But, the way that the CPU handles audio, it tends to max out frequently. The performance seems to be worse in some ways although it doesn’t crash like some other DAW’s. What I don’t like about Pro Tools is its performance. And in Pro Tools you can have several master channels. Some people think it’s difficult, but it’s really simple. Pro Tools workflow is amazing for that kind of surgical editing. You don’t have to scroll around and do all this stuff. It’s like a snapshot of wherever you want to go in your session. If I want to show a certain part of the song, I can hit a key command and go right to that part. And with the S key, it’ll remove all the audio after the point where your cursors at. With key commands, I can hit the A key and it will remove all the audio from that point and before. Once I learned Pro Tools, after knowing Ableton, I went back into Pro Tools and I saw that Ableton was likely inspired by the workflow in Pro Tools. Mixing effects and audio editing in Pro Tools is the best. Why doesn’t Ableton and FL Studio do that? It’s so amazing to bring one effect in ten instances with one click. If I want to take an effect and drag it across all the tracks, I hold down two keys, drag the plug in and it’s on every channel. So, if I’m working with another engineer or mastering engineer, it doesn’t matter if I’m using Ableton because I can just bounce the stems. Typically, I’m doing the final product myself. So, when the time comes to move sessions back and forth, it’s really easy to do so. If I have a full song: the beat is done, the artist laid vocals down, and all I need to do is go in and mix, fine tune, and freshen it up I use Pro Tools for that. It’s genius and I think that’s why they have so much of the market share. You buy FL Studio once and you got that for life. Another thing about FL Studio that I love is the lifetime upgrades. So, if you’re a clicker and not much of a piano player or finger drummer, FL Studio is perfect for that. But if you want to get a little quirky with it, you can easily shift the notes around or shift the velocities and make something groove just from clicking in too. If you click in the boxes, it’s easy to be on the grid and since most Trap music nowadays is on the grid, it’s perfect for that. With the timing features in channel rack, you can get crazy grooves. And then you can convert from channel rack to piano roll. You can make crazy drum patterns, and quickly. I love all the tools on the bottom bar to handle panning, timing, velocity in one area. It’s meant for that.ĭrum programming in FL Studio is amazing. I like how you can resize different images. The piano roll is so intuitive and smooth. And it feels fun making beats in FL studio. The first thing I like about FL Studio is its graphics. It just doesn’t have the workflow I prefer for recording vocals. I know you can record vocals in it, but personally this isn’t the DAW for me to do that. FL StudioįL Studio is an amazing DAW for making beats. There’s probably a lot of stuff I am miss, but Ableton is by far my top DAW. Recording audio and sound design is amazing too. Ableton is also great for integrating with external hardware. Ableton is the only DAW I’d use for live performing. I know a lot of people don’t care too much about clip view when they’re producing, for for live performances clip view is amazing. If you hit tab you can get between your mixer, your audio and you have clip view. But for me, Ableton is still the fastest and most flexible. Maybe I’m biased because Ableton is the DAW I’ve used the most and for the longest time. I don’t have to mess around with resizing things. I don’t have a million things open all at once. And when I open it, it’s just that main window. Ableton can feel a bit sterile and cold, but I don’t mind that. It looks very clean to me, but I can see why people would criticize it after using something like FL Studio that is very animated and smooth. Personally, I’ve grown to like the look of Ableton. I know a lot of people look at Ableton and say it’s too difficult, and that’s because of the look of it. The key commands also feel very quirky, at least on the Mac version.įor music production, Ableton is the most intuitive and fastest DAW. In FL studio, the main problem I have, is there are too many windows and too much to keep track of.
