Top new features in FL Studio 8

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Here’s some of my favorite new features in FL Studio 8, in no particular order.

  • recording filter (right-click record button). Choose to record Audio, Automation or Note data independently.
  • Never lose a keyboard performance. The new score logger records all MIDI activity from controller keyboards and the ‘typing-piano keyboard’ in a 3 minute buffer.
  • FL Studio can permanently learn and remember links to external controllers. The new ‘multilink’ function + ‘Override generic links’ option.
  • 24 bit int rendering (it could do 16 and 32 only previously)
  • Soundgoodizer: a stereo ‘maximizer-enhancer’ plugin based on the Maximus soundprocess engine.
  • audio to MIDI analysis – good for drum replacing
  • Mouse wheel can re-order effects. Hover over effect to be moved and roll!
  • New Plugin database directory, functions with Plugin picker. Thumbnails of all your plugins, just click and drag. See below.

FL Studio 8 is officially out! What’s new in FL8? Click here for a GIANT screenshot.

I’ve been using the Beta releases of FL 8 and had absolutely no problems with it, not a single crash. I wish Pro Tools was like that!

Speaking of Pro Tools: Digidesign Customer Support Videos – Some boring videos from the tech staff.

At Revolution Audio this Thursday Kate will be teaching a Cubase 101 class, only $29. As an added bonus, I’ll be there, I’m awesome as you know. :)

I’m building another 6 acoustic panels in the coming week, I’ll be sure to actually take pictures of the process this time! Stay tuned for a full article on that stuff.

In the comments from my last post Jerry gave a link to some SM-57 and SM-58 clones that are supposed to be even better than the original and only $30 each! You can get a pack of 10 for $199, absolutely ridiculous. You know I’m buying some of course. Speakerrepair.com
