    "Good DAW, but not the best"

    Posted 2022-08-01

    Pros: - nicely designed UI
    - very easy learning curve
    - performant, doesn't use too many system resources
    - MIDI, VST support and custom audio routing
    - many great built in instruments

    Cons: - cost is pretty high compared to competitors like Reaper

    Overall: While FL Studio provides a good set of features for a DAW in a nice UI, it doesn't beat the value proposition of competitors like Reaper.

    Cons: There are no downside of FL STUDIO but when i use FL STUDIO for the 1st time the interface is too confusing because there are a lot of features in FL STUDIO, it took me a week to understand the whole interface.

    Overall: Overall FL STUDIO is great and a worthy music production software available with lot of features and endless plugins.
