I just found out that Lusine uses FL and Cubase in studio, and Live for sets. It just soldified for me that it doesn't matter the DAW, use any and all to get what you WANT.
I started on FL. Stayed on it for about 6 yrs. Made the switch to Ableton..... Never looked back. Once you learn it, you'll understand it's significantly faster than FL. Shortcut for shortcut, etc.
I started with FL 12 years ago, then switched to Logix pro X after a couple of years, then over to Cubase for another 3 or 4 years and now I am back in my home daw FL studio. But for recording Instruments and mixing I really like Cubase. If I make beats or electronic music I use also FL. So it is interesting to see what Ableton looks like because I also had it on my computer but never used it :D Have a nice weekend
I like Ableton but i've heard they're both good just depends on your workflow. Some people like to switch back n forth depending on their mood like decap
I'm sure a ableton is great but the GUI what made me choose FL and the lifetime free updates and the fact you can also make videos ...and ableton is great for live music on stage ...pick whichever everyone's got their preference
Same here, I hate the arrangement setup of FL studio but you pay once and get lifetime free updates with UNLIMITED EVERYTHING. Abelton you technically pay to play based on your level of production. For $50 with FLS you can have everything you need vs abelton and their 16 tracks only. Pro Logic and FLS for life for me
I've tried them all over the years... Reaper, Pro Tools, Logic, Garageband, Cakewalk, FL Studio, etc... I prefer Ableton. They're all great and it's nice there is a variety in my opinion. It's totally subjective but for my workflow Ableton works best.
A lot of people base there preferences off of the fact that alot of producers use Alberton. I know fl has come a long way and it's getting better each year with free upgrades. Basically it's whatever your preference is. I won't pick something because everyone is using it I will pick something that I know will works for me best in the end. FL STUDIO FOR LIFE.
the main thing that made me switch to ableton was that i was doing a lot of recording and it sucks in fl its so messy. the only thing i miss from fl is the piano roll because i used to use the tools alot but ive gotten pretty comfy doing drums in ableton
Are you using Edison for recording? You can record multiple takes on a loop in 1 go and then replay each of them and keep the ones you like without ever leaving Edison. No hassle saving a bunch of files, dragging them onto tracks or anything like that.
Great experience... The learing curve was too much for me too. But I love how you routed your inputs through those pedals. Makes cookups more fun. Are you still using the Ryzen 9 build?
@@SIKKYBEATS Im sure that will go a long way. Everything else was overkill at that time. At least now GPU prices are going down. Great choice with case though. Fits in well with the background.
nice try, thanks for it! So my 2 cents if you own an Akai MPC Live, One or Studio Hardware you'll have the Software too, combine it as a VST PlugIn inside FL Studio. Nothing can stop this joint venture. Legendary beats straight from the hardware side by side with the mother of all DAWs :) - give it a try !
There is no such thing as "Accidentally" 😂. It's okay if you want to switch from FL Studio to Ableton though. I remember my first time using Ableton, I was scared for life. Imo it has a very intimidating interface if you come from a different DAW. But also has some dope tools and workflow I really miss in FL
One thing I love with it that fl doesn't do is when day your using automation on on an LFO on a synth , the automation says the value so you know it's at 1/4 or whatever without having to go back and look at the settings
Actually ableton has its own drum sequencer as an instrument🥲and you can just click in the drum pattern. You just need to figure things out. I use both fl and ableton though😌ableton has a faster work flow
These DAWSare tools. Use whatever you want. FL has FL Studio VSTi that allows you to use FL Studio with other DAWs, so use both at the same time if you want!
I'm a very fond fl studio but no doubt ableton is the go to option when it comes to sampling, using loops to do stuff and the automation is just far better in ableton than any of the daw I have seen. Also, ableton is just good when it comes to big house or like those club type genre musics I use the best from both of the worlds :)
