This is not at all restricted in terms of options and allows you to play with all of the functions and plugins. Image-Line does offer a fully-featured demo version of FL Studio. What about the ‘free’ version of FL Studio? Poizone, Sakura, Sawer, Toxic Biohazard & Transistor Bass – which are all focused around bass with the latter being having an inbuilt sequencer.Īt a healthy way towards being double the price of ‘Signature’, whether the extra 10 inch or 11 instruments and effects are worth the cost is debatable.

Ogun – A synth that lets you create sounds on the industrial spectrum.

Harmor and Morphine – both bass synthesizers which are designed to be powerful yet simple to use.

Drumaxx – A drum synth that lets you manipulate 16 drum pads that can all be routed independently.

Given that it is fully featured and it’s mid-price point between ‘Producer’ and the final level, the ‘All Plugins Edition’. The ‘Signature’ version is probably the level that most serious producers will go for. This allows you to import video or Flash files to synchronize with your track, this makes it the ideal choice for those who are creating music videos or adding soundtracks to clips or movies. ‘Signature’ is also the first edition that includes the ‘Fruity Video Player’. Overall, the ‘Signature’ version comes with 91 instruments and effects, which is 10 more than ‘Fruity’ and 6 more than ‘Producer’. This means that anyone that will be working heavily with vocals should consider the ‘Signature’ version above the previous two editions. For example, there is an extra audio editor that allows you to warp and time and pitch correct vocals and other audio clips. The ‘Signature’ version of FL Studio builds on the ‘Producer’ edition and includes a few more advanced plugins. So for example, if you wanted to add vocal lines or acapellas you would be stuck using ‘Fruity’. This is because even pure electronic music often uses audio clips. You may find yourself quickly limited and requiring one of the higher versions of FL Studio. While ‘Fruity’ may suit some complete newbies to music production software. Although there are built-in wave visualizations that would allow you to create visuals for your track and upload them to YouTube, for example. You are also restricted from using any form of video within the ‘Fruity’ edition. The most noticeably absent plugins are time and pitch manipulation, vocoders, and mastering elements. You have the options of things like destructors, frequency splitters, bass manipulation, chorus effects, and compressors. What is included along with sequencing are some playlist options and effects. Meaning, although you have use of instruments and effects, audio recording and importing audio clips are completely absent.

Aimed at complete beginners, the options are heavily restricted. It focuses on creating beats and MIDI sequencing, rather than full audio manipulation and recording. ‘Fruity’ is Image Line’s entry-level music production DAW.
