But, things have changed, so let’s call this progress. We never thought that was a good idea, and it’s why we never did it before.

But, before this came along, we needed to port well over 1 million lines of code to another language.

So while this is great, it’s a 1st-generation OS X compiler, it’s cranky and sometimes causes problems of its own. This is one reason why FL Studio and its graphics are so fluid.?Delphi only recently got the ability to compile to OS X.

Below are some of the issues we face porting FL Studio to native Mac OS X and explains why this is taking ‘so long’:ĭelphi – FL Studio is written in Delphi with in-line assembly for much of the DSP (yes hard-core assembly, not for babies).

It’s a long and slow process and we can’t make any promises yet, since we may come across unexpected and or unsolvable technical problems. Well, the plugin testing is progressing nicely, and so the team has turned their attention to FL Studio 12 itself.

These VST plugins use the exact same code-base as FL Studio itself, and if we could get these working to spec on OS X, then FL Studio would likely follow soon after. The OS X VST plugin testing, was in fact, the stealthy beginnings of FL Studio native OS X compatibility development. The interest in the wrapped beta, and the problems we faced supporting 3rd party VST plugins in it, lead the team to start work on porting our Windows-only VST plugins – Edison, Gross Beat, Harmless, Harmor, Maximus, Ogun, Slicex, Sytrus, Vocodex to OS X native VST format. This was promising but it was still just a Windows program, wrapped by Crossover, running on OS X. Will there ever be a native Mac OS X release of FL Studio?Ī while back we started by testing a FL Studio Mac OS X BETA (Crossover Wrapped) version, with direct installation on Mac OS X. Recently, the FAQ section has been changed to address developments into FL12 and the Mac software: Now, they are in the works of creating the entire DAW. Instead, Image-line focused on creating VST’s for their popular plugins. Because of the lack of support given during the CrossOver Beta released last year, the current solution for Mac users is insufficient.

But even then, I'm sure most people would agree that it would be better to have an "outdated" insert name on the automation clip than none at all! I'm sure this has been noticed and asked by now, but I couldn't find anything in my forum search so I created this thread.Image-line, the developers of the widely known FL Studios, has confirmed that the software will be released as a native DAW for Mac OS X. I theorized that maybe this was a deliberate decision because renaming a mixer insert didn't rename the automation clips automatically. In FL 11, it would usually say something like "Parametric EQ 2 (Insert 3) - Mix level envelope", but now it's essentially impossible to determine which clip is which. we love it for the most part besides this one glaring issue:Īs you can tell, none of the automation clips have any indication of which instance of Parametric EQ 2 they're routed to. So myself and a friend of mine are sharing our frustration in how automation clips are named in FL 12. This thread is OLD, the latest beta discussion can be found here:
