>The only difference is that Abelton Live and Bitwig (Runs on Linux) are designed for live performance. Ableton, at least, also functions perfectly fine in the traditional piano-roll and timeline paradigm of DAW workflow too. Don't let the 'Live' part of the name mislead you into thinking it's only for live performers; it does everything the 'old DAWs' do, AND it's got great features to assist in live performance. Also in terms of underlying concepts, if you know one DAW well, you can usually learn another one fairly quickly, as it becomes more a question of learning the interface more than anything else.

Ableton is probably the best DAW right now simply because it has the most tutorials online. I remember way back when I used Cubase. Couldn't find any decent help online. With Ableton, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to tutorials and lessons.

> if you know one DAW well, you can usually learn another one fairly quickly I couldn't disagree more, but I am talking about doing professional work. The concepts are all the same but getting where you are proficient in a DAW takes a very long time to find the quirks and strangeness that each one comes with to produce a quality piece. Video Editors are hundred times harder to switch.
