Hey there, I have been on the BETA versions of FL Cloud for the last few months.  Its been free, but just in the last week or so (I don’t know when they released it – sometime in the last two weeks), but I decided to upgrade for the year.  After trying it out and them upgrading this is a great option.  Very inexpensive.  I did the launch for a year at $49 dollars and then $79 each year after, or you can pay I think $7.99 a month.  you can also buy credits, but personally I think that if you were going to get credits you might as well do the $7.99 option.  almost a 126,000 one shots, and over 300,000 sounds all royalty free. Just thought I would post this because if you follow GratuiTous’ drum course using the channel rack, the one shot samples whether drums or any other instrument drags right into the channel rack.  great upgrade in my opinion.

How are you enjoying FL Cloud?  It’s been officially launched in FL Studio 21.2

Are the sounds high-quality, and lots of variety?

Is the FL Cloud platform easy to use?

It will be a great way for FL Studio to keep steady income coming in, so that’s awesome for the brand’s resources!

I also saw they include DistroKid Distribution in there, I have a course on how to upload music to online distribution!  That’s a pretty nice bonus!

I love it. I am really working on creating drum loops with some character. On top of the TRIO bundle that you offer (which is awesome), the one shots in FL Cloud have a ton of variety. I could sit here all day for years and never run out of sounds.

Yes they do work with Distrokid. I working on getting that set up today.
the other thing is FL 21.2 has a built in mastering option. Seems to be pretty solid.

overall I think all the sound packs, loops, one shots with all instruments seems good.

That’s good news man!

Always remember to back up the sounds of each project you work on so you have the sounds no matter what happens to your sound kits folder!

I think FL 21 does this for you automatically now if you create a project folder, but this can also be done through File -> Export -> Project data files (it’s really easy and fast to do).

Keep at it man, you are determined, and that’s what it takes to learn beatmaking!
