I use both. If I creat a beat I use FL Studio. The Pattern in FL Studio are great for making beats. You can start so quick without getting always into the piano roll. For Recording, Producing, Mix&Mastering I use Logic. Logic has a great workflow for editing. But If it comes to make a beat, I personally don't recommend Logic. But yeah at the end, you have to trust your ears and not the gear.

If the other DAW companies would have you pay once and update like FL I would probably go with another DAW…

Interesting perspective. I prefer FL studio for my creative production process, then studio one for mixing.

[@CharlieCarlos123]

I’m feeling absolutely the same, I started producing on FL, then moved to Ableton… after producing on Ableton for 10 years I recently moved into Logic and IDK why but I feel like Logic’s sound is better. I like the quality more and I can take decisions faster and better to know what I should keep and what I should remove. This helps me to feel more creative and inspired, is like Logic was made just to work.

[@hydrexUK]

I switched from Logic Pro to FL Studio fully, but I prefer Logic Pro more. The reason I switched was the switch from Mac to Windows as being on a Mac felt much more limited than Windows, so when I built my new computer I tried both Ableton & FL Studio and went with FL because I found it easier to use, since I'd used it a few times before whilst I was still a Logic user for collabs. If Logic was available for Windows I would 100% stay with that, but for me, being on Windows and having a less preferred DAW outweighs being on a DAW which works better for me whilst being on a more limited OS (Operating System).

[@AlexLapugean]

try Cubase maybe? Or Studio One... Much more similar to Logic than FL. I went from Logic, to Studio One and finally to Cubase now. I also used Ableton in the past, but while it is great for editing and sound design, I really do not like it for mixing.

Dear friend, in fl you can also make one track / one instrument / one mixer. I understand that it's not a good fit for you but in my opinion, Fl allows you to customise a lot your workspace and that's why it can be frustrating or hard to understand. One day i think i'll switch to cubase so i can combo Fl for the prod then one of these bad boy for the mixing / mastering. And about the price, you did not menttion that you have to buy a fuckin mac to use logic lel (or being a bit curious)

I love FL. Made my first 3 projects on it. It saved my life. But imo it’s horrendous at recording and mixing vocals. It’s an extra step to bounce out all the stems, but now I record in Logic (for Flex) or Reaper. And mix in Reaper. Once I learn how to make beats and get the better version of Melodyne or Autotune Pro, in reaper I’ll probably just do everything in there tbh.

[@Heysungjin]

I moved from Cubase to FL, and now I'm thinking about moving from FL to Logic and that's why I got here. All these reasons that are referred to in this video are so relevant to me who make beats, record and mix. I thought FL was a user friendly and most intuitive DAW, yet the routing system and organizing twice for one instrument really irritated me especially when it comes to recording vocals.

[@justsomemincedgarlic]

I started on Ableton and switched to Logic and have never looked back. It just makes more sense to me and I think the built in instruments are the best. Plus, the flat price is great.

Pretty controversial subject, but it’s a must to share imo. I was longtime windows user and I thanked I never touch fl as its a mess if we translate to a real mixer.. it just sucks and adds extra steps and breaks workflow. I used Live on windows but wanted to also use Logic so I build a Hackintosh and now I have the best of both worlds. I use Logic, Live, Pro Tools and Luna in macOS and I still can game on Windows. Although I also must say there’s no correct answer to this dilema. The best daw is the one you feel as an extension of you, the one that feeds your necesites.

With Logic it is really much more intuitive and you are just faster. Therefore from my side: Fl Studio --> Great for making beats Logic --> Great for vocals mixing and mastering That's why I switched to Logic for vocal mixing and mastering, because most of the time I work on vocals and less on beats, but now and then when I feel like it I build a few beats and then but in Fl Studio.

Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, Cakewalk, and Samplitude all have a similar paradigm to Logic and will suit people who maybe don't want to use a Mac.

That doesn't mean it's nott useful but yes, more so for repeating beats.

