I experimented with Studio One. The few things I created were slower to do than Ableton, but infinitely more organic. No way would I have been able to create them in Ableton. Wouldn't have happened even if I was the most knowledgeable Ableton user ever. And its arrangement of sections is great. I like the look of it too.
But the limited undo functionality was a deal-breaker. It's not only the mixer that you can't undo, there's one other thing - can't remember. Made it unusable for me. Or, actually, I'd use it for starting ideas, then when the undo problem starts becoming noticeable, I would move the project over to Ableton. How's that for reversal of expectations!
