THIS Still Makes Ableton Better Than Any DAW

- It's not always about "crazy" AI features or fancy looks... Even if you use Ableton Live daily, it's easy to forget about this fundamental feature that still makes it better than other DAWs 🏆
⚠️ Disclaimer - as mentioned, I used different DAWs to finally settle in Live. Treat my Ableton superiority with a grain of salt. If you can't, and can't get the jokes here... this video is NOT for you.

The best DAW is the one you're using.
And I say this as a Uni lecturer who uses and teaches pretty much all DAW's.
The one I use most myself though, Bitwig. And that will do everything you pointed out in this video.
Bitwig is so much harder to learn than ableton though.... why don't you mention that??
@@overtonesnteatime198 It's not really. The basics are no more difficult than Ableton, if you want to deep dive than the grid is an easier learning curve than Max for live.
@@overtonesnteatime198 It's no more difficult to learn than Ableton and Max for live.
@@overtonesnteatime198 When you take max for live into account it's the same learning curve really.
how can i simply work with audio tracks in bitwig without timestretching?
I switched from FL Studio to Ableton Live because there were better tutorials available for Ableton. By the way, great video! Keep on rocking!
Damn, that’s the first time I heard that there are better tutorials for Live 😂 thanks a lot man 🙏🙏
I dont know where you looking i use both but there are way more fl tutorials
@@thepoldergoon Yeah but the majority of them are terrible, doesn't really matter because if you're well versed in the daw of your choice a tutorial can be made for whatever daw and you'll be able to translate it into your own workflow.
The opposite happened to me, I switched from Ableton to FL Studio, and I'm still looking for a reason to continue using Ableton, since my work team uses it. I just don't like Ableton. In FL Studio making music is fun and enjoyable, while in Ableton it feels more like a job than a passion for music.
Interesting thought. While it all comes down to many factors (including personal preference) I think that Live still looks like a spreadsheet so maybe that makes you feel like a job 😂
@@Zdrewe Exactly, it couldn’t have been said better😂
The best DAW is the one you use and feel the most comfortable with. All good man! I use Live and Bitwig and actually am really loving diving a bit deeper into Bitwig and all the modulation. I still go back to Live and often find myself building, with my spreadsheet app (my brain loves it) and further developing in Bitwig, as I can bring my Live project right into it. Yes, I am a complicated person - I use 2 spreadsheet programs. haha.
Nice vid and you own the glitch transition. Aside from the top tier Live tips, I really appreciate the video editing that goes into these vids. Bravo!! I'm a 10+ year Studio One fanboy that just made the move to Live and I'm loving it. I've had more fun and creative time in the last few weeks than I had for years with Studio One. Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks a lot man! 🙏 I have good memories with studio one since I tried it for a couple of months in exchange for cubase while doing recording sessions. I believe that was just after they announced it but once I checked how s1 looks and feels now, it evolved into a real pro tools competitor 💪
Love it! In cool and easy to understand ways you reminding us (or at least me ) that we've already have the cool tool called Ableton before spend more dollars for plugins
Glad you enjoy the video!! Honestly it kinda evolved naturally for me to make videos about stock solutions 😅 some plugins are cool tho and I’ll definitely highlight some in a future
I once wrote a track from a singe drum loop just using extreme warping. That's really cool Ableton's feature and warping was one of the key features even in version 1
For me, the MOST important feature is actually the ability to render each clip and normalize it (consolidate), and ableton will add to the clip name date time and random numbers, to make it unique. So then you can just drag and drop a clip to the browser and that's it! This is super useful for sound design sessions and saving chopped clips with the same name. That is a main reason I don't switch to bitwig although, bitwig is better than ableton in any feature.
ableton 12 is now able to automate the decay of the beat mode
keep with the good work. I
trully love your videos bro
Means a world my man 🙏 thanks for watching!!
I figured out how to automate this transient thing in beats mode you should map it to some physical knob on midi keyboard and move it by hand but you have to have mouse clicked on the desired track in arrangment view. Thats what I saw. Btw I love your videos and how you talk about advanced concepts in such easy way.
Thanks for the tip man! That makes sense since majority of Live functions can be MIDI mapped. Glad you enjoy my videos 🙏🙏
love your stuff bro. ty
Most welcome 🙏
Great video. Thanks
Wait until he finds bitwig…..
Agreed. Love Bitwig but their stretch algoritms are trash tbh.
i found it ....and for my sample based workflow it's not working....was totally mindblown because cpu performance was so much better as ableton ...but bitwig wasn't able to do simple shit
@@snubdawg1386 it can, you just don't know how yet probably, have you ever tried Slice in Place?
@@snubdawg1386 weird, because in general it's literally modulation and audio editing capabilities that makes bitwig better.
@@jussivalter i really hope bitwig already changed it ....first i thought i'm just to stupid to check it but after a google search that shit was confirmed and i was like wtf
for me its the fact it has session view also... for jamming its the best. most others dont compare
Agreed, session view is underrated
Can you make a video showing how to remove hisses/distortion/static from a track/song with Ableton stock plugins?
I’m new to this stuff. I’m confused. I thought you can change this in Logic Pro too.
