Image Line Software has announced the release of its complete music production environment,
FL Studio 7, representing the culmination of more than 9 years of sustained development.

Chief Software Architect Didier Dambrin has realized his vision of creating an
open-architecture virtual studio environment where the only constraint on the users is their
own imagination. This philosophy is reflected in FL Studio 7's flexible audio and control
data routing, free-form Playlist design and interoperability with industry standards
(VST/VSTi/VST2, DXi, DXi2, Buzz, ReWire, MIDI, MP3, WAV, OGG). Didier notes, "We don't try
to protect our data & come up with new formats only for marketing reasons. We use existing
standards as much as possible, and allow FL Studio be used as a plug-in in other hosts."
