Existing FL Studio users will get the new version for free, thanks to Image-Lines's lifetime updates plan, while new customers can expect to pay $90 for the entry-level version. Fruity Loops, now known as FL Studio, is a nifty little (well the old versions were little.the latest version is over 200 MB :) music sequencer. Other new features include support for different time signatures, in-situ audio rendering, Playlist support for multiple arrangements, new and updated plugins, and extended recording options. It doesnt make sense, but FL Studio is insanely good value for money, especially for the Producer Edition. Support is available for both VST and AU plugins, and projects are interchangeable with PC and Mac - transition between the two even takes into account third-party plugins, as long as they're installed on both platforms. The other big leap is that FL Studio is shaking off its Windows exclusivity and is now available on as a native 64-bit application for Mac. No, you haven't somehow missed eight releases - it simply honors the 20 years the software has been in existence, including its former FruityLoop days.
Image-Line has released the latest version of its music production software, and it's seen a big jump since its last offering of FL Studio 12.
