The first version of FruityLoops (1.0.0) was developed by Didier Dambrin and was partially released on December 18, 1997. FL Studio has been used by numerous highly visible hip hop and EDM producers, including Metro Boomin, Porter Robinson, Alan Walker, Madeon, Soulja Boy, Southside, Martin Garrix, Avicii, Imanbek, Lex Luger and Deadmau5. Image-Line also offers its own VST and AU instruments and audio applications. įL Studio can also be used as either a virtual studio technology (VST) or Audio Unit (AU) instrument in other audio workstation programs and also functions as a ReWire client. Image-Line also develops FL Studio Mobile for Android, iOS, macOS and Universal Windows Platform devices.

Image-Line offers lifetime free updates to the program after one-time purchases, which means customers receive all future updates of the software for free after their purchase. The program is available in four different editions for Microsoft Windows and macOS. It features a graphical user interface with a pattern-based music sequencer. FL Studio (previously known as FruityLoops before 2003) is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the Belgian company Image-Line.
