Overview

Open-architecture studio environment lets you create instruments and music in any genre.

The Fruity Edition of FL Studio 8 is a "lite" version of this popular DAW series, yet it includes several plug-ins, MIDI, and output support; it reads WAV, MP3, SYN, DS, Speech files; pattern-based event automation; multiple generators/soft synths; most of the music creation, mixer, FX rack, updates, and online features; more than 1900 presets using 600 WAV files; and a generic sample CD.

This flexible DAW was designed for the PC and Intel Mac running Boot Camp (see system requirements below), and requires no extra software to produce any style of music. With the included plug-ins, sounds, and tools, (as well as the other optional ones available), the user can create complete songs, as well as backing tracks, loops, and sizzling beats. Completed songs can be saved to WAV, MP3, MIDI, ZIP, or native project formats (FLP). However, it does not support audio tracks.
