### "Un logiciel complet pour la production musicale"

September 10, 2025

5.0

Mon expérience avec FL Studio est très positive. C’est un logiciel complet et puissant qui permet de passer d’une idée simple à une production professionnelle. L’apprentissage demande un peu de temps, mais une fois maîtrisé, c’est un outil extrêmement créatif

Pros

Le séquenceur et le piano roll sont extrêmement intuitifs et puissants pour composer, l’interface est claire et visuelle

Cons

La prise en main peut être un peu complexe au début (on s'y fait vite), surtout avec la richesse des fonctionnalités

### "Puissant et intuitif pour créer de la musique facilement"

October 19, 2025

4.0

Mon expérience avec FL Studio est très positive. C’est un logiciel puissant, stable et flexible qui permet de laisser libre cours à sa créativité musicale.

Pros

J’adore le séquenceur pas à pas, la richesse des plugins et des instruments intégrés, ainsi que la flexibilité pour créer différents styles musicaux. L’interface est intuitive

Cons

La prise en main peut être déroutante pour les débutants et certains plugins demandent un peu de temps pour être maîtrisés. Le coût peut être élevé si l’on veut toutes les extensions.

### "Old meets new technology"

October 4, 2024

5.0

Ive been using fruity loops since i was in Middle School back in the 90s. It produces a very high quality smooth music track a real professional dj would be proud of without the vinyl records.

Pros

FL Studio has been the best software for DJs wanting to mix music for over 20 years. It has all the features and settings you could ever want and the interface has nice graphics.

Cons

Some of the more advanced settings are hard to find due to the amount of different options this program has. Well worth the time finding them.

### "#1 loop mixing software "

July 17, 2024

4.0

Good, but at certain times frustrating yet rewarding.

Pros

I love the capability of this program. It is not easy to learn all its features, but there's a lot of tutorials online and if you like making loops and editing them in sequence those programs for you. I feel like the previous versions allowed you to integrate things a lot easier and now it's all piece-mealed and priced out differently. But a lot of programs are putting things behind paywalls.

Cons

How certain features are put behind premium price plans. For a program that has a lot of features, it doesn't really make it simple to learn. There are other programs that are easier to learn, but this one is a solid program with a lot of in-depth customization once you really get to know how to use it. It's been around for a really long time and it will be around for a long time afterwards so it's a good program to sink your money into if you are looking for something long-term.

May 21, 2024

As a producer I recommend upgrading a software when you have money. This application is completely capable of anything you want to make.

Pros

It's easy to use this is a creative way of composing good music I have used studio one mostly and I find fl studios very inspiring.

Cons

You can make a beat and record using fl studio only fully functioning for low cost included plugins and templates it works well with no problems.

### "FL Studio: Easy-to-Use and Good Features for Music Producers"

September 18, 2023

5.0

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.

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.

### "It's the Key to My Creativity "

March 8, 2024

5.0

It provides solutions to create beats, and produce vocals.

Pros

Fruity Loop Studio helps to accelerate my music production process and keeps my work organized which tremendously increases my productivity rates. I use it for producing both instrumental beats and song recordings. It's a pretty nice and versatile music production software. It's easy to learn and provides a user-friendly workspace with advanced functionalities.

Cons

FL studio lacks advanced vocal editing capacities. I tried the Newton plugin a few times and couldn't get enough from it, unlike Cubase's built-in vocal editor (audioVari). I think that if more advanced functionalities like pitch and timing editing of individual notes are added, It will be a big stress-relieve for some of us who are lazy and like to depend on just a single software.

### "If you're working at the MIDI level, look no further than FL Studio"

December 29, 2022

4.0

FL Studio makes writing music incredibly fast and enjoyable. The core plugins are enough to get you started, and are of excellent quality (though you may find yourself still using 3rd party effects for reverbs and delays). However if you're a beginner, what it offers is more than enough, and you'll have no problem getting used to the software, even though all DAWs look pretty overwhelming at first.I had to write a review for FL Studio because it has given me so much and I wanted to give something back. If it wasn't for image-line I probably wouldn't be making music right now.

