Is there any reason why i should learn to use cubase instead of sticking with ableton? I just bought a audio interface and it came with cubase, i only opened it once and figured that its something i really need to learn if i want to do anything with it.. It runs on ableton as well without any problems that i noticed. I have used ableton for some time now, or should i say learning to use it for a while.

What i want from program is midi(which ableton seems to do quite well in, i heard cubase is good with midi too), recording(loops from recordings mostly) and ofc putting it all together.

So, is there anything so special in cubase compared to ableton that i should spend hours and hours learning it?

i think protools is best for you maybe?

I need midi on it also, so protools is kinda out of the question. I might get it anyways someday since i heard that it has some good audio engine and processing audio is easier on it than it is on ableton(i kinda dislike how its done in ableton), also friend can use it, so learning isnt that big of a deal. But currently im not interested on learning protools, since i want to learn the basics first on this whole making music thing and prefer to do so utilizing midi.

I wouldn't recommend protools, it's often a program that comes with an audio interface (in europe atleast), and theres a major problem with that. It decides to crash whenever it feels like, and all your unsaved process will be lost.

Cubase though, as I've heard is a decent reliable program to use

Fl studio or ableton
