Ableton Live


Does anyone here use this program? I just bought it and am just starting to watch the tutorials. I decided on Ableton based on a friend's experience with it who uses it for electronic music production.

Rather than a straight linear recording, it's set up more to use looped samples, which is what I was more interested in. My goal with it is mostly to create backing tracks that I can ultimately play over.

I've watched my friend use it and it's pretty amazing. Once you create the basic drum beat, you literally just drop other samples into the mix and it snaps them right to the beat. It also does time stretching extremely well, so if your sample doesn't totally match up to the beat, it corrects it.

Re: Ableton Live


Sounds cool!! I got a small midi controller as a gift and it came with a demo for Ableton. I should give it a shot!

Re: Ableton Live


I tried Ableton Live, and I just couldn't figure it out. It does seem to be geared more for electronic music. A guy at Guitar Center whipped up some phat beats in about 10 seconds. It took me about 10 hours to figure out that I couldn't figure it out.

I just started using it a few weeks ago and I'm loving it.
