FL Studio is a user friendly digital audio workstation with a pleasing user interface, which makes you want to make music. The creators, Image-Line, are constantly updating FL Studio to make it better.
FL Studio is the all in one digital audio workstation with every audio tool for producers, as well as recording and mixing engineers. You can make musical arrangements by using audio samples and audio VST plugins, then create musical patterns in the step sequencer, and then arrange those patterns on the playlist to create a full length song. You can also capture audio if using an audio interface, which will allow you to record instruments directly through an audio cable or vocals through a microphone. Once you have your song complete, you can mix the song in the mixer, using effect VST plugins like compressors and equalisers to enhance the sound and make sure the different sounds don't clash.
Although FL Studio does have some built in VST plugins which cover the basics, there are better 3rd party plugins which you will need to purchase if you would like to unlock the full potential of FL studio.

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.
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.
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.

my experience is that it allowed me to be an expert manager
that's the ability to create beautiful melody beats
the least to like about this software is that it is difficult to learn and very heavy in terms of storage

I use this software everyday to produce beats for friends and for Spotify and it is the best software to make music for all genres!
Has many tools to create unique music and songs that could be sold online for profit! I am a musician that uses it and there are endless opportunities for what you can make. The software comes with pre-loaded plugins and allows for music creation with just a laptop or PC!
Has a steep learning curve and takes a lot of time to learn and to familiarize with.
