⭐Win $500 as a giveaway card that you can spend on any studio equipment that you like. Just comment what you would spend it on below for your chance to win!
I would use a the half of the giveaway to get a new Soundcard for less of my own money and i would spend the other half for one on one teaching lessons with Fabio 😊 And btw, for me Ableton is the best DAW because of the structure and the creative workflow Best regards, Alxandr.Fikk
I‘d finally get some good monitor headphones because my old AKG aren‘t the best and my shitty PA soundsystem is actually the worst for proper producing/mixing 🙄
I would use the giveaway card for good studio monitors because I don't have proper ones and most of the time I work on my headphones which is not the best option. Thank you for the great chance and video content. Good luck to everyone and happy holidays :)
For those coming to this video it's a super great comparison of 2 awesome DAWs. There was an update to logic like a month after this video to logic that fixed 2 issues boombox had. - sub folders are available in logic now - groove pools are also basically implemented in something called Groove Templates now
I use Ableton and have done since I started making music. Tried FL and Logic and I can’t click with them as well as Ableton. There’s still so many features I learn about the DAW which keeps it fresh. I’d use the giftcard to purchase acoustic treatment for my room and maybe some extra plugins. Thank you for providing this opportunity for the community.
have you ever considered building acoustic treatment it yourself? it requires some patience and basic carpentry skills but you end up with something awesome!
I have used Ableton since its 7th iteration. I used logic x for a little while. I have used Fl studio also. Logic, to me, felt very constricting, fl studio felt like a toy, while Ableton is just chef's kiss.
For me it's Ableton for the simple reason that I started making music with and I'm a master of it now. I feel good with it and I don't see any reasons to switch for now. But Logic has such a powerful tools and very nice stock plug in. Peaaaaace from Paris!
At 4:53, you have to push Fn + F9 because you have the keys set to use the Keyboard Shortcuts functions by default so holding down Fn tells the computer you actually want to use F9 instead of the fast forward shortcut. You can switch it around and have the F9 functionality by default by going to System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard > and check the box for “Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys”. Then you can still use the shortcuts by pressing Fn. Much more useful that way for actually working.
Haha that intro is so good! I love Ableton so much and I’ve used logic at times too. But to me Ableton is the most flexible and user friendly DAW there is. Saving your vocal chains/FX Chains etc, having the search bar and just the overall workflow is super smooth. Makes it easy to keep creating rather than being stuck in menus constantly.
Ableton because you can save instrument racks. It was also the easiest to learn for me. If i get the possibility to spend 500$ on new music gear it would probably went into Headphones and the leftovers in plug-ins. ❤️
If I got the $500 sponsorship for my studio, I would probably buy a pair of studio monitors in order to mix my songs better than on my heaphones and to have a clearer mix in my room. The second thing that I would buy is: an Audio Interface, because now, I just plug my headphones output and microphone and guitar inputs into my PC, however my PC is not the best in playing and recording audio straight into my daw. The third thing what I'd buy is a Digital Audio Workstation, but I don't know if it still counts as studio gear... But anyways, I really really enjoyed todays podcast and everything went really smooth and the jokes were absolutely hilarious! Keep it up guys! I am your 18 subscriber (And im really proud of that) and I wish you the best in reaching the milestones and your goals! ❤❤❤
I just got a Macbook pro with the M1. My main goal is to record, mix, and EQ my own vocals. I’m into stacking harmonies, so I end up with tons of tracks (often 80+) Would I have a better experience working with Logic Pro or Ableton? I also have a Roland Juno that I’d like to play around with from a midi perspective. What do you all suggest?
Personally I would say Logic Pro is much better for audio processing - easier and caters towards the type of project you're working on. Roland Juno 106 is an amazing synth would definitely recommend!
I use Ableton and FL Studio because I can't afford Logic lol. but tbh I love both of them, Ableton has this feature of Arrangement and Session View which I adore, and FL Studio has the ungodly nostalgic factor that still makes me use it♥️😌
I produce in Logic and love it, but Ableton seems better for certain genres of music and can do some awesome stuff. While logic's midi engine and time warping seems more powerful, both DAWs are great, but pro tools dwarfs them both for professional recording! I would use $500 to help me afford an SSL Big 6ix so I can start using outboard gear in my home setup! Thanks so much for doing this :)
they definitely have pros and cons - I love the audio processing in logic but it's so easy to get ideas together in Ableton. SSL Big 6ix sounds dope as hell!!
