Hi all. I haven't recorded in years, and am surprised at some recent posts
about Paris updates - have to read more about that - but I was wondering
what users find as good transition software when moving from Paris?
I'm currently messing around with Ableton Live Lite and finding it kindof
frustrating at first, and have worked some with Acid - actually like how
easily it works with loops. Ableton would seem to be better platform for
looping stuff - I'm a guitarist and like layering parts - but I'm not exactly
getting the ease of use part of things yet. I actually moved the loops I
recorded in Ableton to Acid just to work on the composition which seemed
kindof messy in Ableton.
But for mixing I can't see doing any serious mixing or recording more than
simple takes on these other systems.
I am interested in composing some stuff with midi and virtual instruments
and Tracktion might be worth considering for that given Garriton personal
orchestra. I also have some LE versions of Cubase and SONAR that came with
my EMU1212 soundcard but I haven't tried yet. I used to play around with
Voyetra Pro for pianoscroll and stepwrite writing midi songs and had fun
with that, but gotta think there's a good usable mix of midi and real life
audio out there that's not too complicated. I'd love to be able to mix in
some cool sounding synths like a B3, and also have drum loop grooves integrate
easily.
I haven't been able to listen to many of the midi tunes I wrote years ago
with any quality because I haven't had a decent general midi soundset to
play them back with - it seems like midi has moved past that concept of sound
to things and software I don't understand.
Anyhow, I appreciate any suggestion folks might have for what other softwares
share the same mindspace of design as Paris, but also let me easily integrate
with midi sounds and drum loops.
thanks in advance for feedback, Shane
