FL Studio 2025 relates to the release year. We changed to a year based versioning system in 2024.

These builds will expire about 6 months after they're available.

Don't make anything important with them as there are bound to be critical bugs from time to time.

On Windows, install this separately from the regular (stable) FL Studio version.

On macOS, this will install as "FL Studio BETA.app".

More features incoming...

Emphasis will run in Trial mode until we add it to All Plugin Edition holder accounts.

FL Studio Mobile Rack does not scale with the FL Studio settings.

FL Studio Mobile may freeze when opened during the tests.