Pros

The biggest and best feature of FL Studio, in my opinion, is the piano roll. It makes working at the MIDI level a joy. So if you're more accustomed to using virtual instruments and moving notes around manually instead of recording, then you'll get some serious bang for your buck here. Other DAW users have been envious of my ability to pitch bend without the use of automation or drawing lines all over the pattern.If you don't own a MIDI controller, the piano roll wins again because it's just so easy to modify the notes and FL comes with the best virtual keyboard I've ever used. Select the scale you want and never play out of tune again. With FL 21 you can now even select the root note so it's not locked to C anymore.Another pro I need to mention is its small price tag. I picked my producer copy up for ~£150 during a Christmas sale. That's for lifetime free updates, too. Not only is it one of the most inexpensive DAWs, but they do have a few sales you should keep your eye out for if you're considering purchasing it.Then there's FLEX.. a preset based synthesizer. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] of FL Studio get access to a bunch of free packs, and the premium packs aren't that expensive either. I bought one for £15 inc. VAT. FLEX has really inspired me to a whole new level. The music just about writes itself. I couldn't believe it came with FL Studio for free.

Cons

I wasn't a huge fan of how patterns are separate from tracks. It's a bit of a weird concept to get your head around. It makes things a little more versatile, but it can also be quite confusing on larger projects if you don't assemble it correctly. You also need to make sure you have the correct instrument selected before laying down notes in the pattern. It's just something I don't like very much about the software. If the pros didn't outweigh this problem so much, I probably wouldn't have stuck with FL and recommended it.

### "Unique workflow, with great tools and free updates!"

September 23, 2021

5.0

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

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.

### "Fl Studio “Le logiciel Idéal pour un producteur de musique”"

July 16, 2021

5.0

Fl studio me permet d’enregistrer d’une manière plus simple et professionnelle des voix, de créer des instrumentales pour n’importe quel genre musical. Je trouve que Fl studio est tout simplement le logiciel idéal pour un producteur de musique car il répond à toutes questions!

Pros

Je trouve que le superbe application, “Fl Studio”, dès son démarrage, présente une parfaite curiosité pour les débutants voyant le fruity, ils voulaient sûrement voir ce qu’il y a à l’intérieur! L’apparence est magnifique, surtout les dernières versions. Le regroupement des différents instruments et de paramètres porte une parfaite adaptation à n’importe quel débutant. L’animation que font certains éléments en cliquant ou frappe une touche du clavier par exemple est extrêmement réelle et permet aux utilisateurs de se retrouver plus habiles du sujet. De plus, Fl Studio n’est pas qu’un simple logiciel de creation de musique mais aussi d’apprendre quelques règles de la musique aussi. Prenons le cas de la section “Piano Roll”, cette section apporte une parfaite lisibilité des touche et le truc c’est qu’on peut jouer une morceau au clavier sans connaître les notes musical puisque Fl Studio a deja régler le problème ! Je trouve ça très intéressant pour moi par exemple, qui n’avait jamais apprendre les notes musicales.

Cons

• Personnellement, je trouve que le thème, bien qu’il est recommandé, peut changer. Je pense que ce sera sympa si on ajoute un jeux de thème, comme ça les utilisateurs pourraient choisir le thème désiré, je trouve qu’avec le thème sombre, ça parait un peu trop professionnel pour un débutant, par exemple moi, en démarrant la première fois Fl Studio, je me croyais être dans un film Matrix ou il y a plein de trucs sur la technologie. Je pense que ce sera plus beau d’en ajouter d’autres thèmes que le sombre. • En fermant un projet et la réouvrir, il y a plein de fenêtres qui s’ouvre, généralement, ces fenêtres reste toujours ouverte. Je pense que ce sera plus sympa au démarrage d’un projet les fenêtres reste cachée et nous renvoie les plus importantes comme celle du TimeLine. • “Une boutique FL Studio” avoir une boutique indépendante du site officiel, c’est a dire dans le logiciel direct, ce sera magnifique pour moi personnellement. Par exemple, si je voulais avoir Nexus, je devrais aller l’acheter sur un site en dehors de l’application et l’installation aussi ça prend un peu de risque. Je pense que ce sera sympa si on ajoute une boutique directement dans l’application, comme ça, on pourais-je télécharger nos plug-ins et de les installer d’une manière plus facile!

### "Don't believe the Anti-FL Hype... Best DAW bar none!"

September 7, 2023

5.0

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.

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.

### "Fl studio, the first love of every modern beatmaker"

August 28, 2021

4.0

Personally, I have found what I need to produce in this daw, it has good plugins, quality virtual instruments, and very good support for third-party plugins. Fl studio was the first serious daw I tried, and I loved it, although over time I have needed best daws, or better said, more balanced. Fl studio helped me to get into the world of music production in a very comfortable way, and I think that any beginner should give this daw a chance.

