Image Line has released the much anticipated complete
music production environment, FL Studio 7.
Representing the culmination of more than 9 years of
sustained development, FL Studio 7 is set to become
the most flexible virtual music studio tool in the
industry.
Chief Software Architect, Didier Dambrin has realized
his vision of creating an open-architecture virtual
studio environment where the only constraint on the
users is their own imagination. This philosophy is
reflected in FL Studio 7?s flexible 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). Didier notes ?We don't try to protect our
data & come up with new formats only for marketing
reasons. We use existing standards as much as
possible, and allow FL Studio be used as a plugin in
other hosts?. In version 7, particular emphasis has
been given to improved workflow through enhanced
interface design, so that ideas can be crystallized
and creativity captured.
What is FL7?
FL Studio is a fully featured, open-architecture
music creation and production environment for PC. No
extra software is required* to produce any style of
music, as the complete set of instrument and studio
tools is included in the cost of the package. With
the included plugins, sounds and tools the user can
create complete songs, as well as backing tracks,
loops and sizzling beats. Completed songs can be
saved to WAV, MP3 or MIDI or .ZIP or native project
formats (.FLP).
Instruments
Make virtually any sound. FL7 includes 13 virtual
synthesizers covering acoustic/synthetic bass,
electric guitar and plucked string simulation,
sampler tools including piano, general sample
playback, and beat-slicing, and a range of synthesis
techniques (subtractive, modelling, FM, granular and
additive).
Audio Recording & Editing
Capture audio from a single vocalist right through to
a full symphony orchestra. FL7 can record up to 64
simultaneous tracks of audio#. The Playlist workspace
can contain an unlimited number of audio tracks and
allows you to arrange discrete audio events in any
order, and position the creative process dictates
with complete flexibility. Audio tools allow the
ability to time-stretch, pitch-shift, beat-slice,
chop, edit and creatively destruct audio. FL7 also
introduces Edison, a fully featured mastering wave
editor and recorder. FL Studio supports WAV, MP3 and
OGG formats.
Sequencing
Record musical performances and ideas in the most
logical way. FL7 functions as both a pattern and
track based sequencer depending on user preferences.
Tools include an unlimited track Step-sequencer, an
industry-leading Piano Roll and Automation Clips. FL
Studio supports MIDI and input from all standard
Controllers.
Arranging
Determine your own project design. In FL7, you
decide how your project will be laid out. Unlike the
competition, FL7's Playlist is a totally flexible and
virtually unbounded space where Note Pattern, Audio
and Automation data can be arranged, and edited to
suit your creative ideas and workflow.
Mixing/Mastering
The most powerful mixer in its class. FL7 includes an
industry-leading 64 stereo track mixer. 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 plugins span
Compression, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Filtering,
Phasing, Flanging, Chorus, Vocoding and Reverb. These
will take you from the creative broad-brush effects
like reverb, through to the minutia of the mastering
process with multiband compression/limiting and
parametric EQ.
Key new features and changes
FL now supports track-based sequencing. Pattern
Clips present sequence data in the method as Audio
and Automation Clips.

Love Philter is a bank of 8 ganged filter units for
total flexibility and creative filtering mayhem.
Parametric EQ2 introduces a mastering parametric EQ
with spectral analysis :
Event Automation can now be converted to Automation
clips.
Updated audio stretching engine for FL Studio & FL
plugins (where applicable).
Multi-core safe generators can now be threaded for
performance gain on multi-core CPUs.
Smoother audio 'record to disk' performance with
high track-counts.
