FL Studio features a fully automatable workflow centered on 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 or MP3 formats. In version 7, FL Studio began to support the open source Ogg Vorbis format for some of the internal plugins. FL Studio saves work in a native *.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.
