This is misleading. In my experience, none of the above programs have quite the functions that Ableton Live does. Live is one of the most aptly named of the programs in that that is its purpose: providing a platform for live performance. You can produce in it, but IMO that's even more cumbersome than performing. I'd like to get further into Ableton as far as real-time sequencing and djing goes, though. |
First of all, I mentioned these programs in target of explainig him what does Abelton do. I didn't say they are professionaly similar.
Secondly, I don't know if you'd using Logic Audio Platinum. This is one of the most professional music production, espacially the new version. I don't know Abelton and it's "live" features, but I'm sure it doesn't more professional than Logic. |

It doesn't make much sense to compare them on "professionalness" because Logic and Ableton aren't direct competitors. Logic is definitely more suited for producing in a studio, Ableton is definitely more suited for live dj'ing, even if it can be used for producing (and does actually anyone use it this way?).
It's two different kinds of applications. |

Me too, though mostly just to manipulate samples (stuttering etc). |

| I've been toying around with it a bit lately as far as production goes, but mostly have just been using it for mixing sets. Also starting to explore Operator and work on doing more 'Live' stuff. |

This is the problem, though. You're thinking of Ableton as a production program, first and foremost, when it isn't. Ableton is primarily a live performance tool. This is in direct contrast to Logic, which is a studio production tool. Yes, Ableton can be used to produce and Logic can be used for live performance, but both would be cumbersome and annoying in those respective circumstances.
I'm not trying to bring down Logic. I'm just saying that comparing Ableton to the programs you listed is like comparing apples and oranges. |

Ableton Live 5 is a program that with the right knowledge, can do anything from DJ mix to produce original songs.
Production requires external synths, samples, or programs such as ReWire, but Live basically acts as the sequencer and mixer.
DJ mixing requires nothing but MP3s/AIFs/WAVs to mix with.
I'd go into detail because I've loved this program since the 3rd version came out, but I'm really tired. To sum it up... I wouldn't be surprised if one day this is the standard of the music market from radio stations, studios, and clubs. :D |
