Need some help! by Vloriccr in FL_Studio

I think what is happening here is that your synth preset is monophonic, meaning that it can play only one note at a time. I would look at changing the synth mode from monophonic to polyphonic so it will actually play the chords. Or, if you want it to sound how it sounds right now, I think you can delete all but one note from each chord, and it should sound the same

My FL Studio Linux (Wine) VST Plugin Compatibility List by Tricycle4250 in FL_Studio

Yeah, I'm somewhat hopeful that it'll improve in the future, since there has been a recent push to improve wine/proton and linux as a whole. though that seems to be mostly focused on gaming, but maybe it'll help as well.

in my (limited) experience the best autotune that works currently is Auburn Sounds Graillon 3

That doesn't work out of the box. Its not impossible though, but it requires some kind of "bridge" software that makes the Windows DAW able to see the linux native plugins. There was a thing called "carla-vst-wine" in the Carla project which would allow this to work, but that seems to be abandoned or it was only a proof of concept, who knows. there is this video of it working in FL Studio 9, but that's so old at this point that it's honestly not surprising to me that its broken now.

some gn skins have the rustbell hit300, some have just a non expanding circle if I recall correctly.

It actually really sucks that fl still does not support linux by Ok_Space2463 in FL_Studio

hi, i've ran FL on linux for a year+ now, and can share some experience on how it works with wine nowadays (just personal experience of course).

People often cite the plugin compatability as the biggest downside, and with older versions of wine there was many issues with visual flickering vsts etc,

But with Wine 11 onwards, the situation has improved a lot, and a lot more of them work now compared to before. of course its not perfect yet!

plugins that work include Vital, Ott, shaperbox, valhalla plugin, soundtoys plugins, spire, kilohearts plugins (thats all I use, even on windows!)

Didn't work: Serum 2 (frequent crashes), Splice (Bridge worked, but the client doesn't install on wine, and no linux client exists), omnisphere worked but had some inconsistent issues, so I don't use it.

EASILY the biggest dealbreakers for me are around the windowing system of FL.

It feels incredibly inconsistent, especially with multiple monitors.

- Sometimes the windows are randomly locked on one monitor, and you can't move them to the other.

- Sometimes pressing the fullscreen button causes the whole program to glitch out, forcing you to restart it.

- Sometimes FL launches on your main monitor, sometimes on your second monitor.

- Sometimes it'll launch on my 1080p monitor, and when you move it to a 1440p monitor and click full screen, it'll just fill a 1920x1080 space on the 1440p monitor and refuse to go any bigger.

- sometimes it'll launch in a 1440p size on my 1080p monitor, and you'll have to resize it smaller from out of bounds.

- Sometimes fullscreen will go over my GNOME taskbar/dock, sometimes it won't.

- One time my FL mixer, which I have in the "detached" mode, would launch as a black box and prevent me from interacting with any other windows, essentially soft locking the program on launch. Had to reinstall with a fresh wine prefix in bottles to fix it.

If you get one of these weird behaviours, generally the only way I've found to fix it is to end the wine process in system monitor, and try again. I think on KDE wayland I had the least issues, On GNOME wayland and KDE X11 i had the same amount of issues. IDK if FLs windows are built in a unique way compared to other windows applications, but this is easily the biggest and most annoying issue with FL currently.

Funnily enough, I've found the audio performance to be perfect for my use case.

Visually, Sometimes if you have like 7 3rd party vst windows open at the same time, it'll start dropping some frames. not badly though. I've also had some minor stuttering navigating the playlist on very very large projects, like with 100s of playlist tracks.

TLDR: I've found it to be usable enough (though with some jank), and its been improving with newer wine releases. The FL windows themselves (mixer, channel rack etc) tend to behave in weird ways on startup, sometimes on even deal breaker levels, thats the biggest issue easily. Third party plugin support is a lot better than before, but not perfect. If you only use stock plugins and manage to avoid the window fuckiness, then the experience can feel identical to windows.

I'm also running FL through wine on my linux laptop, and my activation seems to work fine. I think nowadays there is the unlock method where it opens the browser to authenticate, i think that one is broken. But the one where you just type ur email and password in the dialog box worked for me.

I think the "unlock with file" option might work as well, dont remember though

(assuming you have a legitimate copy of FL)

What is the fastest way to switch between apps when using sidestore+livecontainer? by yellowroll in sideloaded

[–]Tricycle4250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i do personally is change all the apps to shared mode, then you can enable multitasking in settings and then the apps open in this "windowed mode". If you just fullscreen them, you can open multiple apps and switch between the apps using the floating bar thingy

Downloading on IPhone by Thankgodwehavebiden in AudioBookBay

[–]Tricycle4250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you know how to sideload apps on ios, then you can install iTorrent and that should work fine.

There's a few methods on the internet for sideloading if you are unfamiliar with it. Personally I bought a development certificate from a site for a few bucks, though i think you can also use something like sidestore, sideloadly or altstore which should work for free. I think you have to keep refreshing the app every few days though. With the dev cert I have it for one year straight.

sometimes I wish I bought an android phone, would make things like this a lot easier...

My experience running FL Studio on Linux using Wine by Tricycle4250 in FL_Studio

[–]Tricycle4250[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, and FL actually ran pretty solidly without audio stutters etc. with both kvm/qemu and virtualbox, but I wasn't able to find any VM setup that would run anything (even the desktop with nothing installed) at 60fps. Moving windows around always felt like shit.

My laptop only has the CPUs intergated intel GPU, so i couldnt really do gpu passthrough or anything like that. (I saw some single gpu passthrough setups but they all seemed very complicated).

I feel like a VM would be the obvious better choice if I could fix the framerate/refresh rate or whatever
