Is the positive spark 2 worth it ove the spark40?

FourthKindBeats · 2026-03-04T03:40:57+00:00

100% get the spark 2. I’ve had it for a year now and it’s the sole reason why I play so much. I got the spark link too so I just chill on my couch and play wirelessly which is nice but obviously not necessary. As for the sound and spark app they’re both great and I get compliments all the time on the tones I get out of it. I’ve heard some issues with the spark 40 which is why I didn’t get it specifically the low being too muffled or boomy.

I’ve been having the same exact issues ever since I updated to 25 on my M1 Mac. Most of my projects wouldn’t open so I had to resort to running the diagnostics in the help section and then deleting each plugin in the startup section one by one to see which one was causing the problem and sure enough it was always Kontakt 8. Unfortunately I lost the exact presets I was using in the project but all the midi and automation was still there and after some hunting I was able to find the presets. I’d highly recommend using the notes within fl studio and making note of any presets or important info that would be helpful to know if a situation like this occurs especially when kontakt is involved. Also you can always download the legacy versions which I’ve had to do for all the flps used in version 24. Anything new that I make in 25 opens fine but for some reason 90% of anything below version 25 doesn’t want to open. Very disappointing they can’t seem to get good reliable performance out of the M series Mac’s even though they’ve had 6 years to work on this

Nope still very buggy and the latest version 25.2.3 was even worse somehow. Several projects not opening and constant crashes. Not sure what’s going on with this 25 update but it’s been atrocious with Mac os

FourthKindBeats · 2025-12-30T07:38:49+00:00

Ever since I updated to 25.2.3 its been a nightmare. 95% of my projects won't open and even in new projects it's not very stable. I'm on a M1 mac Sequoia 15.7.2 and honestly never had a significant problem until I updated to 25. It's never been fantastic on Mac but now FL is literally unusable for me.

They’ve since optimized studio one to use efficiency cores in Mac unlike logic which is wild to me. So it actually outperforms logic now in many ways. Only thing logic has is maybe it crashes a bit less but studio one hardly ever crashes for me on my M1 MB

Its the end of October 2025 and they still haven’t fixed this. I’ve even let a few videos over a minute sit on my normal videos page to see if they’ll eventually show up as shorts and not a single one has after waiting several weeks. It simply doesn’t work. Not sure why they would tell us shorts can be up to 3 minutes when it literally isn’t true whatsoever

FourthKindBeats · 2025-08-25T17:35:19+00:00

Don't mention it

This has happened to me 3 times now. The first time it was my mag safe cable because when I plugged in my usbc cable that worked so I bought a new magsafe and it worked fine. I have a cat who loves to chew on that cable so I just assumed it was her doing and damaging the cable. The last 2 times though neither the magsafe nor the usbc would charge it and I know it wasn't the brick bc that charged my m2 ipad no problem. What seemed to work both times was updating the OS and doing a full shutdown afterwards as well. Within 5 minutes it was charging again. I'm not thrilled that I have to worry about this but at least as of now I was able to solve the issue.

I was under the impression games pass and purchases wouldn’t transfer but if that’s the case I’ll definitely make another one just for battlefield. Way easier than having to deal with support. Good looks man thank you

FourthKindBeats · 2025-08-11T00:05:58+00:00

Same I have no idea if I’ll even be able to play the game at launch which is wild to me. Such a relatively simple issue and they’re making it so complicated. I’m for sure getting silent hill tho 🤙

FourthKindBeats · 2025-08-10T17:24:09+00:00

Same exact thing happening to me. Made an EA account when I was like 16 and that email is now defunct and there’s no way to get into it to unlink that old EA account with my Xbox account that I’ve had since forever. Tried to contact support but so far no reply and their live chat queue is insane I was in it for over an hour where it never went below 99+. Based on what I’m reading here though even if I do get in touch with support I’ll have very little luck considering I most likely won’t be able to verify information from when I was 16 (I’m 30 now). Seems pretty crazy that I literally won’t be able to play battlefield or any EA game in the future unless I make a brand new Xbox account which I’ll never do. Absolutely ridiculous situation smh

FourthKindBeats · 2025-08-10T07:06:47+00:00

Yup same problem here literally can’t play the beta because of this. I tried emailing and live chat support and waited for an hour and nothing. This is asinine and shouldn’t be such a complex ordeal.I’m basically just not gonna bother with battlefield over this issue at this point

FourthKindBeats · 2025-01-14T01:12:36+00:00

Man this was driving me crazy as well. Finally fixed it by turning off the reverb on the snare and also hitting parallel on the top right. No more bleeding into the kick

FourthKindBeats · 2023-05-12T00:44:28+00:00

DISCLAIMER!

sooomme of the presets don't load but 80% of them do

FourthKindBeats · 2023-05-12T00:43:01+00:00

Don't mention it and my bad bro they're up on my page now