You’re smoking crack. Pro Tools sucks. Almost every DAW our now is better than Pro Tools. Only reason some studios even use it still is because they’ve invested so much time, money and energy into it. Pro Tools won’t even be around much longer if they don’t adapt. They literally suck compared to modern DAWs.
Nice review! I’d LOVE to find a comparison video that factors in which features can be approximated with third party solutions and which are irreplaceable. For example, maybe you could use NI’s transient shaper in place of ableton’s transient warp mode, but the quality of life feature of having it available for every audio clip (and easily automated) gives ableton an edge. Or maybe ableton users can grab melodyne instead of Logic’s flex pitch, although if ARA 2 isn’t supported the editing process is a lot more tedious.
amazing video, it seems like logic provides with a more visually comfortable workspace whereas ableton is into more technical and mature user interface, at the end i am still confused. Regarding the giveaway, well i'm just starting my music journey so i would invest in a sound card preferably ID4, i'll buy my friend's mic and start making some good music
I love Logic, my brain just functions better seeing that layout, while Ableton has some cool features and I’ve been thinking about switching (also for live performance I’m much more convinced about Ableton). Cool video, and loving the chance to get some support to buy a new interface and a pair of closed-back headphones. These are what I’d spend the $500 on. :)
I use Ableton live! I've tried Logic and FL studio, but i personally find easier the workflow on Ableton. I think it permits you to do stuff really quickly and its stock plug-ins are really high quality! But in my opinion the Daw use is really subjective, someone can find easier logic, other ones Fl, others prefer Cubase.. If I'd have the chance to win those 500€ I'll definitely use them to upgrade my sound system, good pair of monitors+ headphones! The quality of sound you produce is massively impacted by how you hear in my opinion!
In Ableton, you can set any key to the rec button (as well as many others). Just press cmd+K and Ableton will highlight every button that can be assigned a new key. Just click on the button and then push the key you want and then press esc - you're done. The only issue is that they are not saved globally and are tied to a set. So I recommend you create a new set, set the keys, and then make it your default set. Or if you already have a custom default one just upgrade it with new mappings and save it as default again.
I played around with Ableton for 8 years. I would always hit a roadblock and get frustrated. And it was easy to give up and come back another day. I switched to Logic Pro 3 months ago and I am already way more competent than I was after 8 years of Ableton. it’s way more logical to my brain
I chose Logic because I have a mac and had been using Garageband prior. I also just really love the alchemy layout! If I win the 500 dollar gift card I would probably put it towards Omnisphere and some other software, maybe studio monitors instead.
@@NoizeLondon No, but I LOVE FINNEAS style productions and most of the synths he uses are Omnishpere. I've been able to copy a lot of the synths, but I'd love to be able to use the software!
Honestly, millions of people love each of these DAWs. They're different in many ways, so folks can choose the one that works better for _them._ It's like saying, Which is the best country, or which is the best occupation... Don't choose your DAW from someone's comparison list, choose based on how you prefer to work.
Hello Fabio, just found out your channel thanks to this video, very informative, clean without being too serious. Keep up! For me it's Ableton, because of the non destructive audio warping, which is great for my genre (hip hop) and my style, heavily based on samples. I don't know if the giveaway still going, if so I'd use that 500$ for a good thunderbolt audio interface because I've recently switched to Mac.
I use abelton but I recently got the mpc2 daw and I’m diggin it … but in my opinion …. Abelton is cool because it brings out the musicianship and creativity … abelton has the sounds and great plug ins but u gotta get in there and put it together from scratch ✅
I’ve been really enjoying learning production in Ableton Live 11. So far the workflow has been really intuitive and everything just feels really nice to use. I also love finding out new depth that I didn’t know was there (like the warp tool which is still a mystery)
For making Disco/ house inspired music which of the two DAW's do you think suits best. I've done a lot of scrolling and am swinging more to Ableton 11 but am still undecided!
