Image-Line has released FL Studio 9, a complete software music production environment, representing the culmination of more than 10 years of sustained & focused development.
FL Studio is a full-featured, open architecture, music production environment capable of audio recording, composing, sequencing and mixing, for the creation of professional quality music. The FL Studio philosophy is creative freedom:
Free your audio – Instruments can be routed to any mixer track. Each mixer track can receive audio from any number of instruments, any number of other mixer tracks and a soundcard input. Further, mixer track outputs allow sending audio to any other mixer track and a soundcard output.
Free your mind – Choose your preferred workflow, compose using the step-sequencer or piano roll. Create in pattern or track mode, then arrange your ideas in the free ‘palette’ Playlist. The Playlist presents timeline as a virtual ‘canvas’ where each Playlist track can simultaneously hold any number of score, audio and automation events. Now that’s freedom.
Key new features in FL Studio 9

•Mixer insert tracks 99 (increased from 64) and ‘Track Send’ switches now have a ‘Sidechaining‘ function for multi-input plugins. Multithreaded FX processing CPU option.

Sick update!
That full multi-core support is going to help so much considering I just bought a QuadCore.
