Reply to Looking for guidance on where to start

Hey all,
looking for some guidance on producing music and where to start. Short background: got an s4 recently, started mixing alot with my roommate, love it, and now I want to try and get into production. Got a trial for ableton and was very overwhelmed by everything and didn't really know where to start so I started doing lots of research online about ableton tutorials as well as other production softwares. lately, i've been trying to figure out if maschine or ableton would fit my needs better and after reading many different community s on ableton vs maschine i still can't really seem to figure out the difference so I have come to the DJTT community s seeking some guidance from you all.
It seems like many people use both and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses but i still feel pretty confused about everything
What I'm going for: I really just want to get a good start into production and find a software/hardware combination that allows me to produce all different types of electronic music.
So, with all that said, is there a clear winner that would better suit my needs as an aspiring producer, or do they each have production capabilities with different strengths and weaknesses as I have read already?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but again, I tried googling this topic and didn't really feel like I got a definitive answer.
