FL STUDIO VS ABLETON !! WHICH IS BETTER ?? 

The Ableton or da FL fo today 🤔 First 1000 people to sign up get a free trial of a premium membership : skl.sh/mai01211

The best daw is the one you own and know how to use

The sample manipulation needs to be implemented in FL Studio cause that shit looks magical

Yeah FL's "smart search" is literally the furthest possible thing from being smart I don't know what the fuck is wrong with it

Alright Mai. You convinced me to use Ableton, now make a video on how to get started on Ableton.

FL GANG Represent

I think the thing that makes FL "sound better" is the fact that Ableton has a default setting to fade in clips by just the smallest bit so things can sound less punchy unless you turn off that setting or actively take the fade off each clip

Who gives a shit, Joji uses GarageBand for Christ’s sake. Not about the DAW it’s about how you use it

FL GANG WYA?

Solid comparison. I used FL for 6 months then downloaded ableton and you perfectly summed up the main pro’s and cons of each DAW

i feel like you can make anything on any daw and they all have their strengths, literally just choose one you like and master it. the only thing i think matters is which matches your workflow best

When you find a good sample chop on Edison and you're dragging it to fruity slicer is the most satisfying shit ever 😭

Mai was about to start crying when he thought of Fruity Slicer frfr, the memories man LMAO

Logic Pro is a combination of fl studio and Ableton but y'all aint ready for that conversation yet

Bruh Ableton has a drum rack why does nobody mention this - it’s fire / I get the piano roll stuff but live 11 already improved on it massively.

I’m so glad your posting more content again 🔥

fl is my mom..i don"t need a step mom

I use both pretty regularly, I use FL Studio for detailed MIDI work and Ableton for live recording and loop juggling. I have FL open as a VST in Ableton a lot.

In FL the clipping algorithm is different and a lot of people prefer how it sounds as opposed to ableton. They both sound exactly the same if your beat isn’t clipping. You can literally phase cancel the same beat from both daws with each other.

i love your videos ! good work :) keep it up

Mans really said "quanitize" lmao <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="127">2:07</a>

I use Ableton Live for recording vocals and fl studio for producing 😁

mai always keeping it real respect to the goat

i like Ur energy.. solid use of F words makes me smile, subbed

I have one gripe with FL, audio recording and manipulation. I think this will be sorted soon actually and once it is, FL kicks ass. It's a magic box but there are so many options that people get confused. Get the default behavior right, that's it, it's all there really.

Nice video man

Dude if FL got their shit together with an actually usable file browser, and implemented a sample manipulation tool that competes with ableton (along with maybe some native skin support) we would be so far ahead of the game I stg

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="384">6:24</a> wait a minute👀😖😖😖 wait a minute!!! What beat was that? 💥💥💥💥💥 Hard

Been working with Fruity Loops for over 15 years and I have to admit now, that you conviced me to try out Ableton Live. Great Job, Amigo!!!

FL Studio's piano roll is the only reason this is even a debate. Everything else, Ableton smashes it

The only reason I’d ever switch to Ableton is because of the sample stretching part like please image line add that in FL 21 or whenever the next big update is

Fast and on the point. i like that!

fire vid bro!

The first 5 seconds is the universe's ultimate truth in spoken word form.

I'm sitting here thinking about making the switch after being on it for 4-5- years now and you release this.

Garage band mobile gang wya!?

10+ years in FL...i have something to say hahahah weird...i see this statement that samples in FL are 'hitting harder'...but in fact all the magic is that if you drop your sample into channel rack to program lets say drums with midi - it will set the default fl studio sampler gain..which is 78%, and if you drop the same sample into the playlist as an audio clip it will set the default gain for the audio clip which is 100%..you can check that by self :) some other notes: 1) latest updates of recording workflow in FL made it pretty much as good...you just have to watch the update video few times to memorize the simple moves 2) quantize in FL is actually way more advanced than in ableton..so much options. and about delay - if you use FL Studio ASIO driver it just has more latency..so i recommend using your audio interface driver ..in my case ASIO: Komplete Audio 6, when it's set - there is almost zero delay and recording feels just as good as in Ableton 3) have to admit that audio warping and time stretching is literally amazing in Live, honestly that might be the only "thing" of Ableton to me 4) grouping in FL is pretty much as easy...you select mixer tracks to group and then click on any free channel, then click 'route to this track only' ...when i need to do this it takes me around 2sec 5) automations in FL are quite special haha, it's working in it's own unique way with it's own strange features...which you just like or don't, i personally got used to it years ago and never had a problem 6) autowarp the samples is might be cool for beatmakers, i'm not beatmaker, so back in a days when i was using Ableton i found out unwarping samples more frequently than i needed them in sync so when i need any loop to be adjusted to my grid - it takes me around 1-2 seconds to hit the dropdown menu, then 'fit to tempo' and clicking the needed bpm range...and btw when you preview loops in FL browser while your track is playing - it will autosync the loop just the same way Ableton does it :) 7) your right...Ableton browser is just better than FL, hope they update it at some point 8) and btw, for everyone who misses FL plugins in ableton - lot of them are available on Image Line website as VST's...Slisex, Gross Beat, Harmor...all the good stuff is there so you can use it in Ableton no problem :) ok im done

