Belgium (December 2, 2024)—Over the long holiday weekend, Image-Line dropped the latest update to its DAW with the release of FL Studio 2024.2 as a free update for all existing users, and they’ll find it features new tools and some user-requested workflow enhancements.
Some of the new features in the FL Studio 2024.2 update include the introduction of Transporter, a real-time looping plug-in that allows users to create dynamic, on-the-fly effects and loop sections of audio. Hand-in-hand with that, users can now hot swap loops from FL Cloud, allowing them to audition sounds in real-time within their mix.
On the visual side of things, DrumPad, Effector, PoiZone, and Sawer plug-ins now scale smoothly up to 8K resolution with crisp visuals. Additionally, plug-in scaling has been added to over 30 native plug-ins.
