Fantastic. I don't use the software much anymore as my understanding of theory has improved drastically over my early uses of FL. But the time and money was well spent on this software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros SIMPLICITY!!!! This is a great starter app for developing musicians. It's also a great tool to teach MUSIC THEORY TIMING. The graphic layout easily teaches basic timing and beat break downs. Very quickly helping young musicians understand timing and note types. Also great for DJ Remixing applications #### Cons Sometimes it became a little cumbersome to deal with alternate or less traditional timings. --- ### Don't believe the Anti-FL Hype... Best DAW bar none! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Patrick W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Its the best. Simple to use, easy to integrate with audio interfaces/hardware and plays well with most all plugins and software. IMO, most music producers/composers/arrangers should find the workflow of FL studio is very efficient, with a robust set of tools built in and offering the ability to do just about anything your imagination wants to hear quickly and precisely. I think every musician should try this DAW out at some point because if your brain works like mine, it is nearly perfect. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Firstly, the workflow is flawless for my brain. As a user since Fruity Loops 3 (circa 2007) and an Audio Engineer & Electronic Music producer, I have used most popular DAWs and for my workflow, none have the suite of features FL does, are as easy to use, not CPU intensive, and (possibly one of the best features) the perpetual license upgrades with a single license purchase! That means no nickle and diming their customers with periodic paid upgrades and new versions to sink money into. Nope. You buy the one license, you get free upgrades for LIFE! Lets see Pro Tools do that...(hint: you won't) #### Cons Not really any true cons from my perspective, it does what its supposed to do very well and is affordable. I suppose I would like more hardware offerings from the company, and the ability to set keyboard shortcuts for common commands would be a godsend but these are more feature requests than bugs/cons. #### Reasons for choosing FL Studio FL Studio's workflow made more sense for my approach #### Reasons for switching to FL Studio FL Studio makes much more sense for both my overall workflow and pocketbook --- ### App is super powerful but hard to learn - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Onuigbo D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for free trial - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Superb but not too superb lol... #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The Power this app holds is unexplainable, I do use external plugins to mix and master my songs because the stock plugins sucks #### Cons the drum pack sucks, if m paying for this app I should get every high-quality drumkit and not generic ones #### Reasons for switching to FL Studio the tools are more advanced in fl studio --- ### I'll Always support Image Line - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Roan D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered FL Studio has been the best program to write in or to hook up to midi and to record vocals straight into a live recording. Image line has seriously done a great job in developing this program all the while looking after the users by listening to them and then tweaking VST's and fx generators / plugins. You guys rock. Thanks #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros After extensively using composing programs like Reason, Cakewalk, impulse Tracker, and Fl Studio etc , I found that FL studio was the most user friendly when learning the program. It also, for some reason, has the best sound engine. It just sounds so much better than the others . FL studios code must be so neat and tidy because it never hangs freezes while writing a large composition, and it just keeps ticking on time as soon as you push spacebar. #### Cons After using F L since when it was originally called Fruity Loops , I still struggle to load up "flp" files from 2003 in the Latest FL Studio. Maybe when saving a new project, it could copy those exact samples automatically into a new folder dedicated to each project. Now that would be helpful.Think about it!. That way each composition safely keeps it's associated files and samples together, including any licenses if needed for releasing. But That's laziness on my part really... #### Reasons for choosing FL Studio It's just a better product overall. It would win in 8\10 race categories .... if it were a race.. lol #### Reasons for switching to FL Studio easier to navigate and has superior options, tech support and sound engine. It's easy to compare the level of technology that FL Studio offers to the others. --- ### Best In Class - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Christopher E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered With a variety of full DAWs to choose from, and more music production software and apps releasing every day, FL Studio continues to stand out among it's compitition growing in popularity. The overall functionality and integration is impressive to say the least. Offering full mobile production apps for iOS, android, and windows, it's the only company to not only have mobile versions of itself, but also integrates with any system, beit hardware or software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The overall features and functionality of FL Studio are the main reason for it's increasing popularity within the industry. It's especially growing in popularity with hip-hop producers. #### Cons I have used several other products that were much easier to use without nearly as much learning curve in the beginning. Ironically enough, the best qualities of FL Studio is also the reason for it's negative qualities. Because there's so much to unpack and understand with it's