Its interface is sleek and, at a first glance, quite simplistic. Huge colorful interfaces that often confuse a user will not find a home in FL. It’s intuitive and user-friendly interface simply begs to be played with. FL Studio is one of few (if any) programs that let you create music within minutes upon installation.
Most modern DAWs have quite a sharp learning curve, which to most musicians and music enthusiasts, presents a great deal of trouble. However, although it does not lag behind the main advantage of FL Studio does not lie in technical specifications its advantage lies within its simplicity.
It appears that the only thing fruity about Fruity is its name. The recently published 7th version saw a couple more improvements like mono recording (R or L), new pitch-shifting and time-stretching algorithms, 64 track simultaneous recording and more. 64bit processing, 32bit floating point rendering (0.24 and 16.8), sampling capabilities way ahead of the mainstream competition, great MIDI support, a number of native plug-ins, piano-roll that threatens to become a standard, Rewire support, plug-in version of the program, and many more advantages – put FL Studio right in the big leagues.
Once a simple program, bearing more resemblance to minesweeper than a serious application, FL Studio has grown into one of the main players in the industry. Few months ago Image-Line has come out with version 7 of their DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and it looks better than ever. However, not everything is as black as it seems – this time it’s gray and comes by the name Image-Line FL Studio 7 (formerly known as Fruity Loops). Especially, knowing that for years, money has been spent to educate people in using these programs efficiently. Today, when professional studios almost single-handedly support the dominion of a few mainstream programs used in “real” and professional studios, it is hard to get an honest answer. What program should I use to record and mix music? I mean, I am not some genius musician nor am I a keen programmer, I just want to…….errr…….you know, make music.
