The new FL Studio 9 has some exciting features and plug-ins that make it even more appetising! So let's get your 5 a day and see some of the best additions to this version...
1. Side-chainingYou can now link your compressors to other tracks with side-chaining to get that modern pulsing effect on your synths and samples; Sweet!
Tired of the difficult task of coming up with catchy riffs? Let FL Studio 9's "Riff Machine" do it for you! Just input the basic idea of the riff you want, giving limits for velocity, length et cetera and generate random riffs until you happen upon one you like! Making music when you're uninspired just got easier...
Here's a seriously useful and cool plug-in. Scratching can be difficult to emulate with computers, but this Gross Beat VST can modulate pitch and time in order to give you complete control over your sounds! The envelope-based operation makes it really easy to use and the presets mean you can jump straight into adding scratches, interesting beat manipulations or even real time adjustment of the sound!
Boasting literally over 4 billion presets (Man, I'd hate to be the sound designer for that plug-in!), The Autogun synth plug-in promises to never leave you high and dry when in need of a synth sound - just keep scrolling until you find that elusive noise!
With control over the number of bands, the pitch and pretty much any other parameter you can think of for a vocoder, Vocodex is a brilliant plug-in both in terms of functionality and ease-of-use.
