Descript vs. FL Studio

• Transcription of internal presentations and web conferences. It's great for capturing and transcribing the audio from presentations, demos, etc. which can then be used to develop training materials, blog posts, etc.
• Podcasts. Makes it really easy to record, edit, and publish video or audio podcasts.
• Promotional videos. Streamlines and accelerates the process for developing videos.

I would recommend FL Studio for anyone who wants to get their hands on music making or even just recording audio for videos. I would suggest making the somewhat small investment and trying it out, you could end up with a career from it. For beginners I would definitely suggest watching online courses/tutorials as they helped me a lot and it will for you as well. Also, I would recommend using third party plugins which will help in fine tuning your projects and overall produce much better music/recordings. FL Studio is well suited for businesses and personal use to make music. I would confidently say that its one of the best DAW to start making music.

• I like the sidebar - breaking my scripts up into different "chapters" makes it easier to create quickly.
• I like that it auto-corrects punctuation, capitalization, etc. as I polish the scripts.
• It's easy for my team and my collaborators to read/listen, remark, and create useable transcripts.

• When editing a transcript it can get a little cumbersome, as a double click doesn't always do what you think it will
• Some features aren't that intuitive (what is resize word gap) for beginners
• A tutorial/wizard as soon as you sign up would be very useful

• The recording process can somewhat be confusing and inefficient.
• FL Studio has a confusing routing, for example to use return tracks for reverbs, you will have to click numerous buttons to get that done.
• FL Studio has a somewhat steep learning curve, which can demotivate beginners.
• FL Studio's auto-saving feature is a bit late, which can ruin your project if you rely on it.

Descript is by far superior to the other editing software you can get on Apple computers. It's able to do a lot more and really save us tons of time. Other Adobe apps are great, but take a while to learn. Descript is very user-friendly, making it easy to start from day one with very little training.

In selecting this software, we investigated and considered others. We found that FL Studio had a good price point and the life time free version updates made it a one time purchase.

In terms of functionality, the most similar software solutions are Ableton Live, Logic Pro X and Propellerhead Reason.

Of these the most cost effective for us was Ableton Live and FL Studio with Propellerhead Reason being a slightly different product.

We found that FL studio had a wider feature set and was more suited to our use, where as Ableton Live would be better if live music performance was a requirement, in our case it was not.

• I can get video completed much more quickly and cheaply
• We can produce more video content because of the speed with which we can have a finished product
• We can have shorter timelines for example I record on Monday and we publish on Tuesday which wouldn't be otherwise possible with other methods I've used
