SETUP WIZARD

Setup Wizard

You can click on the images above to jump between sections, although the normal navigation controls are at the bottom of each page.

Your FL Studio experience will be smoother if you take some time to optimize the Audio, MIDI and File settings. This wizard will guide you through the setup basics so that you can start making music as soon as possible. Stop complaining, even games have setup options!

This wizard will take you through -

  1. Audio input/output properties. Select the audio device and driver.
  2. Controller/MIDI input/output settings. Select controllers to be used with FL Studio.
  3. File settings. Select folders to be shown in the FL Studio Browser menu.

It's important to perform the steps as described, otherwise FL Studio may not function correctly. Don't worry, you can't break anything, but you could get choppy sound, no sound or your FL Studio won't respond to your keyboards/controllers.

 

Click NEXT to proceed with the Setup Wizard.

  SETUP WIZARD ASIO Audio Interface Setup Adjust the buffer settings Windows  - Click the  Show ASIO panel  button to open the audio device driver 'Buffer Size' (latency) settings. You should see the  FL Studio ASIO  control panel: macOS  - You can adjust the Buffer length direct from the interface as shown below: Buffer length setting  - The buffer is a period of time, a 'window' 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 . Set the Buffer to around 512 samples. The  minimum recommended  Buffer length is around 441 samples (10 ms), below this setting very few people report any further improvement in 'responsiveness' and the CPU load climbs rapidly. It's not a competition!  NOTE:  If you select a different ASIO driver this po...

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...
