Why are my samples' pitch different when I place them on the playlist?

I've been wanting to make a track with orchestral percussion and downloaded a sample pack called Percussion Instruments 2.

However, when I try to place the wav. samples on the playlist, they sound in a completely different pitch than in the preview, as you can hear in the video, and I can't understand why.

Is there any way I could fix this?

why does my synth change based on the length of the note?

ive had fl studio for less than a day and tried using the synth, when I add a beat to the channel rack the synth makes noise for a long time but then when i extend it on piano roll it sounds normal. is this meant to happen?

How does the swing knob in the channel rack work?

I'm just trying to use triplet swing in something, and I have two questions:

First, I don't know how to quantify a percentage. It sounds like triplets around 67%, so that's what I'm keeping it at. Does anyone know how the percentage translates to how long the down beat eighth note is held?

And now I have a second problem. If I try to write in triplets in the piano roll, those are all wonky because it's still swinging the eighth notes. Would I just need to rewrite the whole thing in triplets if I want to add any?

help with one shots in piano roll

When I drag a oneshot into the piano roll and play it in c5 it plays a different pitch than it does in the original sample. Why does it do this and is there a fix or is it supposed to be like this

How can I achieve this elecrtic guitar sound within FL Studio?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oBV3jPTW4s

Timestamp of the sound: 3-27 seconds. I love the sound of the electric guitar that's being played and I would like to achieve the same sound within FL Studio.

Is there a soundfont or a plugin that can achieve this sound? I've been googling around but I've never found a soundfont that gets this exact sound. Any help is appreciated!

Shine Reverb - buffer artifact solution

Don't know where to post this, I haven't seen anyone else have this problem, but I did and this post may help someone else who is experiencing the same issues with this VST or another 3rd party VST.

I was getting buffer artifacts with the free Shine reverb VST no matter what my buffer settings were or what driver I used.

I fixed it by going to the VST wrapper settings > Troubleshooting > Use fixed size buffers

Solved the problem.

Projects not saving properly in FL 2024

Hi, for a while now I've been facing an issue where my files are not saving properly most the time. As I work on a project I do "ctrl+s" multiple times throughout but when I reload the file it shows that my changes have not been made. The only way I've worked around this is to "Save as" on my projects, but then I end up making more copies than necessary.

What I have also noticed is that if I change the folder name/flp name there are no backups saved at all despite having it enabled in my settings for 5mins. If I don't change the project name I do have backups, but once again I cannot save it normally.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fl studio artifact when exporting

https://preview.redd.it/dz289ddgro0e1.png?width=848&format=png&auto=webp&s=65e77384782828592b6a8853f5c4b7c9e58569ef

I noticed, that sometimes when i export something, i hear a loud click on the beginning. Just few minutes ago i started consolidating midi channels to wav and they had the same thing, but it wasnt noticable, only when made louder and i was wondering why is it happening. Could it be because of my pc or is it just fl studio's fault?
It's not really a problem when im consolidating midi patterns, but it's kinda bothering me when the final render has this artifact at the beginning.

(picture showing amplified waveform after consolidating with the weird sound)

Linux users 101 (fix plugin flicker in Wine & more)

I managed to finally find a fix to the infamous VST flickers, as well as a (somewhat) fix to the black rectangles appearing under windows. This shall mostly serve as a guide for installing FL on Linux however.

The best tool for running FL and most Windows software I've found is Bottles. Normal Wine should work too but Bottles has a far nicer interface and tends to handle a lot more in the backend like setting up Vulkan <-> DirectX translation via DXVK.

  1. If you haven't already, make a new software bottle with the Soda runner (currently what works best for me but you can experiment).
  2. Download FL Studio from Image-Line's website and run the installer inside of the Bottle via Run Executable... - NOTE: As of writing, FL Studio 24 will try to install Edge WebView but it will never finish installing it. FL will still work fine without it, but if you want to use FL Cloud stuff I'm pretty sure it'll work if you install webview2 via the bottle's dependencies tab
  3. Go into Dependencies on Bottles and install allfonts,vcredist6,vcredist6sp6,vcredist2005 for good measure (probably not necessary but I always do this for any new bottle I make since those are common for most real world Windows installs)

Solving the flicker

  1. Click the 3 dots next to FL64 in Programs, Change Launch Options, and disable DXVK.
  2. Go to the bottom into Tools > Configuration > Add application... and select C:/Program Files/Image-Line/FL Studio 2x/FL64.exe
  3. Select FL64.exe in the Applications tab, then switch to the Libraries tab
  4. Add "d3d11" and "d3d12" as new overrides, and set/edit them into the Disabled load order
  5. Go back to the Applications tab and add a new app. This time add both of the exes inside the 32bit and 64bit folders here: C:/Program Files/Image-Line/FL Studio 2x/System/Tools/Bridge/*bit/ilbridge.exe (only one seems to show up in WineCFG after you add them, but it seems to be referencing both)
  6. Select ilbridge.exe in the Applications tab, then switch to the Libraries tab
  7. Add "d3d11" and "d3d12" as new overrides, and this times set them to "Native then Builtin"

Done!

This isn't perfect, since it does make FL Studio more sluggish, but the only real solution to the flickering is a special patch for FL Studio that someone with more time on their hands than me can contribute to DXVK or Wine.

Other artifacts

  • There are weird black rectangles under things that are supposed to be transparent and it seems to mostly be an issue on KDE Plasma? I've heard it can be fixed by disabling things in the compositor and disabling control over window decorations in winecfg but it hasn't worked for me. At one point I did end up messing with settings and talking to ChatGPT enough to where the rectangles were gone (unless i resized the window) but I'm not sure what I did.

I will continue updating this every once in a while, feel free to comment if you have any additions and i'll try updating this post.

You may continue enjoying your free lifetime updates on Linux now!

How to I put my FLkey49 into channel rack mode?

I want to be able to play out all my drums on my drum pad. I want to play the kick the snare and the hats and I want to route them to each pad. Instead I can only play one instrument in different keys. As you can see when I try to hold shift and select channel rack mode it only gives me 5 options (scale chord, user chord and three custom options)

I installed all the drivers and downloaded all updates. Maybe my settings are incorrect?

How to reverse notes in the piano roll?

I don’t mean flip notes vertically or horizontally, I want only a single note to be reversed, specifically a hi hat. If someone could help me that would be great.

Drive organisation for music production

Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my Mac, by distributing on good bases, having 2TB of internal storage I used to install everything on it, document, DAW, project, library, everything.

By informing myself I realized that it would be better to have different hard drives, like in the attached image, what do you think, do you have any advice to better organize yourself?
