Very, very dope program when you get into it. I'm an only software user, so I went from Cubase SX as my main pre-production tool, to Live 5, and the work flow is so much faster.
Just try it out, also it has the power to be ur main DAW as well. I use it with Kontakt and Battery and I love the speed of getting ideas down and reworking things, def. suits my style.
