I've been producing hip hop, pop, and house music for years now and I have had a lot of experience with multiple programs including Logic, Reason, Cubase, and more. FL studio was the first program I ever tried and continues to be the best. Many people frown upon it for the lack of professional sounds, however, the stock library has improved over time and it is very easy to import your own sounds into the library as well. The user interface is extremely user friendly and intuitive. With FL studio, I can focus more on making the music rather than figuring out how to make it.
