proverb

Give an FL Studio user a fish and he will eat sushi. Teach a FL Studio user to fish and he will sit in the boat, pouting that no-one gave him another fish!

Primary Sound Driver Setup

  SETUP WIZARD Primary Sound Driver Setup Adjust the buffer settings The  DirectSound devices  options will show information about the buffer length (latency) and some other settings used by the audio device driver. The buffer is a 'breathing space' in which FL Studio can generate sound before sending it to the audio device. Shorter settings make FL Studio more responsive to live inputs (e.g. mouse or  hardware controllers ) at the expense of a higher CPU load, and possibly  underruns . Select a Windows DirectSound Driver  - From the drop-down menu select a driver, usually ' Primary Sound Driver '. Set the buffer length : Use the slider to change the buffer length. Longer buffer settings mean lighter CPU load and more stable performance without  underruns  (clicks and pops in the audio). A setting of around 20-40 ms is a good starting point, most users do not notice improved responsiveness below 10 ms, however the 'Primary Sound Driver' usually st...

File Settings Setup

  SETUP WIZARD File Settings Setup Add external file folders to FL Studio Click the  File  tab in the  System Settings  window. We have a series of  video tutorials  on using the    Browser here . Here are  three reasons why this setup page is important: Save locations  - FL Studio will, by default, save your projects to (..[User]\Doccuments\Image-Line\Data\FL Studio\Projects). You can add some additional  extra search folder  locations (your own folders) and save files there also. Always keep your files separate from the FL Studio installation folder. External file locations  - Additionally,  if you have samples and sounds  that you want to use with FL Studio, the  File Settings  page is used to add their folders to the  Browser's  list. External VST/AU locations  - At the bottom of the File Settings interface is also an option to search for  VST/AU  plugins. You can ignor...