multitudes of features and functionality it comes with a pretty big learning curve if you really want to utilize it's full potential. #### Reasons for choosing FL Studio I was personally drawn to FL Studio for it's virtual instrument selection, and integrative workflows. Using a DAW on every device has allowed me to make my business fully mobile, while maintaining a professional quality mix for my customers. At the end of the day, other products in this industry weren't even close to the mobility and functionality FL Studio comes stock with. --- ### Quickly becoming the industry standard - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ryder M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Absolutely wonderful. Coming from the days of reel to reel, through the era of the porta series. My world completely opened up. Bringing music to the digital age and the amazing features that it has makes it one of the best if not the best Daw on the market. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use, there is a very minimal learning curve and any age can open it and begin making music immediately. #### Cons Sometimes the program crashes but mainly when there is a beta release or you are quick to update the which seems like weekly updates. Gets tiring. Once a year is more than enough. #### Reasons for choosing FL Studio The ease of product, the webpage for support. Price. --- ### Best DAW for Beginners - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Awesome. Elivated my music to the next level. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros FL Studio is by far the best buy you can do as producer or artist as first step into professional recording. The unlimited licence concept is already enough to outshine most competitors, but there‘s more. FL is one of the most used DAWs in the world and thats why you have access to thousand of tutorials, templates, inspirations and even vsts online for free. So the learn process is quite smooth, which is also supported by the uncomplicated UI of the Software. I really like the fact, that you can dive into professional levels just by using this software only - even if good hardware could show you the real extent of FL Studio. #### Cons There are literaly none compared to other DAWs, but you should own a PC or Laptopt with good specs to run it efficient. #### Reasons for choosing FL Studio I didn‘t want to be restricted to OSX/iOS #### Reasons for switching to FL Studio Better Interface, compatible with more VSTs, FL VSTs and the drums are too easy on FL Studio. --- ### An excellent software, no complaints - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Davide B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Newspapers - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered A breeze to use. It just works, and does perfectly what it’s supposed to do. The note editor for example is one of the best in town, the concept is the same as all but FL studio is somehow smoother and easier to use once you learn how to do it. There are better alternatives in theory, but it depends very much on your needs and commitment. Unless you have very specific needs not covered but FL Studio (unlikely), why go overboard with apps that are too complicated even to do the basic stuff when FL Studio just works? #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros FL Studio is quite easy to get started with, from deployment to basic config and the first note recorded it is much less overwhelming than other more complicated alternatives. This doesn’t mean that it lacks features, however, especially if you’re into certain kind of music (more towards electronic and such than symphonic or such). Yes, the interface is not perfect and there are alternatives even more powerful, but for the price and mellower learning curve I liked and still like it a lot #### Cons Nothing much really. It works, and is relatively simpler to use (a DAW is never easy though, even doing the basic stuff like recording or writing a note is usually more complicated that it seems). And it does not require the same amount of money or some alternatives to begin with #### Reasons for choosing FL Studio At the time it was cheaper and less overwhelming for a beginner, and after years of use I can confirm! --- ### excellent for musicians - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It has very modern sounds but especially it is super light #### Cons I had some problems wanting to use it within other sound editing programs where the export was not working correctly. On the other hand, some plugins, especially the VST ones, do not work #### Reasons for switching to FL Studio FL is super easy to use and does not consume resources so I could use it live with only a 1gb tablet --- ### studio fl is a must for a studio manager - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Animation - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Excellent compatibility with VST instruments of all types and other audio DAW plugins #### Cons FL Studio has a slightly confusing interface and some shortcuts cannot easily be customised. --- ### FL Studio: Easy-to-Use and Good Features for Music Producers - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alexander P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Amazing experience using FL Studio. I compose primarily using mouse-and-piano roll as my workflow, and this is the only DAW that can do this well. The ease of use has always been a plus for me in this software, and the things you can do are many.I've used this software for composing both Orchestral and EDM music, and it has worked very well for my music. Despite sometimes there are crashes due to a couple incompatible plugins, in general and using a save-every-time handy workflow, it is very dependable.Completely safe to say I recommend this software to anyone. