The Producer Edition
FLStudio 4 is a complete virtual studio and the latest version of the popular dance music creation tool, Fruityloops. You will be creating songs and loops only minutes after launching it. FLStudio provides all you need to take your songs to the next level. FLStudio is a hybrid product that combines the best in sound generation and emulation with song creation, and it does it all with an interface that you can use out-of-the-box. FLStudio also runs as a DXi soft synth so that you can plug it directly into SONAR, Project5, Home Studio, Music Creator, or Plasma. FLStudio 4 comes in two flavors: The Fruityloops Edition, and The Producer Edition (the version listed on this page). The Producer edition includes everything found in the Fruityloops edition, plus audio recording and editing capabilities.

You can fade, normalize, reverse, invert, trim, and add loop points to any audio clip.

Sequencing tools
Step Sequencer
The step sequencer is the heart of FLStudio. In this view you assign channels to sound generators. It contains a button for each channel in your song, from which you can access its Channels Settings, Piano Roll, etc. It also contains a pattern grid, where you can create drum loops and simple melodies.
Simply clicking the dots allows you to trigger sampler channels, the integrated synths that come with Fruityloops, or any existing VST 2.0 or DXi plug-in. If you want to change the pitch of the samples you simply pull down the piano keyboard and create a melody.
Piano Roll
The Piano Roll allows you to compose complex tracks for your songs, that would be hard or impossible to do with the Step Sequencer. Create melodies and chord changes, with control over note lengths and pitch, slides, panning, velocity, cut off, resonance, and more. All parameters can be controlled on a note by note basis, and by using slides you can make your notes slide from the one to the other.
MIDI users can input notes directly from their keyboard or other MIDI controller. You can also import a MIDI files or use the PC keyboard to compose the notes.
Playlist
The Playlist is where you arrange your composition. This is where you specify which patterns or audio clips you want to play, when you want them to sound, and for how long.
Want to add pre-recorded voices, guitar parts or other recorded audio? Just drag any wav file to the Playlist and position it to the time you want to have it played back. In the Producer Edition, you can also record audio directly into FLStudio.
FLStudio includes a wide range of soft synths
Dreamstation DXi - accurately reproduces analog synth sounds by modeling analog circuits and oscillators.
Wave Traveller - Load Wave files, then create multiple paths back and forth through the audio to create convincing DJ-style scratches. Multiple paths per-sample can be key mapped.
3xOsc - a combination of 3 oscillators that feed the FLStudio Sampler. It generates bright sounds that can be filtered by the channel's instrument tools. It can also produce a unique kind of stereo chorus.
Fruity Granulizer - a granular synth. Granular synths split wave samples into small pieces ("grains") and then plays them back according to defined settings. Stretch audio without altering its pitch; create complex special effects; even start with normal playback and then "morph" your audio.
BeepMap - generates sound based on imported image files.
BooBass - a realistic acoustic bass synth.
Fruity Kick - a simple kick drum synth.
Plucked! - a plucked string synth.
Fruity Scratcher - a vinyl turntable simulator. Load samples and record your performance in real-time.
Fruity LSD - adds the functionality of the DirectMusic software synthesizer to FLStudio and provides 16 MIDI instruments with an option to import DLS level 1 banks.
Fruity Wrapper - adds support for DXi and VST instruments.
MIDI Out - a plug-in that allows you to use FLStudio to control your external MIDI devices.

Fruity Peak Controller
An internal controller that allows you to modify any wheel, knob or switch by feeding it a sound or beat. It tracks the audio peaks from your source and then uses it to modulate whatever controls you have designated.
Fruity Formula Controller
An internal controller that accepts user defined formulas for modulating other parameters.
Fruity X-Y Controller
An internal controller that allows you to control parameters along an X-Y axis. You can also use a joystick with this controller to get hands on control of your mix.
Dashboard
Create software interfaces for your external MIDI hardware, such as keyboards, mixers, samplers etc. Use the integrated automation system to record changes as your song progresses. Also set up interfaces that act as internal controllers.
Dashboard includes several preset panels for popular MIDI devices, ready to use in your projects. You can customize the existing panels or create new ones from scratch. This way you can adapt Dashboard for any MIDI device you own. read less

"best bang for any buck in the sequencer market."
Try it, buy it.
Sound
I have used this piece of software since version 2, and it has grown a long with me. It now has a fully featured piano roll with advanced quantization options, and nearly every parameter in the entire program can be automated at 996 PPQ. In layman's terms, you can play something on a Midi controller, record it, and FL will snap it to whatever you choose. Fruityloops Studio is my weapon of choice because it is the most economical, efficient, and functional VST and DX host on the market.
Features
FL will not come with CD loads of "hip, fresh, hard house samples!" like Reason does, it comes with something even better: Support for every plugin standard ever. This means you have access to free plugs developed by hundreds of independent developers, in addition to the ability to make your own plug ins with free and easy programs like CPS or synthedit. Fruityloops is a semi-modular environment, in that you can create your own control paths that respond to audio, or LFOs. You can control any parameter by the volume of a channel. This means you can create your own gating or cutoff patterns that are controlled by a click track of a composition you determine.
Quality
I have had no major quality issues or gaping flaws with my copy of FL Studio. You will find that most issues are caused by third party plugs.
Value
Regardless of price,… read more I would take this software over anything but Logic, which is now Mac only. This is on the cheap side of software, but I assure you, any feature you need is present.
Manufacturer Support
I have never had to deal with customer support, so I couldn't tell you.
The Wow Factor
How glamourous should sequencers be? not very. I don't want some sort of glamor gimmick thing with cables swinging under fake gravity in fake wind, I want the hard stuff man. I want a sequencer I can totally ignore while I worry about music.
