Best program for beginner in producing?

A lot of artists end up switching to ableton so..

I started with FL Studio....the plug ins are good for a lot electro sounds but to me it was meh......

I then tried and still use Ableton Live 8 Suite for remixes and mashups. After you learn the basics, there's a plethora of options at your fingertips.

For the bulk of my production work, I've since moved onto Logic Pro.....why? I liked the workflow and the sound you get is first class studio quality!

I chose my DAW based on workflow and how quickly I can get to work and my down what I want.....just try them before committing to one.

I have been hanging with my buddy who has been using logic and I can see how you would like it better. I think the arrangement view is awesome and ableton could take a lesson or two from it.

Logic is cheap and has lots of tools. Ableton Live is very good for loop-clip based EDM. Ouch. I've used both since 2003 or whenever Live 2.1 was released (my memory is blurry)...

If you go in blind, you'll give up on anything after 5 minutes.
