Because of this - and some excellent new features, which we’ll come to later - version 20 is a complete no-brainer for existing users. Image-Line already offers lifetime free upgrades to all FL Studio users, meaning that all existing users of the software now automatically own upgrades to version 20 on both platforms.
Pleasingly, licenses are shared between both Mac and PC versions.
The headline feature here is a native 64-bit Mac version, meaning that FL Studio can now be used on OS X/MacOS without the need for a clunky work-around.
However, while it undoubtedly has legions of fans, historically FL Studio has been a PC-only affair.Īll that changes with FL Studio 20 (which, confusingly is actually version 13, but titled for the software’s 20th anniversary). Originally launched as FruityLoops - a title it’s often still colloquially known by - and inspired by Propellerhead’s much-loved Rebirth app, the loop-sequencer-turned-DAW holds a near-iconic status for a certain generation of producers, particularly in hip-hop and EDM realms.
