New Features in FL Studio 6
FL Engine/Interface
- Changes to FL audio engine - New audio thread
'Priority' (F10 > Audio
settings) and 'Safe overloads' features have been added to FL6
to make the program more stable in the face of high CPU loads. Use
a Priority of 'Highest' if you have problems with underruns, if the 'Highest' Priority
setting changes does not seem to help try turning off 'Safe
overloads'. Finally, please make sure you have the latest and
correct drivers selected for your system as installing FL6 will
reset the F10 > Audio
settings to default values.
