(ableton zealots will tell u to "simply" make a new track, freeze the one u want to bounce, slice, drag to new track, and unfreeze the original audio, OR realtime record your bounce, both of these suggestions are asinine workarounds that do not befit a 2015 daw IMO). if yr into straight audio, stick to cubase, ableton doesn't even have bounce-in-place. you can do ridiculous stuff *fast* and this is powerful in the right hands no doubt.Įssentially if yr into midi/control stuff, ableton has a perspective to share that IMO is totally different and interesting from all other daws. i will not contest that ableton has possibly the best and most intuitive interface of any daw, ever. this is mainly when i want to do very weird midi stuff very quickly. I often jam out in ableton clip launch and send various outputs to my desk, then capture and mix down/edit audio in logic. for like a million totally specific reasons (not some BS like "i dont think it sounds good").
but damn do i hate the arranger/mixing side. i would not have bought live except that i got a copy "used" for less than half off, and that makes it worth it to me- i do *love* the midi side of it (i'm talking about the clip launch window here, primarily) and especially the max4live functionality. I personally own a copy of live 9, but mainly work in logic. ableton is really awesome for making crazy midi, either to plug ins, soft synths, or external midi synths- but if you're not into this sort of thing then i'd say ableton is kind of silly for you, especially if you're looking for an environment that excels at mixdown and handling audio in traditional manner. Basically if you work primarily with long chunks of audio (like, say, a "take").
