Product Reviews by KVR Members

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.

Simply one of the best delay effects!.

YOU SHOULD GET IT.
