Using Ableton for Making Music - TaurusBeats answers a subscriber question about the subject.

Question from a subscriber:
How do feel about Ableton? Do you think it's a good software?
Because of my DJ background, I like Ableton for making music in a live setting (like parties or on stage). But my music making workflow is too different.
Ableton has some great features that I really like. I think it is a great DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for making music in live settings and I have it as a tool in my music making toolbox. However, I never really use it for making beats or moody instrumental music. I like some of the features Ableton has, but overall, it is too different from THE WAY (workflow) I'm making music now.
I've been using Reason since 2000. The way I make music (my workflow) is heavily tied to the Reason look and feel (how everything is laid out in the DAW). This doesn't say anything about Ableton at all.
What I am pointing out is that workflow (the way) you make music using any DAW is highly important.Your DAW should help you make great music FAST. That is why I suggest you pick one DAW / music making software and learn it well - master it if you can. No matter what that software is, your goal as a MUSIC PRODUCER / MUSIC MAKER is to make good/great music as fast as you can.
Thanks for asking! Hope that helps.
Grace and Peace!
