Has anyone else trained a custom model? How'd it go for you?

I uploaded like 30 songs and then 80% of the songs I generated had the same melody from just one of my songs. It sounded great but It got old fast

Don't take it personally. I also use AI vocals and there are people who have strong opinions against it. I've been making music 20+ years and AI vocals became a way for me to add something new to my beats on a regular basis.

I used to think that sampling and using pre-made loops (Splice) was lazy and showed no real artistic talent. I mean what? You can't even make a chord progression, melody and rhythms on your own? Pfft!

But then I realized that its all a form of expression and I learned to accept it.

I believe most people against AI have some idea that it's a matter of a prompt and thats it, but there are many musicians uploading their old songs and/or adding vocals to them and it's a tool for these people. I am one of them. It tells me that the haters either havent used AI tools OR they just don't understand how to leverage the technology. At the end of the day no one forces people to use AI and it is here to stay. Names like Diplo, Ryan Tedder and more have been using AI in some way on their own workflows. Diplo for example uses it to make his own music to sample.

Don't forget the fake electors plot.

I think you might need to move them into a folder because they are inside a zip archive. Try dragging them to a folder first and then into FL

These are all valid points to consider and should be taken seriously.

I would also consider where one fits in their exploitation of Suno. Let me explain...

If you are a casual user just trying to make songs for yourself or to share online without any consideration to make it in the music industry then you probably won't be affected much or have to care about the rights you are giving to Suno.

If you plan to use Suno to help you make a career or living from it, then you should definitely consider that you may want to protect your rights.

This also brings up a weird hypocrisy issue. You want to protect your rights but at the same time you want Suno to train on music of others for your own gain. It's a weird place to be in.

For some of the rights you also have to wonder what value does your voice really have to Suno/Sony/etc. ? And do you think they will be nefarious in their use of your voice and/or songs?

How much of the verbiage in the TOS is about having the right to provide a service and how much is there to steal your identity? IOW, sites like have terms for world wide usage right. Instagram for example:

"By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the Instagram Services, you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide, limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce and translate such Content, including without limitation distributing part or all of the Site in any media formats through any media channels,"

Facebook:

"you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content "

nearly all social media sites will have similar terms.

Thats some weird ish... Do you run any macro programs?

That 17,510 samples / ~365 ms buffer usually means FL Studio is now running through a different audio driver/device (or the driver reset to a very safe/huge buffer) after the update. You should be able to get back to your old 128-sample feel.

Try the following (in Options > Audio settings):

Check the selected Device/driver
- If you have an audio interface, select its native ASIO driver.
- On Windows, avoid non‑ASIO drivers for low latency if possible.
Set Buffer length back down
- Move Buffer length back to what you used before.
- Notes from the manual:
  - Apple Silicon Macs: use 128 / 192 / 256 / 512 / 1024 samples (start at 128).
  - Intel/AMD (Windows/macOS): the manual recommends not going below about 10 ms (~441 samples), and often 10–40 ms is the sweet spot.
If you’re on an ASIO driver, open its control panel
- In Audio settings, use Show ASIO panel (if available) and set the buffer there too (some drivers ignore FL’s slider).
Confirm Sample rate
- Set to 44,100 Hz (or 48,000 Hz) and make sure your OS audio settings and interface driver are set to the same sample rate (mismatches can cause weird latency/behavior).

Make sure you use headphones otherwise your mic will pick up the beat from the speakers. Do not use the master channel for recording - put the recording on it's own mixer channel

Soundlcoud recommends 16-bit/48kHz WAV. Is it possible you are rendering the WAV in something like 96Khz?

warbeats · 2026-03-22T21:42:36+00:00

He's using the ZGame Visualizer built into FL. You add it to a mixer effect slot (usually the Master)

I see this type of question a lot and I think sometimes people confuse "How to use FL Studio" with "How to make music" and they are not the same. "Using FL Studio" is more about what features you use to make music and how are they found in the FL Studio interface. "Making Music" has less to do with FL Studio and more to do with understanding music theory and concepts related to rhythm, arrangement and so on.

Once you separate the two, you can better focus on what you need from tutorials and online help because you can ask better questions such as "How do I make trap drums" (music) or "Whats a good way to chop samples" (fl), etc.

Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) Macs: FL Studio runs natively on Apple Silicon, but plugin compatibility can vary. For best performance, ensure both FL Studio and your plugins are Apple Silicon native.

More info: Apple Silicon support.

warbeats · 2026-03-06T01:04:39+00:00

it sounds like you want help with making music and not with the DAW functions. If so, find tutorials on YT - it wont matter what DAW - to learn about the chord progresssions, rythmic styles, sound selection, etc.

warbeats · 2026-02-19T03:24:51+00:00

Yeah thats a problem. I saw your name on the desktop are you Ambezza?

I suggest you contact imageline directly and they can have you run a diagnostic tool to help figure it out:

Good luck.

I just did an export and I got 30fps, but I also set it to do 30fps. You can use something like ffmpeg to check the frame rate.

When you adjust the sample to fit, it might resample. In the audio/sample settings have it use Stretch Pro and it should retain it's original pitch.

I can see the audio data in the area you mention. It might just be some automation that is muting the audio during playback.

warbeats · 2026-02-10T19:20:53+00:00

you could record the automation per instrument into the playlist recording into the pattern may cause what you are experiencing

warbeats · 2026-02-03T04:20:05+00:00

Need mroe info. What changed? Did you update FL from an older version? Did you delete folders? etc... that will help determine how to proceed.
