The key commands also feel very quirky, at least on the Mac version.įor music production, Ableton is the most intuitive and fastest DAW. In FL studio, the main problem I have, is there are too many windows and too much to keep track of.

I have Lite already (came with my audio interface) but it lacks many features I'd like to have, so basically I have opened it like two times and closed it soon after and then went back to FL. Although I know the transition isn't going to be as big deal or huge amount of work as I now think it is. I've been procrastinating because it seems so frustrating to basically learn everything you know again in different environment. I've thought about changing to Ableton because it really seems like it suits my needs much better than FL. I think what helped me the most was the info view. I started using Live exclusively when it reached version 4. Nathannn wrote:I used Fl from version 2 until version 6 at which time I was switching between both Live and Fl. I would really like to just use live, but the development is geared towards what is happening now in popular music rather than what is happening in ALL music and what may happen in the future. My needs now have outgrown Live's simple features and I only use it to open up old projects or when Im using synths within a static tempo. Or just dive in, make a song and look up videos on functions when you get stuck. If I was starting out now I would watch videos that explain all the functions of the interface before watching any 'how to create a specific genera' video's'. It was so intuitive that I really didn't need videos on how to use live, I could have used videos on how to get an ear for eq and compression though. I used to imagine the effects view as a guitarists pedal board. Live came to me pretty easy, It was all drag and drop with effects and instruments and seemed like it was made by musicians (which it was). Back then videos on how to use live were scarce so I used info view, read the manual, and asked questions on here when stuck.
