Image Line Software Announces New Version of DAW
Mar 25, 2008 8:36 PM
FL Studio 8, the latest
version of Image Line Software's digital audio workstation, is now out. With a
pedigree stretching back 10 years to the original FruityLoops, FL Studio 8
supersedes FL Studio 7 with more than 100 new developments including an
improved interface, sound engine, revised mixer, the addition of pattern clips
to the playlist, new multilink MIDI learn system, a suite of new plug-ins and
many other updates.
FL Studio 8 also adds FL
SynthMaker, an FL Studio native version of the plug-in development application
SynthMaker. Users can now create their own virtual instruments, effects and
MIDI dashboards, use them in FL Studio, and share them with other SynthMaker
users, all without the need to write basic code. (FL SynthMaker is included in
Producer and XXL editions.)
The Producer and XXL
Editions also include Slicex—a powerhouse drumloop slicer and rearranging tool.
And free to all users, FL Studio 8 includes a suite of new and creative
plug-ins, including Fruity Limiter, a single band compressor/limiter; Wave
Candy, a flexible audio analysis and visualization tool with oscilloscope, spectrum
analyzer and peak meter; and Soundgoodizer, a stereo maximizer-enhancer plug-in
based on the Maximus sound-processing engine.
FL Studio is available in
four editions: Express ($49, download only), FruityLoops ($99 download, $139
boxed), Producer ($199 download, $269 boxed) and XXL ($299 download, $399
boxed). Download versions come with lifetime free updates. Get it all at
