The simple question is, what performance gains would be realistic? As in, if right now the project runs at 100% вЂ“ how would it run on the new laptop?

#FL STUDIO 12 REQUIREMENTS UPGRADE#

And he wanted to upgrade it to a laptop having a processor with a score of ~8100. I was given a personal example вЂ“ a reader had a laptop with processor of ~4100 on Passmark benchmark page. On social media I got a good question: вЂњ How these benchmarks scale up in real life FL Studio performance?вЂњ. For that IвЂ™ll use mobile processor list sorted by their score in Cinebench ењ†4 using 1 core. How each processor is valued, especially below that line, depends more and more on their single core performance. HereвЂ™s a graphic illustrating basic selection process. It can handle almost that much even without ASIO when oversampling isnвЂ™t used.ДЄ few great and common laptop processors for FL Studio:ДЄlso, there are a few popular upper mid-range CPUs that are OK for FL Studio: I have this processor in my own laptop for the last two years and it manages to handle ~20 generators going to ~20 mixer tracks with ~6 effects each.

IвЂ™d consider anything above Intel Core i7-3630QM very good. Then IвЂ™ll prioritize single core priority over multi-core when comparing several models. To be sure how good a processor is IвЂ™ll use benchmarks from Notebookcheck and Passmark. A higher-mid range is the Goldilocks zone for processors вЂ“ not too slow and not too hot вЂ“ just right. So which processors weвЂ™re looking for EXACTLY?ДЄnything in the higher range of the latest two series of processors. Usually, youвЂ™ll end up using more tracks which can be processed in parallel but even then the additional gain is limited. Obviously, this is not a real-life scenario unless youвЂ™re making a simple beat. On the other hand, if Track 5 is independent then 3rd core would speed up the process by 11% and 4th core by final 4%. If Track 1 sends to Track 5, having extra cores will not help at all. In this particular case, вЂњthe red coreвЂќ helps out the main blue one and cuts down the time to prepare the master track by 31%, since blue one didnвЂ™t have to process Track 2, 3 and 4. If I understand FL Studio correctly, this graphic should help you understand how dual core processor would handle a mixer with 5 tracks: In short вЂ“ anything beyond 4 cores, at least right now, is not worth the extra money. Your priority should be clock speed and not cores. What does it mean for you when buying a laptop?

Since it comes last in the audio chain, it cannot be speed-up with multiple cores. This is especially noticeable when adding a lot of VSTs to the mastering chain.

It is a lot better to split every generator into its own channel and give every channel only the essential effects they need instead of trying to balance multiple instruments in the same one. Split your instruments into more channels, avoid using too many effects in the same chain. In sum, it seems that we need to form our own custom requirements one by one.

#FL STUDIO 12 REQUIREMENTS PC#

IвЂ™d argue that the only thing that you should take from these requirements is that video card doesnвЂ™t matter at all and hard drive space matters only if you have an extensive sample library.ДЇL Studio team have written a lot more sensible guide for choosing a PC but that is mostly focused on desktop/tower setup. So do these requirements actually say anything? Apparently some known plugin libraries have significantly higher requirements than FL Studio itself. It might be enough to launch FL Studio but it is far from what you need if youвЂ™re using VSTs and sample libraries. Looking at these requirements it seems that any recently released laptop would be more than enough. ASIO/ASIO2 compatible required for audio recording

WINDOWS 7 or later / macOS 10.11 or later.

2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon 64 (or later) compatible CPU with full SSE2 support.

#FL STUDIO 12 REQUIREMENTS UPDATE#

Last month Image Line released FL Studio 20 so IвЂ™ve decided to do an update on recommended laptops for FL Studio including the best laptops available in 2018 Summer and beyond.ДЄ good place to start would be FL Studio 20 minimum requirements: Time to find out what is the best laptop for FL Studio!Дў018 June update. In this post IвЂ™m going to list out what are the specific requirements weвЂ™re targeting for, which laptops meet them for every price range and what you should do after getting a laptop. This week IвЂ™ve got a massive post on picking a laptop for FL Studio (and in most ways вЂ“ music production in general).
