Downloaded the demo of FL en what i noticed is, some of the flp took more than 50% cpu.
Like the styrus mix flp. (or something like that)
Anyway just curious.
So ya, is it normal?

i didnt notice any significant CPU load hit when moving from floops 4.51 to floops 5.0
but then im used to adding 2 vanguards, boshing up a pad patch, striking an 11 chord on both of them and watching the CPU meter shoot up to 100% thus crashing my PC. didnt notice that it was any worse though.

Adjust your sample rate for the audio buffer. It defaults at a very low rate, move it up to like 200 ms atleast.

for me, the CPU load doesn't change for a flp between FL 4.52 and FL 5.0
check your settings, as SoM said. you can't leave it slow like that
switching from reason to FL man ?

Donno
I know it eats Cpu, but i thought a pentium 4 2.8 gighz could eat some instruments before reaching 70%

I use FL5 with a Athlon 64 3000+, 512 RAM and an onboard soundcard ( ) and it works just fine, except I have bad latency (because of the soundcard).. Stuff that wouldn't play before on the old P4 1,7 Ghz only reach about 15-20 CPU now.

doesn't quite improve the musical side of producing..
I run fully automated logic songs with a few vanguards playing 4 note pads, a few es2's and about 10 esx 24's and some other sw synths controlling 6 hw synths on 10 ms latency while recording the outputs of my mixer on a 1-year old pc so I really can't see why people with a recent pc should set the latency this high. I prefer playing notes realtime so I couldn't live with it anyway.
Instead of spending loads of money on top notch cpu's I think it's a wiser decision to spend money on a decent soundcard. Top notch cpu's are wasted money anyway, just look how much they cost after 2 years. I know I won't impress anyone with my 2.6 cpu but at least I can do what I want with it when it comes to producing

Well a new pc was a must for me.
I couldn't continue on my old pent 3 866..
But does this mean that a good soundcard increases the work performance?

in any case it increases the workflow/confort, because it gives you a DECENT latency
