- All though it lacks some of its FL studios features? (i.e attachable and detachable panels) it does support VST plugins and the interface is very easy to use once you get used it, all in all, it's a great DAW, anyone who says it's bad ethier has bias or not enough experience with the program Guest • May 2017 • 28 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Although quite different and not as convenient like FL Studio, it's still probably the best thing we're gonna get for free. VenHayz • Nov 2016 • 28 agrees and 9 disagrees
- It's probably the best free DAW I've ever come across. It is so capable. When I got used to it, I was astonished about how much I could achieve with it. I couldn't stop telling my producer friends about it. They all use REASON and CUBASE and obviously they don't take me seriously because I never did a music production course and they have; so telling them about this good DAW means nothing to them. I love it nonetheless. Guest • Sep 2018 • 9 agrees and 1 disagrees

- It is not as easy-to-learn as Fl studio, bad interface, poor plugins, Really needs improvement. n4palm • May 2017 • 4 agrees and 16 disagrees

Fl Studio Is Real Nice!
Its A Bit Pricey Though. For The Full Version it costs about over 200 dollars.
and dont tell me im wrong. there are cheaper versions which are stripped away with alot of features such as express version and fruity version. with the price. it might be better to find a more user friendly and more wallet friendly music maker like mixcraft

I used FL Studio demo version for like 3 months between getting the full version. It lets you export songs but you can only keep one project open at a time and you can’t reopen projects unless you have the full version of FL. Here HP service provides the service related to it. SO you can contact Hp Customer Support

It is a really nice program, it can do a lot. I have a friend of mine who makes Rap music, and when they make beats they use this program. They can make a lot of beats quickly in a day or so.
