A problem running FL Studio via CX is often the high latency. Either try
to lower it to the cpu max via the setup-panel or, if it isnt low
enough, try installing WINEASIO, this will give you a fully implemented
Asio Driver in Wine. If you cant get it to run in CX try it in Wine
first and see how it works. (Wineasio will send it sound over jackd, so
jackd will be required!)
Get Wine-Asio here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/
For 64bit users it might not work, instead use this version:
http://people.jacklab.net/drumfix/wineasio-x.tgz
For Debian/Ubuntu users there is a deb file availiable:
http://homerecording.de/~4damind/hr/wineasio-x_0.3.deb
CAUTION! The deb file is most certainly out of date and maybe not
functional on 32bit systems, as i have not tested it yet.
If not in your Distros Repository, get jackd source here:
http://jackaudio.org/download
If not in your Distros Repository, get qjackctl source here:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/
Get the wine-dev files here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77449
For a decent jack interface get the qjackctl package. It will provide
you with the jackd sound server deamon (if your distro solves
dependencys automaticly, other wise you have to get jackd seperate) and a
jack interface. Be sure to configure and start the jackd BEFORE
launching FL Studio. The you still might have to patch the FL Studio
output to the jack input, which can easily be done via the connect panel
in qjackctl.
For Compiling the Wine-Asio Driver you will need the asio.h file out of
the Asio SDK, which is not under any free licence. You will have to
create an account at Steinberg to get it. (As its listed under 3rd Party
devel tools)
Also required for compiling is the wine-dev and libjack-dev.
Further Instructions will be included in the winasio source code.
IMPORTANT: you probably have to take the generated wineasio.dll and copy
it into the /windows/system32 folder of your FL bottle.
Then when doing the "regsvr32 wineasio.dll" as stated in the wineasio
README you have to put the WINEPREFIX command in front (especially if
you have wine installed):
# WINEPREFIX=/home/USER/.cxoffice/flbottle/ regsvr32 wineasio.dll
After succesfully implemented wineasio, you only have to use winecfg and
select ALSA as the ONLY soundserver.
Then in FL Studio select the WINEASIO driver.
To launch FL Studio:
1. start qjackctl
2. launch jack server via qjackctl
3. launch FL Studio
Thats about it. Dont hesitate to start n bump a post on the forum on the
topic if you need help.
