What DAW's should I buy to get Ableton features in my DAW?
What DAW's should I buy to get Ableton features in my DAW?
I would like some suggestions for DAW's that I can purchase so that I can get as close a features set to what Live has to offer. What DAW's are best?
Please list your suggestions for the closest approximations to the following.
Session View
Warping
Library
Synths:
Operator
Analog
Electric
Samplers:
Sampler
Simpler
Effects:
Beat Repeat Madness
Detonator
Crunch-n-munch
And Session Drums.
And what sample libraries should I purchase that have the closest content to what EIC has to offer?
Thank you for your suggestions, and let me know if the built in SoundBlaster devices come close to any of Live's instruments and effects.
p.s., the internet is made of kittens.

hahahaha. thank you
Funny how there is really nothing out there now that can compare with the Session View in Live. After all these years of DAW development, only Ableton was able to successfully advance the workflow that musicians want to follow - not simply a glorified tapedeck like Pro Tools, etc.
To my (limited) knowledge, the only other DAW/Sequencer that had any arrangement capabilities beyond copy/paste is the old Opcode Studio Vision Pro for the Mac.. back in the mid-late '90s. You could make, say, an 8 or 16 bar loop, call it "verse", and then another separate sequence with audio and MIDI, call it "chorus"... and you could audition your arrangement using keystrokes and step record them into a master sequence as your actual arrangement. Then you could build on top of that for transitions, vocals, etc.
In effect you end up with a workflow that isn't that different from Live, albeit without the real-time fun/performace factor - and with all the annoyances that came with DAWs in the '90s. Gibson bought out Opcode and killed it altogether unfortunately.
