New version of FL Studio unveils AI-powered guide for improving music creation and maximizing the use of Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) tool
Image-Line, the renowned digital audio workstation (DAW) developer, has announced the release of FL Studio 2025, a significant update that brings numerous enhancements and new features to the platform.
Introducing Gopher, Your AI Production Assistant
One of the most exciting additions to FL Studio 2025 is Gopher, an AI-powered production assistant integrated directly into the DAW. Trained on the official FL Studio knowledge base, Gopher serves as a chat-bot capable of answering questions about using the DAW and music production techniques, such as sidechain compression or chord progressions. This tool supports multiple languages and aims to help producers of all levels solve problems and learn faster.
Loop Starter: Jumpstart Your Creative Process
Another new feature, Loop Starter, provides instant, genre-based loops designed to help users quickly generate song ideas and jumpstart the creative process. It integrates seamlessly within the Channel Rack, making it easier to start new projects for various music styles.
Expanded Capabilities and Improved Workflow
FL Studio 2025 offers a range of other key features designed to enhance workflow and creativity:
- Dynamic Mixer Tracks: The mixer track limit has expanded dramatically from 125 to up to 500 dynamic mixer tracks, allowing more complex projects with less CPU load and greater flexibility for orchestral or detailed productions.
- Per-Clip Audio Editing: Audio clips in the Playlist can now be stretched, pitch-shifted, and reversed directly in the Clip Properties panel without needing to open Edison. This non-destructive workflow speeds up sample manipulation and vocal editing.
- Emphasis Plugin: A new multi-stage compression mastering plugin included exclusively in the All Plugins Edition for achieving loud yet transparent mixes.
- Mobile Rack: Incorporates 36 low-CPU instruments and effects from FL Studio Mobile into the desktop version, usable stacked or solo.
- VFX Script Plugin: Enables turning Patcher setups into complex audio-processing applications.
- FL Studio Remote Support: Enhanced remote control capabilities replacing IL Remote, improving workflow integration.
- FLEX Enhancements: Comes with a free 150 preset pack focused on Melodic Techno, expanding creative sound options.
- Bassline Generator: A new mode in the Chord Progression Tool that creates instant basslines to complement chord progressions.
- Vectorial UI Updates: Updated scalable vector user interfaces for several instruments like BassDrum, Sakura, and Drumaxx, improving look and usability.
Additionally, FL Studio 2025 boasts various quality of life improvements, including undo for deleting mixer and playlist tracks, better export handling, real-time preview in mastering window, and display refresh rates over 120 Hz support.
Availability and Trial
FL Studio 2025 is available as a free update to existing license holders under the Lifetime Free Updates policy and also as a free trial for new users. Loop Starter includes nine different styles, such as amapiano, drill, trap, and EDM, and allows users to instantly re-generate ideas on a per-track basis.
