What is FL Studio?

FL Studio is a full-featured music production environment capable of multi-track audio recording, sequencing and mixing for the creation of professional quality songs and realistic drum loops. With VST/DX hosting, 32 bit internal mixing and advanced MIDI support no project is too difficult. Songs or loops can be exported to a WAV, MP3 or MIDI.

Main Features:

   * High quality audio engine, for professional sound quality.
   * Sophisticated interpolation algorithms (hermite, sinc) during realtime playback & during rendering.
   * Supports DirectSound and ASIO enabled sound cards for audio output and ASIO audio recording.	

   * Open architecture allowing third-party instruments (enhanced proprietary FL instruments standard, VSTi , DXi2 & Buzz ) and effects (enhanced proprietary FL effects standard, VST, VST2, DirectX & Buzz).
   * Ability to function as a VSTi, DXi and a ReWire client.
   * Ability to host ReWire clients itself.

   * 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).

   * Live multi-track recording of audio, control movements & integrated automation events editor.
   * Multi-segment automation clips with unlimited complexity and integrated LFO unit.
   * Procedural control over parameters by using special controller plugins.

   * Advanced mixer: 68 mixer tracks (64 insert and 4 send tracks) supporting up to 8 plugin FX per track;
   * Send any mixer track to any other track and create complex mixer chains of virtually unlimited complexity;
   * Track recording with ASIO input support (for recording MIDI, vocals etc.);
   * Integrated parametric equalizer, volume and panning for each mixer track.

   * Many high-quality integrated instruments: WaveTraveller (wave bend synth), Sampler, TS404 (the popular bassline engine), 3xOSC (subsynth), Plucked! (plucked strings), MIDI Out, DX10 (FM synth), Scratcher (turntable emulator), Wasp (demo), SimSynth Live (demo), and more.
   * A full set of high-precision mastering and special effects filters: 2 reverbs, 2 compressors, parametric equalizer, graphic equalizer, distortion, phaser, flanger, bass boost, delay line and more.

   * Advanced playlist & full-featured audio tracks.
   * Click removal & volume ramping to avoid pops.
   * Imports *.WAV, *.MP3, *.REX, *.SYN (SimSynth 1 & 2), *.DS (DrumSynth) etc. as sample formats.
   * Exports audio to 16Bit or 32Bit *.WAV file, *.MP3.

   * MIDI remote controlling of most parameters (VST plugins also supported).
   * Import MIDI sequences and controller events.
   * Export MIDI notes & controller events to a standard MIDI file.
