There will always be those who claim that FL Studio isn’t as ‘serious’ as some other DAWs, but the facts suggest otherwise, and it has some notable fans in the pro community, too. 20.7, meanwhile, gives you the tools you need to make a social media-orientated music video, and version 20.8 makes the software even 'faster and more precise'. Image-Line offers lifetime free upgrades to FL Studio users, meaning that all existing users of the software now automatically own upgrades to version 20 on both platforms.Īnd the updates just keep on coming: version 20.5 brought in Flex, a new preset-based soft synth, while 20.6 added a variety of new features.
Pleasingly, licenses are shared between both Mac and PC versions. It allows for a choice of either MP3 or M4A file formats, and offers a selection of quality settings for each to further help tailor the output to your needs.
The headline feature in version 20 was a native 64-bit Mac version, meaning that FL Studio can now be used on macOS (as well as PC) without the need for a clunky workaround. With it, you can record audio on Mac (macOS 10.13 High Sierra included) with ease. Originally launched as FruityLoops, Image-Line's DAW holds near-iconic status for a certain generation of producers, particularly in the hip-hop and EDM realms.
