I love Ableton because it's really easy to create loops and improvise over them, which is my typical creative process. On the other hand, Ableton is very good for certain types of producers, especially those in specializing in electronic music production. I always recommend Logic for new producers because it's easy to learn and it's much cheaper than Ableton if you purchase Logic with the Apple Bundle for Education ($199). This means that now, you can use your iPad or iPhone as a controller for faders and knobs. Apple also improved the Logic mobile app, allowing for better integration between your mobile device and your laptop. Although I've never used Logic's session view, a lot of people were happy to see Apple finally implementing many of the best features from other DAWs including Ableton (session view and clips) and Pro Tools (slip editing).

ABLETON LIVE VS LOGIC PRO HOW TO
Being in a recorded music program, a never-ending debate that I hear all the time is which DAW (digital audio workstation) is better for music production, Ableton Live or Logic Pro X? On one side, you have Logic users, who are typically songwriters and instrumentalists, saying that they like the simplicity and coherence of Apple's Logic Pro X, while on the other side, you have Ableton users who swear by Ableton because of its great interface for live performances and better control over automation and sound design.Īs someone who has been producing for many years, I can tell you that there are pros and cons to both, but ultimately, you should choose the one that you know how to use better.Įver since the Logic 10.5 update, which added live loops and a UI similar to Ableton's session view, the two DAWs aren't that different in terms of functionality.
