"#1 DAW for beatmaking"
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

The software is user-friendly and easy to navigate around. The introduction layout when first opening FL Studio gives basic information on how to start making beats. The new update 20.5 is even better when Image-line updates the software for vocal recording making the DAW a one-stop-shop for most musicians worldwide, I personally use Fl Studio for over 3 years. and have not decided to change for any other.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

The only thing I dislike about FL studio is the theme they have had for over 5 years now and most beatmaker is not happy about that. The volume of negative requests about the theme has risen so high I think Image-line has received that feedback before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Yet Powerful Music Making Software"
3.5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

FL is an amazing piece of software for making music, the workflow of this soft is just so intuitive and fast that you can literally make a beat in just 10 minutes. Channel rack is one of the favourites of beatmakers. The Vector-based GUI of this software is so beautifully designed that you will never get bored of it. The Piano roll in fl is by far the best among all other digital audio workstations, you can make melodies with ease, it has a bunch of tools like chop, legato, arps, etc. the possibilities are just endless with this amazing software and the best part is that it just loads up in seconds.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

The routing in fl is not that great. Also, the audio recording and manipulation are somehow not that great in the fl studio. Also, the UI sometimes feels cluttered because of the detachable windows. For more significant projects, it can be chunky. Apart from these, it's a magical software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best DAW to Make Music"
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

I have been using FL Studio for more than three years, and it's just great. I didn't see anything I wanted to make and didn't. From soft music to party music and hard-hitting remixes, everything is possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

It comes with a single dark user interface. No themes or skin go with it. There are many options to customize the background and colors for almost every block, but I am still not getting the whole white user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I have used fl studio for more than 10 years now."
4.5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

The community of help that has been made. 2nd the Patcher and its capabilities are fantastic! it looks so much cleaner, easier to visualize what ur doing, from a first time looking at the software I’d say fl studio wouldn’t be hard to adjust to. I still have trouble trying to work abelton. I have a launch pad trying to figure out how to work it and make songs but cannot do it, it’s too complex. So good thing you can use a launchpad as a midi with fl studio and especially good with the fl 20 update. First of all, its user friendly capabilities… is one which draws attention for a many new users. When i first began using it back in 2011 in college i was able to learn the basics like the browser, the sequencer which is now rack, mixer channel and the top interface that has master volume, pitch knob the meter,Playlist button Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

The recording process is clunky and the setting up and managing of busses should be more efficient. I like everything except working in patterns. I'm just too used to laying out the tracks individually and I don't see the advantage of being able to put any clip on any track except making you lose track of things occasionally because it's disorganized AF. Any application that forces you to micromanage your own organization is doing something wrong. Some people like it, though, but I hope they get rid of it eventually. It would make recording actual tracks a whole lot easier, which is my main reason for continually going back to Studio One for any real recording and mastering.

"FL studio helped me get into a world of electronic music production."
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

FL Studio's sequencer and piano roll are two best tools that I used in FL Studio.

FL Studio has a great timeline interface and it's easy to arrange your music using blocks that are available in the software. File management is very good for somebody who is a beginner. The price of this software is also very beginner friendly, meaning you don't have to waste a lot of money if you just want to get started. Default sampler that is used for every loaded sample is loaded with options, you can do a lot of things (fade in, fade out, loop, change pitch etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

FL Studio has a weird way of sidechaining and kind of confusing routing if you want to use return tracks for reverbs etc. or for parallel processing. You'll have to click through a lot of knobs and buttons to get this few simple procedures that are used everyday in music-making. Factory EQ, compressor, reverb, delay etc. are not very good, but are pretty usable for something basic. I think they could do much better job at modeling their dynamics plugins.

"Great music production software with multiple custom plugins"
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

Great range of inbuild samples and plugins, has good MIDI support. I make EDM so it definitely helps with organizing my sounds and arranging my composition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

It definitely has a learning curve. Access to the wide variety of plugins may be difficult to find in the beginning. Some ergonomic features aren't so intuitive and it definitely needs more support and tutorials on its shortcuts etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mobile Creative Studio"
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

FL Studio has had a very distinct drum sequencer since it's inception, and I couldn't enjoy it more. I use both PC and Mobile versions, and am happy to say that they integrate with each other. While the mobile version has less functionality than the PC version, is enables be to create soundscapes on airplane trips and bus rides. This is more than enough to get an idea established, then transfer to the PC version for more editing and mixing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

While I haven't had a problem with the PC version crashing, the Mobile version will definitely bomb when doing certain edits. Always save often! When I move or delete a large group of notes, and hit the "undo" button, the program is almost guaranteed to crash, losing whatever you worked on since the last save.

"My go-to DAW for music composition and production"
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

Its straightforward tools to create ideas. Since 2004 it has been my favorite daw to compose. The pattern probably is my favorite asset. It allows me to create rhythms as fast as nothing else. It's easy solutions, together with the playlist, enables to focus more in the creating than staying on technicalities, which is way is my go-to for production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

The mixer is what I am still not 100% into, knowing other softwares' in comparison. Sometimes I find it slowing me down in the process of attaching each element of my production to its individual channel. I never been a fan of the bus and sends management. I think it could have been simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use DAW"
5/5
What do you like best about FL Studio?

The best thing I like about FL is its ease of use and its snappiness. All Native plugins that come with it are good enough to do professional-level work. Free lifetime update is an added benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FL Studio?

I almost like everything about fl when it comes to production but when it comes to Live shows and live Events a lot can be improved, Ableton live is miles ahead when it comes to Live performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
