Does 96 Core Server CPU work well for music production?
-According to the creators of FL Studio, They insist that the daw will run better on stronger cores rather then many.

-Server cpu cores can be -2x -x4 times weaker per core then consumer cpus.

Can CPU that have graphic core/cores like AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D make a DAW perform better?
-No

Does a strong GPU help a daw?

-It shouldn't,

-But old hardware can bottleneck the computer, so.

-i would rather recommend the newest graphics card but the weakest version of it on a budget.

Increase Mono

Gain more power in the center
Two different ways that are normally not available in stereo plugins.
1.Center increases the volume of the mono/center signal.
2.Mirror creates new mono from the side+mid signal.

It does not reshape the original sound, it only adds mono on top.


Mirror Reference Signal, if enabled, becomes inverted with swap mirror on.


You need this tool for replacing the mono signal. https://www.meldaproduction.com/MUtility


Update: FL Center plugin now gives better sound on par with the others!

Now also with filtering! (Filtering uses fabfilter-Q3)

My Top Recommended Plugins and Bundles

Waves Horizon Bundle
Fabfilter Mastering Bundle
MFreeFXBundle (Just the Waveshaper, Utillity and
Oscilloscope)
Brauer Motion and Kaleidoscopes (For Pad SoundDesign)
Waves Harmony (Can Add weigth to a vocal, The Autotune Stuff is not useful to me)
Izotope Trash (New optimized distortion plugin from izotope)
StereoSavage (I use it mostly for Stereoizing, then Waves S1 for Stereo Correction)

I do not like the artifacts from Ozone Imager. Its Stereo Scope is useful.

Valhalla Room (Popular, The UI is easy to understand.)
Vocal Bender (Powerful Live pitch tool)

Soothe 2 (Make your sound design more acoustic)

Komplete: Collectors Edition (Buy this when it goes on sale)

Shaperbox: Volumeshaper (Bass sidechaining to -infinity, which compressors can't)

Aphex Vintage Exciter (Useful in small amounts, for brightness in sound design)

schOPE (I use this a lot on highcut with linear-phase to check lows in master)

I recommend buying them Black Friday/Week Sales.
