It would look a lot like FL Studio, which caters more towards that end of the market.
- packetlost 6y agoFL Studio is quite powerful, though it does seem to cater more towards electronic music production and live sets. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use pre-made loops in FL Studio that wasn't an absolute novice. GarageBand on the other hand...
- farias0 6y agoDude, FL Studio is so much more complex and flexible than Ableton! So much that I'm switching to Ableton for a while to see if I can get more productive and spend less time troubleshooting stuff I'd say the opposite: Ableton is more focused and simpler, streamlining lots of stuff (live VSTs) without being less powerful. Kinda Apple-ish in a way.
- andybak 6y agoI don’t know FL very well but Ableton’s power is cleverly designed and is easy to miss when you only use the obvious surface features.
- alexilliamson 6y agoYou can run python scripts in FL Studio. I think it's more accurate to say that FL caters to midi/piano roll workflows. It's more about style than complexity level.
