what if you have more than one monitor ?

FLs is the quickest and easiest for me I love it.
I hated Sonys, I despised Reasons, Ableton was terrible, and Cubase I only used for 2 days so can't say.

With a well designed interface you shouldn't need more than one monitor.

But I do agree that better multi monitor support would be good. It'd be nice to have session view and arrangement view in seperate monitors, or to be able to break of the waveform view/piano roll and put it on another screen.

I have all my VSTs coming up on the 2nd monitor and just tab between mixer and arrangement, works well for me.

To do that would be to make Ableton Live just like every other DAW. One of the main reasons that Live is specal is the fact that it runs efficiently on one monitor making it the most useful for live use. I doubt that Ableton will ever give the option to use Live on more than one monitor.

The best midi editing, bar none is offered in Sonar. The end. Nothing else comes close. From ease of editing to being able to control various sysex parameters directly without diving in menus, it's probably the best you can get.

I have never even thought about running live on two monitors... what's the point? Everything! is right there!

With Live, I also use it with 2 monitors, Live on the left, Vst's on the right, and tab to flip from session to arrange. This workd great, however, I would be in favor of at least the ability to have session on one screen and arrange on the other. Once I have a large pool of midi clips it would be nice to always have them in my view even when arranging, no more tabbing, just drag and drop. My workflow would be improved alot, just by not having to remember what other midi clips are in session view.

I found Sonar to be the least midi friendly and more audio oriented. I find logic and cubase to have a much better midi interface.

Logic is better!

It's definitely a subjective matter, but Sonar does have very good MIDI editing and I definitely prefer it over any other DAW I've used. It actually originated as a MIDI-only app way back in the early Cakewalk days and didn't add audio until much later. A few versions ago (v7) they added some very useful and highly configurable MIDI editing tools, which really made it stand out from the crowd, but ironically that also made it less user-friendly/more bloated in many peoples' opinions. So, that's not to say that it makes Sonar better per se, nor is it perfect by any means. I actually do prefer the way that other DAWs handle some MIDI-editing tasks, but I prefer Sonar's approach overall.
