The installation folder for the ontent/samples of the mugentPlayer cannot be changed during installation.

It can be changed after the installation within the player e.g. to save storage space on the C drive. You can set the path to this folder under Settings in the player’s menu. Any previously downloaded samples, if available, will be automatically moved to the new folder.

Interfering noises (cracking, crackling, hissing) can have the following causes:

1. Buffer size too low:
Check the settings in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and increase the buffer size if possible.
A buffer size that is too small can lead to audio dropouts and noise if your computer’s CPU cannot keep up with the workload.

2. Use fixed buffer size in FL Studio:
FL Studio may experience noise if Use Fixed Size Buffer is not enabled.
Here is a short tutorial video showing how to enable this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RlElAJAkGs

3. Avoid overloading the master output:
Make sure you don’t have clipping on the master output in your DAW.
Work with enough headroom internally, and use a limiter at the end of your master chain to prevent clipping when exporting.

4. Problem with your sound card:
Check your sound card, cables, and connections. Defective or faulty cables can cause noise.
Make sure everything is connected correctly and in good condition. If necessary, you could also update the drivers for your sound card.

5. Balanced and unbalanced cables:
Balanced cables, such as XLR cables, are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and can reduce noise.
If you use unbalanced cables such as jack or RCA, make sure they are properly routed and shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Here’s more about the differences between balanced and unbalanced cables (German only):
