Ableton Live 7

TnyjMuzic	Date: July 20, 2008 @ 2:13 PM I picked up a demo copy of this software and actually using it to mixdown one of my songs. With all the talk of ProTools and Reason, etc i justed to know if anyone has used this software (Live 7) and what you thought of it. http://tnyjms.dmusic.com/
tsand20175	Date: July 20, 2008 @ 2:17 PM I don't use it but it's one of the most popular music software ever created. I had a demo of an earlier version but didn't use it much because I was affraid I'd like it too much and I was just getting comfortable with Logic and Reason.
TnyjMuzic	Date: July 20, 2008 @ 2:40 PM I don't use any software when i record. This was my first time using software for music and i think i like it. Not completely sure if i'll take the next step yet though.

TnyjMuzic	Date: July 20, 2008 @ 2:49 PM There are so many to choose from ProTools being the leader of the pack. This Live 7 might be the one for me should i ever decide to go digital recording.
tsand20175	Date: July 20, 2008 @ 3:41 PM never used ProTools........
leedsquietman	Date: July 21, 2008 @ 12:33 PM I use it as my main software, all of my stuff done in the last 2 years is using it. I used Cubase SX3 before. The Live 7 Suite is killer. The demo is valid for 14 days, and you can also demo the Suite instruments such as Operator, Sampler, Tension, Analog and Electric. I would never use Pro Tools LE/M-Powered, it has too many weaknesses, poor MIDI, no delay compensation and ties you to digidesign (or M-Audio) hardware, neither of which is especially fantastic. Although for editing audio it is very good and obviously the ProTools HD system as used in pro studios which costs several thousand dollars is a different kettle of fish. I love Live. It's session view and on the fly tools make it far more conducive to creativity than the tape machine linear approach of every other DAW. I've been using Live since L6 and the new features in L7 plus the Suite just blew me away. Try it. I have Reason and I stopped using that since Live came into my life.
TnyjMuzic	Date: July 21, 2008 @ 2:14 PM I plan to use the L7 demo copy to mixdown some of my jazz instrumentals. Compression, Effects, etc. I'm actually really enjoying it. This in my introduction to digital recording, mixing.