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros MIDI Editing is incredibly fast to do, intuitive, and the provided Piano Roll has many tools to modify, change and control what you make.Audio Editing through Edison, Vocals Editing through NewTone, and Rhythm Editing through NewTime have you covered on many aspects.Automation and the many provided Synths in the software are very easy to use, intuitive and are focused toward productivity.Video preview for importing videos and syncing music-to-picture.A "Patcher" plugin that allows you to make combinations of different synth and vst plugins along with some custom visual GUI controls you can create and later use.Having a waveform view or "ghosts" from other channels in the piano roll is a great thing to have.Free Lifetime Updates, this means you don't need to buy the software's newest iteration every year or when a new update is created, instead, you get the updates for free with a perpetual license. #### Cons Certain VST plugins may produce crashes. Saving often can be a good strategy to overcome this.MIDI controller CC adjustements to things such as Volume faders or Knobs is something that is not present and could be nice having, for example in situations where a certain hardware controller knob is producing bad MIDI data due to a fault, limiting the CCs or even disabling them could be useful to have in FL Studio.The default reverb could be improved. --- ### Unique workflow, with great tools and free updates! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've used FL Studio over 15 years in various capacities and it has always been a positive experience. I have however moved my live looping and live recording needs to another DAW, but I always come back to FL Studio for a few things; - Quick startup for experiments and ideas - Scoring to picture / video (Although I may be moving this to another DAW, it still works fine in FLS) - Managing plugins for experiments and sound design (their plugin browser is easy ton configure and customize) -Creation of video / visuals using zGameEditor #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The free updates is by far the most valuable part of FL Studio. Having purchased the software over 9 years ago, I'm get new features and updates for free up to this day. Compared to any other DAW, that's unheard of. Aside from its unique workflow which is quite useful for breaking out of creative blocks, there are a few excellent flexibility options for sound design and composing alike. Patcher, its unlimited node based effects chain solution is invaluable for sound design sessions. Its Piano Roll is also the best I've used in comparison to some other DAWs and is a great option for working out MIDI parts on the fly. Plugin Delay compensation used to be an issue, but it's now automatically handled well. Some older reviews might mention this as a con, so it's worth pointing out that Image Line's free updates policy is one that pays for itself in the long run. Since its popularity has increased tenfold over the last few years, almost every plugin or 3rd party solution supports FL Studio, so there's no real reason not to have even the cheapest version of this DAW in your arsenal. Coupled with the fact that some versions come with the FL Mobile editor built in, you can make music on the go with FL Mobile, and import your project in the full FL Studio to finish it up. #### Cons Live recording is often highlighted as FL Studio's biggest snag point, and after using various other DAWs, its outdated approach isn't as streamlined as its competitors. It is however completely usable and can provide more than enough flexibility to how recording is done, such as through its audio editor "Edison". There are some plugins which have issues with FL Studio, based on the way their buffer requirements are set up, but these are usually configurable from the plugin wrapper and can be resolved. --- ### Fruity loop studio review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: ngala e. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Regardless of the way that it's not perfect, I love it so far...I am 96% happy with the eventual outcomes I acquire from each venture. I make instrumentals and record vocals for my customers utilizing this specific programming and I am truly flabbergasted by the nature of the outcomes. it is wonderful programming. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The fruity studio is the best sound-altering programming I have at any point utilized, I would say. It has an amicable UI with a ton of astonishing highlights to change from making it simple for amateurs to use. I truly like the nature of the fundamental example packs It accompanies, the consoles (pianos), drums, synths, guitars, and so forth which gives me a decision of different instruments. Just with these example packs, I can create excellent instrumentals without the need of utilizing any outsider module. Another astonishing component I genuinely like about the product is a module called "Z game visualizer" which permits me to straightforwardly make a video for my present activities utilizing 3D impacts and pictures on account of an immense library of excellent stock pictures they have and once my video is made, It can straightforwardly be transferred to YouTube (with various transferring designs accessible to browse) and different other platforms. In the most recent versions (20), It is possible to create automation for different knobs. It makes that air of demonstrable skill as I can settle on when a specific impact should be dynamic or quieted. It is feasible to modify a workable format as indicated by the client's inclination (like color grading various instruments and appointing them to a particular mixer track) along these lines, each time you open up a new task, you will have all that set by your enjoying which saves a great deal #### Cons Fl is only accessible in English, Dutch, and Chinese languages. There are individuals who do not understand either of these languages and will find it very difficult to corporate with the product. The Eq parametric 2 actually has a few restrictions. It's not explicit in removing between frequencies. --- ### FL Studio Stands Out in Music Production.