It's logic for me because I think it has definitely the best user interface of all daws and the 500$ i would spend on a pair of Adam audio studio monitors or new synth plug ins like sylenth or etc.
for Hip Hop producers FL Studio is an atomic bomb that can takes any demo into a banger and makes the difference when hitting any listener's ear. for Djs and EDM producers Ableton Live is a game changer that makes you feel like you're driving a Bugatti or Ferrari while you're producing an Ibiza summer hit. for film composers nothing can come closer to the power of Steinberg Cubase who wrote the history on its MIDI capability. for POP producers and mixing Engineers Pro Tools it's a holy thing and It is forbidden for you to questioning it's abilities even if a very few of them sold pro tools and now they swear by Reaper or S1. for Apple's fan base you can't compare their Music Production flagship Logic that many famous Pop Producers & Songwriters or even some big EDM names who hit the top billboard charts many times still believe that Logic played the major roll in their career and it is the best when it comes to songwriting due to its high quality stock sounds and Drummer feature that makes any songwriter happy with it. at the end this DAWs war never end. major DAWs are well known nowadays. so my advice is... pick one and try it for a couple of weeks or months if you don't like it try another one until you find what you're comfortable with then you have to stick with it. because changing your DAW can hold you back and therefore can affect your musical career, your DAW is the most important component that everything else can build around, and over the years you can complete it with second DAW to make certain things that seems to be easy and has much better results.
Love your breakdown of these DAWs. You're so right tho, no matter which DAW you chose, the DAW is the gateway to all other things and can really be a road block until you learn the ins and outs of whichever DAW you stick with
i used FL ,used Ableton Live , went to Logic pro x cause i couldnt record vocals with ableton there was a trick with the auto/off , made a lot of albums with Logic but i see that it copies Ableton and since i now know how to record without latency my vocals/guitar i m going back to Ableton Live cause it's the hot shit , great instruments ,samples , environment ,feels like a futuristic daw and definitely it will become more and more better through the years to come . Love it , i ll still have Logic as my back up daw you never know :)
I would use the $500 for acoustic treatment, not only to help me hear things more clearly, but to keep my terrible, terrible music from spilling out into the outside world. For the DAW battle, they’re both great and I use both, but I do prefer Ableton as I think it has a slight edge in terms of creative possibilities!
I started with logic when it was emagic but after Apple kept upgrading their computers and Logic started needing more resources which my computer doesn’t have, I switched to Ableton and I’m just flowing with out the overload hiccups. Apple being Apple
Which is the BEST DAW? FL Studio! 😂 Jokes aside, just saw the title... I use FL for 21 years, so of course is the best for me! This days the best daw is the one that suits your workflow! Cheers, great video!
I really love using Logic Pro since I’ve got a MacBook and have been using GarageBand before that which was very easy for me to use! I’m really comfortable with the logic user interface! If I win $500, I’ll upgrade my headphones and will also buy an AI .
I use Ableton and so does my gf who is a techno dj! I myself am a video producer so I would absolutely upgrade my recording equipment! My mic recently started to include some noise in the recordings so im afraid its dying. Also would get an actual audio interface with 4 or more inputs instead of one lol. But 500,- is a lot so maybe ill get some audio for my girl aswell hehe, would be a good surprise!
Ableton live! If you can think it there’s a way to do it. I’d spend the $500 on some new quality UK garage sample, massive and some other juicy plugins x
This is the only way to work with Ableton. Adjusting levels while arranging and building the song makes the whole mastering thing at the end pretty simple.
I'm the same, I just wait patiently for them to implement some features, instead of switching to another DAW (or even getting 3rd party plugs sometimes).
Learned production in Logic (before Apple owned it) I frequently use Ableton because alot of my colleagues use it. I'm personally Pro Tools for life though!
