The DAW, formerly known as "FL Studio 21", is apparently going to be rebranded as "FL Studio 2024" for its next upcoming release (currently undergoing public beta testing).
Previously, this beta had been referred to publicly as "v21.3 beta x", ... but as of the current "v21.3 beta 3", Image-Line have apparently decided to refer to this as the "FL Studio 2024.1 Beta" instead.
Any thoughts about the new version scheme and FL Studio being retitled to "FL Studio 2024", "FL Studio 2025", etc. going forwards?
Do users feel positive, negative, or indifferent to this change?
Is this all just a marketing ploy to attract more attention, or is it beneficial and more obvious for customers to recognise which is the latest up-to-date release?
With FL Studio's "Lifetime Free Updates", perhaps this is less of an issue, since existing licence-holders will always get free updates, whenever they're released, regardless of their major or minor status.
But, could this same "annual titling" format be adopted by the other rival DAW developers, such as "Ableton Live 2025", "Studio 2025", and "Cubase 2025?" Or would that be silly?
(no doubt, they'd probably try to monetize any such a change, for more regular annual 'paid/major' updates')![:lol:]( "Laughing")
