FL STUDIO 20.8.4 on APPLE M1- PLEASE READ THIS!

Since we released FL Studio 20.8.4 (2048) with some exciting features and
a native Installer for Apple Silicon (ARM -M1) and Rosetta 2 (Intel based Macs),
here are some things you should know:

1. We have created a Knowledge Base article explaining the differences in those two Modes and how you
should proceed if your projects and 3rd party plugins don't work after updating/installing FL Studio 20.8.4.
Please read this article:

FL Studio Apple Silicon Computer Compatibility / ARM Support / M1 Chip

2. Here are some additional things you should be aware of:

Akai Fire
  • Works only in Rosetta 2 mode at the moment
    There might be some other USB/Midi Controller not working in Apple Silicon mode,
    if so switch to Rosetta 2 mode (as described in the linked article).
Audio Interface - Microphone input not available in FL Studio
  • Please make sure FL Studio has the permission to access the Microphone.
    Open Systemsettings> Security&Privacy> Privacy> Microphone> and set a mark at FL Studio
    If FL Studio is not listed, switch to Rosetta 2 mode (shown above) and start FL Studio, macOS will ask you for Microphone permission on startup.
    Then switch back to Apple Silicon mode if that is what you are using..
