What FL Studio Is For
FL Studio is designed for modern music production: creating beats and loops, arranging full tracks, recording vocals/instruments, sound design, and post-production. It suits both home studio producers and sound engineers seeking professional mixing and mastering.
Main Features
Fast and Creative Workflow
Combine patterns and linear tracks to instantly switch from loop ideas to a structured song. The Step Sequencer (4 to 64 steps) and Piano Roll offer ultra-precise rhythmic and melodic programming.
Advanced Audio Recording and Editing
Record directly to disk and speed up your renders with offline bounce. The integrated Edison editor covers cutting, cleaning, time-stretching, and more, while Newtone corrects pitch and timing in monophonic material.
Instruments, Effects, and Sound Design
Access a wide selection of instruments and tools/generators, quality effect processors, and production-ready samples. The mixer allows stacking up to 10 effects per channel for sophisticated processing chains.
Automation and Integration
Finely automate all parameters for dynamic transitions. FL Studio runs as a standalone application or as a VSTi plugin, and integrates with ASIO drivers and ReWire for optimal studio compatibility.
