FL Studio Mobile -it's in the app store

[Locus M]

Really, the whole process is so tied to a PC, it defeats the true mobile experience for me. Great app, but I'll stick with fully mobile apps......

Know what you mean. It seems that apple knows it too because iOS5 is said to make the iDevices more independent of computers since you now can upgrade your iOS directly form your iDevice:

With the new PC Free feature, iOS 5 users can activate and set up their iOS device right out of the box with no computer required, and iOS software updates are delivered over the air and installed with just a tap. Wi-Fi Sync in iOS 5 transfers and backs up your content securely over SSL and wirelessly syncs purchased content from your device to your iTunes® library.

Hope the rest of the business will adopt the new concept and make copy and paste, multitasking, upload ect. standard features of music apps.

But with audio copy Image Line have made Mobile Studio useful as an "internal" instrument, for instance to make some basics (drum and bass) and then transfer it to BMII or Nanostudio. I am sure we'll get more in time, like pasteboard transfer to pads and instruments and then FL Mobile will be just as cool as any of the other grooveboxes out there, if not the DAWs. I have personally no expectations that FL mobile should be able to compete with BMII or NanoStudio as a DAW, so for what it is, it is great IMO. It sounds awfully good.

Overpriced, Yes! Therefore I expect a lot of fast and free updates as compensation....but I trust that IM can deal with that.

All the Best

Our first priority is to make FL Studio Mobile a useful companion to the FL Studio for Windows version and vice versa.

We are in the process of adding back and forth functionality. It will be a long time before mobile devices can approach the processing power of desktop systems, so we will be focusing on allowing people to take their mobile projects to the next level.

FL Studio mobile, in the process, will continue to be improved and upgraded. Things such as upping the FX track count, more functionality inc a sampler/recorder for example.

We make no apology that FL Studio mobile interacts with FL Studio for Windows. It's one of the few Apps with interoperability.

@Locus M - Agree 100%, and will use FL Mobile as one of the tools to make a loop, and paste into BM2.

@Image-Line - Agree that you have no need for an apology for the FL Mobile model. It is just not a model that I am looking for, but many are. Different strokes, and all that

I will disagree on one thing though. I bought FL Studio back on version 3. At time I had a single core 1000 mhz PC, with 512 megs of ram. My iPad 2 has a Dual core 1000 mhz processer, with 512 megs of ram. So I would say it will not be such a long time before mobile devices approach the power of a PC. Other than number of tracks, there is really not much that I can do now on my dual core PC now, that I could not do on that old single core.....

Anyway, I still like FL Mobile, glad I bought it and will enjoy watching it develop.

And of course you shouldn't. Just keep playing on two horses and each can have his own: 1) One as a extension to FL and 2) as a self-contained groovebox/mini DAW that can take advantage of copy-and-paste and maybe...multifunctionality in time?

If you keep going like that, we'll all be Supergreen

8 years IS a 'long time' in this business

It will be about 5 years before a mobile device has sufficient grunt to perform the things we would like to do.
