FL Studio 12 tweaked the now-called Channel Rack, which is the window which houses a project’s instruments and samplers. It punctuated FL Studio’s evolution into a complex and scalable DAW that retained all the super-fast, easy to use and intuitive features that helped make it famous. From Previous Version FL Studio 12…īefore the 20th version, FL Studio 12 was by far the strongest. Let’s take a detailed look at where we are with the FL Studio line of DAWs and what changes FL Studio 20 brings to the table. The times are-a-changin once more, though, and Image-Line’s FL Studio 20 marks 20 years since the first Fruity Loops was released back in the late 90s. The last version, FL Studio 12, wrapped up decades of software evolution from Fruity Loops – a simple drum and synth sequencing program to FL Studio – a professionally capable full-blown DAW. Its modern developments have seen its professional user base grow to include headline names like the late great Avicii, Martin Garrix, Camo and Krooked, Deadmau5 and Afrojack. As a DAW which has always offered usability, innovation, and functionality, FL Studio remains one of the world’s most popular music production programs. Image-Line’s quirky, individualistic and unmistakably colorful FL Studio has gone from strength to strength since its initial 1997 release.
