Image Line FL Studio 20 Producer Edition Boxed Supported by many iconic producers, Image Line has once again proven why this is with the release of Fruity Loops 20. Shaped by more than 2 decades of advanced development, FL Studio 20 is the complete package for musicians to create high quality records that are ready for performance, radio, tv. For FL Studio itself, there is no difference between the boxed and online (downloaded) versions. Of course, the online version will be newer than any installer in a Box. However, the included features and extra plugins are exactly the same. This applies to FL Studio Fire, Fruity, Producer and SIgnature Bundle.
STUDIO ONE 4 VS FL STUDIO
Both the Studio One and the FL studio are great Digital Audio Workstations available for users and some might be thinking of getting one of them. Hence, the need to compare the Studio One vs FL Studio. Let us first consider each of these DAWs, examine some of their unique features, their pros, and their drawbacks. After considering the features of each of them, we will then make a comparison of the Studio One vs FL Studio to determine which of them is the better Digital Audio Workstation.
STUDIO ONE
Arguably one of the best DAW in the market, PreSonus’s Studio One DAW is packed with a lot of tools for creating, producing, and mastering sounds. Particularly noteworthy about this great DAW is its Pro version (a 64-bit engine with amazing sound effects as well as lots of editing tools available for users). There’s nothing musical which the Studio One cannot be used for. It also has some amazing features.
FEATURES
- Chord Track
The chord track of this DAW allows for easy progression and harmonic editing. It’s so easy that anyone could come up with one or two chord progressions. The chord track is more interesting to use for audio when you create a MIDI chord progression.
- Pattern Mode

It allows you to program beats in a TR cycling stylee. This feature encourages creativity as you can set a Probability level or Repeats per step. This way, loops are less rigid. The use if the pattern mode is not restricted to only beats. It can be used for melodies as well. Patterns integrate well with your other parts.
- Mix Window
As the name implies, the mix window allows for mixing of beats and that of Studio One is very unique. You can add inserts at the top of a track by pressing the “+” button. This is useful if you do not want to get too serious with mixing and you just want to do a rough mix.
PROS
- The Harmonic Editing feature is quite useful.
- The Drum Editor is great to use.
- The Patterns are great as well.
- All round, the Studio One is a great DAW.
CONS
- It can be a bit hectic when using the one-window interface.
- The fact that you cant tie notes in Pattern limit it.
FL STUDIO
The FL Studio DAW is a great one for making music and creating beats. This DAW is available in three different editions that offer varying sounds, features, and plugins. This makes it a great choice for business owners or musicians, without having to worry about their experience levels. Originally, FL was known for drum sequencing, although this feature is still one of its core functions. Generally, the FL Studio is easy to use especially for beginners. It allows users to create beats on multiple channels via drag and drop. It also offers lifetime free updates for its users.
FEATURES
- Ease of Use
The user experience of this DAW matches that of its competitors. What makes it stand out is that it is easy to use. You can create drum loops and beats easily in the FL Studio DAW. Additionally, the program is designed in such a way that instrument sounds are divided into individual channels. For example, a kick drum and a snare drum would be separated such that within a measure, a single note or beat will correspond with each channel. This makes it easy to create beats and songs.
- Sound Library
All in all, the sound library of the FL Studio offers great features, such as good sounds and instruments to make music. Users can also make their own sounds with the FL Studio and can download or purchase additional sounds via the FL Studio store.
- Plugins and Effects
The FL Studio DAW integrates quite well with basically all VST plugins. There are also a lot of different synthesizers, modulators, and effect plugins in this DAW. Also, additional effect tools and plugins can be purchased via the FL Studio store.
- Support
This DAW offers a YouTube channel with video tutorials, frequently asked questions, and a user forum that helps deal with troubleshooting issues. However, it doesn’t offer phone support.
PROS
- It is great for business owners or small studio musicians.
- It offers an unlimited free trial.
- Great sound quality.
- It is easy to use.
CONS
- It doesn’t offer phone support.
- AU plugins are not supported on the FL Studio.
- The DAW can only work on Windows since there is no MAC OS version of the FL Studio at the moment.
STUDIO ONE VS FL STUDIO
Now to our comparison of the Studio One vs FL Studio. Both DAWs are impressive and in the long run, making a choice largely depends on preference. However, I prefer the Studio One. One reason is that it supports both Windows and Apple systems.
FL Studio is strictly used for electronic music production, most especially, Hip-Hop and EDM. However, the Studio One offers a better range of options, especially for home producers. This, however, doesn’t reduce the importance of the FL Studio. It is still a great DAW.

