FL Studio: Boost your CPU Performance...a comprehensive guide!

This video gives many useful hints for improving your CPU performance and the needed background information...

Nevertheless these are basic approximations... in reality it works even more detailed and complex... but should be enough to get some insight into the process.

I learned really a lot by doing the researches for this video and I hope it will be helpful for you!

Thank you for getting technical on this subject. I struggle with my CPU load being 90-100% due to a lot of complex routing and computation heavy plugins. This gives me some useful ideas to try. Also your intro music takes me back to the days of FL Studio 3 sample projects :)

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation!

Brilliant explanation !
Keep going mate 😍

Great Video, great explanation!
I was wondering what about automations? for example you have a peak controller on the mixer track of your kick and use the automation for volume ducking in different mixer tracks or direct on the instruments. does the peak controller also "link the workload" like routing a sidechain signal to another track?
could it be that an envelope controller, controlling different volumes at the same time, is the better option, because no audio processing is involved to control the parameters?

Bitwig uses less resources compared to FL Studio. Logic Pro uses more resources than Bitwig and so on. It depends on how software algorithms are designed. I think straight serial or parallel computing isn't not correct because, generally, equations are computed dynamically on the processor cores.
If I create the same plugins+effects chain (same sample rate, same buffer size) in FL Studio I get double the resources used than Bitwig.

Bonjour, a vrai dire et bien que je trouve super intéressant le sujet et de la façon comme cela nous est proposer, il vas me falloir repasser plusieurs fois la vidéo pour vraiment m'imprégné de cet excellent tuto.
De plus je dois suivre la traduction en sous titres, mais qu'importe la flamme de la connaissance en vaux largement la chandelle .
Par contre et suivant vos conseil j'ai activé " Mix in buffer switch" et Triple buffer " ai je bien fait ? .
Mon processeur est un Corel i5 HP ProDesk Windows 10pro. Merci par avance. PascalH
