### "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

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.

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.

### "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.

### "Is, FL Studio useful?"

July 13, 2023

4.0

It has been great, Fl studio is a place where you can set free your imagination and create music without losing time just setting up everything before even launch the program. If you have an idea how audio processing works, FL Studio is very intuitive, but for new users it may be a headache at the beginning. I've been using this program since the 11 version, I've seen how much it has changed and improved for good, now I can say its one of the best options you can use as a music artist.

Pros

\- Graphic and dynamic workflow: Sometimes is hard figure it out "where that track is going?", "why this FX is not working?" I think Fl studio makes it feel easy, you can see how's everything working in your mixing process. Really helpful, even for experienced people.- Dual Monitor "Compatibility": It can sound weird, but it's a lot easier use any dual monitor setup than just a large screen. Fl Studio allows you to "detach" the mixing console, the sequencer, anything, and put it on your "favorite" monitor. I used other daws, and its really annoying the fact to reorganize everything each time you start the program, FL do a great job in this way.

Cons

STEMS exporting: Fl studio allows you to export in so many different ways, but the thing here is that theres no a option to export "raw stems" (no fx) without manually turning off all the fx buttons of your tracks. You can export every track individually on the export menu, but they will be taken from your mixing console, so if you want to export them you will have to set up everything on the sequencer. For me, it has been a feature with no so much attention on it.Live performace is kind of hard to understand: I will not compare FL Studio with other DAWS, but the way how you got to set up everything for a live performance gives me a headache. The loop feature is practicly imposible to use with any latency with real instruments (no vts, no midi), there's no way to automate a "hands free" looping session. Probably I haven's used it a lot, but its for the reason that I really want an easier way of looping and improvising.

### "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!

### "My Number One DAW Software"

July 29, 2021

5.0

Fl Studio has made my musical journey interesting and simple, it has got so many features and tools that you can use to explore your creativity in sound design with endless possibilities in what you can do, I use it to record vocals, instruments, and also design sound effects. I have never been this satisfied. It's the best DAW of all time. It helps me work faster and organize my projects so that I can easily navigate the program and allows me to customize my projects with color and icons so that I can visually see different parts of my projects with ease and without stressing.

Pros

FL Studio is my favorite DAW, I love the interface, and It's so easy to use. I have used FL for a decade now I don't think I will ever change to another. I have tried so many similar programs only Fl Studio stood out to be faster and more comfortable to work with. It supports countless third-party plugins that you download from other vendors which you can easily install and use in no time. FL Studio is easily integrated with other software and you can also use a mobile version that is available in popular app stores. It is very popular in many studio setups, it can be easily installed and comes with a bunch of stock plugins that can be used immediately after installation without having to download extra ones. Its supports many hardware devices such as mics, sound interfaces, midi controllers, input and output devices in a plug and play style.

Cons

It's not free but you can download a trial version which has limitations. If you are just starting out I recommend you start with a trial version. It took time for me to learn how to use it effectively, as a beginner I had to learn from experienced users because at that time I had no access to the internet and youtube as we do now. Learning how it works will help in getting the most out of this program.

### "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.

### "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.

### "FL Studio practico, facil y divertido"

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.

### "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.

### "Powerful DAW"

September 11, 2021

5.0

I have been using FL Studio since 8 years and by far it has been the best choice when producing beats or recording vocals.

Pros

\- Channel Rack: The channel rack is basically a drum sequencer that is very easy to use. You can program drum loops by a couple of mouse clicks. - Playlist: The playlist view offers great functionality when editing audio clips as you can slice, duplicate and rearrange them according to your preference. - Piano Roll: Comparing the piano roll in FL Studio with others DAWs it definitely the best out there. The main features in the piano roll is writing music pieces in an extremely powerful way where you can resize, chop, pitch and pan the note directly from the piano roll. - Mixer: 100 mixer channels with 9 effects in each channel makes the mixing process extremely smooth. The mixer has many features that come in handy when working on complicated projects. For example, you can change the color and the size of the channels according to a certain theme or preference.

Cons

\- Automation: Working on automation clips is very frustrating unlike other audio programs as the functionality is very weak and primitive. - Parallel Compression: If in at any circumstance you wanted to do parallel compression you need to make a mess by routing the mixer channel to a several channels and combine them again which puts a high load on the CPU - Deleting audio files from the software doesn't delete them from your PC so you need to manually delete them from the file explorer.

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.

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

### "Fl studio: The versatile music production software for every skill level"

March 29, 2023

5.0

I have been able to create entertaining and refreshing music with fl studio. I have also used it to create audio tracks and sound effects for youtube videos. It has enabled me to create my phone ringing tone to express my uniqueness. I have also been able to record and add effects to audio advertisements for radios and televisions

Pros

Its ability to support wide range of third-party plugins including virtual instruments and effects is amazing for me because it makes my sound designing and production to be fun. Moreover its pattern-based sequencing is notable. This feature allows me to create and arrange patterns easily. Its ability to record midi and audio is also powerful. I also love the mixture track routing and grouping because it helps me manage and mix large projects.

Cons

The interface was abit challenging to navigate when I first started using it. Fl studio also has compatibility issues with some plugins and software which is a times frustrating for example apple audio units