FL Studio is a hugely popular DAW, and rightly so. It’s my DAW of choice for a number of reasons. It’s also, however, a very popular DAW to crack and it’s sadly all too easy to get your hands on a dodgy (read ‘illegal’) copy…
Fl Studio Box Vs Download
Admittedly, my own first copy of FL Studio, many years ago, was on a hard-drive full of software and samples that a friend let me borrow. Thinking back, it’s almost certain that was a cracked version as I just clicked it and it worked, without any registration that I can recall. I certainly didn’t pay anything for it. But back then I was completely new to computer based music and had no idea what I was doing. I just played around with FL studio for a bit of fun.
When I decided I wanted to have a proper go at computer based music I saved up the money to buy FL Studio from Image-Line. And I would absolutely recommend that anyone intending to use FL Studio seriously does the same. There are a number of reasons for this, as follows.
1. You get SUPPORT
When you buy FL Studio from Image-Line you also become eligible for full and immediate online technical support, as well as having access to the latest software updates and bug-fixes. If you’re not using a legitimate version of the software you will not be eligible for support, and when your version plays up or stops working, you’ve got nowhere to turn. There’s also a huge on-line community of FL Studio users in the Image Line forums and elsewhere online, including some great Facebook groups. But if you are openly using an illegal version of their software you will not get any help from them.
2. You get SECURITY
Think about it… someone willing to go to the effort to illegally crack software and distribute it is unlikely to be the most honest person in the world. How do you know, when you run that executable, or install that registry file, that it’s not going to sneakily do something else in the background? After all, why would they be so happy to give you something so valuable for free if there wasn’t anything in it for them? I’m talking viruses, trojans, adware and malware that can all be sneakily loaded onto your PC if you’re running software that is not from a legitimate source. This could do anything from simply annoy you to seriously damage your computer, or worse still, allow someone to gain access to your personal details, documents, passwords etcetera… Is that really worth the risk? Buy FL Studio from Image-Line and you know you’re secure.
3. You Get a Lifetime of FREE UPGRADES
Now this really sets FL Studio apart from many other DAWs. You buy once, whichever the latest version is. And from then on, whenever a new version is released, you will be able to legally install and run that new version absolutely free. And that’s for life.
If you’re using an illegal version of the program and you want the latest upgrade, but you still don’t want to pay? Well you’ll have to find a new, illegal, cracked version. Which will bring a whole new load of nasty extras to your PC. Good luck with that!
4. You will be SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPERS
When software is bought legally, and the money goes to the developers, that allows the developers to re-invest in paying their programmers and further improving their software. That program you’re using that is so damned awesome took time and skill and money to create. If everybody decided to steal that software instead of buying it, Image Line wouldn’t be able to afford to keep improving it. By stealing the software you are killing your own favourite DAW.
5. Illegal software is ILLEGAL
This seems obvious but so many people don’t seem to appreciate that if you use ILLEGAL software, you are breaking the law. Not even in any kind of ‘cool’ gangster way… If that’s your style. Nope, you’re breaking the law in a lame, sneaky thief kind of way. If you get caught you can face a large fine and even time in prison. That would be fun for you.
6. It’s not even THAT EXPENSIVE!
Honestly, compared to other DAWs and musical equipment that us poor musicians are willing to fork out for, FL Studio is very affordable (and don’t forget the lifetime free upgrades!). As someone who’s built a small home-studio on a tight budget I massively appreciate the value for money you get from Image Line when you buy their software. As well as all the factors mentioned above there’s also the fact that FL Studio is an amazing DAW.

It’s your choice if you buy FL Studio or not…
At the end of the day, it’s up to you if you want to ignore all of this and seek out cracked software. Not everyone can afford even the low cost of FL Studio, and some people just prefer stealing stuff to paying for it. But you do so at your own risk and to the detriment of those who create the software you’re using. Just be careful and if you do eventually get to the stage where you’re making money from your music, do the honourable thing and BUY FL STUDIO!