LOGIC is the best mainly because it’s cheap. For me it would have been logic or no daw at all LMAO And im not going through another learning curve anytime soon ❤
I use to make my own quantise template for logic. but it was MANY years ago and I have forgotten how. but im sure if you searched there will be a way. The simpler.. I think back to the old bows who taught you to produce with your ears and not with graphs. so I don't see that as a win personally. the ESM has been around since Logic was owned by emagic.. I was using it in Logic 4.. I still have it xD Great vid! I thought the future comparison was very interesting! Peronally I have ableton, how it look is the first thing. but then the learning curve needed to just get basics down I don't think enhance the workflow at all after you know what you are doing. Logic is by far much nicer to look at and as I have been using it since V2 I have very comfortable. so I cant say its better. I have uninstalled ableton more times than I can count xD as after a hour of just wanting to get a idea down I find my self asking the question "why are they doing this like this?"
Hi Fabio, I'd spend the money firstly on a good sound card for recordings, for the materials to build up a small recording booth, i'll save the rest of the money for an electric drum kit. I really hope to win them. Best regards!
Nice Video :) I started using Ableton some months ago and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for giving us the chance to win a 500$ gift card! I already have a lot of stuff I would love to spend it on: A guitar rack, an Acoustic screen (the thing you put around microphones, don't know the English word..) and a nice Grid-Controller, maybe the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3! And if there's still some money left I would have a look around for some good Guitar pedals and amps :) Cheers Robert
I'm an Fl studio user but i was planning on trying Logic as soon as i buy and iMac. Anyway i would defintely use the 500$ to buy a new pair of monitors or a better pair of headphones💪🏻
@@watchboombox to me It seemed one of the most intuitive and at the time was the one with most tutorials on TH-cam. So i chose it because i didn't have any friends who were producers and i thought FL studio was the easiest to learn by myself. Then lifetime free updates were another great point in his favour
I would definietly buy Boombox premium, one of the best helpers for producing, especially, when I want to produce for an artist pretty far away (happens regularly), or I want to be ready for our recording session with my ideas. Because Im a student, I haven't got much money, (neither my parents) but I'm in the "producing world" for 5 years, and I always wanted to have better equipments, but I could only afford 1 update in a year. I'm growing slow, but steady. With this I could finally have a studio mic (for my recordings I've been using my friend's), an Audio Technica AT2020. I would like to have a microphone stand, a pair of studio speakers, and better sound proofing equipment. It would be the biggest grow in my carrier, and the biggest step towards my dream to become a producer, songwriter🥰😍 And also my favourite DAW is Logic, but sadly yet it is just a dream, but whenever I watch videos about producing, its just simply satisfying to see how usable this DAW is, how clean, and especially for the vocal comping, recording, it has the best features. Its simply magical ✨
Thanks for sharing Peter!! You know that the free boombox account comes with 10gb :) Sounds like you got all the right goals in place - keep pushing and believing in yourself - one day you'll look back and won't believe how far you've come!
I've come to the conclusion that you can't go wrong with either and you can all the same stuff in both. However, I'd choose logic if recording audio and mixing is the priority and I'd choose ableton if producing electronic music and writing tracks from scratch was the priority. and if all of those are a priority go with the one that looks better to you.
In my opinion, Logic Pro is better. Ableton is great for finishing tracks quickly and easily (and of course is the only DAW that is fantastic for live performance), but it lacks the depth of options and intuition of Logic. I know plenty of folks will say otherwise, but having trained in both, Logic is the DAW I now always open and use, so for me Logic retains the crown of best DAW (for now!) I’d spend the cash on (ironically given the above) on the Ableton push 2 to be able to perform the album I am about to release live!
I totally agree. I started out with garage band and logic then switched to ableton and finished faster tracks but not too good ones. At some point I got abit annoyed by ableton as it felt like a live performance and I went back to logic. Enjoy it so much.
Man I loved the video, great research and comparison!! Me I prefer Ableton since I just wanna stay part of the cult, that's for sure. I'd love to get myself a dreadbox nymphes with 500$, that thing slaps!!
Thanks so much Johny - been using both for a while now. I do think Logic is faster... but Ableton feels more fun somehow? oooo the dreadbox - great choice gonna be making some gnarly sounds with that!!
I'd spend 500$ 100% on Acoustic treatment or as 2nd choice I'd say a mic by Universal Audio so that I can start to record singers around me and try to get paid for it to get other studio equipment ahaha
It’s a good move had mines for like a year now but I wouldn’t recommend to someone with a very deep voice it sounds good with a mid range voices to high .