I gotta say. Every point was hard hitting every time. Both have their percs. I still use FL, but I’m definitely considering trying Abt for fun. Nice vid Mai!

fl does have that time stretching thing now. where u can mark multiple spots

a substitute for fruity slicer in ableton is the simpler. all u gotta do is drag ur sample into simpler and press slice mode. then you can set it to 1/4 notes like in fl and shit and u can pitch it up to give it that sound. sounds pretty much the same bro. also put ableton saturator on the master with the "color" turned off and turn soft clip on. drums will hit just as hard as in fl

the reason for the delay on fl is because of latency.. each effect plugin you add will add latency. fl stock plugins create barely any latency tho. but external effects add so much pro ed 3 for exsample adds around 9ms of latency. if you go to file then audio it will tell you exactly how much latency there is in your current session. just switch off plugins of the mixer channels.

Okay I'm very new to all of this. Literally, the idea of making music came to me about 3 days ago and I wanna do it. Been using the trial version of FL Studio, found it quite nice. Today I went to this big ass music store in berlin, and the dude told me to look into Ableton, since it's better on many levels. Here I am watching this video and all I can see is that Ableton looks like Shiiied, compared to FL Studio imo. (only looks) it kinda hits me like a TeamSpeak / Discord thing. In which I find Teamspeak kinda better, but it just looks raw. In Discord / FL Studio everything looks slick and nice, tidy and polished. Everytime I look at Ableton I have this extremely anxious feeling of "What am I doing here?" Whilst in FL Studio everything seems a little bit more User friendly (?) I don't know how to explain it. Maybe this comment is biased because the last 2 hours I tried installing the Ableton Trial 90days version thingie and it just won't fucking work, but I don't wanna spend 500 bucks on something that I don't feel good about. Any help on deciding?

King 👑

This is me for now... Beat making and tracking = Fl Vocal comping, mixing & mastering = Ableton

This was hiliarious Hahahaha! Came across this video because I was a little disappointed to find out that a midi keyboard I was planning to purchase (S49 MKII) did not have deep integration with FL but does with Ableton Live, I've been producing with FL20 now for a little over a year and finally am starting to feel really comfortable with my DAW, but i realllly love that ability to search my whole sound library you demonstrated. I think I'm about to join the dark side lol

not tryna roast you here bro, cos that was quite an awesome video walkthrough. but... i gotta say everything you just did in Unableton can just as easily be done in the loop studio of fruitiness. xD love your channel bro. ☮️

Great video

FL Studio for life I just can't switch up and probably never will

Does ableton have life time updates too or do you have to buy the new version all the time?

I find my tracks to be more structured with ableton, but for some reason my tracks are more creative with fl studio. It's just the workflow ig, and the piano roll is SO NICE in fl

BRO ABLETON!!!

MAI GAWD!!!!

Mai is a really good person

Mai could you make a drill or hard trap beat on Ableton. I would be interested to see how you manipulate your 808. Hope it would be possible.

Thanks for presentation. I surely rem the famous Fruity Loops. Heard of it yrs back I need to make that single decision for one program. I blundered going into comments. I think am gonna have to download and install both?🤷

Lol you would make an interesting salesman. Yeah this is my favorite thing that I use, but let me do a better job selling you something else 😂

love it

Another tip for automation in Ableton: The vast majority of plugins have automation when you *click* the function you'd like to automate. It'll automatically choose that modifier and queue it up for automation. I've found many automation possibilities that aren't even in the automation list by doing this.

Ableton allows you to right click in automation curves that shit was so crazy for me

I honestly like automations better in fl, having it in different tracks you can see it better. One tip from me is to group it with the track that is automated and click the arrow to show and hide it so you dont have to see it all the time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="127">2:07</a> “Quanitize it” lol

Wait till Ableton 11 drops. this release is going to be fire!!

It makes me really happy when you say "that shit is ass" bc I agree with it every time xD

Ayo at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="132">2:12</a> how did he continuously paste a midi clip? Every time I copy and paste with cmd+c and cmd+v it won’t let me continue to paste a 2nd clip after the 1st pasted clip

When I started making beats in 10th grade. They made me use ableton for like a month. And uhhhhh hell to the fuck no. Then I switched to Maschine and that kinda made me understand placing sounds better. Then I got FL Studio on my birthday August 2019 and I’m never looking back fuck Ableton😭😭😭😭😭

i agree about the part of fl sounds .. it just hits ..

