Other FLStudio Resources: by If you're here, chances are you've heard of other similar reddits, but in case you haven't, check these out. post unfinished tracks here for others to finish If you know of any more, send a mod mail! Yes I am being blunt here. Because let's be honest, a good number of you definitely did not shell out the couple hundred on the program yourselves. Let's all just try to be mature for a moment here. I have used FL Studio for several years now and am seriously considering purchasing a proper copy of it. However just because I am willing to pay the 200 bucks to get the Producer edition does not mean I want to lose access to the Image-Line plugins that I like and currently use that are not bundled with any edition of FLS.
I would have to throw in nearly 300 bucks more to get the things I use regularly, and that's with the 'Value Plugin Bundle' discount. I am not someone who spends any amount of money frivolously. So to be frank, while the core software has an exceptional price performace ratio with the free updates for life on top of being cheaper than most other DAWs, the rest of Image-Line's plugins bar Harmor are pretty damn overpriced for what they do. Nearly 40 bucks for a borderline defunct Soundfont player? Rofl, Gol please. Add in conversion from Canadian currency and I'm really getting reamed here.
If wanted to spend an extra 300 bucks I would prefer to go for some sample packs. Specifically, ones that are difficult to find a torrent of. So basically what I am saying here is, if I am going to lose access to the cracked versions of all the stuff I have that is already installed on my computer when I get the legit version of FLS, I will have to reconsider if I am to buy anything at all. If there is no work around then I will be perfectly content to continue having full access to everything for free. I might still buy FL Studio and wanted plugins sometime in the future but I would definitely hold off on purchasing anything until I have the disposable funds necessary and the desire to actually use said funds on buying something I can already use for free.
So it might be in 2 years, might be 20 years, might be 200 years (cybernetic implants willing), but it won't be today. But if I could use cracked Image-Line plugins in a legit version of FL Studio then I am very likely to buy into it, and would probably buy the plugins I used later in the future should they go on sale or I have the desire and means to go fully legit for all the music software I use. So to rephrase the title question: (TL;DR) Is it possible to use cracked IL plugins in the legit version, and are there any special steps required to do so? And will I have to uninstall the current version of FL Studio before I register the legit copy? As far as I understand, IL product registration works on a single.reg key globally, so I am unsure what would happen when mixing a legit key with the cracked key that unlocks everything, hence why I am being cautious.
So if any of you have been in the same situation that I am in, please comment on how that all works. Also if any of you are in the Affiliate Program please post your link either via comment or PM.
Arigato Redittosama Edit: Thanks for the advice everyone. Long story short for anyone else in the same situation as me is that you can install cracked IL VST versions on a legit copy. The only lost functionality seems to be in Right Clicking (Eg for setting up automation faster) and also the Slide function in the piano roll. It's a bit unfortunate for me since I really love using slide a lot, but there is a workaround; you have to load the patch in the demo version and then render out the sound that has the sliding. And as SupertomSeven commented make sure you go through your projects and replace the native Fruity Generator versions with the VST versions so you don't lose all your presets. At one point in my past, someone I know did exactly what you're describing. Cracked versions of the IL plugins are out there, and it's relatively easy to install them (generally the instructions are in the readme, if it's a torrent).
Or so I'm told. Obligatorily: As a software engineer, I can tell you we do eat food, and that comes from money.
I see that you're planning on paying full price once you start making money from music, which is awesome. But if you've had fun with the program and learning music ways, buying what you can afford is super great. I did the exact same thing, bought the software before I had saved for all the plugins.
It does work, but requires some effort. If it's worth it is up to you. Here's what to do: You must install all your plugins as stand alone VSTs. Then you open your project and the plugins will default to DEMO mode. You must SAVE every single plugin setting as a preset.
Then delete the plugin and replace it with the stand alone VST version. Next, load up the preset you just saved.
Once you do that for every plugin instance on every song, you should be good to go. Yes, it's annoying, but if it's the route you wanna go then that's what you'll have to do.
I do suggest eventually going for the native plugins, they just give that extra boost to workflow and you'll be supporting the awesome FL guys! I'm unsure why you are focused on cracked native plugins as opposed to cracked vst versions of the same, but there we are. Are you saying that one can install the cracked IL VST versions and that would work with a legit regkey that didn't have said VST? If that does work then maybe it is a solution, though I imagine that things like the slide function (Which I use very frequently) wouldn't work as they are only for FL native plugs. So there is still lost functionality there.
I will have to think about it. I've found legit FL to be more stable over a long enough time frame. Don't underestimate the support from IL either. Things I couldn't get sorted on third party boards tend to get quickly resolved on IL's forum. Plus as an FLMobile user the official version works, whereas the torrented version often does not. Primarily though, stability and functionality in the software comes from development by the small team behind FL, for which they need money.
When the new versions come out, I know they are as good as they are due in part to my investment, and I know people are benefitting from me spending money when they have not. FL is not a finished product to be pirated after it is complete, like an album or a film. It's an evolving thing which can only be as good as what everyone from me, to you, to gol, put in.
I lost functionality when I went legit several years ago, as does anyone who doesn't buy everything. But the simple fact is that if I'm using this as my main DAW I want it to be as good as it can possibly be, for as long as possible, and that more than offsets any small problems I may have working round what I've 'lost' by wanting to own what I use. Besides, there's a fine line between piracy for one's own use and piracy to make an actual cash profit. I wanted to start selling music, and I would not sell music that I did not have copyright over, which is true of anything you make on a pirated FL. Piracy of FL has instant gratification and for the kid who simply does not have the money, I understand it fully.
We all have master plans for how we'll grow our studios, what we're wanting to buy next, etc. But without the DAW software there is no studio, these days. And given the lifetime free updates which means your investment pays back increasingly over time, to have the money for Producer or Signature in your bank and say 'no, that's not the best use of my money' is not something I could call myself a fair person for doing. And my VAT woes are between me and my government. Yeah I got it, I meant buy FL but don't install or use the legit key; keep your setup until you feel like switching.
The key won't expire, lifetime updates, you know the drill. You could freeze not included synths to.wav and bite the bullet until you buy them back.
Again, you worded clearly your plan, I'm just trying to give an extra push for you to get a FL license because I think it's worth it. I use it since 3.36, bought a couple versions later, after all this time that little piece of software feels like family! Also Christmas is coming! Maybe someone wanna chip in a plugin or two and help you get everything you need?;D.
