I’m an intermediate producer working mainly with Hip Hop, RnB, and EDM, using Ableton Live 12 Suite in my home studio. After switching from FL Studio and previously using Ableton Live Lite, this version feels like a huge step up.
What I love most is Ableton’s minimal and fast workflow. Everything feels intuitive and keeps me focused on creativity. The included plugins, instruments, and effects in the Suite version are top-notch and easily good enough to produce professional-quality tracks without relying heavily on third-party plugins.
Coming from FL Studio, the transition was smooth, and Ableton’s workflow suits my style much better, especially for arranging, sound design, and experimenting with ideas. Stability has been solid, and Live 12 feels polished and modern.
Overall, Ableton Live 12 Suite EDU is an excellent choice for students who want a powerful, professional DAW at a fair price. Highly recommended.
