Avg price: $179.00
In a studio session video, Martin Garrix said he uses different versions of FL Studio he has installed, since he has not consolidated all the samples and synth sounds into one version (due to lack of time).
The official Image Line website features a Martin Garrix testimonial:
I looked for a program that is easy to use for productions and gives fast results when making tracks. I tried to switch to logic a few times but it's just not my thing. If I have an idea I want to be able to work it out really fast so I can decide if it's worth finishing. Besides that FL Studio has some really good plugins itself which I use a lot.
