Amps that’s always a good feeling, can’t wait to hear it. 😉

at risk of shilling for plugin alliance again, they’ve got a sale through tomorrow … $30 for any plugin (minus a couple of exceptions) and they have two codes so you can buy two if you want. if you’ve never bought from them, you can probably stack their survey discount too.

if you’re looking at synths, lion and bx oberhausen are both really good, especially at that price and byome is an amazing modular fx setup.

HLLWN-2999 and PMPKN-2999 are the codes, happy shopping.

Amps Hands up who is using Ableton?

Largely all Ableton now although I would still consider myself a Cubase user as well. Quite frankly I’d do much more in Cubase if it weren’t such a CPU hog on my seven year old computer. 🙁

Amps Ableton 8 (I think) on an iMac from 2006 😳

303abuser

Amps Also, delighted to see Jay in his Bayern gear, an unexpected bonus this saturday morning!

Gotta represent my team fella! They’re tearing it up as of late.

Pretty much exclusively Ableton. I’ve been using it so long it’s second nature now. I started on Cubase though but found Ableton just so much more intuitive when I switched over (which if I remember was version 4!). I have an old version of reason but never really invested the time to learn the sequencer - it’s something I’ve meant to do and as I’ve said above I’m planning to upgrade as it can now be used as a plugin. Am waiting for black Friday…

I should add that I’ve been using Ableton to mostly DJ with since about version 5, until the last five or so years where I’ve increasingly been producing in it as well. I still get better mixdowns out of Cubase though - which I’ve used since 1994.

loopdokter why cubase over ableton for mixing? just a familiarity thing or workflow?

I get better results. My mixdowns sound better. Low end sounds tighter. I don’t know why exactly it is, but I’m not the only one who has this issue with Ableton. Apparently people have done audio engine comparisons and it’s supposedly the same as other DAWs in terms of quality, but I’m not entirely convinced.

That said, in terms of ease of creativity nothing comes close to Ableton that I’ve encountered. The audio and routing capabilities are pretty phenomenal.

loopdokter fair enough. i’ll be sticking with ableton as there’s no way i’m learning another daw, but it’s good to know the differences.
