    What a DAW!!!! I think this brilliant so far and i've only just got it!! Even without the brilliant native plugins, flexible mixer and such, it just sooo easy! I've tried Cubase and others on friends computers and its just not the same.

    FLStudio is the most flexible and awesome program ever. You can't knock it till you try it. I've used it for 3 albums and remixes of Grammy award winning artists and no one ever says "this sounds like it was made on a toy".

Pros

FL SynthMaker. Score Logger. Slicex. Control surface support is improved.

Cons

Manual Plug-in Delay Compensation and freezing. PC-only, and likely to stay that way. Exporting multiple tracks is awkward.

Verdict

A great all-round update. FL SynthMaker in particular takes things to a new level.
