Haha, good point, I use Traktor for DJing, and route the audio into Ableton. I then use Ableton for launching samples, oneshots, and adding effects. | Nedra Fresneda

But if you get Ableton Live youll probably enjoy it more, and can use it for producing, AND DJing.

They'll have a hard time figuring out what sound is coming from where, and how things are being automated. In Ableton the workflow places all of the most important things right in front of you. No more tracing what FX channel is going where, or seeing instrument tracks that don't appear to do anything.
Ableton may appear to be more intimidating at first, but it isn't. The improved workflow makes the program a lot easier to learn. Go through the built in 5 minute tutorials, and you'll know almost everything you need.

I believe alot those other pieces of software will be tough to understand right off the bat.
I agree, I remix and produce with FL, and while it's not considered "Professional", It only took a month to learn, and if you know how to mix and produce, you can get professional songs, just check out my soundcloud | Glady Newby

19.01.2011 | I'm really starting to get sick of this whole what daw/synth/software should I use thing. So I'm just going to keep this short and simple. This is what you want:
Ableton Live 8
Native Instruments Massive
Lennar Digital Sylenth1 | Meg Reinoehl
18.01.2011 | ^^ What he said. Most of the major DAWs have downloadable demos. Reaper/Live/Sonar/Studio One all have downloadable demos that you can use to see which suits you best. Cubase/Nuendo and Logic do not. All of them pretty much provide you same feature set and plug-ins, but the main difference between them all are the workflows. So spend some time with the demos and see which DAW fits you best. | Harley Hendzel
15.01.2011 | pick a few DAWs you've already heard of and demo them.
as far as synth advice, read up on learning how to program a synth. start with subtractive, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_synthesis"]Subtractive synthesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] |
