For me Ableton is just a typical "hyper marketing" product and the most buyers bought it, because they thought the pros are using it and if they'll using it also, they'll become pros, too. But if you really are a pro, you can produce with every DAW! :D
wha-tha-ell ya on about mate?

as I see Logic + plugin version of Reason is a is very good combo at this moment, both region type(MIDI/pattern) can be routed to the same instrument slots, MIDI one contains the notes, pattern one the loop-based triggering and automation patterns
Image
pseudo pitch based "MIDI" channels can be created with NoteMix Player
... Notes can be distributed among up to 8 channels with each having knobs for the velocity levels, for pitch shifting, and buttons for mute and solo...

inside Reason so the separated triggering notes with different pitches can trigger different envelopes inside Reason and they can be routed to the instrument slot through its MIDI Out device (as cv/cc signals)

and the live show :D

ofc. Reason can be used as modular fx unit too but finding out how can be modulated plugins in the instrument slots was much more challenging one nice combo anyway Reason has 10 modulation points

vs Logic 4 so worth to use them together, Logic hasn't got automation clip but can have modulation one in this way

If you are a pro, you have a manager for your carrer who hire ghostproducers who make tracks for you.
Do you really think famous DJs or producers make tracks themselves ?

I don’t understand why people get so triggered by course correction. So what if they only show women in marketing materials for the next 20 years it still wouldn’t come close to the amount of focus on straight white men for decades. If there were 5 guys shown in a row no-one even registers it as odd.

It’s not genocide, it’s representation.

Are you safe?
