Fun software for writing songs, and lots of excellent plugins included
I was using only Logic Pro before but after buying Ableton I tend to use it for writing/recording and then I bounce those tracks and mix in Logic. Overall the CPU utilization on Mac is better in Logic than it is in Ableton, but Ableton session view is really great for sketching out songs quickly.

Live 12 Suite
Fantastic DAW packed with quality stock plug ins that can be molded in to anything. Live 12 Suite is a rock solid platform that I would recommend to anyone beginner or experienced.

Still love it over a year later
I went for it and bought Ableton Suite in November 2024, and it was my first proper DAW. I'd horsed around in the free MPC DAW, and LMMS, which I have a lot of respect for, this was a big investment for me.
I continue to love this program, although honestly all other mainstream DAWs seem very capable too. For what it's worth, I picked this one. It's really logical, expansive, and user friendly. There's a ton of free info and courses out there to teach you how to use it. When I sit down in front of Ableton, it hits the sweet spot of feeling like I'm in a fully kitted music studio, while also offering a variety of clear workflows to shape your track.
I make techno on it, I play guitar and sing into it, synthwave, lofi, alt rock, indie. Sometimes I just play with the synths and make cool sounds on my midi keys. I am also beginning to go down the slide of buying a million 3rd party plugins, lol.
Ah, man, I'm sure you'd be good with any of the big names, but I love Ableton. :)
