Creating a midi file can be considered a copy, or a derivative work, and playing it in public would be a performance. Copying and performing both require permission from the copyright holder.

How can you transfer midi tracks from Audacity to fl studios without exporting?

Audacity can be used to convert a MIDI track to an audio file, therefore eliminating any editable MIDI data. You can simply keep the MIDI file and open it directly in FL Studio and edit any property of the MIDI, including exchange them for better sounding synthesizers and real audio samplers. FL is, after all, a digital audio workstation specifically designed for sequenced music. Loading a MIDI file will split the tracks for you and you can export any one of them individually as a MIDI or audio file.