Interesting video...i would say : use what you feel comfortable with. But i really engage everyone to be fluent with many DAWs. Because FL studio is very popular but is not an industry standard, you will benefit switching between DAWs. I guess it also depends the type of music tou make. If its loops based with just a little bit of midi and not a lot of modulation, pick FL Studio, its not worth it to pay for constant upgrades when you have this for free on FL. But if you compose more complex melodies, requiring a lot of FX and modulations, less problem for files sharing and with a huge community who already made all of the FX Chain and racks that you need, Ableton and other DAWs might make your life easier on many level. Yet you can achieve the same things on both most of the time, FL has its own way of doing things and its not always the easiest way. If you are new to music production, it really depends if you are on a tight budget. I would advise to directly use software such as Ableton, Logic, Bitwig etc if you can...for many reasons. But if you are on a budget go for FL and if you feel like it, maybe later you'll learn other DAWs 🙃
Why didn't you use the Drum Machine? Making a bit on Ableton (and Bitwig) is much easier actually than FL Studio. You think there is no drum sequencer...well, not the FL way, which is actually a pretty unusual way to make beats. But the grid in a midi clip on Ableton (and Bitwig) has 2 modes...included one for the drums.
Abletons prices arent that bad once you realise that the education edition is 60% off at all times putting the suite price from $700 to $300 if you have a student id
check out @EdTalenti, Mr.Bill is dope. found this other dude dnksauce or something the other day that was crazy with it too. Oversampled is sick. man too many dope creators on ableton fr fr
Switched to Ableton a couple of months ago after 9 years with FL studio, and literally made more progress in those couple months than I did in 9 years.... Ableton is just so much more professional DAW with outstanding workflow, and it's less RAM and CPU hungry as well. It was an eye opening experience and I'm definitely not coming back to FL studio
Whatever you’re comfortable with. I think I need to use both to get the best balance for my sound. Thanks for sharing, love hearing the community stories like this man!
@@Xandersgalleryplease choose ableton it’s way more fun and fl studio will literally hurt you even tho you’ve used it for years it looks like a toy everything is just everywhere and you gotta find it but in ableton it’s just in one place
I use Fl Studio since "Fruity Loops" but Ableton is easier with external gear. But i get myself if something is not working i switch to FL. It is and will be the best Software ever. Hope you understood what i mean. Its been a while since the english class in school😃. Greetings from germany
I always hear FL Studio is the most "Popular" DAW but not the most "Powerful". Ableton is more powerful if you're being honest, FL studio is more "get in and get the works done" in my opinion. Ableton is a playground I struggle to work in. I've got more done in logic pro. Guess less is more in my case. Maybe this metaphor makes sense: FL studio is like chiseling stone, it aint easy but with every chip you chisel, you're getting closer to the finished product. Ableton like chiseling stone in the middle of an arcade full of pinball machines, street fighter 2 classic, and a bunch of those 4 player old arcade games like TMNT and Simpsons. Good fucking luck trying to chisel that stone.
Cool Video 👍Sikky u can use XO by XLN Audio for the drum sequencing part but i agree FL is better in that aspect. Also FL's Piano Roll is the best in any DAW.
@@SIKKYBEATS they copied a little bit, at least u can use the scale in midi mode and some random settings. But these settings are not created very good. 😅
I have been using FL for about 10 years but decided to give Ableton a go and I'm torn between the two , I prefer the work flow of fl but Im also a scratch dj and record alot and I'm really liking recording on Ableton as its wraps what I do and the loop recorder section is dope I just don't like if production wise , I have live lite and Im trying 90 day demo and I reckon I'm gonna use both but just get the intro version of Abelton as 16 tracks is enough and when I'm making mixtapes there isn't much after production work all FX I do through my mixer as I'm playing.. I'm gonna see how I get on until trial is done ....right now though FL is way better ... But if they both fucked each other and made a baby daw that was them both in one it would be perfect
I’m in the same boat. I feel like studio one is their love child, but I just don’t like S1 that much, I’ve made dope tracks in it but it’s interface is mmmeehh compared to fl.
Have I betrayed my loyal fl studio users? hell no! FL Gang for lyfe!
Fuck yeahhh
Ur making sense! Welcome to a logical workflow..lol
Bro i wanna see a tuturial on them vocals
I have and use both FL and Ableton. If you’re able to have both… it’s an insane combination. Good luck on your Ableton journey!
I just found out that Lusine uses FL and Cubase in studio, and Live for sets. It just soldified for me that it doesn't matter the DAW, use any and all to get what you WANT.
Thanks man, appreciate that so much!
Facts that's what people don't talk about enough.

