Do you want to find out more about FL Studio software?
If you are looking for a program to make music, then I have a suitable recommendation for you.
This software offers you four different versions. Each of them contains a different number of functionalities.
What is FL Studio software and what is it used for?
FL Studio is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) produced by the Belgian company Image-Line.
Through this software, you can compose music and edit audio content.
First of all, I recommend that you download the FL Studio program for free directly from the Image-Line website.
Afterwards, if you like to create music with this software, I recommend the first version for 99 €.
If you decide that a certain version is not enough for you and you need access to more features, then you can upgrade to any better tier by just paying the difference. You can also buy each plugin individually if you don’t need the full upgrade.
Let’s see what the 4 versions of this DAW contain:
1. FL Studio Fruity Edition – 99 € Features:
• Limited playlist features
• No audio clips
• No audio recording
The Fruity Edition is limited and can only be used for testing. First of all, you don’t have audio clips, and you can’t record audio.
2. FL Studio Producer Edition – 199 € Features:
Audio recording Full playlist features 6 additional native plugins:
If you really want to test FL Studio, then this version is for you.
The Producer Edition only contains 6 plugins, but it is enough to make an entire music project.
You have access to the audio recording function, and in addition, you can use all the options in the playlist.
3. FL Studio Signature Bundle – 299 € Features:
Audio recording Full playlist features 13 additional native plugins
If you want to truly enjoy FL Studio, choose the Signature Bundle.
4. FL Studio All Plugins Edition – 499 € Features:

The All Plugins Edition is the complete version.
• Lifetime updates

This means that when you purchase any version of FL Studio software, you will receive every update for free for life.
