LuminanceParticipantHey Everyone,
I’m having a problem with my tunes in FL studio 7 XXL. Every time I get a few VST’s going, my computer will drop out. A song will be doing fine but once it gets too much going on in the song, it starts making this unbearable cracking and skipping noise. The meter goes into the red and the dropout number goes up. Here are some specs for my computer:
3.00 Ghz P4 Processor
1 GB RAM
Windows XP Pro
Tascam US224 interface
Crappy Sound Blaster Audigy Sound CardI’d normally assume that my computer just needs to be upgraded because it doesn’t have enough power. However, when I look in my task manager, I can see that it’s not even using all that much memory. Nothing is peaking or anything. I know the Sound Card sucks but I usually run everything through the Tascam (which also kind of sucks by the way). I still get the clipping no matter which sound device I use.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I could fix this? Thanks!

mike001ParticipantHi, I get a similar sort of problem my pc is a Carilon 3Ghz P4 with 2gig of ram running xp home & an audiophile2496 soundcard & i think the problem is my motherboard which has the notoriously crappy Intel 915pbl chipset condemmed by computer music mag,It stutters sometimes & freezes but always comes back O.K
I think some of the problem is Cubase4 which may may be demanding too much from my pc, also using samplers like Halion & Battery3 use up a lot of ram.
I must try freezing the tracks in cubase to free up memory.
Maybe yours are similar problems.

LuminanceParticipantI’ve found that when I experience these drops outs, I can bring the song back to life by disabling all of my FX. Is there any way to freeze tracks with FL? It seems as though all the real time processing is what kills it.
Also, I just ordered a new SATA hard drive. The rest of my computer is relatively quick but the crappy IDE drive I have is a bit of a bottleneck. Hopefully this will help the issue a little bit.
