![]() FL runs primarily on Windows although it's possible to run it on Mac using Darwine. I haven't experienced any notable performance issues with that hardware. I use it with a Native Instruments Komplete 6, Avid Mbox 3 Mini, Akai MPK Mini MIDI controller and occasionally with other gear. I often get a complete beat done in 20 - 60 minutes on FL. The workflow is unique, but can be very effective once you find your way around it. It may take some time to get used to for newbies or those who are used to traditional DAWs like Protools, Cubase or Studio One. ![]() When it comes to getting out ideas really fast nothing beats FL Studio once you've gotten used to the workflow. I've used FL Studio for 10 years and it's still my main DAW to this day. It crashes at random times so it's important to save regularly otherwise you risk losing your work. The main problem I come across is instability of the software. I run FL 11 on 2 physical Windows 7 machines and 1 virtual Windows XP machine with no major issues. You're also given the option to install it as a Rewire device for use in other DAWs. It doesn't allow you record using any other driver except ASIO which can be frustrating at times. During setup you're prompted to install the ASIO4LL driver which is a must if you want to use FL Studio to record. But if your new to the DAW it may take some time to get used to because it is an unconventional DAW. If you're familiar with the FL Studio family then there are no major changes in this edition and you can get to work really fast as I did. I actually learned how to use FL mostly from the user manual itself which speaks volumes on its clarity. It also comes with a comprehensive user manual which explains almost every aspect of the GUI including some basics in electronic music. It supports MIDI input and can be used with various hardware devices including keyboards, drum pads and other devices such as the Maschine. You can use it for sequencing, recording, mixing, mastering, programming drums, inputting MIDI data, etc. If you already own the signature bundle from previous versions then you can get 11 for free. ![]() It contains all the FL Studio features with no restrictions and costs $299. ![]() FL Studio 11 XXL Signature Bundle is the most complete FL Studio package you can get.
