User Interface Part 2

 

 THE BROWSER

The Browser and some features

File browser provides access to projects, samples, preset libraries and VST/AU plugins.

NOTE: FL Studio will only search for files in folders you have added to the Browser. By default FL Studio does not include any of your personal folders. The simplest way to add folders is drag and drop folders from your Operating System browser to the FL Studio Browser. Searches include sub-folders so you only need to add parent folders you want to use.

• Browser controls
• Using the Browser (working with content)
• Adding your own folders
• The Current project data
• The Plugin Database (VST/AU s and favorite plugins lists)
