| Sammie Okeeffe 11.02.2011 | I was using Fl studio and about 5 year ago found Ableton... never turned back!! it does everything you want it to do and more! |
| Verona Fashbaugh 09.02.2011 | I was gonna suggest possibly looking at FL Studio, because that's pretty much what I tell everyone who asks this question. But since youre running OSX, I guess Ableton might be the way to go! |
| Esmeralda Metro 09.02.2011 | Thanks for the advice guys. I'm believeing ill buy ableton, cos it seems like it could be my best bet. |
| Carlee Pickard 10.02.2011 | Honestly I had to go through the same process when I started out, and I realized after much research and chatter with a few other people that they all have their pros and cons. In the end it's whatever you feel most comfortable with. I personally chose Ableton simply because DJTT is my second house and a lot of people seem to discuss more about Ableton on here, therefor for me it seemed as if it was a no brainer. So I chose Ableton, and have not regretted it, however I have not used it much as I focus mainly on DJing and when I want to produce something I mostly drum out my stuff on Maschine. And I got a cheaper copy off of Craigslist. However, our circumstances could be extremely different, but I do believe both Ableton and Logic have cheaper versions that you can acquire to see whether or not you wanna take the few hundred dollar plunge into the program. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 09.02.2011 | Ableton seems to be a really good tool for those moving from DJing into production, since it's not a total change of workflow. |
| Clay Donaldson 09.02.2011 | Ableton has a very easy and intuitive work flow, whereas Logic (Express) is pretty complicated imo. Especially when it comes to samples and remixes Ableton is def the better tool. |
| Esmeralda Metro 09.02.2011 | Haha yeah, im not really a thief. I have been using garageband for the last year or so. And i have played on reason a fair bit. Reason however doesnt really allow remixing that easily. Im believeing abelton now, i found i have a hundred dollars off voucher, so its most likely my best bet. |
| Leeanna Ayla 07.02.2011 | First off let me applaud you for not just torrenting everything out there. Logic Express would be a good start. I'm not sure how it compares to light versions of Abelton though. You could also do some stuff in Garage Band. |
