"The best sequencer I've ever used - at the best price!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
This is the best sequencer available in my opinion. It has almost everything a digital musician could want. And it's always improving.
Sound
Sound quality is great. Allows for up to 32bit output but I always use 16 and it sounds great.
Features
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.
Manufacturer 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!
The Wow Factor
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.

"Amazing value for they money, but with a steep learning curve."
I keep it around but I'm often tempted to use other things first because they are easier to understand and use.
Sound
Excellent selection of built in sound generators. Fruity loops gives you plenty of great sounds for a very low price.
Features
Many very useful features built in.
Quality
Very reliable. Haven't had any stability problems. Interesting interface.
Value
Amazing value for the money. Comes with many powerful effects and sound generators right out of the box. Definitely the best value in computer music software I've seen. Nothing else provides as many quality sounds and effects for the money.
Manufacturer Support
Website is difficult to understand, as is the registration system.
The Wow Factor
Definitely has a very cool presentation.
