Best DAW bar none\!" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *7 September 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "App is super powerful but hard to learn" — 3.0/5 > **Onuigbo** | *4 July 2022* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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 > > Superb but not too superb lol... ----- ### "I'll Always support Image Line" — 5.0/5 > **Roan** | *26 June 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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... > > 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 ----- ### "Best In Class" — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *13 June 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/117891/fl-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/117891/fl-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
