Ableton live or Cubase

hahahaha I love how my previous post f*cked up the width settings on this thread :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:



:cool:

Scrolling across on my iPhone isnā€™t funny!

Hm, itā€™s really difficult to say, I like both, but for me cubase is more convenient, if you want to create techno or house youā€™d better to use ableton, I thinkā€¦ But for trance cubase is incomparable:Whistling:

Coming in a bit late to this oneā€¦ but its not about what you have, but how you use it.

Cubase is obviously more traditionalā€¦ Ableton is more of a new kid on the block.

Each have their strengthsā€¦ and weaknesses.

You can do absolutely anything you want in Cubase. Unlimited possibilities.

Abletonā€™s stongest features are the fact that all of its FX are easy to use & are all over a lot of the Tech-House / Minimal tracks that you loveā€¦ So youā€™ll be able to get into that sound almost immeadiately if you have Ableton.

Best of both worlds - have Cubase & get a soundcard or new midicontroller keyboard that comes bundled with a version of Liveā€¦ Its the same as Live Intro & has all the FX & you can make the bones of tracks & export or rewire.

Personally, I haveĀ Logic as my main - but I also use Live Intro in this way. I find it a good little sketchpad.

of course there is a diff in sound quality between DAWā€™s ā€¦basically the better the programmersā€¦the better the quality ā€¦the lowest latency & plug-ins !!! ā€¦

thatā€™s it ā€¦thatā€™s all



Adobe has the best programmers in the world ā€¦so its understandable that they have the best sound engineā€™s ā€¦if enough producers became interested in Adobe Audition it could & would become the best DAW !!!..itā€™s mastering tools are just totally awesome ā€¦the best !!:cool:



Audition kicks ProTools butt ā€¦even just Sound Booth kicks Pro Tools butt in sound output ā€¦



just the fact that you can take a favourate track ā€¦a track that you think has been mixed & mastered really good & is really loud & clear



& you really wish your track could get that loud while retaining its EQ quality ā€œnon destructiveā€ ā€¦well in Audition or Sound Booth in just 2 moves all the frequencies & levels in both tracks are calculated ā€¦"i think, if i remember correctlyā€¦ you can analyze up to 10 tracks at once "



& your track is pretty much guaranteed to be just as loud & clear as your fav track

ā€¦you might need to tweak just a couple of things abit on rare occasionsā€¦but it should be close enough ā€¦& finally its DC OFFSET kicks buttā€¦ the best !!



as a long time Cubase & Adobe user ā€¦i think if i didnā€™t rely on Cubase Instruments so much ā€¦i would definitely switch to Audition if Adobe was also willing to start to improve the DAWā€¦ by creating Instruments :smiley:










whoops i almost forgot ā€¦& itā€™s Spectrum Analyzer is totally cool !!;):slight_smile:

yes, but ableton has the prettiest clip colours

I tried out Ableton and found that I really could not get to grips with itā€¦Itā€™s not that it is difficult or anything, I guess that it was just me!



I have heard it said that if you are into dance/techno type music then Ableton is the way to go but I canā€™t comment on that.



I prefer Cubase which has been around for many years now and in my opinion is truly great.



Reaper is not that bad eitherā€¦!!!



Laterā€¦

I hear ye, MiDi and i agree, if youā€™re main stuff is most house, techno, and all that other stuff i would say ableton is the way. iā€™ve been trying it out and i started to pulling my hair out after a couple of minutes, been looking for the perfect program and settled with FL9 for a while, moved to cubase which i find easier to use. but i find some of the plugins hard to understand. i mainly produce metal and techno into one bucket if you could say so. And by far i do find cubase worthy of such a task :stuck_out_tongue:

Neither, I think the best is either Cubuleton or Ablebase!
