What is FL Cloud?

FL Cloud is a range of features and services designed to enhance your creative workflow, deeply integrated in FL Studio for your convenience. It includes sounds (one-shot samples and loops), AI-powered mastering, distribution to all popular music platforms, and instruments and effects plugins from popular brands like Native Instruments and UVI.

What is the difference between FL Cloud Pro, Plus, and Free?

FL Cloud Free gives 10 plugins, a much smaller curated library of sounds, and AI-powered mastering using one default preset.

FL Cloud Plus delivers 18 plugins, the full library of sounds (including all exclusive artist / producer content), mastering with 15+ genre presets and user customization, and distribution to every major streaming and download platform.

FL Cloud Pro delivers 65+ plugins, the full library of sounds (including all exclusive artist / producer content), mastering with 15+ genre presets and user customization, and distribution to every major streaming and download platform.

Is FL Studio included with FL Cloud subscriptions? 

No. If you buy any Edition of FL Studio you will be able to use the free version of FL Cloud. And as part of your purchase you will get one free month of FL Cloud Pro.

Does FL Cloud require a subscription?

Every FL Studio user has access to FL Cloud Free, with a limited set of features and sounds, even if you’re only using an FL Studio trial. For those who want more, there are monthly and annual FL Cloud subscriptions offering the full range of sounds, services, and features.

So FL Cloud is an add on to FL Studio?

FL Cloud adds extra features and services to FL Studio, including additional instrument and effects plugins, music distribution, AI-powered mastering and a huge integrated sound library. It’s all part of the same family.

I’m on FL Studio 20.8 – why don’t I see FL Cloud?

You need to update! to the latest version of FL Studio. Your Lifetime Free Updates always lets you get the latest features.

Will I be charged after my free trial?

No! We do not automatically subscribe and bill you at the end of your trial. We don’t even ask for credit card (or any other payment) details.

I heard FL Cloud was slow and had some bugs?

Truthfully, when we launched last year it was sometimes slower than we wanted, especially when demand was high. That’s on us, but we’ve fixed our servers and now it works as we always planned.

Someone said FL Cloud Sounds are just for hip-hop / trap?

They should revisit and check out the library again! We’re adding thousands of sounds every month – from all different genres.

Can I use my plugins and sounds when my trial ends?

Any sounds you downloaded during your trial remain available for redownload, no matter whether you then subscribe or not.

And, of course, every FL Studio user who doesn’t subscribe at the end still gets FL Cloud Free, with 15,000 sounds, basic AI mastering, and 10 plugins.

What happens to my plugins and sounds if I cancel a subscription?

You keep all features until the end of your current monthly or annual subscription period.

Then, even if you stop subscribing, every sound you downloaded as a subscriber will remain available to redownload for as long as you need.

Not only that, but we’ll let you reopen and edit all your previous subscription plugins five more times, for 24 hours each time. This means you can reopen old projects using those plugins in the future. 

How many machines can I use my plugins on?

There’s a limit of three machines. Any new machine installations will overwrite the oldest machine activation on your account.

Are the plugins supported in other DAWs?

Opening plugins in alternative DAWs will work, however if there are authorization issues with the plugin related to your FL Cloud subscription (e.g. end of trial, end of subscription, change in FL Cloud plan) there will be no error information displayed unless opening the plugins in FL Studio.

What are the minimum system requirements for the FL Cloud Plugins application?

FL Cloud minimum system requirements are the same as FL Studio.

What happens when my trial ends?

At the end of an FL Cloud Pro trial, existing monthly or annual subscribers to FL Cloud will continue as FL Cloud Plus subscribers while non subscribers will be moved to FL Cloud Free.  

After your trial, you will not be able to open any FL Cloud Pro-only plugins without subscribing to FL Cloud Pro.

Will new plugins be added?

We plan to add new plugins to the paid tiers of FL Cloud.

What about additional presets for my FL Cloud plugins?

We don’t currently offer additional presets as part of FL Cloud, but it’s something we’re looking at.

What happens if a new version of a plugin is released by a manufacturer?

We always aim to offer you the latest version of plugins included within FL Cloud. When new versions are released to us, we will make them available in the FL Cloud Plugins app as soon as possible.

If a new version is backwards compatible, it will be offered as an update in the app. If it is not backwards compatible it will appear as a separate new plugin.

What happens if a manufacturer stops selling or supporting a product?

The last version of the plugin will normally remain available for existing users, with ongoing support subject to the developer’s policy. This excludes plugins where the developer requests that the plugin be removed. Normally this should not be the case.

What is the Project Rescue policy?

Even if you cancel a subscription, we think it’s essential that you can still open projects made with plugins which you are no longer subscribed to. 

So even after your subscription ends you can reopen and edit all your previous subscription plugins five more times, for 24 hours each time. This means you can reopen old projects using those plugins in the future. 

Please note – this policy only applies to lapsed paid subscriptions, not to plugins used during your trial.

Why am I asked for my email address to download some plugins?

In return for free access in perpetuity to some third party plugins, some partners require a mandatory marketing email opt in. The email address provided to the partner company is the one associated with your FL Cloud account. Once subscribed, you can instantly download the plugin and you are free to unsubscribe directly via the partner company if you so wish.

Why can’t I fully install some plugins directly from the FL Cloud Plugins app?

Some of our third-party partners require you to install and authenticate their products via their own plugin manager application. In these instances, you are provided with a unique serial number inside the FL Cloud Plugins app, which should be used to authenticate the plugin from the partner’s plugin manager, following the in-app instructions provided. For issues with plugin installation and authentication of these plugins, please contact the partner company’s support team directly.

What are the minimum system requirements for the plugins included in FL Cloud?

The system requirements of plugins with FL Cloud will always mirror those of FL Studio.
