How To Install Fl Studio On Mac Using Parallels

MAC USERS MUST READ FIX FOR POTENTIAL ERROR MESSAGE 'SOFTWARE MUST BE UPDATED'

Since the update, Apple requires a new verification from us developers which is still pending unfortunately, that’s why this message pops up. But for now, there is an easy quick-solution:

I recently bought a Macbook Pro 2012 with the intention of running windows using bootcamp so I could use my music software of choice, FL Studio. A friend of mine gave me an expensive plugin, Omnisphere, but the licesnse is for Mac. Can I use the software Parallels to both run FL Studio on Windows and use the Mac Omnisphere plugin within FL Studio. Why Use Parallels Instead of Boot Camp or VirtualBox? RELATED: How to Install Windows on a Mac With Boot Camp. Sure, you could set up your Mac to run Windows with Boot Camp, but that means restarting your computer every time you need to use Windows. Parallels runs Windows within macOS, using what’s called a Virtual Machine. All FL Studio purchases include Lifetime Free Updates Buy FL Studio now to unlock the latest version and all future FL Studio releases. Nothing to pay, ever again! Because we believe you should have the functionality you paid for, bug-fixed, developed and updated for as long as we develop FL Studio. Waiting for Image-Line’s official native OSX release is your best bet. They've been working on it for awhile and just semi recently (within the past year) released the official alpha for it, so they're making progress.

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND using 64 Bit plugins in FL Studio 64 Bit and 32 Bit plugins in FL Studio 32 Bit. On Windows, if you load 64 Bit plugins in FL Studio 32 Bit or 32 Bit plugins in FL Studio 64 Bit, a 'bit bridge' will automatically be used. Bridging consumes about 2% extra CPU, per plugin. Certainly, a few bridged plugins won't normally. I use FL Studio full time via BootCamp on my MBP. However, when you install Windows 7 on your comp, make sure you install the 64bit version, and not the 32bit like I did!! I can only access half my memory, CPU etc.

  1. Open Terminal by searching for it using the Spotlight Search in the upper right corner (the magnifier icon)

  3. Enter your password and confirm with the Enter button

  5. Tap the lock button in the lower left corner to make changes
  6. Check “Allow Apps downloaded from”: Anywhere
  7. Restart your DAW

Logic Users: If the VST still does not pop up in Logic, please go to Options => Plugin Manager and Rescan. Use the search function (upper right corner) and search for TrackGod. When it shows up, check the Use checkbox, close the plugin manager and restart your MAC

Parallels Desktop 10 – Do you love your Windows Applications and wish you could run them on your Mac? Well as some of you might or might not know, Parallels Desktop is the perfect solution for you. I write software for a living, so I am what I guess you would call a power user? Nevertheless, I wanted to see how well Parallels Desktop would perform. How would it perform if I wanted to write software using Visual Studio 2013 on my Mac.

Parallels Desktop To The Rescue

Parallels Desktop creates a virtualized environment from where you can run Windows applications right on your Mac. This in itself is truly astonishing, but Parallels Desktop goes one step further. It also allows you to use a feature called Coherence. This creates a seamless experience between your Windows applications and your Mac operating system. You have to experience it to understand how incredible it is for user functionality and usability.

I created the following video on YouTube to illustrate this concept. I decided that I would use Visual Studio 2013 to write a simple web page and publish that directly from my Mac. The ease of use was incredible, and the speed of Parallels Desktop actually made me forget that Visual Studio was running in a virtualized environment. Start with a valid copy of Windows (Parallels Desktop even allows you to download and install Windows 10 as well as other OS’s), a copy of Visual Studio and a few hours set aside to play.

How
Installing Parallels Desktop and Setting Up Visual Studio

I am surprised at how easy the installation is on my Mac. It made me feel like I was running the installer from a regular msi. The process was extremely easy and user friendly. After the installation had completed, it started the wizard that would guide me through creating a new Virtual Machine. This process was just as easy. It even allowed me to copy the files and settings from my current Windows PC as an option to create a VM.

I used an ISO image for Windows 8.1 and after the installation completed, I had a blank slate on which I could install Visual Studio. For those that want to download Visual Studio 2013, check out the Visual Studio Community Edition. It’s free. One thing I did have to do though before running Visual Studio was to allow it to always run as Administrator. I show you how in the video above.

Final Thoughts

To be honest, I expected Parallels Desktop to work pretty much as most other VM solutions out there do. What I didn’t expect was how the experience would affect me. It felt seamless and natural. It felt like I was using a Windows Applications on Windows, not my Mac. I am blown away by the speed of Parallels Desktop and how my Windows experience flowed in sync with my Mac OS X experience. I will be the first to admit that while I really love my Mac, I can’t live without my PC.
