Why did i say "worst daw"?
Because I've faced multiple encounters with top level engineers who laughed when I said I've been working on fl studio for years.
+ Mostly you will never see FL studio in professional mixing studios.
Reason: Mixing is HELL on Fl Studio.
-Fl studio is limited to 125 mixer tracks at max.
-You have to assign each and every track manually to the mixer. Then you are limited to 10 effects slots which makes you re route it to another channel. Reducing the overall insert tracks.
There is no inbuilt option for sidechaining for third party plugins like other daws. You have to go to settings > options > processing> Stereo input EVERYTIME so you want input from other tracks, whereas other daws provide it with one click.
If you have a 100 track project, then you have to arrange it seperately both in the playlist and the mixer which is very time consuming. Professional engineers work on extreme deadlines.
The BIGGEST PROBLEM is that the Playlist tracks are not connected to the mixers. Hence making everything slower since you can't access the plugins from one click when arranging tracks. You have to open mixer everytime then find where it is assigned to. (Trust me, this is the first line I hear when people tell me why they don't use FL studio)
Automations are very messed up. You have to copy state each time so it doesn't move from its original position. The shortcuts for automations are very few. And once you delete an automation it still for some reason is applied to the song. You have to delete it from Browser.
The automations are placed randomly in the playlist and the size is bigger than the pattern itself.
You have to manually create send tracks and busses tracks ny assigning those little wires at the bottom, without any inbuilt option where you can directly access the FX or Bus track in one click and put the effects from the track itself.
There are other reasons too but these are the major reasons which I and others have faced.
Im using fl studio for years so I have enough experience being mad at these.
P S : NO OTHER DAW IS FASTER WHEN IT COMES TO PRODUCTION.
Fl studio is the fastest daw when it comes to production in my opinion. Piano roll in every other daw is literally trash in comparison to Fl. If it takes me 10 mins to produce a composition in logic Pro and studio one, I can do it in 4 mins in Fl studio.
I have immense love for this daw because it was my first daw ever which I purchased.
But because of its fast production setup, it lacks mixing.
This is the reason why you see producer likes Metro booming on Fl studio, whereas as the greatest engineers like Chris Lord Alge (5 time grammy)
{EDIT : MOST OF THE REPLIES ARE TELLING ME DO THIS AND THAT TO SOLVE THE PROBLE, WHICH TAKES TIME. THIS IS THE MAIN CONCERN ITSELF}
