I was watching a video on Ableton and the guy was high on on it for its application for guitarists but he was saying it was lacking in drummer options.

Is it a common thing to switch between different DAWs depending on what you need? Are there software incompatibility issues that would be an issue? Or is it just better to find one that suits all or most of your needs and stick with that?

Also, I have zero experience with a MIDI controller but I want to be able to experiment and add other sounds other than just guitar, bass, & drums. Is the Ableton Push the way to go or are there are comparable MIDIs I should look at?

it is very common to switch daws or chain them together. pick a daw and learn it but don't be bound by it. each daw has it's strengths. 'rewire' by propellerhead allows audio signals and midi events to be passed between two open programs. so, #reason can be rewired into #ableton or abletom can be rewired into studio one pro etc.

so grab that studio one pro demo, grab an ableton demo, and a reason demo and you have quite the studio for midi, virtial instruments, and audio tracking mixing, and mastering
