FL Studio is a feature-rich digital audio workstation primarily aimed at electronic music producers, offering extensive MIDI and audio capabilities, but with a steeper learning curve. In contrast, Rosegarden is an open-source software that excels in MIDI composition and score editing, making it ideal for beginners and educational use, but it lacks the robust audio production features found in FL Studio.
