A friend of mine uses Ableton, but it depends what you're trying to compose to begin with.

He just makes beats and whatnot which is perfect for Ableton but more complicated rhythm's then FL Studio

If you're going straight recording, REAPER is your best bet. If you want instruments, you have to already have/get VST's to run into it. Logic is also one of the best for composition and writing music; nice big library of instruments packaged with the DAW. Unfortunately it's Mac only.


Ableton Live, got it through community college for $50 ;)

looks like megabloks if fl studio is lego, but holy stuff it's so much easier and more powerful than fl studio in my opinion

although i still love to work in fl studio anyways. kind have been slacking on my music lately, but a DJ friend of mine said he's going to tomorrow world and is looking for producers to take with him... so i'm starting to pick it up again this summer \o/

Wat. You can have the same level of complexity in any true DAW.

OT: I use Ableton Live at the moment, but I also have FL Studio, REAPER, and Nanostudio. FL is probably your best bet to get started.
