However, according to Image-Line, users who purchase the newest FL Studio 20 version can also unlock access to previous FL Studio versions, including FL Studio 9, 10, 11, and 12. With that said, there are many places where you can purchase FL Studio 20 online as well as in-person, so you can also gain access to FL Studio 12. Answer (1 of 3): If you can't afford it from the official site of ImageLine, search on ebay and similar sites. There might be people giving it away for a small price and it will surely be cheaper than the official price. FL Studio Merchandise Availability.

Love the app, but keeps crashing
I honestly love this app, it’s taken me a long way. Recently, I’ve had to get a new phone. I’ve been trying to upload all my beats from the cloud, but everytime before I could synchronize. The app crashes. Everytime.
Developer Response,
Thanks for the review! Could you tap HELP -> USERS & SUPPORT FORUM and post your issue there? We will help you resolve the issue!
pbm automation and a bit crusher
good workI really enjoy this I’ve been making a lot of songs using this app I am really enjoying this but the only problem I have is there is no BPM automation that would help so much in creation of songs so for example you make a 150 BPM track and you want to slow it down to 90 to make a Synthwave intro and you can’t because you can’t bpm automated so that would really help if that was added oh yeah and you should also add a bit crusher plug-in that is separated from the distortion plug-in because it kind of annoys me that I have to use the storage shed a bit crush things even though I can get rid of all of it so it would help if you could just give us a new bit crusher plug-in this is just feedback I don’t care if you do it but I really enjoy this and I will be using this for a while until I get FL studio
Fl studio, best on mobile
This is the best app I’ve used for beat creation, I’ve also tried Cubasis 3 and a few other well known brands. I’ve never had an issue until iOS updated 3 days ago. My app kept crashing so I went online to image lines troubleshoot page. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app. It stopped crashing but when I went to connect my Google drive it began crashing again. In other words a year and a half’s work is either lost or unavailable until the crash issue is fixed. I will update my review when this bug gets fixed. Other than that issue I’ve been in complete freedom to create and tweak countless musical ideas and have made endless samples with this program, the automations and effects packed in make you forget you’re on your cell phone. I played a beat the other day for someone and they could not believe I made it on a cell phone.

FL Studio Overview
FL Studio (known initially as Fruity Loops) is an excellent music editing platform for Windows and Macs. It has successfully made the transition from a basic MIDI sequencer to an all-in-one digital music studio application.
Professional Quality Mixing Board
If you’ve never used a mixing board, you might initially be overwhelmed by all the features and tracks available on the FL Studio board. However, once you get familiar with it, you’ll quickly see how easy it is to use. The board is touch-friendly, which is great if you’re using a computer that has a touchscreen, which allows you to mix and fade multiple tracks at once, just like you can with a real board.
The beauty of the FL Studio mixing board is the logical flow. All of the instruments, audio clips, and preset sounds are located on the left side of the board. Next to that is the Channel Rack. Here you can add in any sound generator you want to mix in, such as Drums, piano, bass, and more. Moving towards the center of the board, you’ll find the playlist. This is where you can take all the different elements and arrange them to create the perfect music mix. With 500 tracks, you’ll have plenty of flexibility to add plenty of other instruments, beats, and vocals to each song.
The browser window on the left is your resource for any file you will need, from presets to projects and scores. Clicking on an item will open up a drop-down selection of specific elements.
There is a sound library that you can add your own samples and loops, and includes some excellent plug-ins like DirectWave, EQUO, and Fruity Squeeze. There is a search feature in the library to help you quickly find what you need.
Plenty of Instruments and Preset Sounds
FL Studio comes with the most common instruments, piano, bass, chords, and more. You can play each of the instruments and add your own sound to the playlist or use preset sounds and make adjustments to them. Each instrument has a full set of mixing tools so you can get the perfect sound you’re looking for.
If you can’t find what you want, there are some excellent plug-ins that you can download. There are hundreds of plug-ins, but here are three that are particularly helpful:
Buy Fl Studio Producer Edition
- FPC uses drag-and-drop functionality to place the samples on exactly where you want them.
- Effector makes adding effects to your music easier, with grid divisions. This gives you more control over how the rhythm is divided and includes a filter to allow you to control the sound matrix.
- Soundgoodizer takes any of the four frequency ranges, from the bass through treble, and allows you to improve the sound by changing the dial as much you need.
You can also create your own preset generators, sounds, and setting to help speed up your creative process. By adding presets to the menus in your FL Studio browser, you can have it open up to the sound category that you’re using the most, instead of having to waste time looking for it.
Free Alternatives to FL Studio
- VirtualDJ: Whether you’re mixing music for fun or preparing a DJ set for thousands of club goers, VirtualDJ 2020 can do it all. Upload your music to the mixer and create the perfect set. It records both audio and video, can run a live broadcast through your PC, and connect to a projector if you want to show your mixes on a big screen.
- Cubase: A digital audio workstation, Cubase has a variety of intuitive tools that will help you compose your music quickly. The software includes instruments, sounds, and effects that can easily be added to your tracks.
