I'm looking to get into production and am torn between Ableton and Logic Pro X. I won't be using the software for live performances. I also have a friend who uses Logic Pro X so I could learn a thing or two from him. Any advice?

I have finally came round to production in Logic Pro X and find it a blessing.
I came from Ableton, loving the product but CPU loads and thin sounds were pushing me back. Did some research, comparing ProTools, Cubase 7.5 and Logic Pro X and finally ended up with Logic Pro X.
So if anyone wants to buy my Cubase 7.5 full license, it's up for sale.

I appreciate the feedback. I think I'm gonna go with Logic. Any suggestions on a midi keyboard/controller for it?
I will hopefully be stuck with the same dilemma soon. I've been back and forth between Logic + Machine Studio vs Ableton + Push. Ableton seems to have great tutorials and perhaps is better for pre-production ideas. I'm a bit disconcerted over Logic's 10.0.7 update which seems rather buggy from the reviews in App Store.

Lots of maintenance releases since original release, fixing bugs and such. The general opinion I've gotten from my reading numerous sites is it's far overpriced for V1 as it's not really ready yet.
RE: OP, I'd say download the trials of both and see which workflow suits you better. For me, Ableton did the trick, but I went another DAW first thinking it would work only to be frustrated beyond all means and not really get into production until I made the switch. No need dropping $300 - $500 on something that's only going to frustrate you. Even if it means going with something where you don't have a friend that can show you the ropes.
