"The best sequencer I've ever used - at the best price!"

Feature:
An amazing amount of plug-ins and quality effects come with this software. Also, VST support allows you to further expand your sound capabilities. This app has the best Piano roll and sequencer I have ever found. It also offers ReWire support so you can use Reason with it (together the two are unbeatable!). The mixer is great as well. Oh and automation! With version 5, you can draw automation splines that you can see while you're working! Also offers time-stretching and resampling using the Elastique engine!!! So many features, so little time to write about them all.

Quality:
GREAT PRODUCT. Rock solid. NEVER crashes on my system (and we all know that music software crashes often).

Value:
With Reason charging aroun $400 for their software, I can't believe FL is so cheap. But don't let the price fool you. Reason is a mere toy when compared. Although I do like using Reason's instruments through ReWire, that's just another benefit of FL.

Desirability:
This app is the sexiest sequencer out there. It simply looks great when compared to the boring 'standard' windows interfaces of other sequencers. The dark interface is easy on the eyes, making it possible to work for longer periods of time without eye-strain.

Sound:
Sound quality is great. Allows for up to 32bit output but I always use 16 and it sounds great.

Support:
When you buy FL Studio, you get access to their user forums. The community is great but that's not the best part. The best part is having direct access to the developers and marketing people right there on the forum. Amazing!

Overall:
This is the best sequencer available in my opinion. It has almost everything a digital musician could want. And it's always improving.

About This Product!
Description
FL Studio is a full-featured sequencer perfectly suited for creation of complex songs and realistic drum loops, with 32 bit internal mixing and advanced MIDI support. The resulting song or loop can be exported to a WAV/MP3 file and all MIDI events can be exported to a standard MIDI file.

FL Studio (Producer Edition) has a built-in Wave Editor that allows you to perform basic wave editing and recording new wave files. You can fade, normalize, reverse, invert, trim... or add loop points to any wav file you load or record yourself.

FL Studio is a pattern based sequencer, which means you create your songs in pieces (patterns) using the Step Sequencer and the Piano Roll view and then weld those pieces together using the Playlist window (the Playlist also supports full-featured audio tracks with hardrrive streaming). Then you can add a wide range of effects to your instruments (reverb, phaser, flanger etc.) and route the resulting mixer tracks in any way you like to create complex mixing chains with ease.

Features:

Internal 32 bit floating point mixing, up to 96kHz stereo.

Supports DirectSound and ASIO enabled sound cards for audio output.

Ability to function as a VSTi, DXi and a ReWire client.

Ability to host ReWire clients itself.

Realtime linear interpolation & sophisticated interpolation algorithms at rendering time.

Open architecture allowing third-party instruments (enhanced proprietary FL instruments standard, VSTi and DXi2) and effects (enhanced proprietary FL effects standard, VST, VST2 and DirectX).

A full set of high-precision mastering and special effects filters: reverb, compressor, procedural equalizer, distortion, phaser, flanger, bass boost, delay line and other.

Advanced sequencing methods allowing quick entering of realistic drum loops (step sequencing grid) and composing complex instrumentals (advanced piano roll, arpeggiator, keyboard tracking, real-time gate).

Unique note properties morphing ability (pitch, cutoff, resonance, panning).

Advanced mixer: 68 mixer tracks (64 insert and 4 send tracks) supporting up to 8 filters each; mixer tracks rerouting for creating of complex mixer chains; track recording with ASIO input support (for recording MIDI, vocals etc.); integrated procedural equalizer, volume and panning for each mixer track.