Pros

FL studio seems to me a highly comfortable daw, is super simple to use, is visually attractive, and has a huge amount of plugins and vst that will facilitate our musical composition process, fl studio is focused on the creation of electronic music and lends itself well to be a beat-making daw, also allows us to record an audio clip and lets us make a song from the creation of the instrumental to the mastering process, no doubt fl studio is a cheap and very complete daw.

Cons

Fl studio, is not for everyone, despite being able to perform all kinds of projects in this daw, it is very limited in certain aspects, this music production software is highly focused on that, the production, fl studio is very limited in aspects such as mixing and mastering, not that it can't perform these tasks, but the workflow consumes more time than other daws, another limitation is the recording of instruments, personally, I feel uncomfortable recording in fl studio, I think it is a daw with more emphasis on MIDI creation, fl studio has no support for analog equipment, we can't connect external hardware, since fl studio doesn't have compatibility. If you are looking to create projects that require the use of analog tools, I regret to inform you that this daw isn't for you.

### "I'll Always support Image Line "

June 26, 2022

5.0

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

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...

### "Fruity loop studio review"

June 1, 2021

5.0

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.

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.

### "Sostanza e facilità "

August 7, 2023

5.0

FL Studio mi ha dato la possibilità di produrre musica e di raggiungere traguardi molto importanti, come "Reasons to Love You", brano prodotto con l'alterego 2Choice, che mi ha permesso di mettere in bacheca 2 dischi d'oro. È semplicemente fantastico, ho provato anche altre DAW ma l'intuitività presente nel software di Image Line non è raggiungibile lontanamente

Pros

Uso FL Studio da più di 8 anni, e da utente ormai avanzato, posso dire che è decisamente la DAW con cui mi trovo meglio. L'intuitvità del software, aiuta il produttore musicale a comporre senza passare troppo tempo a trovare il plugin da utilizzare, è facile e veloce per poter mettere a fuoco le idee che hai sul momento. Oltre a questo, dispone di sufficenti plugin integrati per dare al sound un tocco professionale.

Cons

Alcuni bug fanno chiudere l'applicazione in modo anomalo, altri "uccidono" la CPU, nel senso che la sfruttano forse troppo, più di quanto richiesto. Per il resto non trovo difetti, è una DAW perfetta per ogni produttore, sia neofita che esperto.

August 24, 2022

4.0

Habiendo una amplia variedad de DAW ricas en funciones para elegir y un número cada vez mayor de software y aplicaciones de producción musical, FL Studio continúa diferenciándose de sus competidores en constante expansión. Estoy usando FL Studio hace años, inclusive probé algunos otros programas y, sinceramente, FL Studio es el hizo que hacer música fuera muy simple, fácil y divertido. Todo el programa funciona sin problemas y tiene todo lo que necesita sin mucha navegación.

Pros

FL Studio me parece un DAW muy cómodo, extremadamente atractivo en lo visual y con una gran cantidad de instrumentos nativos y VST para facilitar el proceso de creación. Algo que me encanta es la función de notas adhesivas dentro del mismo DAW. Es un software que le va a permitir pasar rápidamente de principiante a experto y que tiene una grandisima comunidad conformada con muchos tutoriales sobre cómo usar el producto, por lo que los principiantes no tendrán que luchar. Posicionada como lider del mercado. Un DAW completo para poder realizar todo el proceso de trabajo, desde la creación instrumental hasta la masterización. FL Studio es definitivamente un DAW barato y muy completo.

Cons

Personalmente, me siento incómodo grabando instrumentos en FL Studio. Creo que es un Daw más centrado para dispositivos de creacion MIDI. El hardware externo no se puede conectar a FL Studio porque no es compatible.

### "Best In Class"

June 13, 2022

4.0

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.

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.

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.

### "A very capable DAW"

November 29, 2022

5.0

Has been my favorite DAW for almost 5 years. The community is very vibrant and resourceful.

Pros

The transient processor has been one of my most used feature in FL Studio for years. It allows to edit beats by being able to separate both the attack and the release section of a beat sample a create a custom sound. It has very easy to use interface with visual aspects and adjusting the split frequency control in the transient processor helps to clean up the low ends of my bass drums. I use Transient processor hand in hand with Fl Studio Newtone which works similarly like Melodyne. The pitch correction ability in Newtone is very capable for both correcting pitch for all notes or just individual notes. Individual notes’ pitch can be adjusted to the selected/desired note on the Piano roll and it snaps automatically to that pitch.

