Welcome to FL Studio 21.1 Beta No. 1. Please read everything below carefully!
WHERE TO DISCUSS THIS RELEASE?
- BUG REPORTS: Use the FL Studio Beta Forum. Make a NEW post and put 21.1 Beta in the title.
- WHAT'S COMING?: See the FL Studio 21.1 Teaser Thread
- This release is a mix of Alpha and Beta features. We do this to give you early access and provide feedback before development is locked down! If you have a suggestion how something could work better. Now is the time to make it.
- Expect to be chastised if you complain this release is unstable or buggy! If bugs annoy you, please stop here and use 21.0.3.
- Do not use Alphas / Betas for mission critical projects. This release is far from final and will change significantly 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.
