I just entered random notes to test my fl studio, however I am experiencing this weird distorted sound that is worse inside of fl studio. The only way I can describe it, is that it sounds like a drop of water into a hot cooking oil after each note plays. There also is the issue of the slight gap I see/feel when I record audio into the playlist, I did a cable loop test from my focusrite output back into the input, the recorded screenshot is shown in the video.

I have done the buffer length and sample rate adjustments shown on YouTube. I have tried on my windows laptop and my iMac, same issue.

Please help.

The plugin used was Flex Acoustic piano.
