Can't decide between two DAW-s. Please advise. 2014-08-06T22:08:55+00:00 Hey there. My real name is Andrija, and I'm from Croatia. I would like you to ask you something and would like your sincere opinion. So, the case is... I'm starting to venture into music production. It's a looooong wanted hobby that I never had a chance to fully enjoy. There was school, there was this there was that, just to distract me from my most beloved hobby. I am almost 25 years old. So is it late for me? I've seen some musicians boomed at 30-es, 40-es. Now, in Croatia we do not have lots of choice for learning music production, but there is one institution in which I enrolled for. Course is Electronic Music Production. Or shortly EMP. Okay, here is the problem. :help: I cannot settle down with a DAW. I know, they are just tools, and that many things are in you as a person and your skills. Sooo... I tried trails of every possible DAW that exists. Except mac, I do not have mac. And really couldn't decide. After some 6-7 years of installing and uninstalling. Now that I know pretty much basic info about every daw there is I am stucked between PreSonus Studio One Professional & Ableton Live. As software, and as overall experience I find PreSonus Studio1 better, simpler, more user friendly, and more efficient and faster to work. On the other hand, I bought M-Audio Oxygen 49 that is natively built in Ableton, which is not a case in Studio 1. I heard that for EMP (for electronic music) is better Ableton. And the course I will go on teaches primarily on Ableton. But they said to me that which DAW I use is practically irrelevant. I would like to produce electronica, sure. But sometimes I would like to compose ambiental, epic instrumental score, chillout etc. And I find a session view in Ableton confusing. So my heart is broken in half. One loves the Studio1 for it's robustness and ease of use. (for example manual of S1 has 300 pages, manual of Cakewal Sonar has 2000!!!), but I'm not shooting for the easiest DAW there. Than I would choose Acoustica Mixcraft. I want something professional, but intuitive. FL studio step sequencer gave me nightmares XD So here once more, as a musician, what would you recommend me? I'm really going crazy and I'm lost. If you could give me your opinion I'd be grateful to you. And yes, take me as a level 2 of 10 in music production. Cheers!
