A complete virtual studio with synth creation and unlimited audio tracks!
Image Line's
FL Studio 8 is an extremely flexible virtual music studio. The man behind FL8 Chief Software Architect Didier Dambrin was
dedicated to creating an open-architecture studio environment where the only constraint on the users is their own imagination.
This philosophy is reflected in adjustable audio and control data routing free-form Playlist design and interoperability with
industry standards (VST/VSTi/VST2 DXi DXi2 Buzz ReWire MIDI MP3 WAV OGG). In version 8 particular emphasis was given to improved
music production workflow through enhanced interface design so that ideas can be crystallized and captured.
Designed for
the PC or an Intel Mac (see system requirements below) FL8 requires no extra software to produce any style of music. Everything
you need is included; plug-ins MIDI audio and output support; several generators/soft synths; all the music creation automation
mixer FX rack updates and online features; more than 1900 presets using 600 WAV files; and a generic sample CD. With the included
plug-ins sounds and tools you can create complete songs backing tracks loops and sizzling beats. Finished songs can be saved
in WAV MP3 MIDI ZIP or native project formats (FLP).
Virtual Instruments
FL8 software includes
13 virtual synthesizers covering acoustic/synth bass electric guitar and plucked string simulation; sampler tools include
piano general sample playback and beat-slicing; and a range of synthesis techniques (subtractive modeling FM granular and
additive). With its newest addition FL Synthmaker (full)- a fully modular environment - you can create and share your own
FL instruments effects and dashboards without the need to write basic code.
Audio Recording & Editing
FL8 can record up to 64 simultaneous tracks of audio making it possible to capture audio from a single vocalist right
through to a full symphony orchestra. The Playlist workspace can contain an unlimited number of audio tracks. It also gives
you the flexibility to arrange discrete audio events in any order and position the creative process the way you want to. Audio
tools let you time-stretch pitch-shift beat-slice chop edit and creatively destruct audio. The Image Line team has further
enhanced its Edison Wave Editor a totally integrated audio editing and recording tool with spectral analysis convolution reverb
loop recording and more.
Sequencing
Image Line's FL8 functions as both a pattern and track-based
sequencer depending on your preferences so you can record musical performances and ideas in a more logical way. Tools include
an unlimited track Step-sequencer an advanced Piano Roll and Automation Clips. It supports MIDI and input from all standard
controllers.
Arranging
FL8's Playlist lets you decide how your project will be laid out.
Note Pattern Audio and Automation data can be arranged and edited to suit your creative ideas and workflow.
Mixing/Mastering
FL8 Studio sofware includes a 64 stereo track mixer where each track can include up to 8 effects and can also be routed
to any of the other 64 tracks or one of 4 dedicated "send" channels. The 44 included effects plug-ins include Maximizer Limiter
Compression Delay Distortion EQ Filtering Phasing Flanging Chorus Vocoding and Reverb. These will take you from the creative
broad-brush effects like reverb to more minute parts of the mastering process with multi-band compression/limiting and parametric
EQ.
