I am getting into producing and i am going to be using vst plugins which will be vst instruments and effects. Which program of the two handles these the best and which of the two has the better workflow? I am also going to be recording vocals. Thank you for your time and answers.

I use both FL Studio Producer Edition and Ableton Live, and my personal preference is for FL Studio. It just works best for me, the workflow is great. Handling of plug-ins is not problematic with both of these. Just try the demo versions and see what works best for you:

In case you end up getting FL Studio, you can get 10% discount on your first order from image-line with this promo link for new customers: https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAA468

Just make sure you get the right version. The demo is basically the same as the Producer Edition, except for some of the generators like Sytrus and Directwave that are only available in the Signature Bundle. You can compare the versions here: http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/features.html

Good luck!
