FL Studio 20 €289

Celebrating its 20th birthday with a massive leap in version numbering and a long-awaited native Mac version, the “most popular music production software in the world” is enjoying a resurgence in acclaim at the moment. FL Studio 20 has some neat new features: the interface can now be customised; track freeze takes the strain of the host CPU; alternative takes and multiple time signatures open new avenues; and plugin delay compensation has really improved. And, as ever, buying fully into FL Studio is a one-off transaction, thanks to its ‘free upgrades for life’ policy. Sign us up! 257 » 8/10
