Does anyone use/know anything about this software? It looks interesting. I don't have any recording studio software for my computer yet - can I use the Ableton Live for this, or must the Ableton be used in conjunction with other recording software? Thanks. |

I have used ableton live a little bit. And from what little i have done i really like it. It is supposed to be real real stable for live music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Do you have independent recording software (such as Adobe Audition)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, i use 100% software. I feel more open. I dont know why but i feel restricted and confined when i use hardware as odd as that will sound. I like being able to fly through various programs at the click of a button, i can stay in a zone and move quickly and efficiently! What does Adobe audition do? |

It's software. It's a multi-track recorder. I'm just wondering if the Live software will perform the same muti-track recording functions or not. |

ableton live is more for live performing... if you really want a good recording software supporting multiple tracks, i'd choose cubase or logic instead... |
||||||||

i'd pick acid over ableton if your mixin together audio, but personal preferance at the end of the day |

ive been using ableton for a few years. it can do what you want, it's not (as the name suggests) just for live, it's a great audio/vsti sequencer |

I am going back to the hardware. It's expensive, but it's more fun. I'm sick of software and the utter inundation of new things. I can't think straight. I just bought an atari st with c-lab notator for 100 bucks. I have a couple analogue synths with midi. I need to get a sampler and some effects. Maybe a dx7. It's just more fun. If Im on my pc im usually worried about the latest updates or new emails. etc... |
||||||||

plus, there's tons of old stuff out there for really cheap now. Really good effects boxes. Racks made for doing certain sounds. Things made long agao that are just as good as vsts and really cheap. Stuff I couldn't afford at the time.. haha |

Post your 'analogue' nonsense if you dare........... bogala, where? |
||||||||
|

I like Logic, but it's only for Mac isn't it? |

I'm recording a singer/songwriter friend using this software and it is fantastic. The workflow is easy to manage; easily colorcode and rename clips, scale and edit the rythm of drumtracks to "fit" the audio. Plus I had about 6 different tracks going and it only was indicating 3% of system resources in use! |
||||||||
|

Disagreed. The reason why it is "suitable for live performing" and is marketed as such is simply because the interface design is incredibly transparent and intuitive. It's an excellent DAW in its own right. |

Ableton is that bomb. Stable live performances (I have seen akufen use it live, and it sounded phat), and you can do full live mastering, that also sounds phat. If you use floops, and want a more natural human arrangement, try breaking all your fruityloops down, and then mixing it in ableton. Its super easy to learn how to use as well. Low maintenance. |

ableton is a brilliant piece of software, i've used it for about a month now. The built in audio effects are awesome, especially the resonator and grain delay. You can trigger sounds from Reason by using the Rewire function. |
||||||||
|

|
|
What is Reason - multi-track studio software? If so, how is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Best way to describe it is a reasonably accurate emulation of hardware. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok... But can it be used as a home studio, or do I need do go with Cubase or Adobe Adution or something like that? (Seriously, I know jack about computer recording.) |
||||||||
|

Empricus, friend. Are you looking to do recording of audio signals primarily? If so, dont touch reason or fruityloops. Live will let you record with ease, sequence midi and has full rewire functionality. Plus it is actually affordable to non-EMI executives. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You can't use reason to record other stuff into, so if you have hardware synths/drum machines etc. you won't be able to use it in reason (on its own). Please elaborate a bit more on what you want to do exactly and maybe we can recommend some other software? Are you looking for something to "make" sounds in, or something to arrange sounds made from other programs/sample CDs/from "real world" instruments/etc. |

I need software that basically acts like a multi-track recorder (such as my Tascam 424 MK II tape 4-track), but I also want to be able to fuck with what I record as much as possible. I'm also planning on buying some sort of interface and a synth controller (any recomendations as to which interface and what syth software is good would be helpful) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ableton Live would suit you well. Try the demo. For the controller, this would be sick. |
||||||||

Thanks. |

i use ableton live 3 and it is fucking swizz! i have heard that ableton live 4 is even swizzer! it has midi controling capabilities and can use vst synths which ableton 3 cannot. so in summary, ableton live is fucking swizz! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and you can manipulate your tracks in real time which is why they call it LIVE which is also swizz if you wanna laptop battle or something! |
||||||||
|

|
|
I love live its definitely worth the money |
