Encyclopedic overview
FL Studio (previously known both as FrootyLoops and FruityLoops) is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the Belgian company Image-Line. It features a graphical user interface with a pattern-based music sequencer.
This program is often used as a 'gamified' alternative to less accessible industry-standard DAWs such as Logic or Ableton. It is also seen as more cost-effective, and after the initial purchase, lifetime updates of the software are free to registered users.
