FL Studio and Ableton Live are two of the most popular DAWs for making music on your computer. I’ll break this analysis in 5 different parts:
- Features/versions of each DAW
- Workflow
- Available Platforms
- Learning resources
- Price

FL Studio is divided into 4 versions.
Fruity Edition is the most basic version and allows you to write loops and melodies with limited playlist features, no audio clips, and no audio recording. FL Studio Production Edition gives all the playlist features and audio recording along with 6 additional native plugins. FL Studio Signature bundle gives all the features of the previous versions plus 13 additional native plugins. And finally FL Studio All Plugins Editions gives you all the FL Studio native plugins. The FL Studio Fruity Edition is a great entry point to making music on your computer. Even though you can do a lot with just the plugins available with FL Studio, not being able to work with audio clips in the playlist is a huge limitation for modern music production. But if you are just writing music without using audio clips, then this could be a good entry point to try FL Studio.
Ableton Live provides 3 versions. Live Intro provides you with the essentials to start making music with 16 audio ad MIDI tracks, 16 scenes, and 2 send and return tracks. Live Standard provides you with full features plus some extras with unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, unlimited scenes, and 12 send and return tracks. Live Suite provides you with the complete integrated studio suite with all the features of the Standard plus Max for Live, 17 instruments, 60 audio effects, and 16 midi effects.
The Live Intro is a great way to start with making music on your computer and try Ableton Live. The only thing that is hard to overlook is the 16 audio and MIDI tracks limitation. After you get some experience in making music you will have projects with more than 16 tracks.
