Ableton Live is the music production app that looks like an Excel spreadsheet but rocks harder than a granite electric guitar. Version 11 is out now, and you can try it out for free for 90 days.
Logic Pro X vs Ableton 11
Apple’s Ableton Live and Logic Pro are the East Coast vs. West Coast of music production apps, and both have their own styles and standout features. Until last year, that is. With their latest updates, both apps have stolen each other’s last few unique features. Both Live and Logic are incredible apps, but for me, Live is easier to use.
If Live is a pair of familiar, comfortable slippers, then Logic is the tangle of coats, hats and old extension cords you have to wade through to get your slippers out of the shoe closet.
"I find Ableton Live more suited to getting into a 'flow state' while composing," musician Echoopera told Lifewire in a forum thread. "I find Logic to be rooted in the 'old' way of doing things from a workflow standpoint and I find myself fiddling around with it too much to get the results I want."
