[OT] Ableton's summing bus

[ethios4]

I know this is very OT for the Lounge, but has anyone noticed Ableton's mix engine is really inferior to Pro-Tools?

[squelcht]

I think in part it largely depends on if your on a Mac or PC

[1nfinitezer0]

hmm, it sounds fine on my iPad

[liveISlife]

You must of forgot to enable the "PRO" setting. RTFM NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU WASTE MY LOUNGE TIME!

[ethios4]

I always forget to turn on the PRO setting....could someone reach the back of my head and flip it on?

[liveISlife]

Np *flick*

[ze2be]

No OTs here, you'll get thrown into General!

[t1mp]

I think Records mixer faders throw harder than Abletons. Just throwing that out there.

[beats me]

My hero DJ PROducer says Live is crap.

[ethios4]

Good....building some consensus here....Ableton's mix bus is crap, and it's better to mix your tracks through a DJ mixer. There really is something to this Lounge thing....really getting down to brass tacks here now that we can properly chill out.

can i order another wiskey please...

[ethios4]

You're gonna need it cuz I'm about to post about the benefits of cranking 20 Hz to the MAXXX!!!

[ikeaboy]

Oh the double standards, bunch of drunks

[crumhorn]

I've discovered that Ableton sounds much better than other DAWs providing you always render on a Thursday evening. Monday afternoons are the worst. The difference is like night and day. I don't feel the need to do any double blind, or phase inversion tests because the difference is so obvious. Anyone who doesn't hear this is obviously a cloth eared idiot.

This is in the UK. It's possible that results may vary according to time zone.

There's also a sweet spot a 3:23am on Tuesday morning and again at 4:34am on Wednesday morning.....possibly they are harmonics of each other??
