^^^ yea I am using desktop speakers for my laptop..I think Jack Doph is right ...i have seen so many you tube videos..so many guys have uploaded videos of fl studio running in a laptop..I am using 32bit os and memory is only 2gb ...
OUCH.. desktop speakers.. well they are a step up from laptop speakers but thats about it
Its very possible to run FL from a laptop, but the more instruments/tracks you run.. the harder it will be to run things smoothly.. Again.. This depends on the power of the CPU, Ram and soundcard.. Yea.. soundcard.. Music programs tend to run better on add-on soundcards.. just my opinion though
ON those programs it generally takes a bit of tweaking the settings to get the best possible performance..
I know I had to tweak the latency settings on the ASIO control panel of Guitar Rig 4 a bit.. too little it would stutter/crackle.. too much and there was a noticeable delay... I
settled for 7ms latency buffer delay
.I know your talking FL but Guitar Rig can be very CPU/Ram intensive too.I can tell you.. If your pushing more that 50 to 60% CPU usage on most music programs.. Your approaching the "danger zone"..
And yea.. I have used FL studio but don't use it much anymore.. Mainly I used it as a drum machine , so I could write riffs on top of it..Not all the time but mostly.... Now I just use PC Drummer which IMO has superior drum sounds..
Check your CPU usage and ram usage..and how many instruments are you running? Ill have to install FL to be of more help.. Will do it in a few
