Live makes you work in a different way, so once you learn it, and there is so much depth to it, it pushes you in new directions.
It`s great for production, very intuitive, and very instantaneous, which is what you want when trying to translate your mind into sound.
It`s horses for courses, but if you are open to new methods and ideas, I would try it.

Or to put it another way.

I`ve been using bog standard sequencers and soft studios for years.
Logic, Cubase etc.
I jumped onto the soft studio thing when it kinda first happened.

For ages I`ve been told I need to check out Live, but I just wouldn`t have it.
Why learn something else new, what more can it offer me?

Eventually I was pursuaded, and so I got a cracked copy.
A week later I purchased Live 5.
