    That’s why I use multiple DAWs 😂 Live (Ableton) for producing and sound design, Logic for producing and mixing and Pro Tools for mostly for mixing for ads as it lets you import audio data from premiere. Logic lets you too but sometime is glitchy hehe. I need to learn Studio One too and UAD Luna, this way I’m able to help others that uses any of these daws 😎

    I started with FL Studio about 15 years ago and developed my workflows with it. When I tried to use Ableton because I saw many nice features in videos, I struggled a lot and was frustrated that I couldn’t put my ideas fast enough into the DAW.

    Thank you so much for posting this video! Thanks to you, I gave Logic Pro a try and now I'm suddenly making music! I followed many FL Studio tutorials, but somehow it was not intuitive to me. Now with Logic Pro everything makes sense and it's soooo much easier to be creative.
    I've also purchased the MPK Mini Plus which also helps tremendously in creating melodies and music.
    Still got a long way to go, but Logic Pro is the one I'm sticking with for now. Thank you!

    FL Studio has been my DAW for almost 8 years now. I've tried other DAWs out, but their workflows just didn't sit right with me.
    In the end, it's all about preference. 😊

    Logic Pro too offers lifetime free udates, just like FL Studio.
    It is also the cheapest of all DAWs, includes free professional plugins like it's own autotune plugin and a unique synthesizer, but messes up midi mappings of primitive midi controllers like the AKAI midiMIX.
    Logic pro also introduced the grit pattern editor workflow (like FL studio) and live loops workflow (like ableton).
    The live loops workflow interface is seamlessly integrated with the composing and recording interface, unlike Ableton, where you have to switch between the two.
    Plugins showing spectrogram of the signal in FL Studio is lit, you can see what you are doing.

      You don't need to buy every new version of Ableton. Skrillex made his greatest hits in Ableton 8. Fl is really bad for sound design and big projects with 100+ tracks. And it has it's own workflow that also bad.

    Started with Reason 1 (actually with Rebirth) and still use it in version R12 now. I use Ableton, but very little, tried Serato Studio and didn't really liked it. As of the last 4 years I've been using NI Maschine( I have an Maschine Studio and a Plus) and use it 100% for music creation, together with a Komplete Kontrol A49. Then I export everything into Reason 12 for tweaking, arranging and mixing!

    •  Рік тому

      Glad not to be the only one here who started with Reason! 😄 So cool that you're still using it! I miss it sometimes. I might try it again at some point, it was so inspiring, even though I knew so little back then.

  •  Рік тому

    Started with Reason 😅 May be the most good looking one in terms of instruments/plugins. It was so inspiring but I was struggling because I knew almost nothing about the different devices (synths, drum machines) and concepts. Then I tried Logic Pro and it was quite intuitive, great to record real instruments (first time I was doing that). But I was feeling it was hard to explore different combinations of musical lines. Then I discovered Ableton and its "session view" was a dream came true. Now Logic has something similar I believe.. Ableton didn't look very good to me (too plain) and it looks not very powerful but it actually is, and after a few years of getting used to it, I love how simple and efficient everything is. I never learned another DAW as deeply so I can't compare fairly, but I don't feel limited by Ableton can do now. I also use a hardware controller (APC 40) which allows me not to interact with the computer screen much when composing, which is great.

      I initially tried it as i heard it was much tighter for clocking external hardware and I use a lot of eurorack. I was having a lot of issues with ableton, especially syncing with my Cirklon, but it does so much more than ableton and I find it more inspiring for writing and mixing. Each to their own I suppose.
      I still love Ableton, I have been a certified trainer for over 10 years, and still use it for a lot of mastering work as it’s more common for people to send me ableton projects (although bitwig can run ableton projects as well).

Guess I'm on to FL for writing and PT for mixing and producing ;) thanks!

    If you use FL you have to plan work flow and adapt to it. There is things that may be easier in other DAWs. I can see how Logic may be easier for certain things. FL improved the arangement view but it's still not perfect. FL Mobile is a lot easier to use for writing music. But needs more features. It's almost there but not quite.

    Cant agree to the budget option point - FL Studio gives you Updates / Upgrades / New Plugins for free and forever. That's why 99 for the Producer Edition or the 269€ Edition is totally worth it. As i said in another comment i work with FL Studio since 2002 and never paid again for it. (The good old Fruity loops!) When you use so much third party stuff i wouldnt recommend buy the signature bundle in FL, but when you fine with stock plugins only buy it. Otherwise the producer edition is the way to go + third party plugins.
    After all the years i will try ableton 11 again because i do mostly techno and for electronic music its the best daw... no discussion here.
    When you are a beatmaker try FL Studio.
    If logic would be available on windows i would switch to this because my workflow is ruined by FL (haha) and ableton is for me to complicated.

  • @alex_HL
    @alex_HL Рік тому

    I used FL in the beginning but then switched to Ableton till this day. FL feels like I'm always closing popups and the automation is so tedious and annoying to do. Ableton has a minimalistic design, but the plugin workflow is so much smoother and you are able to see so much stuff at once. I feel like Ableton has the most intuitive design, everything that you see and figure out how to use just makes so much sense. I'm pretty sure Ableton has more features and functionality as a whole than other daws, could be wrong. I have Logic Pro X and I feel like it is so similar to Ableton however it is way less intuitive to use.

    I started with FL Studio and for years I struggled with the work flow. I thought it was just something that I wasn't getting and I must not be cut out for this. After trying a bunch of other DAWs I realized that FL simply didn't work for me. I eventually settled on Studio One and have made way more progress in a short amount of time. Since I already had FL I was able to do a crossgrade deal with Studio One and saved a lot. It's interesting how much a DAW can inspire or discourage the creative process.

Kinda shitty, or if u choose to pay a Monthly Suscription for 15 usd for a "unlimited" version of Studio One 6 that is the actual version.

    Why is there no windows Logic Pro Version - i would instantly switch but i hate apple stuff...
    I work with FL Studio since 2002 and this is why i would switch to another DAW:
    1.) Automation - When you have huge Projects and many many many Automations the whole project gets messy. You have to create good template to really organize your stuff (Groups, Mixer, Busses etc.) for a good workflow.
    2.) Arrangement - When you have groups in your Arrangement Tab it is not possible to drag and drop audio in one of the groups. Even when you not using the instrument that belongs to the group its not possible. It destroys my workflow when i have to create a template and still cant drag something in. i dont know how to explain it but this is annoying to me.
    3.) Plugins - The stock Plugins are okay but i hate it when you have so much Plugins open. The all overlap it gets messy. In Ableton is this sooo clean. I dont how it is in Logic.
    4.) Mixer Routing - Sometimes i feel like an electrician where i have to connect 100 cables here and there to get the best result. (Never pick Reason too as beginner daw ;) )For example i have to route 3-4 FX Channels to create a Kick + Rumble etc. I think other DAWs are better at this.

Reason fantastic DAW but when i was using reason it wasn't support 3rd party plugins and i found switching between windows RACK MIXER SEQUENCER very difficult to deal with. Logic is very well known as second DAW to Pro Tools in major studios for a decade due to it's great stock sounds and plugins but opposite Pro Tools working with audio in Logic is a nightmare. FL Studio, Studio One, are great i just tried for a weeks or months so i don't know a lot about them even if i think Studio One is much like Logic if don't have a Mac computer is a mix of Pro Tools Logic and Cubase.
