CBG Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Live 7 by a country mile. Awesome for chopping up tracks and inserting vocals. Can't go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 p.s I use Reason 4, but thats good for straight out composing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 thanks man, i want to get into making originals, but i think i should learn how to manipulate and remix tracks before i go too deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevChelios Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yep ableton all the way, but mae sure you like a program before you go through and learn everything about it cause if you end up hating it changing programs is really hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevChelios Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 And I wouldnt recomend reason either cause that will confuse the shit out of anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 not if you learn how to use it, the same can be said about Ableton dude. In fact the same can be said about almost any program. Both Ableton and Reason have their pro's and cons. Both high quality though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevChelios Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 if anyone opened reason and pressed tab they would probably cry , sure every program is kind of confusing but reason is by far and away the most in my experience. Reasonis definately a great program for some things but the sequencing is horribly hard to use and thats why I wouldnt recommend it for someone begginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 well yeah, no way would i recommend it for beginners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggssell Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 hey as anyone seen that ableton live intro.other then the number of tracks, and a few other things, seems to do the same as Live 8 but for $500 cheaper.reckon its worth it for beginners?

Cupe Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 there's some demo downloads in the ADJF downloads section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The more expensive one would have a bigger library of .vst of samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 oh okay.what if i was just chopping up a track, and wanted to screw up and resequnce them. maybe add some more drums and bass.then this cut down version should do huh?ill prob test out all the avail software that offer trials, but i think ableton on paper look good so figured i could mess with this cheapo version for a while. i know the cheapo plus upgrade in future ends up more expensive then just getting the whole hog up front, but one. i may never upgrade (as at now not looking t produce own tracks); and two. just outright cant afford it (prob cant afford live intro for another 6 months anywho... ha ha).for now it will be doing it old school, using the two copies of the same song running on vinyl, faders, and traktor effects to chop and remix!EDIT: when i say cheapo i mean cheaper than the full version, not cheap cuz 2 hunge is still plenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
