FRUITY LOOPS high latency problem !! please solve it!

Zitat von sixtonio

For when a patch to improve the Fruity Loops 9 latency with the VIRUS TI ? THE LATENCY IS HORRIBLE!!!

Please read the FL Studio tutorial PDF about how to handle the lack of automatic PDC in FL Studio, available at the "?" menu in Virus Control.

Hey Timo,

Just a headsup to say that there is now some sort of "assisted PDC" in FL (version 9.1, which is in RC1 at the moment). The forums are saying this really helps - I've yet to put it through it's paces yet. 'Assisted' just means 'auto but with manual override'.

I think you might want to update this documentation if you get time, as new users are going to find this confusing I think. There's quite a few changes to the wrapper since v6 as well.

Regards,

S.S.

Hi,

Aout the latency problem in FL Studio. I use the Virus TI template posted in this forum (the one where there´s a preset delay set to all mixer channels in the FL Studio mixer).

Now to improve the latency I use Part 1 as my preview part in Virus Control. To do this I routed it to Out 1 L+R instead of USB1 L+R. This way Part 1 is NOT routed back to the FL Studio mixer but straight out to the Virus output port 1. This way it is possile to play your midi keyboard without any substantial lateny. Whenever I´m ready browsing and playing patches this way and I want to use it in my song I drag the patch from Part 1 to wichever Part I want it to. Works fine for me.

Cheers

This sounds great Martin.

I've only got a Lexicon U-22 audio interface but I can't see to get any of the standard outputs to work.

I've taken just a single mono 'jack' lead from Output 1 to my U22 and tried outputting the in the Common section to Output1 and *nothing*.

I've also go a '2 mono jacks to stereo jack' and tried that ... again, nothing.

I guess you got a full on mixing desk, but I just wondered if there was anything obvious I was missing - switching back to USB works in an instant.

I'm a bit of noob at all this hardware stuff

S.S.

- oh, i've just had a thought - I bet you are using the Virus soundcard ... is that something to do with it ?

sixtonio, are you using your TI as your audio interface? The reason I ask is because I had some HUGE issues in FL Studio before I started using a dedicated audio interface and then everything was great.

Just one tip I've discovered in FL (although I agree, it's horrendous generally) ...

When you are playing 'live'/audioning, make sure that VC is not 'open' on the screen. It makes a massive difference to the live lag (Win 7 64 bit)

I've only just sussed why sometimes I get lag - even with the Live button on - and sometimes I didn't.

Hope that helps someone with one problem ...

.. i've actually got a copy of Cubase 5.1 in my bag - i'm gonna trial it and see if you're "Zero Latency, Zero problems" is true ... if it is, we need to team up and report back to Image Line

i would start learning cubase!

you will see that you won't have any latency.
if you are used to cubase , you dont wanne use fl studio anymore.
the sound quality is way much.

I have used cubase quite a bit - and I prefer FL Studio much more - and the audio quality is the same, it has almost nothing to do with the DAW. I actually spend a lot of time remastering things made in Cubase using FL Studio, and people are always happy with the improvements.

It is possible to use the Virus in FL Studio with low latency (they have new tools to make it easier to compensate for delay, too) - I do it all the time
