You need to run this latency monitor while you have your recording software open and active.

It scans your system and tells you where you might have issues. If you are unsure of your system's ability to handle audio production, you should visit this site: - and DL and run Latency Monitor. I like to use Focusrite USB Asio instead Fl Studio Asio for better performance. In fact, depending on your core processor speed and RAM amount, buffer settings as high as 2048 are not out of the question if you are mixing a dense production. Hi, im using Focusrite scarlett 18i20 (Focusrite USB Asio) as output device in Systemwide but cant make any sound coming from Fl Studio DAW software when choosing Focusrite USB Asio as input/output device, it works only when i choose Fl Studio Asio. The general rule of thumb - and there are exceptions, I'm talking "in general"- is that you should set your buffers for the most minimal setting you can get by with for recording, without having freeze-ups or stutters.and increase the buffer settings for mixing.ĭecreasing the buffer settings will give you less latency while tracking but if the amount is too small, you can run into glitches.stutters, hangups, freezes.īecause latency isn't as crucial when it comes time to mix, you should increase your buffer size. Make sure that the Focusrite is the only audio device that your system recognizes across the board.Īdding to what PC mentioned, you'll probably find that you will have to adjust these buffer settings from time to time, as a project goes through its various phases, and when the production gets to be more memory hungry as more processors/plugs and VSTi's are used. You don't need to uninstall them, but you should at least disable all of these devices and drivers. This includes things like built-in sound cards, hi definition audio drivers, all the audio stuff that came resident with your computer when you bought it.
FOCUSRITE ASIO DRIVER NOT WORKING IN FL STUDIO DRIVERS
If the drivers you have are current, then you need to make sure that you have no other audio devices active on your system. The very first thing you should do is visit the Focusrite website and make sure that the drivers for your device are current for the OS you are running. Getting the drivers to integrate with your system is the priority.