Cons

FL Studio is a very versatile DAW with a lot of potential for any skill level. It can be a bit overwhelming with many features but once one is willing to put in time and learn and understand each of the available features, it is offers a wealth of pleasure and creative possibilities unimagined. There are various variants of FL Studio such Producer or All plugins editions and being able to pick the right one can be challenging for a new user but the community is huge and willing to guide.

### "Fl Studio review"

April 7, 2022

5.0

I've been using FL studio for years now, i've also tried various other programs before FL, and in all honesty FL Studio has, is and will be the best. I really love the software and would recommend anyone to not look else where and just buy FL. It has made music making very easy, simple and enjoyable. The whole program works seamlessly and everything is right where its needed without having to navigate around too much.

Pros

1) The software already comes with pre-installed plugins 2) There is a variety of different other plugins to choose from. 3) The software is extremely flexible, meaning you can go from beginner to expert in the shortest time possible. 4) Beginners don't need to struggle because there is an abundance of tutorials on how to use the product. 5) The program has the functionality to connect a microphone and record your very own music in the comfort of you own home. 6) The program also comes with a sticky note type feature that allows you to either have a script or lyrics within the program without the need to write down anything on paper. 7) FL Studio is by far the leader in the music software industry, it has a stable community that makes it easier for beginners to get accustomed to the program.

Cons

1) The program is difficult to understand the first time if a new user doesn't have access to tutorials. 2) The program doesn't allow projects done on a higher version to be done on an older version. 3) Sometimes the program take too much CPU power and results in the program lagging.

### "FLStudio, le logiciel de musique PRO accessible à tous !"

October 7, 2022

5.0

Avec FLStudio, j'ai pu réaliser des compos Electro comme des Chansons (voir mon soundcloud - aurélien Dodémont) alors que je suis loin d'être pro. Stromae s'en est servi pour réaliser certains de ces sons, c'est donc un logiciel autant PRO que AMATEUR : tout le monde y trouve son compte !

Pros

Le logiciel est compatible avec la majorité des VSTi disponibles sur le marché. Quelques VSTi de base sont fournis avec, qui peuvent servir de boite à outils et d'assez bonne qualité. Le rendu se réalise très rapidement, et la vue globale de la playlist est claire. Enfin, la majeur partie des commandes (volume, panning, etc...) est pilotable par équipeent midi, ce qui rends les réglages particulièrement facile et agréable.

Cons

Ma première prise en main a été compliquée... Venant à l'époque de système de type "Tracker", la structure des patterns était différents. Mais finallement, avec le temps j'ai compris à quel point ce format était pus flexible. Mais il m'a fallu un peu de temps. De plus les VSTi fourni sont puissant mais j'ai eu du mal à les prendre en main pour concevoir des son originaux.

5.0

overall experience i would say that the software helped me a lot when i was a beginner and I'm still working on it, you can learn the basics in two days and everything is going to be easy and i wish you good luck on your career.

Pros

I'm using this software for a very long time, I have a full studio set up and i use this program most of my time. Fl Studio is really common software and it's going to help you so much to produce your own songs, I'm not gonna say its easy software, but everything is going to be easy with time, and by practicing...that doesn't mean its hard, but you just need to learn the basics and the interface.. the software gives you free plugins to start with whiches making it loved by people, it is easy to learn and quick, and its no going to take a lot of your device resources. and here are the best things that i liked about it: ● easy to learn. ● awesome interface design. ● Compatible and Flexible. ● 500 playlist track to mix . ● supporting different systems. ● Multiple arrangements. I'm not gonna finish if i want to tell you everything, to be honest, the software has so many good things, you can really enjoy it, I hope I'm not wrong, and of course, that's my experience and i wish you good luck.

Cons

the thing that i didn't like, sometimes you are working on long process , trying to make a beat or a project, The software crash or fail and everything is gone if you didn't save, not all the time of course..but you need to give attention and every time save your things.

### "Quickly becoming the industry standard "

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.

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.

### "Use Fl studio for better quality "

I love FL studio, this is my Go to Tool for creating Amazing music

Pros

the things I love most about FL studio are that, FL is a true example of a creation tool, and there is literally no limit to what kind of sounds you can create on FL studio, everything is so neatly organized and the design is slick and futuristic. The tools are so easy to use and for literally any sound you want to create there is a tool for that, you just need to be creative. There is no limit

Cons

Projects should be made accessible from all versions of FL, Sometimes I would like to complete a Project I started say FL 21 on FL 20
