Infotainment

FL Studio is the most complete virtual studio currently
available. It will play any sample file (wav), generator
(softsynth), VSTi & DXi) or midi instrument you feed it.
Image Line has released FL Studio 8, the complete music
production environment.

Representing the culmination of more than 10 years of
sustained development, FL Studio 8 is now the most flexible
virtual music studio in the industry.

Chief Software Architect, Didier Dambrin has realized his
vision of creating an open-architecture virtual studio
environment where the only constraint on the users is their
own imagination. This philosophy is reflected in FL Studio
8’s flexible audio and control data routing, free-form
Playlist design and interoperability with industry
standards (VST/VSTi/VST2, DXi, DXi2, Buzz, ReWire, MIDI,
MP3, WAV, OGG). Didier notes ”We don't try to protect our
data & come up with new formats only for marketing reasons.
We use existing standards as much as possible, and allow FL
Studio to be used as a plugin in other hosts”. In version
8, particular emphasis has been given to improved workflow
through enhanced interface design, so that ideas can be
crystallized and creativity captured.

What is FL8?

FL Studio is a fully featured, open-architecture music
creation and production environment for PC. No extra
software is required to produce any style of music, as a
complete kit of instruments and studio tools is included in
the cost of the package. With the included plugins, sounds
and tools the user can create complete songs, backing
tracks, loops or sizzling beats. Completed songs can be
saved to WAV, MP3, OGG, MIDI,
ZIP or the native project format (.FLP).


Instruments

Make virtually any sound. FL8 includes 29 virtual synthesizers covering acoustic/synthetic bass, electric guitar and plucked string simulation, sampler tools including piano, general sample playback, and beat-slicing, and a range of synthesis techniques (subtractive, modelling, FM, granular and additive). With FL Studios newest addition, FL Synthmaker - a fully modular environment, you can now create & share your own FL instruments, effects & dashboards without the need to write basic code.

Audio Recording & Editing

Capture audio from a single vocalist or a full symphony orchestra. FL8 can record up to 64 simultaneous tracks of audio. The Playlist workspace can contain an unlimited number of audio tracks and allows you to arrange discrete audio events in any order or position the creative process dictates with complete flexibility. Audio tools allow the user to time-stretch, pitch-shift, beat-slice, chop, edit and creatively destruct audio. FL8 audio editing is further enhanced with Edison, the recording wave editor. Edison is a fully integrated audio editing and recording tool with spectral analysis, convolution reverb, loop-recording, loop-construction tools and more…

FL Studio imports/exports WAV, MP3 and OGG formats.

Sequencing

Record musical performances and ideas in the most logical way. FL8 functions as both a pattern and track based sequencer, depending on user preferences. Tools include an unlimited track Step-sequencer, an industry-leading Piano Roll and Automation Clips. FL Studio supports MIDI and input from all standard Controllers.

FL8 is the fastest way from your brain to your speakers.

Arranging

Determine your own project design. In FL8, you decide how your project will be laid out. Unlike the competition, FL8's Playlist is a totally flexible and virtually unbounded space where Note Pattern, Audio and Automation data can be arranged and edited to suit your creative ideas and preferred workflow.

Mixing/Mastering

The most powerful mixer in its class. FL8 includes an industry-leading 64 stereo track mixer. Each track can hold a stack of 8 effects (VST, DX or FL) and, if desired, be routed to any of the other 64 tracks or one of 4 dedicated 'send' channels. The 44 included effects plugins span - Maximization, Limiting, Compression, Delay, Distortion, Equalization (graphic & parametric), Filtering, Phasing, Flanging, Chorus, Vocoding and Reverb. These will take you from the creative broad-brush effects like reverb, through to the minutia of the mastering process with multiband compression/limiting and parametric EQ.

Lifetime free updates

Registered FL Studio users who purchase the download edition of the program receive lifetime free updates to the level of the program they buy (Express, Fruity, Producer or XXL edition).