It is just simple to use and is the best for anyone who wants to be a music producer, beat maker and record engineer in less time. #### Cons FL Studio is not as strong in audio recording and editing relating to other DAWs like Pro Tools or Logic Pro. This can be a drawback for users who need robust multitrack recording capabilities. --- ### Use Fl studio for better quality - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oben J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Business Supplies and Equipment - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Having involved FL Studio throughout the previous 2 years, I can sincerely say FL Studio is the best music creation programming due to its usability and amicable UI. Ableton has each component that FL Studio has however for cutting edge clients definitely know the wording for a ton of things. FL Studio's expectation to absorb information isn't generally so steep as Ableton's. FL studio has instructional exercises in overflow, all over. It has an underlying sound visualizer, runs on each working framework, and has module support, they likewise have a free form that is time limitless. FL Studio has each adaptability you really want to make the sounds the manner in which you need. It has a ton of synthesizers and supports outsider modules too. FL Studio has an extremely instinctive blender with something like 236 tracks to connect your examples/sounds. You can add impacts straightforwardly to the blender and set it's level. The association is likewise better in FL Studio. You can gather tracks, variety them for simpler arrangement, conceal assembled tracks which can tidy up your space on the playlist, and so on. #### Cons There is nothing worth grumbling about in FL Studio. In any case, if I somehow happened to give criticism, then I would recommend that the directing system could be worked on a little on the grounds that its intricacy can end up being demotivational for fledglings. --- ### FL Studio is the world's n°1 Audio Production Software.

All saved projects are located by the left side of the screen when you open FL studio. You can make beats and record your song when you want in the DAW. Do not turn off the fruity limiter on the master track. Everything has been set automatically to get the best sound from your sounds and music. It's very easy to use especially for new users. #### Cons The stuck plugin de-esser is not as good as the paid plugin de-esser. It's still ok to use for those artist that doesn't have the 's' siblings too much in their vocals. All you need to do, is load up fruity maximus and select the de-esser narrow band preset. --- ### FL Studio Overall Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Redley P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Networking - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I'm able to create libraries and organize my sounds with ease. The playlist, piano roll, step sequencer and mixer and also I love a custom plugins like Sakura, 3xOsc and etc... Compared to other DAWs that do not have good synths. The Automation tool is so OP, its easy to shape parameters so that's also one good factor also. #### Cons Overall I have no complaints but maybe a few suggestions. The mixer for one is okay but it's slow switching back and forth and routing here and there. The custom projects that come with it are a little too focused on western music categories I think a few more genres would feel more diverse. Recently I realized a few new effect plugins have been added but the tutorials aren't helpful. Also a friend always had trouble installing third-party plugins and sometimes they don't show in his library as a posed to mine. Please find a way to make this process easier, that's all thank you. --- ### One of the best professional digital audio workstations - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
