anyone use ableton?

Post by htsamurai »

basically i've decided to write, what by definition would be, backing tracks
from what I've heard ableton is amazing for writing beats and glitches and stuf, which is basically what I need

but being so used to garageband this is so weird to me, any tips or advice?
I'm watching the videos and stuff but it's still weird, gives hints pl0x

I used it for ~6 months and found it to be ok. I prefer Garageband by far though. :idk:

isn't garageband based off Ableton? I'm about to get something so I'm interested. I was making beats on FL and then my computer crashed three years ago, and then I got a laptop for Christmas, so I'm trying to figure out what's good. I don't want Fruity Loops no more.

Do you have to use the computer ? There are lot's of cool hardware loopers, recorders, samplers that could probably do the same thing... :idk:

Ableon is awfully cool. It takes a lot of time to figure out though. Basically my advice is keep using it. Practice makes perfect I guess
