Continuing the promise of Lifetime Free Updates, FL Studio 2025, which is free for existing owners, includes a new tool for generating instant musical ideas directly in the Channel Rack.

Image-Line announced the release of FL Studio 2025, the latest update to the world’s most-downloaded digital audio workstation (DAW), focused on helping producers find inspiration faster and jumpstart their creative process. The update introduces Loop Starter, a new tool for generating instant musical ideas directly in the Channel Rack; Gopher, an AI assistant for quick in-DAW guidance; and Dynamic Mixer Tracks, a long-requested feature from the FL Studio community.

Loop Starter helps producers quickly generate and tweak ideas directly from the Channel Rack. At launch, users can choose from a growing range of genres and instantly create a stack of loops – in-genre and in-sync. Alongside the loops, it also generates full, editable step sequencer tracks loaded with one-shots based on the selected genre. Individual sounds or the entire stack can be instantly re-generated, allowing users to quickly build up a sound they like. Ideas can then be sent to the Playlist with a single click, making it easy to expand them into full tracks.

Powered by intelligent sound-matching technology, Loop Starter sources audio directly from FL Cloud’s library of over a million sounds, and, according to Image-Line, “is completely free and unrestricted – no subscription required.”

Other new additions include Dynamic Mixer Tracks, a highly-requested feature allowing producers to add or remove Mixer Tracks to fit the size of the project, with support for up to 500 tracks. Audio Clips have now been enhanced with per-clip stretch, pitch, and reverse controls for faster audio editing. Production-expert Gopher is an AI-powered chat-bot, expertly-trained on all things FL Studio and music production, including the FL Studio reference manual. Gopher provides instant answers to any music production question in the user’s native language, without ever having to leave the DAW.

Constantin Koehncke, CEO of Image-Line, says: “FL Studio has always been about getting ideas down quickly. With Loop Starter and Gopher, we’re now introducing two new features designed to support the creative process – whatever your level. This is where we believe AI can truly support creativity: offering new ways to get creative without taking away any of the controls.”

At the same time, the developers included “a number of highly requested workflow improvements like expanded mixer tracks – giving producers even more flexibility and power.”
