Though
similar to other DAWs on this list, FL Studio 11 excels with its commitment to
offer a lifetime of free updates. This doesn’t just extend to updates within FL
Studio 11, rather users who buy any version of FL Studio get downloads of later
FL Studio versions for free. The $299 price tag for the Signature Bundle hardly
seems steep when you factor in never needing to shell out this kind of money
for a DAW again. Aside from the lifetime of free updates, FL Studio 11 packs an
impressive punch.
FL
Studio 11 features some notable upgrades over its predecessor, FL Studio 10.
For starters, it has the capability of accessing up to 512 GB of memory,
depending on the version of your operating system. The added multi-touch
support allows you to control the workstation, as well as some plug-ins, with
compatible touch screen computers or Microsoft gesture functions. The
developers have added 100 more playlist tracks, increasing the total from 99 to
199. They’ve also added a slew of new plug-ins to make editing and enhancing
your music even better. FL Studio created Bass Drum, a plug-in which adds
punchy bass kicks and a deep-kick bass drum synthesizer, in direct response to
its user’s demands for the function. It took this same approach of listening to
its customers when it updated the prior list of plug-ins, too.
Audio
recording and post-production is a breeze with FL Studio’s intuitive interface.
Easily crop, edit, or rearrange any parts of your mixes with just a few clicks
of the mouse. Any sounds you’ve created with FL Studio’s 30 different
synthesizers store in the program’s browser bar on the left side of the screen,
allowing for quick uploads to your tracks. Its Maximums feature compresses and
processes your finished product without sacrificing quality or adding unwanted
distortion. It shows a visual analysis of your mixes while processing which
allows you to adjust the bass levels or sharpen the frequencies if needed.
