FL Studio (known as FruityLoops before 2003)[5] is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the Belgian company Image-Line. It features a graphical user interface with a pattern-based[6] music sequencer. It is available in four different editions for Microsoft Windows and macOS.[7]
After their initial purchase, lifetime updates of the software are free to registered users.[8][9] Image-Line also develops FL Studio Mobile for Android, iOS, macOS, and Universal Windows Platform devices.[10]
FL Studio can be used as either a Virtual Studio Technology (VST) or Audio Unit (AU) instrument in other audio workstation programs, and as a ReWire client. Image-Line offers its own VST and AU instruments and audio applications. FL Studio has been used by many notable hip hop and EDM producers, including 9th Wonder, Cardo, Basshunter, Metro Boomin, Hit-Boy, Porter Robinson, Alan Walker, Madeon, Soulja Boy, Southside, Martin Garrix, Avicii, Imanbek, Lex Luger, Deadmau5, and Pi'erre Bourne.[11][12][13][14] The previous default tempo of FL Studio (140 BPM) has been credited as being the reason grime music is generally produced around 140 BPM.[15]
