      Lol, and also dragging triggered samples into the audio channels as if it did something was equally a dimension shift. However, I do remember doing all the same shit and not understanding the two modes. I can be a slow learner for a smart guy because I over analyze every "why". Good times back then, but glad they're over 🤣🤣

    @tristanseanpaulcinco7018 4 роки тому +9

    I was a rabid FL studio user. It was real easy to get into and I learned a lot about producing. Then I decided to get myself a MIDI controller which came with Ableton. I tried Ableton with the controller and it was hell. I stuck with FL for a few more weeks then went back to Ableton just to try it again after getting my first audio interface. I hooked up my guitar, persevered, played a little with looping and audio effects and MIDI mapping and now I'm addicted. The reason why it's called "Ableton LIVE" is because it's for live performance. I think arranging songs is much better with FL. But when it comes to just going crazy fun performing with MIDI controllers (I have lots now) and live instruments, Ableton is king.

    though a lot of people like working with drums in audio clips, i find it's easier to assemble drums in the Ableton Drumrack, and then just making MIDI sequences. btw, i think you figured this out by now, but Ableton separates MIDI tracks from Audio tracks, so you have to be mindful of where you drag clips.
    Ableton should automatically Warp samples to the BPM, but if you have the auto-warp off, then just go into the sample and turn it on and adjust the markers inside of the clip if it still doesn't seem right to you. you can sidechain either by copy pasting volume automation lines, or setup a ghost note to trigger a compressor that's set to Sidechain mode.
    anyways, i love your stuff, hope you figure out Ableton more during your trial.

      Once you learn the basics with ableton though, realising your ideas can be so quick. Get your main sounds down in a few hours, then you can arrange and automate in a few more it's mad. Does fl have record quantization and midi overdub?

    @VeryTori 3 роки тому +1

    I was fortunate enough that my college offered an 8 week class on music technology and it in both ableton and pro tools (more so ableton). The first lesson in the program was on making a drum track, I figured the concept for the rest of the instruments must be similar and picked up how ableton works pretty quickly. That said, I have a launchpad I can use with the software, which definitely helps in learning how the live view works. I actually prefer working in live over the arrangement view, and only really use arrangement view when I’m ready to record all the pieces. I’m sure there’s a better way to record it, but overall, as someone new to composing and producing music, it was really easy to figure out with my professor guiding the class in the tutorial process. I was so used to ableton that I prefer it over pro tools. That and pro tools doesn’t play nice with my pc lol. It took a lot of set up to get it to work initially. Haven’t used FL yet. I might, but really, I’m happy with ableton and haven’t run into many issues or anywhere close to enough to switch.

      Funny enough for me, over three years before it became my main DAW in September of last year, I downloaded Ableton onto my laptop when I was still a huge FL Studio user. This was in late 2018.
      Didn't touch Ableton at all, as it has quite the learning curve to it, and it was the 3 month demo. To be fair, I was using the FL Studio demo, but FL's demo does not have a time limit, albeit without the ability to save your projects. Also I didn't have any money at the time due to my age.
      When I got more money, I felt it was time for a DAW change, but not Ableton yet. I ended up switching to Logic from FL Studio in January 2022, after a four year run of FL from December 2017 to that point.
