I’m looking at just starting figuring out how to do production and all that. A lot of my friends use Ableton but it looks like folk here are down on it from what I see? Is this not the best software to go for?
Cool. I might take the plunge. I used Cubase back in the early 2000s and have a little experience with logic (just basics) so I’m almost a complete novice. Is it pretty easy to use?
I just installed the upgrade to 10 a bit ago. Excited to check this out. Ableton has the upgrade on sale for 25% off until tomorrow the 28th and I decided to go for it rather than wait until November. It was going to happen sooner or later anyways and I saved 75 bucks.
its really great imo, takes some slight getting used to, selecting things and dragging on the timeline is now a bit more annoying imo but also you have more control over copying just automation etc
new fx are really great and fun, been using the echo thing on a lot of stuff lately
unfortunately it loads much slower than 9.x for me, not a big deal but a bit annoying.
Also, I had issues with my mouse and the controls jumping wildly when I used 9. I’m getting a warning saying that AbsoluteMouseMode is not recognized. I need to find that config file to disable that. Preliminary test is showing no issues with my trackball controlling the knobs and faders.
you can also hold alt on your keyboard when adjusting anything in ableton to enter a fine tune mode, you prob already know, but can very helpful when dealing with some fiddly shit
It was pretty bad before. I had to edit the Options.txt file and add the AbsoluteMouseMode to the config and that fixed it. Preliminary research is showing that it has been replaced by Pen Tablet Mode in preferences but I’m not sure if I need to set that yet. The faders and knobs seem to be working fine with my mouse.
