The man behind FL8, Chief Software Architect Didier Dambrin, was dedicated to creating an open-architecture studio environment where the only constraint is your own imagination. This philosophy is reflected in adjustable 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). In version 8, particular emphasis was given to improved music production workflow through enhanced interface design, so that ideas can be crystallized and captured. Designed for the PC and Intel Mac running Boot Camp (see system requirements below), FL8 requires no extra software to produce any style of music. Everything you need is included; plug-ins, MIDI, audio, and output support; several generators/soft synths; all the music creation, automation, mixer, FX rack, updates, and online features; more than 1900 presets using 600 WAV files; and a generic sample CD. With the included plug-ins, sounds, and tools, you can create complete songs, backing tracks, loops, and sizzling beats. Finished songs can be saved in WAV, MP3, MIDI, ZIP, or native project formats (FLP).
