Free, but limited

Despite the availability and whatever it offers, LMMS is not suitable for many people. The UI is visually horrific and confusing and a lot of plugins fail to work with this DAW. Not to mention it crashes. A LOT.

CPU Intensive :(

Has some great sounds, but can eat up lots of processor power. I usually end up consolidating the patterns and melodies I make with this.

Great Value for Money

One of the cheapest VST'S I've come across. Does the job quite well, although low sounds must be pitched up before using the effect, to avoid muddiness. Only complaint is high CPU usage.

Confusing Interface

I tried it (as an FL user) and instantly disliked it, due to the dull UI and lack of organisation. The piano roll took me at least 20 minutes to find and didn't function intuitively. Would not recommend to producers starting out.

Version: Ableton Live 9

Tape-stop : OK

This is a great free plugin for FL users that do not have LFOTool or dBlue TapeStop. It isn't the best nor the most pleasant, however it does the job

Worth Learning

Despite the complex interface, it is capable of making loads of sounds if you learn how to use this plugin. Would recommend to newbies that cannot afford major VSTs such as Serum, as it is included with FL

Not great

This was one of the first third party plugins I installed and I was excited to use it for tropical house, but it was disappointing and the sounds aren't great

Great for effects

This is one of the most realistic plugins, however it makes noise even when the track is not playing in FL, meaning I have to turn the plugin off

Great Distortion Plugin

Helps achieve phat sounds, but I encountered problems with using automation clips with this plugin, which is why it gets 4 stars

Top Notch

Great for cutoff filters, which as every producer knows helps makes some great mixes!

Worst EQ Plugin

UI is shit, doesn't show frequencies being played out live and is finicky. I much prefer the stock Parametric EQ 2 in FL

Fun, but finicky

Takes a while to understand it, despite the simplicity of the plugin! 🤣 It is simple, does the job and is not supported by the devs, which is a shame as it doesn't work on the latest FL Studio version for me :(

Great for Sidechain

Obviously as the name of this plugin suggests and I can literally just drop this in my mixer slot and I have some great sidechain effect on it! This is probably as good as LFOTool!

Best DAW

Simple, effective and extensive DAW for anyone who wishes to get into music production, especially for beginners. The user interface is well structured and the parts of the software are superbly integrated, allowing for a seamless experience from the mixer to the channel rack. Furthermore, the lifetime free updates are excellent considering Image-Line's constant improvement and additions to its software.
