This question is just for a curiosity purpose.
Do you guys compose entire songs just using piano roll and mouse?
If so, what is the piano roll feature do you really miss in ableton live?
Ableton's Piano Roll?

Re: Ableton's Piano Roll?
Not generally, but I have on occasion composed variations on melodies using nothing but. I have no feature wishes other than a better representation of a keyboard. Without inset black keys, my mind doesn’t recognize note positions as quickly.

Re: Ableton's Piano Roll?
If I was always going compose entire songs just using just piano roll and a mouse I would use FL Studio.
But I wouldn't do that, so I don't.

DAWS: Live 11 Suite + PUSH2, Studio One, Bitwig and Reason all via an X32 desk: Instruments: modular and analogue stuff, guitars, basses and drums.

I Collab with another producer who swears by FL Studio. I never understood the big deal on why people prefer that piano Roll over Ableton's. FL seems very clunky workflow wise. It's weird though because the producer is not a huge piano Roll user so his workflow seems alot more cumbersome to me compared to Ableton.Sean_Clarke wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 3:58 pmIf I was always going compose entire songs just using just piano roll and a mouse I would use FL Studio.

I hardly ever compose entirely in the piano Roll. It seems slower than just playing it out. I haven't found a DAW that make me feel the opposite. I do compose drum tracks though in the piano Roll, and I use it a good bit to edit performances.