I completely agree. The Neumann's are great for bring a bassier more grounded tone to voices that lack it but can def be overkill on voices who carry that bass naturally.

I would spend the money on acoustic treatment and a new mic! I’ve got some vocals lying around that need to be recorded well.

For those coming to this video it's a super great comparison of 2 awesome DAWs. There was an update to logic like a month after this video to logic that fixed 2 issues boombox had.
- sub folders are available in logic now
- groove pools are also basically implemented in something called Groove Templates now
sub folders were actually possible ever since Logic added folders, but there was just a slightly convoluted way of creating them.
Logic has had Groove Templates since at least Logic 7.
I use Ableton and have done since I started making music. Tried FL and Logic and I can’t click with them as well as Ableton. There’s still so many features I learn about the DAW which keeps it fresh.

No need to switch if you already know Ableton so well - Logic is very good for recording sessions though - so if you ever do that... try it out :)
5:36 Logic has this exact feature too in the Track Inspector. Switch the Flex Mode to Slicing and below it, reduce the Slice Length to a lower value.
At 4:53, you have to push Fn + F9 because you have the keys set to use the Keyboard Shortcuts functions by default so holding down Fn tells the computer you actually want to use F9 instead of the fast forward shortcut. You can switch it around and have the F9 functionality by default by going to System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard > and check the box for “Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys”. Then you can still use the shortcuts by pressing Fn. Much more useful that way for actually working.
Or you can press command+k on mac or ctrl+k on windows to bring up keyboard mapping and map the record button to r or whatever button you prefer 😊
Logic has humanize also. That’s what I use for groove and swing. Logic also has legato function. Great video 🙌🏽.
Yeah the humanize function is so useful - shame there aren't more shuffle grooves though.
Great compare and contrast video. Been a Logic user for years and considering Ableton. Nicely done.
Awesome video! I gotta ask, what glasses are you wearing?
Haha that intro is so good! I love Ableton so much and I’ve used logic at times too. But to me Ableton is the most flexible and user friendly DAW there is. Saving your vocal chains/FX Chains etc, having the search bar and just the overall workflow is super smooth. Makes it easy to keep creating rather than being stuck in menus constantly.
You can also save your vocal chains in logic too
Thanks for sharing - great to see that everyone has their preferred workflow in their DAW. What other features do you use in Ableton?
Ableton because you can save instrument racks. It was also the easiest to learn for me.

4:08 yeah, it's a huge flaw for Apple (wtf stopped them from adding this)? I'm using plugsearch for this and it's kinda ok.
Ableton all the way here - I’d probably use the 500 to buy Ableton push, seems like it’s something that would help me out in production a lot!
great tool :)
for Hip Hop producers FL Studio is an atomic bomb that can takes any demo into a banger and makes the difference when hitting any listener's ear. for Djs and EDM producers Ableton Live is a game changer that makes you feel like you're driving a Bugatti or Ferrari while you're producing an Ibiza summer hit. for film composers nothing can come closer to the power of Steinberg Cubase who wrote the history on its MIDI capability. for POP producers and mixing Engineers Pro Tools it's a holy thing and It is forbidden for you to questioning it's abilities even if a very few of them sold pro tools and now they swear by Reaper or S1. for Apple's fan base you can't compare their Music Production flagship Logic that many famous Pop Producers & Songwriters or even some big EDM names who hit the top billboard charts many times still believe that Logic played the major roll in their career and it is the best when it comes to songwriting due to its high quality stock sounds and Drummer feature that makes any songwriter happy with it. at the end this DAWs war never end. major DAWs are well known nowadays. so my advice is... pick one and try it for a couple of weeks or months if you don't like it try another one until you find what you're comfortable with then you have to stick with it. because changing your DAW can hold you back and therefore can affect your musical career, your DAW is the most important component that everything else can build around, and over the years you can complete it with second DAW to make certain things that seems to be easy and has much better results.
