Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Competition in the world of all-in-one music-creation suites has grown considerably since Fruity Loops first started breaking beats. With a new name and a new interface, FL Studio is reestablishing its place as a full-featured and affordable audio-production program.
The photo-realistic mixing-board interface, littered with small, unlabeled icons and burdened with a confusing file browser, makes the learning curve steeper than it should be. Once you clear that hurdle, though, this enjoyable product will have you making music in no time. The Fruityslicer makes short work of chopping up breaks, and the simple step-based drum machine lets you create your own. You can bind FL Studio to other programs via VSTi and DXi plug-ins. A full selection of software instruments is included so you can start playing immediately. All the usual suspects are there, from vintage, buzzy, analog imitators to wacky sound effects and generic voice samples.
FL Studio offers a tremendous value for what you get. Comparable products cost nearly twice as much. FL Studio's quirky sound generators and interoperability make it a great addition to any studio. Be warned, though: several versions of FL Studio are available, so more features are included as the price goes up.
Publisher's description
From Image Line Software :FruityLoops is a software synthesizer and sequencer that allows you to create drum and other audio loops. This program is easy enough for beginners to learn, but under the hood you'll find powerful tools meant for serious musicians. FruityLoops utilizes MIDI and DirectSound (internal mixing), and 16-bit 44KHz stereo output, and 32-bit floating-point internal mixing. You'll also get support for VST plug-ins, as well as individual panning, volume, pitch, mix, resonance, and cutoff on each note; digital effects, such as stretching, fading, reverb, and so on; and master/slave MIDI synchronization capabilities.
Version 3.56 features a new clock toolbar, changed tempo and pattern selectors, a new user interface for SimSynth Live, improved wrappers and fixed timing information, VSTi client features, and various improvements and bug fixes.
