3. Image-Line FL Studio 21.2

Image Line also brought some impressive advances to FL Studio, with its 21.2 update adding smart stem separation to the mix. Harnessing the now-omnipresent power of AI, this malleable stem separation tool allows for any audio source to be split into its component parts.

This fully integrated new feature certainly turned the heads of DJs, sound designers and anyone looking to pull apart those dusty old mp3s. That wasn’t the full story, as Image-Line also initiated its new FL Cloud sample and distribution ecosystem within this update, not to mention throwing in the vivid Juno-emulating synth, Kepler.
