Logic vs Ableton
Hey guys,
So i'm trying to get into a bit of production and can't decide whether to go with Ableton or Logic as my main DAW.
Recently i've been messing around with a version of Ableton Live I got with my Novation soundcard and have been pretty impressed with it. Unfortunately, it is really limited due to it being a Lite version.
I've also heard that when it comes to production, Logic is the way to go. Supposedly the sound quality is better and it offers more professional mixing and mastering features than Ableton.
On the other hand, results seem to be achieved a lot quicker using Ableton and Logic is supposed to have a bitch of a learning curve.
I'm not sure what one to choose and I wouldn't be able to afford both.
Does anybody use either or both of these???
How do the 2 compare???
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Logic is really great, but from what I have heared, it has a very steep learning curve.
Ableton Live might be the tool to start out with from these two.
You'd be amazed how far you can get with Ableton.
I know I sound biased, but for me Ableton perfectly fits my way of production workflow.

Honestly, I think that Logic Express would be enough, unless you plan on doing film scoring or anything really advanced, Logic Pro might be a bit much for starting.
But that's just from what I've been told. Ableton Live seems like a great choice to start. The learning curve can be steep, but it is with almost everything.

i think it really depends on what type of music you produce, whether you want to record audio, work with midi etc...
i use reason, simply because i dont record audio, and the instruments in reason suit the kind of music i produce, i've had experience with logic, and well i prefered reason.
at the end of the day id go for the software that most suits what you want it for.
easy...

Why not use both I have been and am super happy . Then again if you're startin out just figure out Ableton and you'll be straight . Try pickin up Massive and or FM8 and you'll be set with a killer set up .
