WHY I USE ABLETON?
My DAW of choice
I was recently thinking why I use Ableton over any other DAW. I have used Fruityloops, Garageband, Cubase and Logic. All of which have their pros and cons. I have no major preference about the tools I’m using because fundamentally I’m just trying to capture an idea.
I believe I started using Ableton out of necessity as it was free with a midi controller that I’d bought and I did not have anything at the time. It turns out it’s an extremely useful tool in terms of quickly capturing ideas.
Having used this DAW for a few years now, I have found that I love the session mode in which you can record and launch little looping ideas. These can later be played back in a performative way and recorded to a conventional timeline.
It’s such an intuitive creative way of quickly auditioning parts, arranging sections and structuring a song. It’s changed the way I think about structure and arranging tracks.
I also love performing with ableton. Launching multiple clips and samples to create a backing track for songs or building up layers of loops is easy with a little practise and really creates a vibe.