Piano roll in Fl is fvcking awesome
I started on FL. Stayed on it for about 6 yrs. Made the switch to Ableton..... Never looked back. Once you learn it, you'll understand it's significantly faster than FL. Shortcut for shortcut, etc.
Yo thanks for Watching dm me on IG let me know what kit I can send you!
Exactly...and let's not talk about the modulations.
The thing I love about Ableton is I can bring in my favorite production tools (Maschine, Reason, FL) as VST. Definitely recommend.
you can do that in FL. I run Maschine and MPC Beats through FL
Went surprisingly well for a FL user tbh
I started with FL 12 years ago, then switched to Logix pro X after a couple of years, then over to Cubase for another 3 or 4 years and now I am back in my home daw FL studio. But for recording Instruments and mixing I really like Cubase. If I make beats or electronic music I use also FL.

8:20 yo head is a metronome 😆. Nice vide btw 🔥
7:42 Abelton has drum rack
@angelazlanbeats step sequencer is a crutch imo. Ableton 12 fixed all the piano roll issues I had with it.
Something that helps to make drums in ableton is using a drum rack. Kinda simalar to the step sequencer, but fls drum work flow is still insane
whats the jacket your wearing at the start?

Fl Studio recording audio is very different from other daw. its not perfect or bad, but I do feel like I need to use something else to get results.
Fl recording is a LOT better now with audio tracks, only thing I think they’re missing is better comping imo
Are you using Edison for recording? You can record multiple takes on a loop in 1 go and then replay each of them and keep the ones you like without ever leaving Edison. No hassle saving a bunch of files, dragging them onto tracks or anything like that.
Ooooeeee a splice pack! I’m excited for that!
"Drum rack" is ableton's drum sequencer
welcome to the light side bro.
Yes indeed

what the name of the cable that you used for you synth??? to send midi files
Bro, in what genre does the 1st beat fits into?? My God, those 808 slides just murdered me... 🔥🔥🔥
nice try, thanks for it!
So my 2 cents if you own an Akai MPC Live, One or Studio Hardware you'll have the Software too, combine it as a VST PlugIn inside FL Studio. Nothing can stop this joint venture.
Legendary beats straight from the hardware side by side with the mother of all DAWs :) - give it a try !
Reaper is king...you can make it do anything in ur imagination. Best custom DAW. I've had no reason to look back after using Protools and Ableton.
There is no such thing as "Accidentally" 😂. It's okay if you want to switch from FL Studio to Ableton though. I remember my first time using Ableton, I was scared for life. Imo it has a very intimidating interface if you come from a different DAW. But also has some dope tools and workflow I really miss in FL
Do you know that you can use the FL Studio VSTi plugin inside of Ableton to basically record audio from FL (to use FL's workflow) into Ableton?
I really like this comment sometimes you need to spice the relationship maybe Ableton does that. But FL been top tier the first MPC DAW
One thing I love with it that fl doesn't do is when day your using automation on on an LFO on a synth , the automation says the value so you know it's at 1/4 or whatever without having to go back and look at the settings
Which version of FL would you suggest? Are ALL plugins worth it? Or would the Producer Edition be good enough?
Anything but the fruity edition is good
Actually ableton has its own drum sequencer as an instrument🥲and you can just click in the drum pattern. You just need to figure things out. I use both fl and ableton though😌ableton has a faster work flow
Can you do it with logic because I use it and yah it would be cool what other daw user think 🙏🏾

Man Missed you tooo bro!
These DAWSare tools. Use whatever you want. FL has FL Studio VSTi that allows you to use FL Studio with other DAWs, so use both at the same time if you want!

What midi controller u use ?
There’s a drum rack for drums. I personally just drag the audio files into the playlist
Switching DAWs can be a pain, I switched from FL to Reaper to make beats and it was a process, FL is so different from anything else.
that sound was 👍 u got my my sub bro..
Hey man, would you say drums in FL Studio sound better than in Ableton?
you have drum rack on ableton
EVERHBODY IS ON THIS BUT DRUM RACK + PIANO ROLL IS LITERALLY A STEP SEQUENCER
