It's the Key to My Creativity

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.

Recording: It’s not the best for recording and editing audio compared to some other software.
Pros
One of the standout features of FL Studio is its intuitive and visually appealing interface. The software is user-friendly, making it easier for both beginners and experienced producers to use and create music efficiently. 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.

An utter delusion. Don’t lose your time with this.
Pros
I didn’t like anything really. It’s just so complicated you can’t do a thing on this thing and there are no good tutorials
Cons
You basically have to do a course or a degree to learn just what the buttons are for. Uselessly complicated.

#1 loop mixing software
Reviewed on 17/07/2024
Good, but at certain times frustrating yet rewarding.
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.
