Anybody familiar with the program? Just downloaded it today in hopes of someday being able to make drum and base.
ableton live is pretty advanced as far as daw's go, if you have any experience in cubase, logic, sonar etc it should be fairly easy for you to navigate through. ableton is known for being very complex with rtas, mess with all the plug-ins/filters/rtas to really see its full potential, have fun!
i only work with Live 8 (dont have 9) but I'd be happy to help if need be. all the built-in effects are pretty intuitive and sound great, once you get used to them I'd suggest downloading whatever free plugins you can find. they're all over the internet and it's a great way to learn sound design.
bigpoopyLearn FL Studio now be thankful later :P
FL studio is pretty much baby steps for audio production, it's good to use for a newb that needs to get the gist of arranging tracks and mixing but it wont really give a rewarding experience like the other programs i mentioned. a good alternate to beginner software is pro tools since it's very straight forward and pretty easy to learn

really fun once you learn the program but it's a steep learning curve as defy mentioned. great for making your own sounds

right, well FL isn't really meant for mastering tracks. wavelab and nuendo are pretty standard as far as mastering goes. and FL is known for just arranging tracks because of its simple layout, or you can just slave it to another program such as cubase but as a stand alone program it really isn't in the same tier as cubase, logic, abelton etc. plus the lack of quality is easily recognized when bouncing tracks through FL

use the built in tutorial, its actually quite good and you'll have a good understanding of ableton afterwards.
Useful little forum for all types of home recording etc. Has it's own sub-forum for Ableton, haven't looked into it as I don't use it personally but the people are helpful so I'm sure you'll find tutorials and all sorts on here.
#7 don't kid yourself, fl studio is probably one of the most limiting DAWs out there. it's great for when you know literally nothing and are starting out, and it does have the potential to make really good tracks (see: Madeon), but it does limit you compared to ableton.
my main gripe with it is that it has literally 0 live capabilities. you can't perform live with it at all. the 'live' feature that it comes with is just basically glitching your already made track.
also, fl studio just handles audio really oddly, compared to ableton. pitching shit in fl studio always sounds really weird and half-assed a lot of the time, and it doesn't have the ability to tempo-sync like ableton.
