Pros

Personally, I have found what I need to produce in this daw, it has good plugins, quality virtual instruments, and very good support for third-party plugins.
FL studio is one of the most popular daw out there, it seems expensive to some people n not expensive to some people, what I like most about it is that it's very easy to use.
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.

Pros

The software is great, as soon as you open it you can start recording yourself and save and add effects and exports your audio with ease.
Overall good experience easy to make beats with my own style quality sound very good i like music maker.
With Music Maker I like the drum sounds and some of the sound patches were awesome. It makes my music creating very much fun.

Cons

I had some problems wanting to use it within other sound editing programs where the export was not working correctly.
I felt FL studio had a difficult learning curve and didn't seem as intuitive as other DAWS that I have used, this could be because I have been conditioned not to work the FL way.
There are some troubles when you try to use some files from Adobe Flash with the same extension. I'd like to see another extension for FL studios files.

Cons

I have to use it, I'd feel cheated if I did use it after the hundreds of dollars I have spent on it.
To even make remotely decent music, mix packs have to be purchased. And the customer service is terrible.
This eats away your money and is frustrating to have to use.

Music and songs like in movies

Reviewed a year ago

It's a great software for music production, making songs and soundtracks, recording songs and music in general. It has many features and makes music editing easy. It's excellent for music production, mixing, and mastering.

Pros

It helps with improving and enhancing soundtracks and voiceovers. It can produce and record music and sounds. You also can use it in making and editing songs professionally. It has many instrument plugins, that enable playing many kinds of music like jazz, house, classic, or metal. You can cut soundtracks and combine different soundtracks together. You can also add filters to your soundtracks like autotune and reverb.

Cons

It's not so easy to learn. It has so many windows which are a bit confusing.

Best DAW for Beginners

Reviewed 9 months ago

Awesome. Elivated my music to the next level.

Pros

FL Studio is by far the best buy you can do as producer or artist as first step into professional recording. The unlimited licence concept is already enough to outshine most competitors, but there‘s more. FL is one of the most used DAWs in the world and thats why you have access to thousand of tutorials, templates, inspirations and even vsts online for free. So the learn process is quite smooth, which is also supported by the uncomplicated UI of the Software. I really like the fact, that you can dive into professional levels just by using this software only - even if good hardware could show you the real extent of FL Studio.

Cons

There are literaly none compared to other DAWs, but you should own a PC or Laptopt with good specs to run it efficient.

FL studio, my best DAW

Reviewed 4 months ago

Music production has been very easy using the FL studio. The stuck plugins are good enough to produce a good sound music if you can't afford the paid plugins.

Pros

It's very easy to start a new project and save project. All saved projects are located by the left side of the screen when you open FL studio. You can make beats and record your song when you want in the DAW. Do not turn off the fruity limiter on the master track. Everything has been set automatically to get the best sound from your sounds and music. It's very easy to use especially for new users.

Cons

The stuck plugin de-esser is not as good as the paid plugin de-esser. It's still ok to use for those artist that doesn't have the 's' siblings too much in their vocals. All you need to do, is load up fruity maximus and select the de-esser narrow band preset.

Awesome Music Production product with advanced functionalities and simple, easy to use interface

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience with FL Studio has been really positive and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to get into music production. It is an inexpensive, easy to learn and quality software to produce your music.

Pros

The thing I like the most about FL studio is the interface and the ease of music production on FL studio. There is a large library of inbuilt samples and plugins which are very helpful. Also, the quality of music is awesome. The price point is inexpensive and can be helpful to anybody to get into music creation. Learning curve is very easy and straightforward.

Cons

The thing I like the least about FL Studio is its handling of advanced features. Using advanced features is little bit hard and requires digging into learning resources. Also, the support is not very helpful most of the times.

A Very Simple FL Studio Review

Overall, I belive FL Studio is a great tool for building music from scratch with great quality.

Pros

Fl Studio is a great software to build music from scratch. I love it. It has great useful features to build an orchestra, or just one instrument, like, for instance, piano. With realistic sounding samples. I also use it for sound effects and it works very well.

Cons

The only thing I would like FL Studio to improve would be a bigger free library of instruments and sound effects, other than that, it is, in my opinion, a must have software for those who want to make music and/or sound effects.

Great option for different music production projects

Reviewed 9 months ago

I use it mostly for beat making and it always let me develop my music ideas.

Pros

With FL Studio there is no task from the idea to the final song that can't be done. From a couple of chords and the selection of an instrument to the mixing and mastering of the final piece. And all this process can be achieved with stock plugins, there is no need of wasting money in external software.

Cons

The learning curve can be a bit of a pain. The completeness of the program goes hand in hand with its complexity.

Produzioni musicali al volo con qualità audio ottime

Reviewed 18 days ago

Ottima esperienza con Musikmaker con il quale ho ottenuto piccole/grandi soddisfazioni. Consigliatissimo nelle piccole produzioni musicali.

Pros

Ad un costo contenuto è possibile ottenere prodotti audio di ottima qualità. La facilità nel montaggio delle tracce audio è veramente il punto forte. Ho utilizzato il prodotto fin dalla sua prima versione ed ancora, in certi casi, lo utilizzo per comporre velocemente basi musicali per spot video e pubblicità.

Cons

Non si possono chiedere funzioni avanzate come in software dedicati e professionali per la gestione di audio in studio di registrazione o produzioni di alto livello. Le funzioni semplificate (che sono il punto forte di questo software) diventano la sua debolezza quando si inizia a chiedere di più.
