What FL Studio is

FL Studio is music-production software from a maker founded in 1994 and headquartered in Belgium. It runs on Windows and macOS and provides multitrack editing, MIDI sequencing, noise reduction, video synchronization and third-party plugin support. The Fruity Edition includes 82 instruments and effects plus a lifetime FL Studio license, but excludes audio recording and stem separation. Producer Edition adds audio recording, stem separation, the Edison and Newtime audio editors and third-party plugin support. Signature Bundle includes Producer features with additional instruments and effects, Newtone and Gross Beat. All Plugins Edition includes the complete FL Studio plugin and tool set, all available instruments and effects and lifetime free updates. A Rent-to-Own Plus option is listed as 12 payments. Fruity Edition is priced at $99 a month. The software supports the listed editing and sequencing workflows on both supported desktop platforms.
