I've been a MetalHead for most of my life but always thought it was a bad idea to stick to just one genre of music. So I've a pretty eclectic taste in music & listen to anything from Classical to HipHop & Thrash to Funk (though I could never really gt into Country or Reggae). But this past few years I've got into BreakBeat/DnB/DubStep electronic music in a big way too & have been having a go at producing some of my own. I've been using Reaper for a few years now & totally love it (Cubase before that) but wasn't really coming up with what I felt was a completed BreakBeat tune. Rock tracks weren't a problem. I'd been reading about Ableton Live & remembered I had a Lite version lying about from ages ago so in no time at all I was creating Drumloops, Basslines & Synth Leads with pure ease ( well compared to what I was coming up with in Reaper) The creative workflow Live offers is amazing & not just for electronic music but song writing in general. But I have come across a couple of kinks in the armour. And that would be comping & final mixing. Compared to Reaper or Cubase I think Live falls a bit short here, recording & editing multiple audio takes is so much easier in Reaper & I think you can be more accurate when mixing your track. I'm not trying to start a this DAWs better than that war because apart form the few criticisms I had about Live I ended up buying the full version this week. Thanks to Philly at the Marketplace forum. I'm having a lot of fun with it & with Live & Reaper combined I'm looking forward to making music again So the question is......Are there many of you out there using Ableton Live to make/record Rock music & if so how are you finding it? Or maybe like me, your using it along with Reaper/Sonar/Cubase etc. ??
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
