FL Studio is a full-featured, open architecture, music production environment for audio recording, composing, sequencing and mixing, and the creation of professional quality music. FL Studio is designed for creative freedom. Which FL Studio Edition is right for me? Click here to let us help you. Our philosophy is that you should only pay for the features you use. FL Studio is a modular environment where you choose the program functions and additional instrument/effect plugins that you need. We do this by shipping FL Studio in three editions, each with more features and base plugin instruments/effects than the next. Then as an extension to these versions you can add in more instruments/effects and samples to suit your musical style or genre.
