Let's just open with the fact that I'm a total beginner. I've never known how to use a DAW before. I want to pick this up as a hobby and maybe develop it into something more serious if it's something that I like.
I know that it has been asked a lot. I know that people always say it doesn't matter. But I just hate using things that are considered inferior to others if I have the option to get the better one. I've seen a lot of people who moved from FL to ableton but no one who moved from ableton to FL and sticked with it. I would've learned ableton, but just looking at the price (I would probably get the standard edition which is 450$) I'm a bit turned off. I still don't know if it's something I want to invest so much in, and 450 dollars on a new hobby is a lot for me. On the other hand, FL studio's available for 200 on the producer edition, and I'm a bit better with FL beacause I had a friend when I was younger who used FL studio and he taught me a little about it.
But still, I just can't go for FL studio unless I'm sure it's not something people would look down upon, or something that I'll ever regret. I also want to purchase a macbook one day and only ableton is available on mac... I just have that stupid problem where I have to choose the best option, and I can never choose an inferior one. It really bugs me that people say that FL studio is a toy...
