@Lucifer67983 In the meantime, File > Export > Wave/MP3 to get the full song, and tick "Split mixer tracks" to get stems. File > Export > MIDI file saves your melodies too. That way nothing you made is lost.
@Lucifer67983 Don't close it yet! The trial actually lets you save. File > Save as still writes the .flp, it just won't reopen it until you buy. And the day you get a license, that same file opens with everything intact.
@Prod_ZzimzZ Render heavy synth patterns to audio (right-click the pattern clip in the playlist > Consolidate this clip) and mute the originals
- Keep the charger plugged in and set the Windows power plan to High performance
That usually clears up most of the crackle and lag
@Prod_ZzimzZ Few things that helped me on a laptop:

- In the same window, turn on multi-threaded processing
- Tools > Macros > Switch smart disable for all plugins
