FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops) is a digital audio workstation, developed by Belgian company Image-Line Software. Didier Dambrin, also known by his nickname "gol", is the lead programmer responsible for the development of the program.

FL Studio features a fully automatable workflow centered around a pattern-based music sequencer. The environment includes extensive MIDI support and incorporates numerous features for the editing, mixing, and recording of audio. Completed songs or clips may be exported to Microsoft WAV, MP3, and as of FL Studio 8, the OGG Vorbis format. FL-Studio saves work in a proprietary *.FLP format.

The program is well known for professional DAW features at an attractive price point. The pattern-based sequencer in FL Studio is especially sympathetic to creating music in electronic genres, but artists have successfully adapted the program to produce everything from classical to country music. Scoring to video is possible using the video-player plugin, but there is no support for traditional music notation.

FL Studio is written in Borland Delphi and as a result there are no known plans to develop a native Linux or Mac OS X port.
