FL Studio vs. Ableton vs. Logic vs. ...

[algorhythm]

I think it'd be a good thing for new producers especially to see what DAW's are used the most and what else is out there that no one expect's to be used.

[poisonstings]

Good idea.

[MifzanHerawan]

this is nice ! i actually thought this would be that kind of thread where everyone would defend their own DAW and try to bash all other haha

[BrienWithAnE]

Also a good idea to see what DAWs people on this specific forum are using

Kind of surprised to see that many FL's. A lot of the people that post "how to's" or people explaining its usually with Ableton and plugins that are only on ableton. Interesting!

I can´t choose one. I am currently playing around with Maschine, FL, and ALS, all at once.  It really depends what I am trying to do.

reason (bit expensive since you have to buy a lot of the functionality. serves as a great secret weapon though).
reaper.
and i have ableton (probably going to stop at 9 because it does what i want it to do even at eight).

Reason is alright, thought it's not as precise as reaper and it doesn't offer what ableton has (even though you can get those same things with a bit of thinking), but i like it. I really started using it heavily a few years back and haven't wanted to change. I think the big thing i like about it is that it consolidates stuff for you with out having to go through separate menus. Plus it's really stable.

FLstudio 11. The layout is dark and the piano roll is the best I've used.

I'm also pretty excited to see how Bitwig will be in a year or so. If you've used ableton or reason it should be a pretty easy switch.

I switched from FL11 to Bitwig, and although it wasn't an easy move, it was straightforward once I got how the composition view works, at this point I manage to prefer it over FL Studio's playlist view, to me it manages to feel a lot more 'freeing' compared to the pattern system. Mix view is also something I've ended up preferring over FL's mixing.

In the end though, FL's Piano Roll is still a very insane, I will never lose my love for FL Studio

[IsaacHarris]

the work flow in FL studio is insane.

I use FL Studio, but if I had the opportunity I would absolutely switch to Cubase right away. It just offers you so much more functionality to make your life easier and its PDC works far better than FL's from what I've experienced. Not every DAW is the same unfortunately.

[Brandon Kollaja]

Ableton is the way to go, you won't regret it when you get the swing of it.

[Danyella]

I don't dislike any DAW (I own several), but I've been using FL Studio for about 8 years now and I've just never had a reason to switch to anything else, it just works for me.
