We’re excited to announce many new features, instruments, and workflows arriving in FL Studio 2024. Here’s an overview:

• FL Cloud now includes plugins, starting with 10 in the Free plan, 65+ in Pro
• A new vintage synth, called Kepler Exo
• Low Lifter, a bass enhancer, and Spreader, a stereo widener tool
• Get endless inspiration with the new Chord Progression Tool
• Piano Roll and Channel Rack enhancements include stutter edits with Note Repeat
• Edison is now more powerful than ever – it can now be used to separate vocals and noise from a track and has a significantly improved Declipper

Also, we’re moving to year-based version numbers

From now on, FL Studio’s version names will match the year they’re released. Our Lifetime Free Updates policy means you can always grab the latest version, so this will make it a lot easier to know if you’re up-to-date. If it’s 2026 and you’re still using FL Studio 2024, it’s time to update!

Introducing plugins in FL Cloud

We’ve expanded FL Cloud to include VST plugins! FL Cloud is now a one-stop solution for top-notch instruments and effects from our partners, all seamlessly integrated into FL Studio. There are now three tiers, and everyone gets some of these instruments and effects.

We’re launching with over 65 plugins made by Native Instruments, UVI, Baby Audio, Minimal Audio, MeldaProduction, W. A. Production, and UnitedPlugins.

Starting with 10 in the Free plan, 65+ in Pro

We wanted all our users to get some of the great plugins we’ve selected for FL Cloud. That’s why even the free, time-unlimited plan includes 10 plugins. Just download FL Studio 2024, open the ‘Sounds’ tab, and create a free account to access them.

Of course, these are all in addition to the huge variety of plugins that already come with FL Studio Editions. We chose partners to perfectly complement FL Studio’s onboard plugins and inspire your productions. And the collection keeps growing.

The FL Cloud Plugins app

Installing, authorizing, updating, and using third-party plugins has never been easier. You can install, authorize, and update most FL Cloud partner plugins in seconds with one simple app. And almost all of them are available for quick and easy loading from FL Studio’s Plugin Picker.

Project Rescue

But what if you cancel FL Cloud? No problem. Nobody should be locked into a subscription to open old projects. If you cancel your subscription, you can activate a 24-hour emergency period called ‘Project Rescue’ for free, allowing you to reopen all your old FL Cloud plugins. You can do this up to five times.

Introducing Kepler Exo

While Kepler was clearly inspired by two classics, JUNO-6 and Jupiter-8™, Kepler Exo is a step into the future. It introduces a second DCO (oscillator) with hard sync, oscillator FM, dedicated filter FM, an additional LFO, a 16-slot modulation matrix, and five more onboard effects (alongside that vintage chorus you know and love from Kepler!).

In short, Kepler Exo is a powerhouse of authentic, retro sound, perfect for all your synthwave, cyberpunk, and retrowave needs. Kepler Exo is included with the All Plugins Edition.

Chord Progression Tool

Chord progressions are the emotional foundation of any great track, and we know how tough it can be to create a good one. That’s why we developed this advanced, easy-to-use feature. Whether you’re an expert pianist or have no musical training at all, it now takes just seconds to create the perfect mood to get your track off the ground.

You can easily access the Chord Progression Tool from the ‘Tools’ menu on every Piano Roll window.

Mastering gains more options

Mastering has had a major upgrade too. You now get a range of customization options to tailor your masters. Easy-to-use controls let you adjust things like bass and high frequencies, warmth, and brightness. You can also engage low- and high-end exciters, a stereo widener, and even a multiband dynamics processor. 

And you can tweak with confidence – our custom AI technology ensures your tracks always sound release-ready, no matter which settings you choose. 

Mastering now also supports FL Studio’s wide array of output formats, including 24- and 32-bit lossless WAV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, and M4A.  

To solve this, Low Lifter analyzes the low end and dynamically adds higher harmonic frequencies that can be heard on any speakers. Not only does this unmask those low frequencies for any listener on any device, it enhances the ‘experience’ of the subs for everybody too, even on pro systems and subwoofers.

Any stereo effect on bass frequencies can cause the bass to ‘cancel’ itself out – potentially removing the bass and subs from your music entirely. This mostly happens when stereo audio is combined to make a mono signal (in many phones, tablets, and public sound systems, for example). Our spreader lets you exclude bass frequencies from the spreading, ensuring no cancellation occurs, so your bass remains centered and powerful.

A new ‘Welcome’ screen

Opening FL Studio now presents you with a welcome screen to jump straight in where you left off or try something new. This has your recently opened projects on the left and template projects on the right. For example, the “Song Starter” template opens a project with the new Chord Progression Tool ready to go.

The Welcome window can be deactivated in two ways: under ‘General Settings’ > ‘Manage warning messages’ or with the ‘Don’t show again’ box on the window.
