TALK ABOUT THIS RELEASE
Please keep the discussion here to how the features work or bugs you find. Otherwise ...
- To see what's coming. Why not check the FL Studio 21 Teaser Thread
- To make feature requests use the FL Studio 21 Teaser Discussion Thread
- This is called an Alpha / Beta as its a mix of Alpha and Beta components/features. We do this to give you early access and provide feedback before everything is locked down.
- Do not use Alphas / Betas for mission critical projects. In particular: This installation of FL Studio is months away from release and will change radically before it is ready.
- By default this will install in parallel to your current FL Studio location/s.
- Betas will expire! A replacement Beta may not be ready when it does.
