What are the system requirements of FL and does FL Studio run on a Mac?
2010/05/20, viewed 11693 times
FL Studio, as well many of its plugins are PC only software. It will not natively run on Mac OSX (and a port to Mac OSX is not likely due to too many technical issues).

However, you can run FL Studio on an Intel Mac with
Bootcamp (running XP, Vista or Windows 7) or running Parallels or VMWare Fusion.

Full sytem requirements of FL Studio:

  • 2Ghz AMD or Intel Pentium 3 compatible CPU with full SSE1 support 
  • (or) Intel Mac with Bootcamp (running XP or Vista) or running Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
  • Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7 (32 & 64 bit)
  • 512MB ram
  • 500MB free harddisk space
  • Windows-compatible soundcard with DirectSound drivers. ASIO drivers are required for audio recording (FL installer comes with generic Asio4All drivers)
If your system meets the minimum system requirements, it'll be your actual system resources (memory, CPU, ...) that could impose limits on your FL Studio projects.

The faster your CPU the more channels you will be able to run simultaneously and/or the more effects you will be able to use. The more memory you have the larger the samples you will be able to load.

To find out how FL Studio behaves on your machine please download the demo and try it out for yourself.

As we have several products that run on Mac (eg. DeckaDance, Morphine, ...) you will also find an indication in our online shop on which OS the software runs (indicated with Windows and/or Mac icons).
