Sometimes it bothers me that boring and "cheap" music is promoted above more interesting sounds (imo), like a chain store vs. a family business. However, MIDI packs are really great for people who want to enjoy making music without getting too deeply into it.

Now I can honestly say Ableton is almost the perfect DAW. I think it still needs some basic features which for some reason they choose to ignore, like better routing options, being able to group return tracks - hell, even just being able to move them wherever we want would be great. I see more and more people totally ignoring return tracks and using audio tracks for that instead, so that's it easier to group/move around, or even have it affected by the All X group.

@RJ1J

Also, the mixer. If I have 50 tracks, Ableton's workflow breaks down during mixing compared to every other major DAW because I either have to use two monitors and constantly look back and forth plus it's two clicks to edit third party plugins and VSTs. That is a lot of time wasted and annoyance. Given how much Ableton Suite costs next to Logic 10.5, I feel the lack of a standard DAW mixer will hurt them. The UI is still super boring to look and third party themes are great compared to stock, so no effort made there either.

exciting stuff. wished they would’ve added true mono channels. it’s a hassle putting a utility plugin at the end of the channel strip. great video

@ELPHNT

3 жыл бұрын

Ableton channels are in fact mono if the material running through them is mono, they just always display 2 meters. Mono, by definition, is just playing the same signal through both channels,. Technically speaking, 'true mono' means only 1 speaker, so that's not something to do with Live. So whether you're working with an actual mono audio file or a 'stereo' audio file that has the same information in both channels, the results are exactly the same and there's no need to put Utility on a channel to make it mono. Unless of course, you have a stereo source that you're wanting to make mono. I agree it'd be useful to visually see whether a track is outputting in mono or stereo, but as it stands now, that's all it is; a visual difference. Functionally, Ableton's Tracks can be both stereo or mono.

@paulbrymer

3 жыл бұрын

@@ELPHNT Ableton has only stereo channels. so when a mono signal is sent to it it becomes dual mono and sends the same mono signal to the left and right speaker. that’s different from mono. the DEFINITION of mono is “one channel”. I always wondered why my vocals never sounded at the center of the mix as they did in protools. dual mono results in a wider sound. the only way to achieve a mono track atm is to put a utility plugin at the end of the channel strip and select left or right channel in the drop down menu. cheers