As far as making Lofi beats, would Ableton still win? I'm using Mixcraft and I LOVE it, but it's pretty limited unfortunately

someone told me to watch this. these is fighting words in this video lol def gotta see what ableton hittin for tho

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="11">0:11</a> Genius video editing making the logo appear in the middle of your screen when you're not watching in full screen.

Both are absolute goats🐐🐐

The workflow in ableton is so freaking good.

As a beginner, I have ableton lite live. I want to upgrade and I like ableton better but the full version is twice as expensive as fl. So the only reason I'd lean for fl is it's price. Any advise?

im not really sure why there is such a huge debate about which daw is the “best”. im sure that technically one is capable of doing more then another, but i feel like whatever daw you are most comfortable with and gives you the fastest and most creative work flow is the one thats best for you

me: about to switch to ableton after this vid *remembers fruity soft clipper after watching the snippet at **<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="387">6:27</a>*

In my opinion, FL is superior when it comes to drums. With that being said, I'd say Ableton is amazing when it comes to audio, recording audio in FL can suck lmfao

Wich one is better... 🤔. Cubase or ableton

Sonar is my favorite, but I have used Live and Fruity Loops since they started. Each has it’s use

Should I move to ableton? I tried sum stuff but it's really complex, been using fl/making beats in fl for 2 years now, will it upgrade the quality of my sound and sampling?

I'm still trying to figure out if the logo is a pepper or a fruit?

You said in FL mixing is more visible. Please press TAB in Ableton.

I would like to know what Ableton is like. I've been using FL Studio forever. I've tried other DAWs but not Ableton. I don't think I am going to switch since I am all set with FL but still curious.

Well said

Try Studio One. Apparently it has every feature, even the ones that are upcoming in ableton 11. I use FL & Ableton.

i love you ( no homo ) oh btw i think its nice to level in ableton like in fl in that live view kinda thing u can reach with pressing tab

I’ve only ever used Ableton, you never notice all the pros till someone states it flat out. Work flow is emaculate.

The thing that got me on FL is the fact that i pay once, and get lifetime updates. Thats hard to beat in this world of subscription models.

that shit bussin

i'm learning ableton. it's not that bad. It's just different way to do stuff. Fl studios you warp the samples to sync to the tempo with new time.

I was gonna sass but you knew me well mr abletoner

I use to want the drumroll feature that fruity loops had having ever owned Ableton. But after a few months of producing I figured out how to just ear out the beats I wanted for a track. So in away Ableton forced me to work harder through learning the mental game for music... I feel better about it in the end, feels good to just be like, “I want a trap “drum” beat” and just make it in a few minutes without the drum looper thing in fruity loops.

How can you forget Max for Live! It is one of the characteristics that stands out the most and FL doesn't have anything similar!! To have the option to make your own effects, visuals and instruments! Even if you dont want to learn programming... You can still benefit from all the amazing devices that the community shares (of which many are free!) no matter what genre or style you make. So c'mon... don't exlude m4l like it's an insignificant feature... It is huge.

I’m looking to switch over, I’ve been messing with the Ableton tutorial. The mixer rack is huge for me in FL now that you’ve pointed out there isn’t one in Ableton...But the sampling looks so fire. I don’t want to be going between them either, I want to work in each independently

🔥🔥🔥

I also use both. Definitely FL had those better piano roll, mixer etc. But recording is easy in FL bruh. Idk why so many people crib abt it. Maybe its just abt the workflow smh. One god level thing I like abt ableton is literally the playlist. Everything abt it. Like you don't hv to make clips unique before changing anything. Also you can just cut, copy and paste shit on the time line like you're using premiere pro. That stuff isn't very easy in FL. I try it and I'm getting better at it but yes ableton makes it smooth like butter! 😂 But there is ton of shit in FL which is waaayyy over ableton man! People just sleep. I'm sorry but u didn't even talk in depth abt that. In conclusion i think making quick beats, song arrangement n stuff... FL is the goat 🐐 If you wanna do sound design, sampling shit or playing live.... Ableton is your thing 🥂

Ableton has a soft clipper too - put it on your master the same way as in fl. It’s on the glue compressor. My shit never have headroom in Ableton I’m always clipping with the soft clipper and it bangs

the sound quality changed when you switched to flstudio wierd

As a beginner though; FL studio or Ableton?

Session mode is fire.. it feels more free and experimental. My go to in ableton. When using fl for awhile though you can end up trying to work the same way you layout beats there

Most importantly what is the light you have beamed up at your ceiling?

Nice pov. Switched to Ableton a year ago, but I still make loops in FL Studio though. Ableton better overall though
