Oh boiii. I have a feeling this isn't going to be answered the best.
I have worked on for fl for 5 years and honestly, there's so much automation and better things in ableton and I sort of make hyperpop glitch emo mixing, sound design and mastering myself, but it's hard to switch immediately as I have 100s of presets for almost everything. vocals, mixes, starting masters, busses, effects, everything.

Not even sure what people will tell me, I was thinking maybe there is a way to hire someone to do all this for me? or, I don't even know.

My good advice. Don't switch. Ableton is DAW like many others. Have some good sides and also bad sides. The main difference are max for live devices in Ableton. Everything else is not worth switching if you have some workflow and many presets in other DAW.
If max for live devices aren't your main reason of switching then don't switch. Other things you can substitute using free or paid plugins. It's not worth to move to other DAW in your case.

 

If I was a "free" FL Studio user, I would be looking into switching too. When ImageLine purchased UVI, they acquired some programming talent. Say they were to task them with protecting FL, you could find yourself waiting/depending on R2R for everything and anything going forward; or being stuck on some old version. I can think of many reasons I would not go back to FL Studio as my DAW, but possibly having all my work locked up and stuck with an old version would be right up there with any of the other reasons.
