Having used FL Studio for the last 3 years, I can honestly say FL Studio is the best music production software because of its ease of use and friendly user interface. Ableton has every feature that FL Studio has but it is for advanced users who already know...
If you're trying to do something advanced you will soon find the limits of this software. Fl studio is not enough for professional production. One of the limits are in the first place the flexibility of the software.
I like that there are many tools jam-packed into the top toolbar of Sound Forge. Instead of having to click through all the menus and sub menus, I can just click on one of the icons to activate an effect or feature that I need. I like that a quality app...
It crashed a lot for me. Even after fresh installs and updates the crashes continued. It got to the point where I used Audacity instead of Forge. It probably wont happen to you, but crashes can still happen to a small amount of users.