Love your breakdown of these DAWs. You're so right tho, no matter which DAW you chose, the DAW is the gateway to all other things and can really be a road block until you learn the ins and outs of whichever DAW you stick with
You know I'm gonna say Logic Pro. :) Best DAW for the money. Although, I think we can all agree Pro Tools is the worst for the money.
Look out! Shots fired!
Cool comparison :)
I would definitely buy some proper studio monitor, this is the biggest lag in my setup...
and don't forget sound treatment :)
i used FL ,used Ableton Live , went to Logic pro x cause i couldnt record vocals with ableton there was a trick with the auto/off , made a lot of albums with Logic but i see that it copies Ableton and since i now know how to record without latency my vocals/guitar i m going back to Ableton Live cause it's the hot shit , great instruments ,samples , environment ,feels like a futuristic daw and definitely it will become more and more better through the years to come . Love it , i ll still have Logic as my back up daw you never know :)
The best Fabio! Love this showdown. I hope i can get me that new Minilab 3 by Arturia and a little analog synth to spare if i had $500⚡️
hell yeah!! which synth though?
@@NoizeLondon probs that little Roland ju-06 boutique synth. Had my eye on it for years!⚡️
I would spend the money for an analog synth, that would be crazy cool!! And nice video, I'm definitely team logic :)
ouuuu which synth you thinking of getting?
Not pretty sure yet...right now I am leaning towards the minilogue. Or maybe a deepmind, do you have recommendations under 1000$?
I’d say Ableton cause I’m such a fan of the minimal interface. So I’d buy that with the 500 😌
Great call on the minimal interface - it's def a sleeker look. :)
logic pro 10.7.5 you can add folder stack within folder stack
Very helpful! Thanks for the heads up on that :)
I would use the $500 for acoustic treatment, not only to help me hear things more clearly, but to keep my terrible, terrible music from spilling out into the outside world.
For the DAW battle, they’re both great and I use both, but I do prefer Ableton as I think it has a slight edge in terms of creative possibilities!
You're definitely right about the creative possibilities there.. espesh with the max for live tools
The intro to this video was so accurate 😂
I started with logic when it was emagic but after Apple kept upgrading their computers and Logic started needing more resources which my computer doesn’t have, I switched to Ableton and I’m just flowing with out the overload hiccups. Apple being Apple
Which is the BEST DAW? FL Studio! 😂
Jokes aside, just saw the title...
I use FL for 21 years, so of course is the best for me! This days the best daw is the one that suits your workflow!
Cheers, great video!
Lol The beginning was really funny, Great editing and info :)
I really love using Logic Pro since I’ve got a MacBook and have been using GarageBand before that which was very easy for me to use! I’m really comfortable with the logic user interface!
If I win $500, I’ll upgrade my headphones and will also buy an AI .
I use Ableton and so does my gf who is a techno dj! I myself am a video producer so I would absolutely upgrade my recording equipment! My mic recently started to include some noise in the recordings so im afraid its dying. Also would get an actual audio interface with 4 or more inputs instead of one lol. But 500,- is a lot so maybe ill get some audio for my girl aswell hehe, would be a good surprise!
I'm sure she's gonna love being involved !
@@NoizeLondon absolutely! When is the price draw btw! Curious now hehe!
Ableton live! If you can think it there’s a way to do it. I’d spend the $500 on some new quality UK garage sample, massive and some other juicy plugins x
In Ableton you can open the mixer window as a 2nd window.
This is the only way to work with Ableton. Adjusting levels while arranging and building the song makes the whole mastering thing at the end pretty simple.
I’m sorry but I will forever choose Logic Pro over any Daw 😂
Exactly The Same Here.
Facts
Sorry is right
For what reason? Currently deciding on what one to use
I'm the same, I just wait patiently for them to implement some features, instead of switching to another DAW (or even getting 3rd party plugs sometimes).
I actually used all daws but logic, right now I produce on fl but I do mixing/mastering on Studio One.
