Image Line Reviews 

Ich arbeite gerne in Fl Studio bis..

Bisher hab ich gerne diese DAW genutzt, allerdings ist sie vergleichsweise in der Performance sehr schwierig, bei UAD Plugins schmiert es oft ab, lädt gefühlt 10Jahre um dann abzuschmieren, nervig mitten im Mix, Backup habe ich eingestellt, soll er alle 10Min machen, wird aber leider nicht gemacht ... jedesmal ist ein langer Mixing prozess mit guten ergebnissen einfach so weg, das ist ärgerlich, das selbe projekt nach dem selben vorgehen in einer anderen DAW gemixt, kein einziger hänger oder absturz, daran müsst ihr definitv feilen, für mich ist splice mit renttoown grade der retter, mein pc ist definitiv nicht das Problem, neu gekauft- i9 32gb etc..

Two things.
Firstly, I love their DAW.
FL Studio is great for me
BUT
Support is absolutely awful and pointless.
Bought a couple of "soon to expire" deals, and had trouble installing the plug-ins.
Contacted support.
Waste of time. Firstly my "ticket was refused for abrasive/abusive language - of which there was none, so had to spend half an hour trying to re-word my complaint.
The response did not even answer my questions, just told me how to re-install my copy of FL Studio.
Der...
Second issue.
Now getting email telling me that I have something in my cart.
Am I undecided about it?
No.
I can't find it, can't get rid of it and have no idea what they are talking about.
Yet again, try to contact support.
Oh, there is none.
Image Line are complettely useless

Als Kunde von über 10 Jahren Support-Anfrage gestellt bei massivem Fehler, der ein Weiterarbeiten nicht mehr zuließ.
Nach fast einem Monat keine Antwort.

Best DAW no question! First used in 2013 and never switched!

This must be the best daw ever!! Been with FLStudio since it was called Fruity Loops. I must say they never stop surprising. Easy to work with really good service. Who gives a lifetime update and keeps improving like FLStudio does? I can’t think of any other company!!!

These sounds yall have are very very terrible. I've been making music forever and these sounds suck major.

In the UK, we expect our purchases to show the whole price. VAT is included in the price in every shop we go in, and every online store.

So I bought FL Studio from them, as they were doing a deal with Humble Bundle (for £38), which gave me a 20% off voucher.

Thinking it was a good deal, I bought the bundle (believe it or not, for £38), then went to use the code on image-line's site. Suddenly they slap on a 20% VAT charge!!! So I ended up no saving anything.

I'm furious, and had to go through with the purchase because I unlocked the 20% code.

I won't be spending another single penny at this company, nor recommending them. What they did should be illegal!!!

Best customer support I've dealt with from any software company. I would absolutely recommend their products. Fl studio is by far my favorite daw.

Worst support I have ever experienced. Image Line suddently block my account for no reason and they are not helpfull at all. I have decided not to use my fl studio producer edition I have license to use anymore and therefore I want my account deleted. But that I cant do that either from there idle website!!!

FL surely has one of the nicest (if not The nicest) graphics out of all DAWs. Also, fairly easy to learn to use.

The biggest problem with FL imo, is that some features just don't make sense. Like if there is one feature that doesnt make sense, OK, I understand, maybe it is a mistake from the developing team to implement that that way, but when there is just so much irritating features, it just makes me wanna punch a hole in my wall. Like why do I have to open my files in order to open older projects I had been working on. Why is there no button to like "see more" in the "File" part of the DAW, which I could click to get an expanded view of my projects. As I said, very little thing like this, but super annoying when they add up to every day use.

You can still make saucy beats with it, and of course, FL is iconic on its own. I'd say, if you got no temperament, maybe reconsider your options, or try the trial version before purchasing.

I do still appreciate that image line support gave me a 10% discount. Thanks for that

You must know that most DAWs do the same job the right way. Fl studio though not only offers the same quality as for its engine as other top DAWs, but it comes with an amazing price, a great looking customizable GUI, a technical support that actually listen to their customers(you want a new feature, add it to their forum and if other users love that, you propably have the update you want). In my case that happened twice so far. Last but not least is the free upgrade to the new versions.You buy FL studio 23 now and you will also get FL Studio 30 when it's time to come for free. That's very decent and great! Nothing but love for this Daw!

truly impressive to make an update which dont fix and only make 50 errors happen all the time

I basically never write reviews...but...

Uhm, Image-line provides some of the 5h1ttiest, most buggy, overpriced software on the planet with fundamental memory management issues that have not been addressed in like 20 years and they are too dumb/5h1t to fix that so they try to silence customers and forum posters with deflection, and ignorance. In fact, they pretty much blatantly lie to you while being patronizing nearly braindead asstards.

They don't even allow trial users to comment or READ posts on their forums, so you cannot tell them they suck 5h1t and that their software sucks 5h1t.

They suck 5h1t and their software sucks 5h1t (I happened to code physics engines and such for like a decade), don't waste your time on it. It's a toy app, it is not production worthy unless you're into cosmetic superficial bs, seriously, their 5h1t is not even worth pirating. I'm here to tell you about that, coz around a third of those trustpilot reviews are plain false and most likely image-line associated marketing attempts to try and sell their garbage (or from what I can only call uninformed nubs).