I had the same experience. I spent a year+ with FL, and finally broke down and bought Live. FL has some great things about it but its workflow, even at its best, is way too cumbersome. However, the best synth I've ever used is Sytrus and it is my default synth of choice even in Live.

Hi I’m so glad I stumbled across your video! I am using logic pro, and when I first bought a keyboard which was an AKAI MPC mini, it came with MPC Beats. After a year and a half I can’t figure out how to get it to make a sound! Logic on the other hand was as easy as pouring a glass of milk. I can zoom through a project just as quick. But get this, one of my third party apps offered “Ableton Live Lite” for free. So I thought, like yourself, why not try it? I downloaded it, opened it up, looked at the interface and closed it down. I didn’t know what I was looking at. I went to their “tutorials” and they were from older versions and so busy it was like going on a tour of a nuclear reactor control panel (yes, I know what one looks like). So now, I keep the app in hiding only to be used by someone I might collaborate with who doesn’t know Logic. Thanks for reaffirming thAT Logic Pro is a great, professional DAW. Gianni❤

And there aren't enough KZbin tutorials for making EDM in Logic Pro - Maybe you can help?

Switching from FL to Logic was a good workflow change. Switching your workflow can allow you to try things you never tried before.

[@danielluczak4695]

A lot of my friends that produce EDM work in Ableton and they've been trying to convert me from Logic, but I honestly enjoy Logic wayyy too much to switch. I'm glad there are people out there in the EDM scene that also prefer logic, I feel like there's not many of us out there 😭

[@LabofmusicRecords]

The bigest downside to Logic is that you can't prelisten to MIDI files, like in Cubase, FL, etc. EDIT: Awesome Video, instant sub and like :)

[@VicMKV]

I would consider switching and can't completely rule it out, because I do agree with your points. For me though, most of my issues would arise by switching to a different OS. Widows has much more support compared to MAC. But I can probably say most of the plugins I would use (VSTS) they are available on MAC as well. thanks for the tips!

[@hrmehrfarYT]

Almost all the reasons you mentioned are common across all DAWs, for example the layout of the mixers and audio and MIDI tracks, the ability to use flex time and flex pitch, the variety of plugins and internal effects of DAWs, and so on. The flex time and flex pitch options are not particularly new or unique either, and I have seen them in all DAWs since Sonar. Except for FL Studio, which has a completely different look and feel, almost everything you mentioned is common to all DAWs.

[@dmzbeats9981]

I use Ableton because something happened when I first downloaded FL and I just couldn't be bothered to try and fix it lol

[@juwubiDTM]

been using fl for almost 10 years and ive been comfortable using it but one problem for me was the limit of mixer tracks especially if i make full flavour song i always need to seperate the track in 2 to 3 different projects. if logic is available on windows i might get it

[@NightscapeSleeps]

there’s hundreds of mixer tracks u just gotta scroll

[@juwubiDTM]

@@NightscapeSleeps yes there are 125 of it but i always manage to use them all if i make a full flavour song

[@hoon-kay4840]

You’re telling me you used like all 100+ mixer tracks multiple times?

[@juwubiDTM]

@@hoon-kay4840 yes well i make 10 to 12 genres in one song for a rhythm game music

[@Devinop]

I agree with your conclusions. The only thing that’s a pity is that Logic doesn’t come with a good harmonizer and pitch corrector out of the box (Melodyne is much better than what comes with Logic).

[@PromotingTheBeat]

I personally would like to get into Logic but, I've been using Reason since 2.5 and have just gotten too into it that when I tried to use Logic, it had such a learning curve for me. But great breakdown.

[@musicbyplv]

Yeah every daw has a learning curve but if you like your current one, dont change ;)

[@chills_tiny_mom]

As someone who started off with GarageBand mobile and is currently using FL, this video is tempting me to make the switch 🤩 just need a Mac haha

[@SC36DC]

I'm only a minute and half in on the video, and i completely agree with you. I unfortunately spent $300 on FL, used it, tried to really like it, but so many things made no sense or was just plain stupid. Once I tried Ableton out, it was so easy to use and made a beat in a matter of minutes. I never went back to FL and just wasted money ... I am very excited to try out Logic Pro on iPad though. Now I will continue watching the video.

