FLStudio 7 is out.

and it's not the beta =o

Registered users can expect a special offer in their mailbox soon.

I'm interested in what you FL guys think of the new pattern clips...I like FL, but the lack of true linear sequencing has always put me off.

And I'd love to hear what kind of phatness you can get from the new Love Philter.

FL7 is insane. I'm not blown away today because I've been using all of the betas and release builds, but if you're upgrading from 6, it's amazing. So many cool new features.

No joke. IL just keeps plugging away with FL, adding more and more.

I'm curious as to this special offer we're supposed to be getting...

So will I be seeing waveforms in the playlist instead of that useless bottom half where the audio clips are? If so, I will probably like it. This "Edison" thing sounds promising, too. Is there a bounce track feature yet?

Other way around. Patterns can now go (and be sliced/edited) in the bottom half, more like a traditional sequencer. Also there has always been a bounce function.

oh right, the FX track bounce thing

there's SO MUCH CRAP I DON'T EVER USE

then you should START USING IT!!!

Start by using audio and automation clips damn it!!

The one thing I don't like (and have yet to figure out how to change) is the fact that every time you start FL7, the 'scroll when marker is out of screen' option is always on, and the playlist screen is always set to close (when I prefer medium).

And the fact that every so often when I delete a VSTi from my sequencer, FL fucks up and crashes =(

Looks really cool, although truth be told I wish they'd just wait for a couple of years and re-design everything because the way I see it, all of these new features is like pumping up a Honda Civic. FLStudio started off as a decent sequencer (like a Honda Civic is a decent car), but then they just keep on slapping all of these new features and effects onto it, but in the end it has the same foundation. That said, I really don't want to see FLStudio try to become a traditional sequencer either, there are already too many choices on the market, but I would like to see it reinvent itself.

I don't think gol would ever do that. FL is pretty stable and has a good engine. The only chance of recoding it would be if it was ported to a different language entirely, but I have a feeling that won't happen (it's been in Delphi for so long).

Delphi? Someone still uses that in a commercially successful product? Crazy, I had no idea.

Is there a list anywhere that describes all the new features and changes? I downloaded FL 7 last night but didn't have time to install it, and am really curious.

Wow, they redesigned the website too. Impressive =o

After using it all day I will say that the Parametric EQ 2 kicks ass, reminds me a lot of GlissEQ, if only they could update their compressor the same way.

Image-Line's site is down.

After using the beta's for so long, it's not that huge of a shock, but, after jumping from 6 to 7 a minute ago, this is definately a very large update.

Edison in and of itself is a massive improvement. Add Pattern Clips, the Love Philter, and the new EQ, not to mention bugfixes, the brand new look and function of the FPC (even though I just bought Battery), Dual Core support (finally)...

Just damn. FL just got about 1000 times more usful. Now if they'd finally just implement notation (I know, fat chance).

i didn't see any special offer. but fl7 is absolutely great.

I think there's a small discount on some of the VST's till the end of feb. or something

pity, i was hoping for something cool, like a free computer or something like that.

Not sure if I should make a thread on this or not, but when I installed v.7, all of a sudden a lot of my samples I had downloaded disappeared. They still show up when I browse through the folders I put them in, but when I try to use them in the sampler, they don't show up.

Can someone tell me what the crap this is all about?

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it.
