All of them offer lengthy free trials, so I'd suggest doing a little research and trying a few out if you're not sure.Īll of the ones I mentioned are used by major artists that you've heard of, so it's not going to make or break your music.

There are also other popular options like FL Studio, Pro Tools, etc.
If you're serious about making music, pick the one you're most comfortable with, because the price is an investment.
Ableton, on the other hand, will cost you either $359 or $599 depending on how many features you want. Logic Pro X has one version that is $199. There's also a significant price difference, which may matter to someone just getting started that doesn't have a lot of money to blow on software. That being said, Logic is only for Macs, so they all have their pluses and minuses. I ended up going with Logic because it seemed a little more user-friendly and intuitive to me, which is probably no surprise since it's Apple software. I trialed both Ableton 10 (Standard) and Logic Pro X before deciding to go with Logic. Switching DAW's is big waste of time and effort once you've already learned one, which is why you might want to do a little work up front to figure out the best one for you before you start mastering it.

However, if you plan to really learn the software and make real music, it's not going to be long until you'll need to upgrade. If you're planning on downloading this just to mess around, it probably doesn't matter to you. Just figured I'd give a little info for those who actually plan to learn the software and are serious about making music.

But they don't care giving it away for free because they're selling broadcast hardware and monsters like the world's first 12K video camera. Blackmagic is trying to stuff in as many kitchen sinks as possible with every release knowing that on this lower end, the only big competitor is Adobe Premiere integrated with the other CC programs like after effects and Photoshop. Resolve is targeted to indies and lower cost films where you want 1 program that'll do video, audio, color, and effects editing in one. Avid split audio off to Pro Tools, and really don't focus on effects and such with either program.

Otherwise, keep in mind the lite version offered here has fewer daw features than cakewalk, so if you're learning to eventually be good at music composition and mixing, you'll hit a wall with free ableton sooner than you will with cakewalk - meaning $$ to upgrade to full ableton. You can create edm in any good daw, but you can certainly look into this program if you've got an interest. Programs like Cakewalk and Pro Tools have been around decades, so there's hardly anything they can't do.Īs for Ableton, yes, they've got a market in edm.
Then, it's up to specific features and needs that most beginners won't even know to look into. You are seriously recording, mixing, composing music for a living.). Once you've learned a powerful daw, it's easy enough to move to another once you've gotten to a high level (ie. Using a DAW isn't complex, which is why you've got kids mixing and making tracks on these. They may seem complex, but a few YouTube beginner videos will have you going in no time. Both are so powerful, most beginners will stare at the features and buttons for years and years. For more audio editing, tracks mixing etc - Pro Tools. For a free music creation tool (daw - digital audio workstation), Cakewalk.
