FL Studio

What works

- Installation

- Registration

- MIDI I/O

- Audio I/O* (stereo duplex only; see note in "what does not work")

- Demo project loads and plays fine

- Every 'native FL' plugin I've tried works, but I have not tried all of them

- VST3 plugins seem to work (have only tested Surge XT)

- VST2 plugins seem to work (have only tested Spire 1.5)

- The FL Studio VSTi (VST2) plugin seems to work (only tested loading it from within FL Studio 21)

- FL Studio ASIO (outputs

What does not

- The included ASIO4ALL does not show detect any audio devices.  This is technically not a part of FL Studio, but is included by default.  This is a moot point for many, since FL Studio ASIO works.

- * Only two inputs and two outputs of my 18input 20ouput interface are detected by FL Studio ASIO.  There may be a way to configure wine to utilize more inputs, but I haven't done much research into this.  For this test, I was using the default winecfg:  winepulse.drv with a "Stereo" speaker configuration.  This may be a wine configuration issue and not an app compatibility issue, but its worth noting.

Workarounds

What was not tested

- Extensive music production

- No testing was done with wineasio; FL Studio ASIO was used for the testing of this report

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

Tested with pipewire 0.3.63 and a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 gen2

Marking this as "Silver" - everything seems to work, except I haven't figured out how to get more than stereo duplex audio I/O, so that prevents it from being higher than silver.
