New Live user. Question about multitrack editing

Post by diegux » Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:06 pm

Hi everyone, I am an experienced Cubase/ Reaper user who just bought Push 2 and feel very happy with my new toy.
I am in the process of switching DAW and need to ask a question to the group.
Which is the best way to edit a bunch of tracks that are supposed to go together (eg multitrack drums) ? What technique do seasoned users use?

Thanks a lot for your time

Audio? Warped or not warped? Timing related edits — quantize, groove or similar —  are best done in Arrangement view with multi-clip selections. It's not uncommon to work with samples directly on the timeline there (I don't). For group audio processing route the drum tracks to a buss (another audio track) or several.

Detailed source editing usually needs to happen in a separate editor on a track by track basis, but most processing can be done in Live of course.
