(Uh, easily, cough, Logic Environment.) This is a minor update, but there’s now a grid to keep things neat and tidy and the thing with the rectangles bottom right is a heads-up overview of the overall patch. Patcher was already a clever tool for routing sophisticated custom patch chains easily.
More Context Aware Value support across plugins and Automation Clips. Multi-select, cloning in Playlist Tracks. Improved Event to Automation Clip conversion. 64-bit sample lengths for handling larger recordings and audio. Clip Editor automation is improved with multi-point editing, target highlighting, and link management. Better audio recording with new input modes, monitoring, Playlist track controls. Improved Patcher Tool with a mini-map for navigation and grid – love that one, actually, it allows you to make custom-routed chains of instruments and effects. SoundFont Player is back, now 64-bit, and on macOS even Apple Silicon native. Stretch Pro for Sampler Channel and Audio Clips Instrument with real-time formant controls. Vintage Chorus a la Roland’s Juno-6, which it seems we can’t get away from these days. Pitch Shifter with real-time pitch manipulation. Okay, all pitch shifters should have this kind of interface. (Previously, you’d need to force FL Studio to run in Rosetta 2 as an Intel app.) I’m still hopeful more plug-ins add support, and AU don’t require the tweaks, but this is useful for VST-only plug-ins like VCV Rack Studio, at least until they’re updated.Īs usual, FL has a lot of new goodies, though. Intel VST and AU plug-ins now work in the Apple Silicon native host via a process bridge. I can run isotope effects on 30 tracks (that plug-in itself takes a lot of cpu power) and it’s barely using 10-20% of the cpu.For all the nice new stuff, Mac users I expect will be happiest about the M1 compatibility tweaks.
Arcade output, & LABS have shown me that. I just feel like macs use the cpu more efficiently. It had comparable specs: i7 12th gen processor, 16GB ram, & 1TB SSD. The reason I switched is I felt that my HP laptop was overloaded and sluggish. I’m wondering if y’all think it’s best to stick with Mac now that I have one or if windows is just better overall. I’m like $2000 deep in VSTs but I don’t have omnisphere or nexus 4. I think a lot of people like the windows version since people can crack plug-ins easily and mac versions are almost impossible to crack. it feels the same on Mac, but I’ve noticed a lot of 3rd party plugins are only compatible with Rosetta 2 instead of the new ARM native option for M1 processors.
I’m very familiar with how it works native on Windows (I mean, it was originally made to run on windows). I own a Mac mini with the M1 processor, 16Gb ram, 1TB SSD.
