Wait, was your combo shot one of each? or two of each? I've been curious to learn more about getting both (already had two Pfizer) but resources on the matter are hard to find
Some Canadian provinces treated mRNA vaccines as interchangeable. In Ontario a lot of people got a first dose of Pfizer and a second of Moderna.
There's currently a study underway in the UK (I forget the name, but it run by the University of Oxford) to assess the efficacy of mixed-dose vaccination.
More than mRNA vaccines as interchangeable, we (Ontario) mostly treated the oxford vaccine as interchangeable with the mRNA vaccines too, until we started giving it to less people.
The best combo so far (June) was AstraZeneca first then Pfizer (not the opposite, nothing then about Moderna), the next good one will be probably intranasal AstraZeneca after some mRNA:

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/373/6553/397 - "the ideal
vaccination strategy may use an intramuscular vaccine to elicit a
long-lived systemic IgG response and a broad repertoire of central
memory B and T cells, followed by an intranasal booster that recruits
memory B and T cells to the nasal passages and further guides their
differentiation toward mucosal protection, including IgA secretion and
tissue-resident memory cells in the respiratory tract."

That said, current vaccines don't provoke the exact same response as an actual infection, particularly in that they don't fully stimulate an immune response in the mucous membranes of the upper repository tract. Here's an Scientific American round-up article (from back in March): https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/to-beat-covid-we-...

The current vaccines are excellent at helping the body stop the virus as it progresses into the lungs and further (thus the massive reduction in severe illness and deaths). But it still means that there's a period of a few days after initial infection when a vaccinated person has a relatively naive immune response (while the virus is mostly just in the nose/throat). This would then result in the person still being pretty contagious. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28014448).
I would like to see intranasal Novavax (intranasal mRNA is more difficult ?), having good results, as an option to this mix..
This may sound unhelpful, but if you have good enough organic growth somebody may post it in the subreddit (and many other places) without your prompting
As a long time (15+yrs) user of both. FLS has better ergonomics in a lot of places. Especially piano roll (slide MIDI notes) and arrangement view (automation as standalone clip). Plus the razor tool, my god...
FLS doesn't have a max for live equivalent, but I'd guess 90% of people don't use MFL. The edison recording workflow is hot trash IMO, or else I'd pretty readily move back to FL.
I really really enjoy using Ableton and have stuck with it for years now, but one of the first things that struck me once I swapped from FL Studio was how stupid it was that Ableton's piano roll lacked this fairly basic yet crucial tool..
