Ableton Live 8

I only use this when mucking around

A must-have in the live set.

I mainly use this for live sets where sampling is required, in conjunction with the Novation Launchpad.

My favorite DAW

Great software for the pro

If you play Live, you don't leave the studio without this.

Really love they layout of this DAW. I can put ideas down in minutes.

Studio & Performance

I mainly used it in combination with my AKAI pad

Seriously, you need to get Ableton Live. It's the world's best DAW in my opinion (so don't take that the wrong way!) The workflow feels so easy to use and fluid, Everything is in one screen for you instead of having to have 10 windows open to access your plugin browser. And it is also the best DAW for OS X. Aside from a few minor Yosemite bugs like: ReWire not working without OpenTransport (Not available anymore), And Massive having a small black bar at the bottom of the wrapper sometimes, It's perfect in every single way <3