There are like 20 better DAWs that you can use, use any of them instead, they are better. Fruityloops is also THE LEAST EFFICIENT DAW I've ever had the misfortune of having to experience, not only in terms of processor, memory usage, but in fact practically, as it crashes rather often which DEFINITELY helps the production process and makes me want to stab someone. Preferably someone(s) at image-line.

And I'm not a violent person, but image-line has caused me to seriously consider genocide.

Now to be clear, I'm not actually going to attack anyone or whatever, but imo image-line is not to be considered with their policies, support, second rate software, etc. I am almost certain fruityloops was actually a better app 25 years ago (and it was broken then too). I could show you for instance videos, of them...ignoring videos posted on their forum pointing out their bugs etc and essentially treating the customer as if the customer is as 5h1t and mentally retard3d as they are.

It feels almost like it's an affront to my character that their 5h1t is named FL studio. I mean come on, those are my initials, I don't want to be associated with that crap. FFS.

As an aside, I am actually not the worst at music either, so it's not like I've not seen fruityloops, other daws and say, people that I personally know with $500 license crap being treated like 5h17. And I can in fact provide evidence of that too. Videos, forum posts (that you as a reader of this without having let them bu77fvck you are not allowed to read except with a little workaround of adding a product of theirs into your cart and not buying it...check that out btw, or not, as the case may be).

No jokes, after you have used that little cart trick, you will be able to read on their forums (though you cannot post until you hand over your soul), you will find a fair amount of licensed users not bothering with them, or b17ching about their crap, etc.

Very cool. Btw, I wanted to press the 0 star rating button, where is it?

"" Finger weg, FL sind Abzocker !!! """ Mein Sohn würde auch gerne FL Studio lernen, aber ein Herr... hat
uns einen Key verkauft für 94 € und Programm schreibt seid einiger Zeit Test Version, obwohl Vollversion. Auf der Original FL Seite !!!
Telefonisch nicht erreichbar! seid Monaten ignoriert der Emails und Anrufe !!! 🤬
Programm schreibt auch noch, das dieser Key von jemand anderen genutzt wird.

Since I'm here from the Studio One cluster[redacted], maybe i should be here for having a real conversation about how... rich featured FL is, how great the supports are, and the fact that the software itself convinced me from a cracked user to now a Signature user.

Been a Signature user for 3 years. I know it might not be a lot for some people, but i gotta say something about FL: It's great. Out of all the DAWs i use, from Cakewalk, hellhole named Abelton (or is it ableton, it's disabled af), or just cancers like Avid Pro Tools or gigachad who basically gives their software like Winrar (Reaper), i have to say that FL suited me the most. their unique workspace fit me better than everything else i can imagine for, their synths and affects are good, and absolutely busted (Serum? it can go to the trash can for its cancerous CPU usage, all hall Sytrus and Image Line synths), and most of all, their holy grail named the piano roll. God i swear they are good. Beside that, they also have generous packs and presets like kick and other stuffs, which can actually be used in other daws, UNLIKE SOME SPECIFIC SOFTWARES WHICH MAKE EVEN THE SIMPLIEST SOUND THEIR FREAKING PROPRIETARY BULL[redacted]. (I'm talking to you, Studio One and Bitwig.) At the same time, I do have to mention that their support are great, they helped me whenever im stuck, they have a forum, where i can download free stuffs, and there are also a subreddit, which so far has the most people in. That's why now i'm now a legit user, and why do i buy Signature Bundle? Well, of course. FREE LIFE TIME UPDATE. hey, 20+ years is quite a thing they give for such cheap software after all, of course i need to support them too.

In the end, i do think that Image Line and their software are good, lightweight, and very efficient. and since now they bought AVI (whatever their name is, they are plugin and instrument developer company), im extremely excited for what to come next.

The best software I've ever came across truly truly easy to use so powerful and excellent updates.

I give the product 5 stars. The customer service needs to be worked on, A LOT. It took 3 months to finally figure out why I could not reactivate the software after a computer crash. For the folks asking why they don't understand the negative reviews, wait until you have a serious authorization issue and see how hard it is to recover. It always amazes me how people judge other peoples experiences.

Das Programm ist großartig, aber es gibt keinen telefonischen Support, nur ein Ticket-Email-System. Leider ist der Support nur auf Englisch und sehr unfreundlich, wenn es Probleme gibt. Wenn etwas schief geht, scheint das Geld weg zu sein. Es wird alles Mögliche unterstellt, wie zum Beispiel Accountsharing, ohne Beweise vorzulegen. Das ist wirklich ärgerlich! Ich habe viel Geld verloren und werde nie wieder so teures Lehrgeld bezahlen ! Ich fühle mich Betrogen und machtlos !

Awful experience.

woohoo Black friday sales - FL studio all plugins on offer for £344...

Then you get to checkout and find out its just a clickbait lie.

They then add 20% tax!!!!

Based on these underhand tactics I cannot recommend them. Avoid
