1. Its support for Mac OS
2. Feature to use multiple arrangements in multiple tracks
3.You can easily change the time signature
4.It allows you to consolidate multiple tracks just in a single click
5. You can hide grouped tracks to get a clean and clutter-free interface
6. Number of mixer tracks have been increased for powerful mixing
7. Plugin delay compensation feature
8. Recording tracks can be auto grouped
9. VFX Level Scaler
10. Sample offset and in app purchases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In FL Studio, the only thing that I dislike is that it is complicated to use for beginners. There are too many options, and it lacks the free-form drag and drops for audio clips, which makes it a little challenging to use. I have used Acoustica Mixcraft as well, and that is the most accessible software for beginners, but apart from being complicated, there are no drawbacks of FL Studio. Also, it uses many system resources, so this can also be considered a minor drawback of FL Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a unique and friendly interface so, as much as the ease and multiple options you have while working, it visual appealing layout make it accessible for beginners while offering depth for Advanced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Despite its user friendly, i sometimes find its audio editing capabilities less intuitive or robust compare to other DAWs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides work, I also do beat-making for the side hustle. In 2015 I started using Fruity Loop Studio ( version 12 edition up to version 20 today) and my experience with this software has been very impactful.
I started as a complete beginner and was kind of scared by how complex the user interface was -however, as time evolved I finally realized that It wasn't as hard or complex as I thought.
Fruity Loop Studio offers some of the best instrumental music production solutions. It's easy to use and empowers creativity workflow.
It is rich in drum packs, instrument generators, SFX sounds, and presets.
Some of the main features that I adore are:
- the playlist. It's very easy to work with and I get to assign different colors to each track (in the playlist) which helps to better organize my instruments to easily distinguish them. The playlist can hold quite a large number of tracks.
- The mixer: It's also another great future that I adore in Fl Studio. I get to send all the instruments from the channel rack into separate tracks in the mixer. The mixer gives me extra control over mixing and mastering of my beats.
-The plugins: Fl offers a ton of helpful plugins from Equalizers to reverbs, delays, compression, and more.
And one of the most amazing aspects of it is that I can create a limitless number of automation with every single plugin. This is amazing as it gives a modern feeling to my productions.
- Fl is also versatile. Apart from the built-in plugins and sample packs, I can also import and install third-party plugins.
Just with a scan, It automatically detects the newly installed plugins and I can add the to repository immediately.
The user interface is very flexible, responsive and supports drag & drop. I really recommend this software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Fl Studio is a great software, It takes a lot of disk space on my HDD and also uses a lot of memory. But I think that it's not a big deal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FL Studio remains one of the most accessible and fantastic software for instrumental productions. It has an attractive user interface and delivers a quality user experience.
The tool might seem confusing at first glance but with time it becomes a simple tool and believe me it's result-driven.
Both the demo and premium versions come with tons of sample packs (Guitars, keyboards, synths, drums, etc) with high-quality sample rates.
The user environment is highly adaptable compared to other traditional tools that I've used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only weird thing about FL Studio is that it's not multilingual. For a person who has been used to a language other than English, it will be challenging to learn and adapt to using FL Studio.
That's a minor and yet an important aspect the developers need to consider improving on.
Secondly, I think FL still lacks some advanced options for vocal editing. For example, the Newton plugin lacks advanced note editing options which are highly essential for vocal production and hence I don't think Fl is suitable for vocal production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Fl studio allows users to be in a creative space , it has lot features to pick from but well sorted and well categorized. It is not confusing to use and one can learn as they use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes when overloaded with plugins it crashes but this depends on the type of hardware one would be launching it from. It takes a bit more knowledge to produce high quality outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about FL Studio is its user-friendly interface. It's really easy to learn if you are starting in the music industry, and it's also very easy to add new VST plugins if you're interested in a trending one on the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I disliked about it is that sometimes it utilizes a lot of CPU and RAM, although it won't hinder you from producing really good music because there's an option to lower the animation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Music Production ia fun with this DAW. Searching sound become so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Should work more rewiring.I really can't rewire it with other DAW's. Truly a big issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FL Studio has a colorful, lively UI with a lot of assignable tracks and playlists that are readily accessible in the workspace. It has a separate space for mixing tracks, MIDI Mapping as well as layering which is very easy to use, and even easier to figure out if you want to experiment with things. It also has a default ASIO mode that helps to connect external MIDI and create music if you do not have an Audio Interface. There are a lot of internal plugins which help you to create music as well as Mix/Master tracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since it is a resource-intensive DAW, there is room for improvements as far as RAM Management is concerned compared to its competitors like Ableton, Logic Pro X, Presonus Studio One. There are certain buggy patches as far as bridging 3rd party VSTs are concerned, but the update and resolution frequency is less as there are a lot of VSTs coming in the market today that need compatibility for both Live as well as for Production.

beat making capabilities are the best in the business. Plugins are really good and comes with lots of standard ones. Other plugs work with it too. Editing is ok, but could be better work flow. Quality of sound is great. Is less expensive than others and comes with updates for life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would say the editing workflow is the worst thing about fl. It just doesn't have the same capabilities in workflow for editing that logic or protools has. But also is much cheaper so I like it. I've also had a few problems getting my waves plugs to keep working perfectly on it a couple of times when they have updated waves and/or fl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Without a doubt, one of the things I like most about FL Studio compared to other DAWs is its interface since it has simplicity and organization that makes work very fluid. In addition, native plugins are authentic gems that new users can count on tothe most advanced professionals.
One of the most essential features to consider is the free updates for life, which, together with the support that Image Line offers for this DAW, do nothing more than add points to opt for FL Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, there's almost nothing I don't like about FL Studio. Still, maybe I was expecting a more important graphic change in version 21 or more features related to audio manipulation in the playlist.
Perhaps I would have liked the release of their latest version to be somewhat more stable and polished, but as I said before, thanks to their support and the speed with which they work, all these problems are being solved as the days go by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The advantages of FL Studio are the immense options it provides, meaning there are hundreds of thousands of plugins compatible with FL that make the experience of working with FL as enriching and rewarding as possible. On the other hand, it is a very simple audio interface for producers and artists/singers. Lastly, the internet is full of video tutorials that will help you get the most out of FL Studio.

What I like least is their trial version that doesn't allow saving projects to continue working on them, they force you to pay for the license to be able to save projects as such. Although you can export audio without having to have the active license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
