For all aspiring music makers, here is a view of FL Studio 12, a common music making software, which allows the user to create music efficiently.

Fruity Loops Studio is a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) created by image-line, a Belgian company. The software is useful for beat and music creation through a pattern-based music sequencer.

If you are looking to compose, arrange, record, edit, and mix music and beats, then this is one software that can make it efficient and enjoyable.  

Before you buy this music software, here is a compilation of information, customers reviews, and overall pricing for an informed purchase. 

Many young people are attempting music in some form. Most are trying out several music softwares online such as Ableton and Music maker. However, many do not know what they are getting themselves into and ultimately quit or are inefficient in how they learn the ropes.

It is important to get an initial review on what you buy.

Below is an interview with a music student, Tony Sinkfield who has used the software for 2 years. Sinkfield said, “The Software is easy to get into for beginners, but finding specifics require extra digging”.

I asked him for a response on a problem, highlight, and overall best feature. He said, “searching for specific instruments is tedious, the arpeggio is a great highlight, and creating symphonic renditions is the best feature”. Overall, he rated the software with a ⅘.  

The FL studio website provides a great rundown on the features and information for the software.

Additionally, I highly recommend seeking out experienced users. A good recommendation from me is to check out a youtuber named BusyWorksBeats. He is a music producer who primarily uses Fl Studio to teach music.

He also has a website where you can buy various plugins for the software and even a music theory lesson pack.

Additionally, he has a youtube channel that has various activities such as tutorials of artist music styles, genre style, and live motivation talks. If you want to check it out, the link is below.

 If you find this software interesting from this article, I suggest watching some of his beginner tutorials. Lengths vary depending on how much information you want.

I would watch the 1 hour long video for an in-depth analysis of the software for anyone seriously thinking of buying this.  

 The pricing depends on what version you purchase.

There are three versions: Fruity, Professional, and Signature. 

The Fruity edition is $ 99.00, Producer edition is $ 199.00, and Signature edition is $ 299.00.

The main difference among the three is what plugins you receive.

Fruity edition does not include audio recording, so you would have to buy the producer if you desire that. Plugins are essentially modules that are used for note modification on the sequencing line. It allows for variety in musicality and style.

If I were a beginner, I would research plugins online or explore them on the demo version of the software. However, FL accommodates for experienced users by allowing more plugins at a higher price. Other than that, you can purchase specific plugin packs in the shop if need be.  

Overall, this software reaches out to a large audience of beginner to well-experienced music makers. If you are on the edge about making music, try out the demo version.

Creating music can be tedious to start, especially among people who lack in music theory, but the push after is great. It is all about finding the passion or interest in the topic. Find it and you will go far.
