scratching and hissing in fl studio

[The Arkitekt]

is there any way to get rid of that annoying scratching and hissing sound on playback with fl studio? is it because my soundcard sucks?

Well it could be a number of things. What is your set up like?

dell laptop, fl studio 8 producer edition, axiom 61 through usb, and some pretty good 2.1 speakers (not that great for referencing though), i know its not any of those things (except fruity loops) because every computer that i used fl on does that, its usually fine when im putting chopped up samples on, usually only does it when im using soundfonts, plug-ins (especially the compressor), i know its not my processor speed because its a core 2 duo, and im on 2gb of ram, and if i save the project as an mp3 or wav, its a lot more clear and doesn't have that hissing bullshit, so im guessing it has to be fl studio...

Do you know anything about the buffer rate inside FL? If so play with that and see if it helps.

 

[The Arkitekt]

damn, thanks a lot bro, i turned the slider for the buffer rate all the way up and no problems anymore

you can also set fixed buffer for plugins from the window options and you can set mixer interpolation to linear.

yea that's what i did lol, but good lookin anyway

Glad to hear its fixed, Now make a beat and sign up in the Beat network and sell it!

i have a realtech soundcard but after switching to ASIO in the audio settings(not sure what this actually does) it got rid of all my hissing.

i've only got 256mg of ram and i've got FL8 running pretty smoothly

Well a Realtek audio card is you Pc audio card. The ASIO is a audio card for somthing else. I have a m-audio Ozonic Keyboard with an ASIO sound card.
