Image-Line has jumped ahead a little with FL Studio 20 because the company’s last version was number 12, so what gives? Well, the company is celebrating 20 years of the software and that policy I mentioned is its lifetime of free updates, which means just what it says.
That’s possibly down to a vocal user community who will certainly shout if they don’t get what’s required and it’s a community that has also stood by the software, perhaps in gratitude at one of Image-Line’s policies which it is celebrating within this all-new release, FL Studio 20. It’s a hard line to balance – how to add professional features without compromising ease of use – but with consistently good updates, its makers, Image-Line, seem to have walked that tightrope. However, like all DAWs, it has become something of a production powerhouse over the years, yet tried to keep that simplistic ethos that won it so many fans at the start. It’s always been ’the easy sequencer’ to make tunes on quickly – too quickly according to some of its early detractors.
FL Studio is a two-decade old piece of software that also seems to have won the hearts and minds of much of the music production community, especially Stateside.Īs we’ll see later, FL Studio started almost as a game – many of its early adopters certainly produced on it rather like they were playing a video game.
