A macOS tool that renders every FL Studio project you have on disk to audio, then gives you a local web player to listen, star, rename, and prune them. Specify a folder on your computer containing all your project files, and let the script export them to mp3s in the background! Makes it very easy to search for projects by sound rather than having to open them one by one.
Many producers can relate to difficulties naming DAW projects, and ending up with bunch of "feb13_two", "collab_version_final", "asdkfjahsdf" files. This piles up over time, and when they want to go back to an old project, they may have to spend time digging through these project files, tediously opening them up one by one, hoping you find the sound you are looking for. Wouldn't it be convenient if you can manage the projects by the sounds?
I built this tool because there weren't any batch audio export tools for FL Studio for Mac users. Just specify the folder that contains all your project files, and click a button to start batch job in the background. It even builds a local web player (available via browser on localhost) that lets you listen to the exported files, and rename or delete the project files.
This tool has been incredibly helpful for myself -- I was sitting on 300+ FLPs on my computer and had no energy to open them one by one. So I kicked off the batch, then later came back to all of them neatly exported to mp3s. I found old tracks that I worked on so long ago that I had totally forgotten about, and I also now know the names of project files I want to continue working on!
Project is open-source, make sure to give a star and fork it for your customized use / workflow!
Finally something that solves the endless "open every FLP just to find that one track" problem. I pointed it at my projects folder, walked away, and came back to a clean web player where I could actually scroll and star the keepers. Kind of a lifesaver for someone with way too many unfinished ideas sitting around.
The local web player tied directly to your exports is such a thoughtful touch - skipping the upload-to-cloud step makes the whole workflow feel instant and keeps your unreleased stuff private.
this is honestly so useful for people with massive FL Studio folders, been there. one thing that would be nice is a way to preview the patterns or structure of a project before committing to exporting the full mp3, kind of like a quick snippet mode so you're not waiting forever on tracks you end up deleting anyway.
Would love to see a way to tag or group renders by folder structure or project metadata so I can quickly filter my library by genre or mood instead of scrolling through everything chronologically.
It would be awesome if you could add waveform thumbnails in the web player, so you can visually spot a track by shape before clicking play.
The local web player with starring and renaming baked right into the export pipeline is genuinely clever, turns a boring batch job into something you'd actually want to use daily to rediscover old sessions.
