What Is FL Studio?
FL Studio — formerly known as Fruity Loops — is a full-featured DAW and music production environment for Mac and PC. FL Studio's powerful editing tools and onboard virtual instruments, which range from soft synths to orchestral brass, make it a favorite among beatmakers to bandleaders. Just add a keyboard controller, and you're primed to plumb the depths of EDM, future bass, and trap using FL Studio's intuitive tracking interface. All the while, full support for VST2 and VST3 plug-ins makes FL Studio as robust as you need it.
Where FL Studio really has the edge over other DAWs are its flexible beat-production tools. FL Studio makes it quick and easy to Beat-slice, Time-stretch, sample, chop, and edit audio to heart's content. It also makes a streamlined springboard for fleshing out song ideas.
