Okay, so if you’re into making hip hop beats, rap instrumentals, R&B beats, or even other types of music instrumentals, you’re probably already familiar with the program, FL Studio by ImageLine, which you can visit at www.flstudio.com.  For those of you that are not too familiar with it, but have always been curious about making beats, you may want to consider purchasing FL Studio.

FL Studio is now on version 9, and has been around for some time.  There have been those that have defended, and those that have bashed on FL Studio, but when you look up reviews, it still ranks as a highly rated and highly used music production software.  It is a powerful program, and has many benefits to it that make it sought after not only by techno beat makers of the past to which it appeared to gear to, but to music producers of all genres.  It is a great tool to use to create hip hop instrumentals, rap beats, r&b instrumentals, and other styles of music such as pop, rock, and even movie scores.  It is very flexible, and also allows for the use of external VST effect and VST instrument plugins to be used within it, something that it’s competitor, Reason by Propellorhead, still does not allow.  To add insult to injury to its competitor, FL Studio, by use of a ReWire plugin, allows you to sync up the Reason music production software into it, allowing for even further flexibility for your music creation.  Read more...
