I use it for music production. I have rarely used the session view though. Althouh I keep meaning too. I mainly use arrangement view. stuck in my ways i guess, but it works for me :-)

I create my music using Session View or jamming with myself Live then I move the relevant clips in arrangement and begin arranging.
Live = pure dope.

+1 but 99% session view.

I voted "Rewire slave...", though I use it standalone as well. Live Rewired to Reaper gives me the awesome Drum Racks, Rex file support, and the Session view for playing around with grooves.

For audio recording and mixing it's Reaper all the way, so the two programs together give me everything I need and more.

i don't really write how session view works, so i tend to stick to arrangement view. i've used session view once, i think.

Yep +3 Oh yeah yesserie! I'm addicted to session view...
It just makes beautiful (non)sense 98.765476% :D

I like arrangement too for tracking and finishing off..

man that's what makes Live different from the others!! LOL

I am just kidding.. I learned on Session view... with that Berkley Class... really good for jamming and setting things up with the clip envelopes! I really can't get into the Arrangement view until after the session jam has been recorded...


Actually I always start my sets off with session view... get a basic arrangement down... It feels more natural to me... rather than Painting everything in..

I love seeing how people use Live in different ways.. fascinating.

I use it mainly for music production

I sometimes mess with live looping to get some start points


since version 7 I'm trying to mix straight in ableton, since the audio engine has changed it's pretty good.

I still use protools for post production stuff but I have live rewired in it most of the time now

I've got a load of different 'setups' here, old computers sequencing old hardware, self-contained hardware, newer computers running software, etc etc, tonnes of crap. I just make patterns and record/load those into Live for arranging and tweaking.

I use session view most of the time to build arrangements and jam out ideas.
Then i record the rough into arrange view,, bounce it out and finnish in Logic.
I spend most of my time in the session view of Live.

I just got Live on Sunday. I've been learning the in's and out's of Logic for the last year or so. Looking to use 'em both together. From Logic to Live, maybe back to Logic and back to Live and maybe back around again...

Don't know...

Not sure...

We'll get back to you in a year or so on this one...

Live looping percussion in session view.
mainly been working for performance, just starting to get some 'takes' of sessions bounced into arrangement.
