Ableton --> Logic

[jedkleb]

Using Ableton now. Wanna switch to Logic just to try it. Also the macbook + logic seem better because Ableton is lagging when my set gets big. I don't think learning Logic will be too much of an issue. Does Logic Pro 9 have everything Ableton does? Im mainly looking for the Eq's and compressor's logic have because the quality of them is good. Also the preset sounds are better.
Thanks,
Jed

Yes and no. It doesn't launch clips, obviously, and the closest thing it has to MIDI effects is buried in the Environment window, which is asinine and kind of pointless, though I'm told it's really powerful if you can wrap your head around it.

It's got some awesome features and, other than those 2 things, is IMHO easier and faster than Live at basically everything...as long as you don't rely on those midi effects.

Funny, I'm on the complete reverse. I'm looking at changing from Logic Pro which I've used for years and putting some time into Ableton Live. In response to the question I think you will love Logic. Very easy to get on with. Just know now, not for Live purposes.

Im in the exact same boat, seen that logic is now app-only and only $200 is a steal, considering selling my ableton lisense for it

I think I'm making the move to logic as well from ableton.

And what makes you think it will be any different with Logic in this aspect?

Figure I ask the question since the topic is on here. I want to do my own re-rubs and remixes. Is Ableton or Logic the best to use? How about Cubase and Fruityloops?

Thanks!

They can all do it. There's isn't a best.

This sums it up. The fact that there producers around the world have "made it big" using every software out there is proof that it doesn't really matter. They have different layouts, and what one person prefers another one may not. Don't choose a software because it's what everyone else is using, pick one that's best suited for you.
