Production software: Ableton 9 vs Logic Pro x (or anything else) Posted on: 17.07.2013 by Bethann Olortegui A typically vague question but I'm looking at getting into production and wanted to get some opinion to help decide what DAW to get.I'm naturally leaning towards Logic as I'm a little more familiar with it (some of my friends use it so I have that support network too), however I'm a little concerned about support going forward. Isn't Logic Pro X supposed to be the last version from Apple? Ableton (plus others) seems to be getting stronger and stronger in terms of development. I hear that the learning curve may be steeper/longer but the software is capable of a lot more. This may be a better long-term investment. I suppose if anyone can offer up some helpful pros/cons on or advice to supplement my own research I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance | |

| Bethann Olortegui 18.07.2013 | Thanks for the feedback. Seeing as I'm only dabbling I believe Logic is going to be the best (logical?) route. Can't really justify the cost of Ableton at the moment. Although is it worth getting Intro? |
| Nedra Fresneda 17.07.2013 | Logic X is the latest version. Keep it mind it will only work with 10.8.4 and up and it only takes 64b plugins. |
| Ervin Calvery 17.07.2013 | Both are great - I'm an Ableton head but I also use Logic and Pro Tools. If you're in to Max/MSP, Ableton wins hands-down because of Max for Live. |
| Monserrate Rupnow 17.07.2013 | Either one will be a great choice, they are both excellent and well supported with lots of user tutorials online. Live can be a little easier to learn, and it can be used... well Live. Logic has a lot more content and is much cheaper over all. |
