Pros/Cons
Pros
- I love that it's easy to use. The best part for me is that you can download additional features and Plug-ins or even create your own if you know some coding.
- I like to record podcasts, radio dramas, etc. and was recommended this program as a free, good program for that purpose. It's an excellent deal for the money ($0).
- I highly recommend it because it has no crashes if it has not been modified. It produces great sound quality for free software.
Cons
- Audacity suffers from one of the ugliest graphical user interfaces out there. Contrast is poor, the blue-on-grey aesthetic is exhausting, and the icons are straight out of a clipart site from 1998.
- For instance, after the audio recording has stopped one would logically export it to a folder where it would be saved. But you have to press stop, even if the recording has stopped.
- Learning curve is slow and frustrating, specially if you want to work with different tracks.
Pros
- Overall is a great tool for beat making and music production and the user interface is so intuitive. The lifetime free updates makes the price feel like a bargain IMO.
- The thing I like the most about FL studio is the interface and the ease of music production on FL studio. There is a large library of inbuilt samples and plugins which are very helpful.
- Has been my favorite DAW for almost 5 years. The community is very vibrant and resourceful.
Cons
- It might be confusing for new users as it has different layout than typical music production softwares.
- Sometimes there were bugs and lags, and it can take forever to scan every single VST.
- It was hard for me to understand how to operate the side chaining work flow on the mixer too but as you use it you get to understand how it work.
