FL Studio Integrator

Integrate FL Studio with your Linux system.

So what does it do?

It doesn't take care of installing FL Studio, but integrating it with the system:

  • Provides(/Installs) a shell script that runs the .exe with Wine and a .desktop application shortcut (/and an icon);

  • Associates the .flp files and allows to open them (thanks defusq) from the file manager, desktop etc., or the terminal: fl-studio-integrator "/path/to/*.flp".

In version 1.0.4, two new integrations have been added for .exe, .lnk, .msi and .reg files!

How to install

Arch - the AUR.

Different distros:

Home

  1. Download Source Code (from releases) and the icon (as fl-studio.png).

  2. Extract the file and move .local to the home directory ~.

  3. Go to ~/.local/share/applications, make fl-studio-integrator, -elm, and -reg executable and edit the WINEPREFIX path in them.

  4. Add /home/ReplaceThisWithYourUSERname in fl-studio-integrator.desktop, -elm, and -reg to Exec= and Icon= (before /.local/..).

  5. Go to ~/.config and add application/flp=fl-studio-integrator.desktop; in mimeapps.list.

To open from the terminal create alias commands:

alias fl-studio-integrator='~/.local/share/applications/fl-studio-integrator'

alias fl-studio-integrator-elm='~/.local/share/applications/fl-studio-integrator-elm'

alias fl-studio-integrator-reg='~/.local/share/applications/fl-studio-integrator-reg'

in one of these files (depending on your shell): ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc / ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

Root

  1. Download snapshot from the AUR and the icon (as fl-studio.png).
  2. Make fl-studio-integrator, -elm, and -reg executable and edit the WINEPREFIX path in them.
  3. Place the files like in the PKGBUILD (lines 32-39, /usr/..).
  4. sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime (for file associations).

Tips

Plugin GUI glitches

  1. Running the plugin in a Detached mode; re-clicking Captonize or Detailed settings buttons; clicking on the plugin.
  2. export WINEDDLOVERRIDES="d2d1=disabled".
  3. Installing DXVK and/or VKD3D (they can fix glitches in some, but also cause them in others, particularly DXVK).
  4. Wine versions with the Vulkan child window patch (more information), such as: wine-ge-custom, wine-lutris or wine-tkg (although this one has to be built with the patch, but there's an unofficially pre-built version on Copr).

DXVK/VKD3D

Winetricks

In the terminal: cd /path/to/prefix -> winetricks dxvk vkd3d.

To update, add the -f (force) flag.

Or with the GUI:

cd /path/to/prefix (in the terminal) -> winetricks -> Selected the default wineprefix OK -> Install a Windows DLL.. OK -> dxvk vkd3d OK.

Manual

Symlink the prefix to ~/.wine.

Download DXVK and the install script -> ./setup_dxvk.sh install in the terminal.

Download VKD3D -> ./setup_dxvk.sh install in the terminal.

After installing you can delete the symlink.

To update, do the same steps; to uninstall, change install to uninstall."

Low latency WineASIO, adjust with PIPEWIRE_QUANTUM, which is already included in the scripts.

Virtual desktop wine explorer /desktop=FLStudio,RESOLxUTION, for example, 1920x1080.

Wine Breeze Dark theme Link.

To install, open the file with FL Studio REG (or fl-studio-integrator-reg in the terminal).

Disabling internet access in the prefix

Wine Control Panel (fl-studio-integrator-elm "/path/to/drive_c/windows/system32/control.exe" or go to the path and open it with FL Studio ELM) -> Internet Settings -> Connections -> Use a proxy server ✓ - Type something in Address and Port - Apply - OK

Possible performance improvements

GameMode gamemoderun wine

  • Renice

Adjusting the nice value/priority of processes in /etc/gamemode.ini, for example, to 7 (High).

fsync Needs a patched Wine version, such as: wine-ge-custom, wine-lutris or wine-tkg.

export WINEESYNC=0 WINEFSYNC=1

NVIDIA These might cause issues.

export __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=0 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus="NVIDIA_only" VK_ICD_FILENAMES="/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json"

__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME="nvidia", __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 and prime-run (can) cause crashes.

DXVK/VKD3D might also help.

Of course, this project is in no way affiliated with the FL Studio developers.
