Ableton Forum

The question might have been silly, but it sparked yet another interesting discussion around here. I'm currently diving into Alchemy, and I love that it is both infinitely tweakable but also instantly musical. It's great to have so many options, but sometimes something just works and you just need t...

I took advantage of their 50% deal and upgraded to the full version a couple weeks ago. Now I'm slowly making my way through a 4-hour course from Groove3.com so I can make the most of this beast. I can already see the endless possibilities.

The C1 is a great mic for vocals and definitely worth the extra $50. A lot of people compare it to mics that cost 5x more.

+1.. along with my first iPhone last month = big additions to my creative projects in 2014

And, the good news is, there are lots of great sampled pianos you can play in Ableton. If you're looking for some something that won't break the bank, check out the "Piano Live Pack" & "Day Time Traffic Piano" from Detunized here: http://detunized.com/live_back_packs/index.ph...

I got an iPad a couple weeks ago specifically for music and recording, and the ways it's going to enhance my setup have majorly surpassed my initial expectations for it. But control surfaces haven't been big in my workflow (I sold my barely used apc20 a long time ago), so I didn't buy it specificall...

I don't know.. I think it's far sillier to complain about someone directing you to a place where you found a great deal. If Live 8 upgrades are no longer available directly through the Ableton shop, it sounds like support was just trying to be helpful instead of simply saying, sorry can't help ya! A...

I agree that you probably shouldn't quit the day job, but there are always exceptions to that rule. Sometimes it seems the only way for me to really get something accomplished creatively is when I block out time to completely commit and focus on nothing else. Sometimes that's what's required.. but s...

Better yet, where's a link to any good music made with Bitwig?

Great video & track!

I wouldn't build it in the shed if it's not going to block out all the traffic noise.

Awesome!

I choose Ableton for its diversity. I like that it's both complex and user-friendly. That it's recording software and performance software. That it's an instrument. I like that I've been using it for two years and have still barely tapped into all that it's capable of. I'm happy with 8 for the time ...
