FL Studio Apple Silicon ARM Processors - M1 & M2 Support
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VST PLUGINS UNDER APPLE SILICON
To use the Apple Silicon native FL Studio version Intel VST plugins will not work unless they are Bridged. FL Studio 20.9 introduced a process bridge for Intel VSTs.
See here for full details.
If you are using or considering making the switch to Apple Silicon devices, it is important to have your expectations in check. Initial software compatibility, stability and performance, across the board, will likely be patchy.

We know it's frustrating when things don't work as expected. However, please help us to help you by following these suggestions:
- Update - Before trying anything else. Download and install the latest version of FL Studio from here. Your bug may be fixed already!
- Update plugins - If you are using 3rd party plugins. Look at crash logs for their names. Install the latest version for any you spot. See also Plugins Behaving Badly
- Simple clear explanation - Explain what you are doing, or trying to do, and exactly what is happening.
- Update macOS - Are you using AT LEAST the last version of macOS High Sierra (10.13.6). Expect some issues if you updated to a brand new Major macOS release.
- Specific information - a) FL Studio version & build number, b) what you are doing and what happens exactly, c) step-by-step instructions how reproduce the problem.
- Screenshots - Another great way to demonstrate issues. See how here. Include images using the 'Attachments' tab, at the bottom of the post edit window.
- A video - The best way of demonstrating many issues - Use QuickTime as shown here. Include videos to your post from the 'Attachments' tab, at the bottom of the post edit window.
