not trying to be a cheerleader here, but these three are stupid.

- you said yourself your loop was cut wrong. then you said how you wanted it to behave, and that live couldnt do that. well guess what you just havent read the fucking manual, you can set the loop length independently from the audio length

- you literally hit a hotkey, touch the knob, move the controller. how much easier can that get without reading your mind?

- yeah, something you havent learned is really live's fault, good thinking

try dragging the dividers, you can get the piano roll to fullscreen pretty much

Not sure if Reason counts as a DAW yet, but fuck...no MIDI out.

they've changed the font in the file browser in the newest fl beta.. 10.8 i think... it's weird and i thought i was on acid because the highlighted folders glides a couple of pixels to the right. it will take some time to get used too...

aint got to many complaints with reaper other then the sounds break up when using samples other then that its all good

Man, thaing about my mu'fucka DAW, shit AINT GETTIN MY DICK WEHET!?! KNOWKM SAKYAINAK!N!N!!?!?!?! LOLSSS!!!!!

I don't have much to complain about Fruity Loops, other than the CPU consumption, but I guess that's not the DAW's fault.

right but isn't that a pain in the ass? shouldn't there be a key command that make it go full screen? The zooming is awkward too

live -> no possibility to get session and arrangement view on two seperated screens.

is it a pain in the ass for you? I don't know! i am overall p. much content now with the piano roll as it is, the zooming took a while to get used to and sometimes it's hard to select stuff correctly but those arent showstoppers.

Ableton's workflow imo is the fastest to work from. I love it.

No real complaints honestly. 64 bit plug-in support would be nice but I'm expecting that to become available soon enough.

live has that lack of plugin latency compensation for automation. And the one screen. And the lack of 64 bit. I mean it is kinda ridiculous.

memory leaks.. can't render to mp3.. again.. beta

yeah, the missing compensation is shitty

i said those things 3 years ago when i was clueless about anything but Reason. I still hate most of the daws out there though. Trying to get used to Reaper once more. Third or fourth time lol.

haha im sorry, im stupid and did not realize this was a way old thread

all good!

Automation in Cubase is a nightmare.

I might switch to FL Studio for that single reason.

Yeah i've never been a fan of the way cubase handles automation.

I like to use midi tracks so I can use separate outputs and have all my vst's listed in the instrument window, but then the automation is separate from the midi track so you have to go looking for it.

Right now i've got a vst playing from a midi track which has filter cutoff automation that i've recorded, and i'm trying to find the automation data to edit it, and it doesn't appear anywhere. Supposed to be able to click the plus sign on the instrument channel and it should show up with active automation with an asterisk but there's nothing there, yet I can see the cutoff control moving as it plays through the track. That's just straight automation of the vst itself, think mapping a midi controller to an insert effect control and recording it would be simple.. nope. Frustrating as hell. And i've looked into it many times in detail, i've setup quick controls and done the mapping manually and half the time I still can't get it to work, it's just convoluted and illogical.

Other than that it's great but fuck it does your head in sometimes when you just want to something that should be simple.

"On a 32bit OS, Live ram crashes arround 1.8gb. On a 64bit OS you get to use a little more. I run a 32bit xp system, and I think the ram limit for a 64bit OS is something like 2.4gb.

To avoid these crashes, have an eye on your OS ram usage while working."

its 3,2 for 32bit and like 128 for 64bit i belive

not for Live it isn't

Live was crashing at around 2.7gb


Little tip before you spend 3 days building your drum kits in simpler change the default preset and use Sampler instead because it gives you the option to either read the samples from disc OR load them into ram

Simpler automatically loads everything into RAM :/

Oh that reminds me, here's a thing that annoys me about Live: When you get a file from someone on a Mac and you're on Windows, or the other way round, and you have all their plugins except theirs are VST and yours are AU (or the other way round), you're still fucked. Always save any patches and send them along

ahhh another one: The empty space in the main window says "drop files and devices here", but some things you have to drop in the track name space instead (why?! nobody knows)

this may sound petty but Live's loading screen confuses me... a guitar, grand piano, and violin. Really how many violinists use ableton. I mean is there even a violin instrument in the program? Guitar? It should be like a keyboard, drum machine and bindle of K or something

that's hilarious... someone should make that and figure out a way to replace it.
