FL Studio 8 XXL Bundle DAW Software

FL Studio 8 XXL Bundle DAW Software is an extremely flexible virtual music studio. This bundle is the most complete version of the FL Studio 8 line, and includes the most plug-in, MIDI, audio, and output support; the most included generators/softsynths; all the music creation, automation, mixer, FX rack, updates, and online feature options; more than 1900 presets using 600 WAV files; a generic sample CD; and a sample DVD with 14,000 (2.5GB) of HQ samples.

Designed for the PC and Intel Macs running Boot Camp (see system requirements below), FL8 requires no extra software to produce any style of music, as the complete set of instrument and studio tools is included in the cost of the package. With the included plug-ins, sounds, and tools, you 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).

FL8 is an open-architecture studio environment where the only constraint is your own imagination. This is reflected in adjustable audio and control data routing, freeform playlist design, and interoperability with industry standards (VST/VSTi/VST2, DXi, DXi2, Buzz, ReWire, MIDI, MP3, WAV, OGG). In FL8, particular emphasis was given to improved music production workflow through enhanced interface design, so that ideas can be crystallized and creativity captured.

Audio Recording & Editing

FL8 can record up to 64 simultaneous tracks of audio, to record anything from a single vocalist right through to a full symphony orchestra. The Playlist workspace can contain an unlimited number of audio tracks. It also gives you the flexibility to arrange discrete audio events in any order, and position the creative process the way you want to. Audio tools let you time-stretch, pitch-shift, beat-slice, chop, edit, and creatively deconstruct audio. The Image Line team has further enhanced its Edison Wave Editor, a totally integrated audio editing and recording tool with spectral analysis, convolution reverb, loop recording, and more. Format-wise, FL8 Studio supports WAV, MP3, and OGG.

Sequencing

FL8 functions as both a pattern- and track-based sequencer depending on your preferences, so you can record musical performances and ideas in a more logical way. Tools include an unlimited track step-sequencer, an advanced piano roll, and automation clips. FL8 Studio supports MIDI and input from all standard controllers.

Arranging

FL8's Playlist lets you decide how your project will be laid out as it is completely malleable with virtually unlimited space where Note Pattern, Audio, and Automation data can be arranged and edited to suit your creative ideas and workflow.

Mixing/Mastering

FL8 includes a 64 stereo track mixer in which each track can include up to 8 effects and can also be routed to any of the other 64 tracks or one of 4 dedicated "send" channels. The 44 effects plug-ins available for FL8 (see features area for those include in this version) include Maximizer, Limiter, Compression, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Filtering, Phasing, Flanging, Chorus, Vocoding, and Reverb. These will take you from the creative broad-brush effects like reverb to subtler parts of the mastering process with multi-band compression/limiting and parametric EQ.