U can it's pretty standard stuff and u can do it in any daw I'm sure
Slicex does all this with envelope automation and has done forever 😴 🥭💯
Howabout a DL link to that kick and snare? Was pretty slick.
Can’t remember the exact names but those come from Noisia packs from Splice. I just mixed them into this track with some eq and glue compressed everything together. At some point I have plans to include dl links to some of my projects tho 😉
@@Zdrewe Oh yeah Noisia has some good stuff. My personal favorite is DJ Sawka.
I love Ableton Live and really enjoy the Live 12 update, but besides being the worst DAW in terms of CPU handling (off topic), they need to start looking at what is available with the competition. Reaper (yeah I know) has some brilliant warp features (including a Paul Stretch mode...that you can't automate though....yet), no limitations to stretching (no need to stretch x4, Cmd+J....repeat) and SWS extensions (think of it as its own Max4Live but with function that "bake in the process) that set it on a whole different level in terms of audio mangling...which might be the reason so many video game sound designers use it.
Anyway, love Ableton Live and this channel is a great and fun resource for it. Subbed.
Wait what, Paul stretch is available in Reaper? 🫨 can’t count how many times I needed to launch the standalone app to stretch some things that simply can’t be warped that extremely in Live (don’t know if it’s just me but consolidating and stretching gives totally different effects)
@@Zdrewe Paulstretch is a VST too.
can you freeze groups in live 12?
@@Zdrewe Ya - I use the Paul Stretch vst in Live, all the time.
Never liked the sound of the warp algorithms of Live, especially when changing BPM, something seems lost, excessively.
Made the switch to FL and haven’t missed a thing plus free updates and they update often
Yeah i need to learn Ableton to,
pretty dope!!!!
You forgot about Cubase
Ableton 👌
Ableton is a far more creative DAW. Especially useful for IDM, and other experimental genres as well as standard pop culture genres
😴
@@tohellandbacknoface4091 poly rhythms, exponential rhythms you cannot make with ease in other DAWs (especially FL) …let’s see if Arca or Holly Herdon can make the same music on FL . I use all 3 for different
It's better without saying bro 😁
laughs in bitwig
Still better than cries in FL Studio 😂 and yes, I admit - totally forgot to take Bitwig into account
@@Zdrewe Yes, I am an old FL user, I'm more glad than ever that I switched!!
Honestly, learn to use 2 or 3 different DAWs. FL can do things Ableton can't, and in ways Ableton can't. And vice versa. Same with Bitwig. Same with *insert DAW here*. You'll be a more flexible producer/musician/creator who appreciates how different people do things :)
For the record though, cool video. I was less replying to the video and more to the DAW-measuring-contest that pervades a lot of comments.
I totally agree with your statement. I need to hold my jokes and sarcasm a bit when it comes to DAWs since it triggers too many to start unnecessary arguments about software
i was traumatised for 2 months because fl was my first daw. what a terrible time waste
FL MASTER RACE
This laptop I had FL on was clearly not a master race one. Maybe that’s why I switched
Comee to the live side.
Fl keeps crashing even on my 16 core workstation at home. I have much better performance on live. No chrash so far
@@zecarlos1151 speaking of crashes… HF GL since those in Live can be pretty damn annoying 😂
Great stuff. I use Live and Bitwig and keep finding gems in both 12, as well as Bitwig 5.2. If I am going deep... I will do a lot of the work in Live and then pull the entire project into Bitwig for more tweaks and so much modulation, that your head will spin. I've been a Live user since I believe, 8? Something like that. At this point, I still love Live and I also am really getting into Bitwig.
Judging by yours and others comments I feel stupid rn. I always thought that Ableton is nerdy but it seems like Bitwig is the way to go 😅
@@Zdrewe For me, its been a nice add on. I have not jumped ship, only learned another tool. Unlike Polarity and DasGlitch, I haven't left Live. I seem to always go to Live, when I really need to do something specific and fast. I go to Bitwig to either add more polish to a Live project or to really burn time and do something different. I am no expert in Bitwig yet, but learning. Its definitely a deeper rabbit hole.
Once given the warp modes as tools... I cant make music without them! Ive considered going to bitwig, but ableton 12 is too good.
Considering the amount of Bitwig mentions at some point I’ll need to at least try it out. But you’re right, there’s nothing like warp modes 😎
@@Zdrewe hopefully bitwig changed this but when i tried it out it wasn't possible to load a sample on an audio track without warping....wtf
Lmao Noted everything that you're showing off in this video. every high end dog can do already. You just don't know how to do it. in it
why u so cree py
I used Live for about 4 years before discovering FL. And you know what I will say, FL is much better for me. It is more convenient, more logical, and the built-in FL plugins are many times better than in any other DAW
Lol
Ableton is better then FL. but that's it. Any other DAW is much better than this grey shit.
Hahahahah I think it wasn’t the purpose of your comment but it’s the first time I hear someone call Live grey shit 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Zdrewe I’m happy you’re had fun)
Grey shit... I need to introduce you to themes. Haha. Grey shit is great though!
@ VentureNW it's shit not because it's grey, but because it's primarily shit)
