Big ups, thanks for your feedback.

Question people - since FL Studio runs off of VSTs, and since I own Sytrus (one of the popular FL Studio synths for electro/house), will I be able to use this within Ableton? If I have it, is it still recommended I get Operator?

EDIT: Also, I keep hearing about Massive, is that usable in Ableton as well? Recommended?

You can re-wire Fruity Loops into Ableton, then you can compare both Sytrus and Operator.
Massive can be used in Ableton, it's Vst friendly. :)

dude; reason has the simplest interface ever, and it makes way more sense then other DAW's for routing and stuff. if it would support VST i'd stick with it.

The only drawback for me with FL is the interface. I just don't like it, and it feels unintuitive (to me). I started with FL and couldn't get anywhere with it, but the minute i switched to Ableton Live everything started to click.

I'd say try a few out, and pick the one you like best.

If you own Sytrus then you also own the VST version which you can use in Ableton. Sytrus and Operator are both FM synths so if you have one you don't really need the other as they will both cover a similar range of sounds.

don't even need to rewire, fl can be loaded as a vst plug in ableton.

All good dudes.. I'm installing Ableton 8 right now on my new PC. I'll learn it and then when I'm ready, I'll dig up some tutorials for Sytrus which I own from FL Studio 9 and load that into Ableton and get the best of both worlds.

Now time to learn Ableton - I'll be back, you can count on it ;)

Thanks for the help everyone!
