Step-by-step export settings for FL Studio - get the perfect file for mastering every time.

Remove Fruity Limiter, Maximus, and Soundgoodizer from the Master channel Make sure the Master volume knob (toolbar) is at 100% - not boosted Check that the Master channel peak is between -6 and -3 dB Go to File → Export → Wave file (.wav) Set Bit depth to 24-bit Set Resample to 512-point sinc (best quality) Enable "HQ for all plugins" for highest quality rendering Disable "Dither" - not needed for 24-bit mastering exports Enable "Leave remainder" to capture reverb and delay tails Click Start and wait for the render to complete

Warning: FL Studio loads a Fruity Limiter on the Master channel by default. Even with the ceiling at 0 dB, it's actively limiting your peaks. Also check for Maximus (multiband compressor/limiter) - both must be removed or bypassed before exporting for mastering.

Tip: Export at your project's native sample rate (44.1 or 48 kHz). Don't downsample - LoudCraft handles sample rate conversion internally with high-quality resampling.

Key takeaway: File > Export > Wave file (.wav). 24-bit, no master bus limiter. That's it.