Btw love from 🇮🇹
Learned production in Logic (before Apple owned it) I frequently use Ableton because alot of my colleagues use it. I'm personally Pro Tools for life though!
how do you handle using ur sustain pedal on rough ideas
like where you might wanna move a chord or add another
@@teeuppzay I don't. I'm not a coherent piano player....wish I was but I'm not
LOGIC is the best mainly because it’s cheap. For me it would have been logic or no daw at all LMAO
And im not going through another learning curve anytime soon ❤
I’d spend it on a analog synth, I’ve been wishing that for myself for quite a while☺️
I think the moog minitaur is around that price... first monosynth I bought and it's epic
I love logic interface, i mean its so beautiful ,
If i get 500 dollar, i will buy my first ever microphone shure Sm7b, i have always dream of it
..the more I watch ableton tutorials the more I love logic x...10 y ago started on ableton switched to logic and never go back...😀
Is it true that Ableton doesn’t have a mixer view ?
I use to make my own quantise template for logic. but it was MANY years ago and I have forgotten how.
but im sure if you searched there will be a way.
The simpler.. I think back to the old bows who taught you to produce with your ears and not with graphs. so I don't see that as a win personally.
the ESM has been around since Logic was owned by emagic.. I was using it in Logic 4.. I still have it xD
Great vid! I thought the future comparison was very interesting!
Peronally I have ableton, how it look is the first thing. but then the learning curve needed to just get basics down I don't think enhance the workflow at all after you know what you are doing.
Logic is by far much nicer to look at and as I have been using it since V2 I have very comfortable. so I cant say its better.
I have uninstalled ableton more times than I can count xD as after a hour of just wanting to get a idea down I find my self asking the question "why are they doing this like this?"
4:34 logic got that now crazy the timing
In this particular question FL will be better, but if you like gray color more then Ableton :D
A Behringer1820 with extra stands and xlrs, or an analog synth like the arturia microbrute
You can resize both Sampler and Quick Sampler and make them smaller just by dragging
I would spend it on midi keyboard and logic pro, because using garageband with mac keyboard as input is such a pain 😭
U can do groups within groups in Logic now
Hi Fabio, I'd spend the money firstly on a good sound card for recordings, for the materials to build up a small recording booth, i'll save the rest of the money for an electric drum kit. I really hope to win them.
Best regards!
Was the question on the title answered?
Nice Video :) I started using Ableton some months ago and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for giving us the chance to win a 500$ gift card! I already have a lot of stuff I would love to spend it on:
A guitar rack, an Acoustic screen (the thing you put around microphones, don't know the English word..) and a nice Grid-Controller, maybe the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3! And if there's still some money left I would have a look around for some good Guitar pedals and amps :)
Cheers
Robert
I'm an Fl studio user but i was planning on trying Logic as soon as i buy and iMac. Anyway i would defintely use the 500$ to buy a new pair of monitors or a better pair of headphones💪🏻
What made you chose FL Studio first? just curious
@@watchboombox to me It seemed one of the most intuitive and at the time was the one with most tutorials on TH-cam. So i chose it because i didn't have any friends who were producers and i thought FL studio was the easiest to learn by myself. Then lifetime free updates were another great point in his favour
I would like to spend that money on,
1 Used descent laptop
2 Ableton intro
3 Arturia minifuse 2
4 A decent microphone
That's all :)
I would definietly buy Boombox premium, one of the best helpers for producing, especially, when I want to produce for an artist pretty far away (happens regularly), or I want to be ready for our recording session with my ideas. Because Im a student, I haven't got much money, (neither my parents) but I'm in the "producing world" for 5 years, and I always wanted to have better equipments, but I could only afford 1 update in a year. I'm growing slow, but steady. With this I could finally have a studio mic (for my recordings I've been using my friend's), an Audio Technica AT2020. I would like to have a microphone stand, a pair of studio speakers, and better sound proofing equipment. It would be the biggest grow in my carrier, and the biggest step towards my dream to become a producer, songwriter🥰😍
And also my favourite DAW is Logic, but sadly yet it is just a dream, but whenever I watch videos about producing, its just simply satisfying to see how usable this DAW is, how clean, and especially for the vocal comping, recording, it has the best features. Its simply magical ✨
Thanks for sharing Peter!! You know that the free boombox account comes with 10gb :) Sounds like you got all the right goals in place - keep pushing and believing in yourself - one day you'll look back and won't believe how far you've come!
