FL Studio All Plugins Edition

Let me mention the complaints in comparison to other daws that I see and why they don't bother me:

1. FL doesn't play notes directly from the instrument track in the playlist like all the other DAWs.
   
   This is because if you need to add more notes from other instruments into a singular pattern, you can.
2. The step sequencer is "too rigid".
   
   Every step sequencer I've seem is very rigid and simple.
   
   Use the legendary piano roll if you still have a problem, you can go stupid with that beast.
   
   Regardless, I still heavily rely on the step sequencer for my drum samples -I love it, it's quick and easy. (This is really biased though cause I mainly make music with 4-on-the-floor beats).
3. It doesn't look professional/looks too kid like.
   
   Personally, even before the theme update was introduced, I do not think so at all. You show any simpleton any track mixer and their brains implode.
   
   Set aside from looks, the technicality and complexity goes WAY further than most, if not THE most with the introduction of patcher and its accommodating mods in recent updates.

Personally, I do not have any qualms against FL Studio nor the community it fosters. So, now I will mention what I love about it and why:

1. Perpetual license with lifetime updates. Not to mention the archived older versions of FL available.
   
   You own it forever, and get free current updates always. YOU WILL FOREVER OWN WHAT YOU BOUGHT. Hate the new update? ROLL-BACK! Get and stay in your zone! This is an anti-"Forced Arbitration" product and I'm all here for it.
   
   
2. Legendary piano roll with scale selection.
   
   Image-line made it easy for people who know little to nothing about music theory to be able to write some sick chords and melodies like myself. This is my biggest praise about the piano roll, but there are far too many great things to mention here about it.
3. Incredible stock plugins!
   
   Here are the EPIC plugins that I feel have changed the music production industry simply because FL Studio exists:
   • Slicex.
   • Harmor.
   • Morphine.
   • Sakura.
   • Sytrus.
   • Patcher.
   • Maximus.
   • Edison.
   • Fruity WaveShaper.
   • Vocodex.
   • ZGameEditor.
   • Fruity Dance.
4. You can buy it on amazon!
   
   I used my birthday money on amazon to get Fruity Edition. No other DAW is available on amazon, which makes sense due to soft and hard subscription models that basically all other DAWs have.

Everything that I mentioned liking about FL above is the reason I chose FL AFTER trialing Ableton, Bitwig, Reaper, and many others.

FL Studio is a tremendous piece of software to musically create any song in any genre imaginable. Those who lock it down to one musical style don't know what they are talking about. The interface is flawless, fast, lightning fast, intuitive and modern. One of the best on the market, above Pro-Tools, which is an old and boring dinosaur. Creating a good sounding track, cutting it and editing it is so easy in FL Studio! The editing and sound modules, compressors, limiters, etc. are excellent! When you first open FL studio it takes about 3 seconds, Mixcraft 9 takes three times as long, Studio One takes almost 30 seconds or more. There are many who say that a DAW has no sound of its own, but the FL Studio console lives when you add editors, compressors, etc., the sound shoots up to an incredible quality. In Mixcraft for comparison, it sounds flat and muffled, the same as in Studio One or Bitwig. In FL Studio the sound is fat, creamy and dense, modern and elegant at the same time, making the producers ears can have a close vision of what the final master will sound like. What I don't like about FL studio is that sometimes the mouse click behaves unpredictably, the synths you assign are not automatically associated to a channel and that's a bit confusing. Some of the built-in synthesizers are mediocre sounding and unintuitive, not all of them...Directwave sounds like Kontakt the same, Sytrus sounds incredibly clean and analog at the same time, it's like having a Korg Chrome inside FL Studio. FLEX is great for pads and atmospheric sounds. The Patcher where you can mix anything you can think of responds like a tool out of this world! The piano-roll that works here works wonders and there is no current DAW that can come close in its performance and versatility, a marvel for composing well and fast. If you don't use any DAW yet and you are thinking about one, don't hesitate with FL Studio, it's a dream DAW, it's perfect? NO, but it will make you smile in every song you compose, produce and listen to with it.

I use this Daw from the version fl loops 4, .

I like this Daw, are interface is not frozen, these keyboard shortcuts, these synths particularly Harmor.

and Patcher to mix the VST is super powerful.
I also like the Fruity peak controller and the envelope controller to control our virtual instrument and effect
we have everything with this software, we can even make videos with ZgameEditor it's perfect.

I use FL Studio 12 to make all of my music. It has so many great plugins and sounds and lots of lovely effects and features that I feel like anyone would like.

Instruments: 100/100:

Sytrus is one of my favorite softsynths for synth sounds. It is good because it can do anything ranging from subtractive, to FM, to additive. Minisynth and GMS are good subtractive synths, as is SimSynth. DX10 is good for randomizing patches because you can get amazing results.

DAW features: 100/100.

It is full of features that many people would like.

I think FL is very flexible, it has tons of piano roll stuff like quantization.

Quality: 100/100.

I love the quality of this DAW. It has tons of nice features. I am able to use Synth1, Dexed, Korg Legacy, and others seamlessly.

In my test, I was able to get standard sounds using FL Studio. The synths you get are fantastic. While they do not have many presets, you can always learn them inside-out by simply reading the user's manual. That, and the user's manual also contains many tips for getting a commercial quality music. The stock effect plugins are excellent as well.
