FL Studio (formerly known as FruityLoops) is a digital audio workstation developed by the Belgian company Image-Line.

FL Studio features a graphical user interface based on a pattern-based music sequencer and is, as of 2014, one of the most used digital audio workstations worldwide.

The program is available in three different editions for Microsoft Windows, including Fruity Edition, Producer Edition, and the Signature Bundle.

Image-Line offers lifetime free updates to the program, which means customers receive all future updates of the software for free.

Image-Line also develops FL Studio Mobile for iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and Android devices. FL Studio can be used as a VST instrument in other audio workstation programs and also functions as a ReWire client.

Image-Line also offers other VST instruments and audio applications. FL Studio is used by electronic musicians and DJs such as Afrojack, Avicii, and 9th Wonder.
