anyone using Live2 as their primary recording environment?
I've been using DP and PT for years, but am itching to get out of OS9 once and for all. I finally bought a copy of Live2 and find it very fun. Anyone actually using it as a primary DAW? Much of my stuff is audio-only, drum loops and live instruments overdubbed. Seems like there might just be enough horsepower to make it work...although it would be nice to have some basic waveform edit/trim capabilities internal to the program.
I have been using MOTU DP for years and due to their apparent lack of commitment to OS X, I now much prefer using Ableton Live for just about everything. As I mentioned in another post, if Ableton were to add just these three improvements: AU/VSTi , G4 AltiVec support and QuickTime video, I would replace DP as my main recording environment.
I use Logic for most of my work(video scoring mostly), but if Live had Quicktime sync, and VSTi support(even if it was audio-only via ReWire) it would be my main thang. I still use it alot, but for now it's mostly a studio "sketchpad". I guess that's pretty much what everyone else said. It's surely capable of producing a "finished" product, you just have to get everything ready elsewhere.
myself as well,
i've been using DP since 1991
and protools since it was called "sound tools"
live is by far much more efficient.
the days of racks of midi gear are over.
now we have an app like live that manipulates audio like midi.
i've adapted.
i built a pc just for live. and spent a fraction of what i would've paid for
a new mac and DP.
the choice is clear.....
