**Which One To Choose? Logic or Ableton???**

[rjw]

I've used both, Ableton is much better for me. I find you can throw down ideas a lot lot faster and the whole workflow is just more intuitive!

You can make good sounding stuff in either, it's just a case of which you find most comfortable and FUN to use! so, demo them and find out ftw....

So I've been checking checking online some more and I think I might be leaning towards Logic at the moment. I'm using a MBP at the moment so in a way it just seems logical?

i wouldnt let the fact you use a mac sway your decision. i use ableton on mac at work and pc at home and its great on both (and i like the fact i can use it on both OS)

out of all the things you said on the original post ableton covers those the best: quick to learn, fun and pro sounding

also a thing to consider is you can integrate ableton into your dj'ing setup

at the end of the day just play with the demos and see what you like the most, i know producers releasing stuff using fruity loops, its what you feel most comfortable with...

id say live intro would be a cheap way to get started with an upgrade path to the full version...

I am going to chip in with a vote for Ableton.
Although I admit I don't use Logic, I've got a lot of respect for the app and the producers that use it.

It might just be me but I see a lot more resources and tutorials (videos / blogs/ producer homepages) for ableton available online if that's something you are interested in. (although again to be fair you can transfer general sound engineering / production skills across software)

I love the way you can build up racks of instruments and effects in ableton after a while it seems so simple yet so powerful and flexible.

in conclusion I am 60% in favour of Ableton

Ableton Live because of the session view. Makes it more like an instrument for me, especially with the Launchpad.