[@musicbyplv]

That is awesome! Im glad you were able to find your DAW :) Curious to hear your thoughts about Logic when you try it!!

[@musicbyplv]

@@yuhzpree It's @musicbyplv

[@anderson13666]

Since I got Mac I now really thinking on moving to Logic from FL.. Should try that 90 days trial

[@JaMicQP1]

Interesting video. Through my 30 years experience is learning what’s best for you. What’s best for me? Making a beat in FL withholding FX as much as possible outside from sound sculpting but bouncing the stems and actually mixing Eq etc in what I prefer is pro tools but in logic atm. So it’s easier to make beat in FL but it’s easier to eq compress etc in logic/pro tools. Pro tools far superior in editing. Just wished logic shared same keyboard shortcuts for editing.

[@catsfromspace]

Great video. I'm an old school FL Studio user, but considering switching to Logic. Or at least use both. And now you convinced me haha. Btw, reason 5 is underrated. People sometimes don't realize how the user interface can affect your creativity. That's basically the reason why I could never use Ableton 😄

[@WOODSUNFILTERED-k3u]

Fl is not complicated u just have more control of everything u do

[@joseberroa4935]

Evrytning that you explain about workflow is tne same for both. One pattern, one instrument one mixer fl do tne same. You can setup the automations and move tnem to tne bottom so that way they are not in the screen. Ect, ect ect...

[@musicbyplv]

Both daws have completely different workflows, if they work for you great, but they are known to have 2 very different workflows, it's a fact ;)

[@joseberroa4935]

@@musicbyplv I worked before with logic Pro. I think I started with Logic 7. Logic has one work flow, FL Studio has many. You can do the same thing in different ways. And this is why in music magazines for the past 7 years FL Studio is number 1 or 2 best DAW. But I think is more about taste, not work flow.

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

One can use both. FL Studio is good for certain things and it may be clumsy for other things. It takes some time to figure out a work flow. I assume you have license for both so it's not really an issue one or the other. It all depends what gets the job done at the moment.

[@Rio-uv1gs]

👏🏾 Logical choice.

[@musicbyplv]

Hahaha true! 😅

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

If one used all the discounts the all plugins bundle would cost less than $350 dollars for FL which still makes it more than Logic but it is available for Windows and Macintosh which brings more users to FL which may be preferred DAW for certain music or producer.

[@literallyanything3497]

I wish that Logic Pro was available on Windows though as I currently don't own a MacBook and it's way too expensive to buy just for the sake of using Logic. FL isn't the worst but there's a ton of menu diving, are there any alternatives that you can recommend on Windows based devices?

[@mansurdorado]

Studio One looks similar to Logic

[@MixMasterSplinter]

LOVE LOGIC MY MUSIC HAS BEEN ELEVATED

[@svenmify]

FL is nice to run as a plug-in inside of Logic. Gives some more synth choices.

[@GG-zv9ku]

Definitely is good to try different daw. everyone has a different music style, workflows and/or learning style and there's no a single daw that covers all style of production or workflows.

[@Trailblazers314]

I agree 100 percent but for me, It's Ableton all the way! Logic for mixing and vocals.

[@panagope]

Great choice for you ! I'm in windows / Studio one and very satisfied. But I have heard logic Pro is even more intuitive. How many hours do you devote in working days for music production? ( Tutorials not included)

[@musicbyplv]

As long as you are satisfied that's all that matters, Im glad you have the daw you love :) It really depends haha but mote more than 10 Id say as I also have youtube/instagram content to create ;)

[@AlexLapugean]

It's not more intuitive. There are quite a few wierd limitations in Logic that you think it would be obvious you should be able to do, but can't (like searching for plugins by name, you can only manually select them from the menu, it is really infuriating, or sending midi from one track to another). I acutally switched from Logit to Studio One because of those things (and more). Funny enough, I recently switched again from Studio One to Cubase and it is great honestly.
