One of the reasons I switched over to Logic from Protools, is because you can bounce high res mp3's no problem, along with a whole bunch of other codecs.

You can set the bit rate to whatever you want.

Using iTunes will compress a .wav file into garbage, so I leave it alone.

Also in QuickTime Pro you can export an mp3 to a .wav file at a crazy low bit rate, which is good for choppin' up drums and what not.

Which programs do you use to make an mp3?

    What am I missing out on?

    you're probably not missing out on anything, per se. but you can do anything imaginable within the confines of one program. most other music programs can be rewired through it. it can read virtually any sound file. you can pretty much configure any and everything in it to suit your specific workflow needs. it's like a one stop music shop where you can create, record, edit, and master all in the same suite. no matter what you're used to doing and how, be it software or hardware based, it can be done with the greatest of ease with the beast known to man as fl studio. and once you find out what works for you in FL, you can always find ways to incorporate techniques and hardware used in other music production atmospheres.

    sidenote: FL studio can be run on a Mac....


    What are the system requirements of FL and does FL Studio run on a Mac?

    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).
