What’s new in FL Studio 20?

• The big news is that FL Studio 20 brings with it a native 64-bit Mac version of the software. You can swap files between the Mac and PC versions and one license will unlock both. So excited are we that this is the case that we’re testing the software on a Mac. It installed with ease and so far has been a dream to use – no crashes, hangs or anything; it seems to be as slick and solid as the PC version and loaded our existing Mac plug-ins without any issues.
• Among the other new features, FL Studio 20 now supports multiple time signatures so you can set different ones within arrangements (on what FL calls the Playlist), or sequences within the FL Channel Rack that is used to produce Clips that make up the song.
• There are now three ways to consolidate audio, that is render MIDI tracks to audio to save CPU. You can do this per track; choose a selection of clips within a song, or render and then replace Patterns within a track. FL Studio 20 has some great ways to manage Arrangements, that is the song in a Playlist, so you can easily create multiple versions for remixing, for example.
• The Playlist area also has more features including hiding groups of tracks to help keep it all a bit tidier. This is especially useful as that track count has been increased from 199 to a whopping 500. (Those of you with unlimited tracks might see this as tight, but it really isn’t because FL Studio does ’tracks’ differently, as we’ll see.
