![]() ![]() They have a great onboard editor, a nice rack viewer, and even a video editor that is used by the program’s customers to showcase their work. The majority of its loops and instruments are compatible with all the major software sequencing packages, which allows even the least experienced computer user to compose and perform with these options.Ībleton's other MIDI tools are also impressive, and I think a lot of their popularity can be tied back to those two things. Ableton's extensive library of sounds and loops comes in handy for arranging and performing live shows, as well as recording studio tracks. Many aspiring musicians use Ableton to practice playing and record their ideas before putting them on the market as original songs. The software also offers numerous electronic musical communities online where musicians and producers hang out and exchange loops and information. Cubase has become one of the leading digital audio workstations for both home and commercial audio studios.Ībleton features a large library of sounds, tools, and loops from which you can choose and arrange them to create your own musical pieces. The powerful audio tools provide versatility in terms of automation, allowing the user to simply drag and drop different elements into a mix, offering complete control over all sounds and parts of the track.Ĭubase also has some remarkable hardware features, including a large sound card, headphones, USB interface for computer playback, a large, flexible audio interface, low-latency recording and playback, an onboard synthesizer, and lots of routing options. Cubase’s dedicated CC121 controller is great but more suited to a studio setting. Electronic musicians typically prefer it. Ableton Live’s hardware support, which includes controllers like Ableton push, which covers a range of controllers, is more geared toward Live musicians. One of Cubase's main advantages is its unprecedented audio editing ability, the ease and creativity it allows when working with a full track of instruments and sounds. Hardware support is excellent for both Cubase and Ableton Live. It was revolutionary in that it incorporated a large library of sounds from different sources, allowing it to process them into a piece of music that came together in real time, with almost no programming. just the mindset you proffer, which is, imho, plain wrong.Cubase was originally a superior program for sequencing and editing, live tracks, with a huge range of synthesis tools, "libraries", and effects. Logic is similar to Cubase., does both Audio & midi recording. Pro-Tools is great for Audio Recording (terrible for midi). Albeton is good for loops & Live Performance. There are certainly no valid technical reasons for a lack of ports from the market-mindset vendors. It is only good for making Beats, but not for recording audio (nightmare). Linux audio only sucks if you say it does. Linux audio does not, in reality, suck - it actually ROCKS, hard. If these DAW's can do it, there is technically no reason the other DAW's can't - its just the fixed idea that "linux audio sucks" that prevents this from happening in the industry. While the other producers are cussing through the hoops of eLicense and dongle management and unsigned/outdated kext's for super-expensive boutique/cocktail hardware, the Linux DAW users in my studio are happily whistling through the edits with their USB and Firewire-based audio i/o devices, many of which work quite happily 'out of the box', "apt update & apt upgrade" dilemma notwithstanding. My Presonus-based Ubuntu Studio DAW is the lowest latency, easiest to use and set up DAW in the studio. I think you don't have enough modern experience to make this claim. >I still think Linux audio is a disaster. Ableton Live 9 or later Apple Logic Pro 9 & 10 Avid Pro Tools 11 or later (Pro Tools First is not supported) Cakewalk by Bandlab FL Studio 20 Propellerhead. You should probably try it again and update your understanding of the scene - you might've had a point 10 years ago, but as of today: just no. Plus, VST plugins run great under Ubuntu Studio. ![]() ![]() I challenge you to actually install Ubuntu Studio and repeat this claim. Same with BitWig, Ardour and Harrison Mixbus. Not to mention: ZynthianOS! Oh my! Monome NORNS! Holy heck! See also, Waveform, Zrythmn, Qtractor and MusE.Īs does BitWig Studio - an Ableton Live analog, arguably more powerful and feature-rich than Ableton Live, which makes sense as it is being built by ex-Ableton folks. As does Ardour, which is easily in the same class of any of the other DAW's in terms of capabilities. So many producers are giving it up for cheaper and more effective tools such as REAPER, which not only runs circles around Pro Tools but also runs really, really great on Linux. Pro Tools isn't the only DAW game in town, in fact its not even the most commonly used any more and its also not the 'best' DAW for many jobs - merely the most entrenched in peoples minds as a "pro tool". Based on decades of experience, I do not agree one bit.
