Native Mac audio works well in low-latency mode, just as it always does for use with PCs, FL Studio comes bundled with a version of ASIO4ALL, a driver that gives you low latency audio recording and playback even without a proper external interface, and one that works with multiple applications open simultaneously. The program is an 867MB download for PC and 754MB download for macOS. Considering Image-Line has been around for 20 years, chances are good it won't go out of business tomorrow, either. That's an amazing benefit not only do other manufacturers expect you to pony up upgrade fees at least every couple of years, but several have moved to subscription and/or membership-type plans that siphon money out of your account every single month for continued support. Regardless of which version you purchase, you get free lifetime updates from Image-Line-and that includes full number revisions as well as point updates. The All Plugins Bundle ($899) brings in a number of typically extra-cost Image-Line synths, like Poizone, Ogun, Morphine, and the physical modeling-based Sakura for unique string-instrument sounds. Signature ($299), the version I tested, adds the NewTone pitch correction and time editor, the full version of the DirectWave sampler, the slick Harmless additive and subtractive synth, a video player, and a few additional guitar and drum plug-ins. Producer ($199) adds the ability to record with microphones and edit or pitch audio clips, as well as the Sytrus synth. It does include a good selection of synths and effect plug-ins, though, as well as automation support, the step sequencer, the piano roll, and the event editor. Fruity ($99) is entirely for in-the-box music production, and lacks the ability to record or manipulate audio clips. Versions and InstallationįL Studio is available in four versions.
If your memory of FL Studio is closer to its roots-when the Belgian company's audio editing app looked more like a 1980s Amiga tracker than a proper DAW-prepare to be amazed at how far the program has come. And now, for the first time, Mac users can also join in on the fun. While it's still clearly geared for electronic music production "in the box," as opposed to recording live musicians playing acoustic instruments, you can record or create just about any kind of audio project with it. Image-Line's FL Studio, known affectionately by long-term fans as FruityLoops (the app's original name, when it debuted in 1998), has matured into a powerful digital audio workstation (DAW).
