![]() ![]() I think it actually might be the best “beginner’s DAW” too because of all the built-in help and the simple layout. ![]() Plus the Cubase Mix Console- much as folks seem to complain about it- is much more useful and usable than anything Live currently offers for mixing. Live also has really nice audio and MIDI routing capabilities.Įven though I had fun working in Live, I always came back to Cubase, and the reason is pretty simple: Cubase does more. Even now that they added dual monitor support, you still see nearly everything you need on a single screen without having to shift around a bunch of windows. I actually really like Live’s “everything in one window” philosophy. I write and track in a very linear fashion, so Session View’s no good to me. I understand Session View, and think it offers lots of opportunities for both DJs and composers- but it’s just not how I think when I’m making music. Every track I completed in live was done entirely in Live’s Arrangement view, which is more or less like Cubase’s piano roll. People who love the Ableton “workflow” are usually talking about Session View, which I simply never found a use for. I have done a fair amount of real work in Live 8 and 9. P.s… Also i really just dont like the look of it… kind of looks a bit cheap (no offense to anyone) I ask primarily in terms of workability, ease of use, speed, stability. Has anyone ever owned ableton? Has anyone ever made to switch to or from ableton? Positive or negative, is it indeed a comparable or better alternative? This would be for midi/sample based compositions. I’ve managed to set up a pretty good workflow/system with cubase, and frankly i cant find any reason to seriously consider anything else. It was like learning a new language!īut, being open minded im willing to consider anything, if it is indeed a better, faster, and more effective alternative. Fyi, i tried the trial the other week and it gave me a headache. I’ve been with cubase since sx3 and am thoroughly integrated… I dont even want to begin to imagine the 3-6 mth set back learning a whole new system. One of my collaborators in particular has been pushing me to make the switch to Ableton…I write film/ad/video game type music.Īs he states it, “not only can Ableton do what any other Composition based DAW can do, but has the added advantage of amazing workflow”… ![]()
