Open FL Studio, open the options menu and go to the Audio Settings and set the device to Focusrite USB ASIO. You'll also need to set playback tracking to either Hybrid or Mixer. You can change the buffer size from the ASIO Control Panel, which you can open by clicking 'Show ASIO Panel' Step 3. Audible artifacts in FL Studio These are usually caused by ' buffer underruns '. That is, the audio stream to the soundcard is interrupted when a temporary memory-buffer holding the audio data runs dry. This is caused by CPU and or Hard Disk overloading. A lot of you have been having problems with Fl Studio 9 underruns so I just made a Video to help you solve that problem hope you like it please thumbs UP the.

FL Studio is one of the best music software solutions that can be used as a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).

It provides you with the ability to create your own music as well as edit other music files. But sometimes people can be heard complaining about FL Studio’s performance issues. Most of the complaints are centered around the ‘extra sounds’ issue which is very much audible at times. These are mostly glitches or crackles and the sound is often choppy and strange.

We recommend putting the System Cache and Software Junk features of ST Cleaner to good use. These features ensure everything is fine, as far as the basics relating to keeping your computer in an unkempt state are concerned.

There can be two different reasons related to this choppy sound. It could be because of some random plug-in which is behaving like this, or it could be the buffer underrun problem.

Buffer Underrun Fix

To fix the plug-in problem, you need to open the plug-in wrapper processing tab where you can find the Allow threaded processing option. Now deselect this option and check if the problem is solved or not. If the problem persists then you need to select the Use fixed sized buffer option. Once you’ve made these two adjustments, you will stop getting the ‘extra sounds’, in most of the cases.

Fl Studio Buffer Underruns

But if the problem is due to buffer underruns then there are some steps which you need to perform to solve this issue.

• Navigate to Audio settings and select FL Studio ASIO in the Device drop-down menu
• Now you need to change the buffer length settings as well
• Try to get the buffer length to somewhere near 10 ms (which basically means at 441 samples)
• Make sure that there is little addition in Underruns Count during this process
• If you find that underruns count stop increasing you can decrease the Buffer Length settings
• Make sure that the Buffer Length settings value never comes under 10ms else the load on your CPU will increase sharply
• Remember that Buffer Length and Underruns Count values are inversely proportional to each other
• For ASIO driver, there can be three different Buffer Length settings
  • 1–4 ms (44–176 samples) which is very good but you don’t need this as it will increase the load on your CPU
  • 5–10 ms (220–440 samples) this is excellent and ideal setting. We recommend setting it at 10ms
  • 11–20 ms (485–882 samples) which is acceptable and can provide you with a reasonably good sound

With all these steps the choppy sound problem will be solved and you will be able to hear clear music. But if the problem persists, you can check its memory and CPU optimization section but at your own risk. You can also check different other programs which might cause FL Studio to make these unpleasant sounds. As an example, a program called f.lux that changes the color temperature of the screen can cause this issue. If you have installed it, please get rid of it at the earliest.

Fl Studio Underruns

If the Buffer Length setting is more than 100 ms (4410 samples) and the CPU usage is at 80%, this is basically an indication to upgrade your PC because your system isn’t capable enough to support FL Studio in this case.
