FL efficience / hardwarerequierements
HI!
I've recently bought a new laptop, also in order to be able to use more vsts at a time, having more active channels at once etc. ...
But to my surprise as I installed FL 8 and tried one of the demotracks it started stuttering and being overtaxed, showing that it uses realy much CPU (red line If you know what I mean).
I realy didn't expect this forethat I've got a 2,5GHZ dual core and 2GB ram, which should be enough for average complicatet tasks in Fl I guess. Of course I raised the samplelenght till it worked , but I'm not famliar with the other settings... (what do they mean? - how do they affect the efficience?)
I still have got the Impression that there must be something wrong in the relation between the capacitys the program seems to need and what it does at the end.
The Taskmanager shows that it uses 20-30% of the CPU...
Is it maybe because of the soundcart? Does it affect the way/speed of things done in FL, or is the sound "mixed" by the CPU and then just send "as one stream" to the soundcart for output?
Does FL maybe only use one of 2 cores or are there maybe problems with win 7?
wellwell alotof questions. hope I was precise enough describing what I mean.
I'm realy thankfull for every hint or solution.

press F10 and go to audio settings, change the buffer (buffer speed I think, default is 512 i think) and see what difference it makes, this helped me once when I had trouble with lagging/skipping.
FL can be pretty gay, it likes crashing, especially when distorting stuff and on full volume, I've had to pull the battery out of my laptop to stop it "screaming" at me. Still fucking love it though.

Sometimes it feels like a very demanding program indeed.
Have you installed asio4all drivers?, that usually helps a lot.

Also try the things that S2K08 said.
