Typically, I’m doing the final product myself. So, when the time comes to move sessions back and forth, it’s really easy to do so.

If I have a full song: the beat is done, the artist laid vocals down, and all I need to do is go in and mix, fine tune, and freshen it up I use Pro Tools for that. It’s genius and I think that’s why they have so much of the market share. You buy FL Studio once and you got that for life. Another thing about FL Studio that I love is the lifetime upgrades. So, if you’re a clicker and not much of a piano player or finger drummer, FL Studio is perfect for that. But if you want to get a little quirky with it, you can easily shift the notes around or shift the velocities and make something groove just from clicking in too.

If you click in the boxes, it’s easy to be on the grid and since most Trap music nowadays is on the grid, it’s perfect for that. With the timing features in channel rack, you can get crazy grooves. And then you can convert from channel rack to piano roll. You can make crazy drum patterns, and quickly. I love all the tools on the bottom bar to handle panning, timing, velocity in one area. It’s meant for that.ĭrum programming in FL Studio is amazing. I like how you can resize different images. The piano roll is so intuitive and smooth. And it feels fun making beats in FL studio. The first thing I like about FL Studio is its graphics. It just doesn’t have the workflow I prefer for recording vocals. I know you can record vocals in it, but personally this isn’t the DAW for me to do that. FL StudioįL Studio is an amazing DAW for making beats. There’s probably a lot of stuff I am miss, but Ableton is by far my top DAW.

Recording audio and sound design is amazing too. Ableton is also great for integrating with external hardware. Ableton is the only DAW I’d use for live performing. I know a lot of people don’t care too much about clip view when they’re producing, for for live performances clip view is amazing.

If you hit tab you can get between your mixer, your audio and you have clip view. But for me, Ableton is still the fastest and most flexible. Maybe I’m biased because Ableton is the DAW I’ve used the most and for the longest time. I don’t have to mess around with resizing things. I don’t have a million things open all at once. And when I open it, it’s just that main window. Ableton can feel a bit sterile and cold, but I don’t mind that. It looks very clean to me, but I can see why people would criticize it after using something like FL Studio that is very animated and smooth. Personally, I’ve grown to like the look of Ableton. I know a lot of people look at Ableton and say it’s too difficult, and that’s because of the look of it.

In FL studio, the main problem I have, is there are too many windows and too much to keep track of. These do not influence editorial content, though Blogs That Knock may earn commissions for products purchased via affiliate links. Blogs That Knock has affiliate partnerships.
