Which environment is most complete for music production?

Hey

I want that this question like what is the best software, midi, etc is nonsense.

I don't look like the best environment for music production, I look something like an example in my job environment most completely, and not problematic in daily use.

Example:

- I am working as web developers

- I using only apple devices iPhone and MacBook and JavaScript + Vscode - this stuff is not the best on the market, but most completely (out of the box). I don't must spend more time on configuration devices, and software and can make anything in JavaScript (Node/Deno, etc). I like it. And I want that Android is best than iPhone (more functionality) etc, but my mains goals are "it is work", and the Pareto principle.

In this industry is there something similar?

I work on Apple and Macbook / iPhone / iPad and looking most completely soft out of the box + good working hardware. At the moment I thinking about Ableton Suite + Push + Native Instrument software and a device like complete 88.

I thinking also about FL Studio, but this software looks like windows, which is great, but windows vs apple is not user-friendly. What would you recommend to me?

I looking for software/devices almost completely out of the box for creating game music / and techno in my free time.
 
Many go with different "center piece" like "Akai Mpc" , Native "Maschine" , and similar... ,
connected to an external analog mixer with also racked hardware Fxs units
because more near to old school ,
but also because a DAW midi-audio sequencer like Logic and similar ,
tends to take a lot of the brain because of the many things to keep under control ,
drastically reducing the part that has to handle the composition creativity and play the instrument ( with fun ),
reason why in the professional recording studios
there is almost always an operator for the DAW
and another ( or also 2 , 3... , depending on the number of channels to be managed )
as sound engineer on the mixing console ,
to allow the musician/s to focus only on composing and playing the instrument/s ,
( even if the musician however is able to use the daw and the console..)
hope this help
cheers

Is English not your native language? I dont' even know WTF you are asking!
 
I thought the same. I have no idea what the question even is.

What I do know is that there is no music system that functions creatively out of the box. They will all make noise. Ableton is NOT better than FL Studio or Reaper, it is simply different. Everyone does music differently and you choose software and your studio (we don't use the word environment in the way you do) to suit you. Loads of people here do metal music or EDM or other sorts and that means they do it differently to me, so MY preferences are all biased to ME - that means we need info, and you've swallowed a dictionary belonging to somebody we don't recognise.

.... Analog sequencer Moog style ?
but if electric / acoustic guitar , bass , and other non electronic "boxes" have to be recorded ?
tape recorder smpte synchronized ?
(then a synchronizer box smpte-midi machine control-CV Gate unit is required)

Why out of the box? Being different for difference sake doesn't really serve the goal - I would try Logic Pro and see what happens.
 
It is pretty obvious that Intz is not a native english speaker, but I get what he is saying.
The Apple route gives a comfortable user experience, as I've heard.
He is looking for a similar experience from music software.
I'm afraid I can't make a recomendation, because I only know about the stuff I've used.
All the DAW brands try to be complete, so I woud just pick a popular one, and start learning.

I think they mean "easy" when they say out of the box (ie - plug and play, intuitive, etc).

Any modern DAW (digital audio workstation) software available for Mac will allow you to track and use plugins, as well as virtual instruments (like midi software synths). It's a matter of downloading one or two in trial mode to see if they work for you. Then consider price for the DAW as well as any synth software you want to use inside the DAW for creation. Good stuff costs money, although if doing this strictly software based can be done relatively cheap compared to years prior. I definitely advise against using outboard/external gear if trying to keep the complexity and costs down. Since EDM/purely electronic music was mentioned, all of that is digitally based so software can emulate just about anything you want to make that kind of music.
