Fl studio is the result of over 20 years of continuous development, to become the fastest way from your brain to your speakers. So what would work for sure is any of the cloud-based DAWs that are out there, and there are a few.Fl Studio Mobile On Chromebook. Was first released in 1997 for the Atari and Windows 95 platforms. It is one of the most popular DAWs used by musicians, producers, and electronic musicians.

And then of course it has a fully functioning web-browser. FL Studio is a digital audio workstation developed by the Belgian company Image-Line. The idea is that you are supposed to have a google account and you can use the chromebook to log into google and move files around in your cloud drive, edit google sheets/docs, etc. Then you just need to sort out some 3rd party VSTs (I imagine Airwindows stuff would work).Īnyways, my understanding of Chrome OS is that it does most stuff in the cloud. If you get say a 64gig flashdrive and set Reaper up to save and render directly to the flashdrive and keep all your samples/recordings on there, then you can keep a lot of that data off the limited chromebook storage. Though again, with Reaper, I think you can install it to a flashdrive as a portable program and run it on any compatible computer you plug it into. Not a lot of room to store samples/recordings/renders, or to install software for that matter. Not sure how large chrome OS or a Linux distro would be, but let’s say after formatting and getting an OS you have 16 gigs left. Setting aside the issue of processing power/compatibility, you only have 32 gigs of storage to work with. So assuming you can get something like Reaper on there, I bet it could be made to run. Looking at the kind of Chromebook I would want to buy (say USD 300 and under), I’m surprised to find that some of these are running an X86-64 compatible CPU (which is the same as you would be running on Windows), though they are low-spec for 4-5 years ago.