I would switch the personalities of the Logic and Abelton user. That’s my experience meeting producers/composers anyways lol
Yeah you’re not wrong tbh 😂 what about Dropbox and boombox users?
I would get new speakers and headphones! Thanks for the content!
I've come to the conclusion that you can't go wrong with either and you can all the same stuff in both. However, I'd choose logic if recording audio and mixing is the priority and I'd choose ableton if producing electronic music and writing tracks from scratch was the priority. and if all of those are a priority go with the one that looks better to you.
That’s exactly our approach!
It would have to be a juicy new synth tbh 😍 I don’t think there’s a better way to spend💰
Did someone say JUICY?
@@NoizeLondon Hell yeah 🫡
I would spent that 500 bucks on acoustic treatment for my studio and a good pair of open-back headphones
How many people mix and master in Ableton?
Quite a few I think!
In my opinion, Logic Pro is better. Ableton is great for finishing tracks quickly and easily (and of course is the only DAW that is fantastic for live performance), but it lacks the depth of options and intuition of Logic. I know plenty of folks will say otherwise, but having trained in both, Logic is the DAW I now always open and use, so for me Logic retains the crown of best DAW (for now!)
I’d spend the cash on (ironically given the above) on the Ableton push 2 to be able to perform the album I am about to release live!
I totally agree. I started out with garage band and logic then switched to ableton and finished faster tracks but not too good ones. At some point I got abit annoyed by ableton as it felt like a live performance and I went back to logic. Enjoy it so much.
@@arti808musicsame here. I do prefer ableton’s sample browser
how do you handle using ur sustain pedal on rough ideas
like where you might wanna move a chord or add another
Ableton 💥💯👌
For me both. great tools.
Logic pro anytime anyplace
It's so easy to press R to record in Ableton if you want to.
I would buy some Steven slate audio vsx headphones :)
Logic Pro came out in 1993, Live came out in 2001. Why do people keep saying Ableton is older?
The California accent is also how we Americans sound doing it lol well done
would spend on buying ableton and/or an audiotechnica at2020 mic
Go for the 2035, it’s a lot more microphone for not much more money.
I would def spend $500 on acoustic treatments!
love logic tho!!
I‘d finally get some new studio headphones because my old AKG aren‘t the best and my shitty PA soundsystem is the worst for proper producing/mixing 🙄
ableton is the best! since i still use my loudspeakers for production i would spend 500 bucks on yamaha hs series
Great speakers. I've had my HS7s for 7 years across 3 moves and they've never let me down
Logic , cuz it has kindaa better gui.
I'd spend I that on the DT 990 pro and / or Apollo twin...
Man I loved the video, great research and comparison!! Me I prefer Ableton since I just wanna stay part of the cult, that's for sure. I'd love to get myself a dreadbox nymphes with 500$, that thing slaps!!
Thanks so much Johny - been using both for a while now. I do think Logic is faster... but Ableton feels more fun somehow? oooo the dreadbox - great choice gonna be making some gnarly sounds with that!!
I would spend the gift card to start with music production, I don’t have any gear so I would get some studio monitors and an audio interface.
can i ask for your glasses, they look so beautiful
Latest Logic has Nested Track Stacks (or groups within groups as you call it). I wish you were more well informed before you made this video
I would use the giveaway card to help treat my space with some acoustic treatment!
I'd spend 500$ 100% on Acoustic treatment or as 2nd choice I'd say a mic by Universal Audio so that I can start to record singers around me and try to get paid for it to get other studio equipment ahaha
I prefer Ableton cause i can do live tracking easier with it !
I would buy me new speaker ‘cause mine begin to be bloom …
I’d buy a Neumann TLM 103. Been after one for a while.
It’s a good move had mines for like a year now but I wouldn’t recommend to someone with a very deep voice it sounds good with a mid range voices to high .
I completely agree. The Neumann's are great for bring a bassier more grounded tone to voices that lack it but can def be overkill on voices who carry that bass naturally.
Ableton Live because it's able to do a ton 🫡
Logic is my favourire! I’d get a new pair of o
Monitors as my current ones are busted
