How Do U Actually Use A Mouse (No MIDI Controller) to make a beat on Albeton... Would It Suite Hiphop? Does Any1 Got An Example? Are There Any Other Soft Studios Out There Other Than Reason and Fruity???

Everyone has workflow of thier own, and thats why every sequencer has a differant approach.

Blaqphamas said:Exactly my point, I bet every1 has tried... Where the beatmaking at?
Darko said:For all the people who don't understand Live, why don't you post some specific questions about it on FP? There's a million threads about FL and I just pass 'em by because I only use it once in a blue moon, but me and more than a couple other people could help y'all get up to speed in live. There's video tutorials on live's website and youtube. There's no reason why it should be such a mystery.
metastatik said:It’s suitable for any electronic music production. Can it sample? Of course it can and it has some very cool tricks…like being able to record a sample, chop it up and drop the chops right into one of the samplers (this is actually covered in one of the first tutorials). It also has Warp which makes it real easy to time correct samples.
The problem most people have is that it’s unlike anything they’re used to…but to do what it does…it has to be different.
And you can just use a mouse with it, although that’s not a very great way of working. Just insert blank MIDI clips and you can use the piano roll to draw in your notes.

It should be a slogan on future FL ads: "The sequencer even your girl can handle" or something similar.Blaqphamas said:Her kicking Ur MPC ass on fruity IS proving nothing SON, duz it make her a better producer?
Jus means Fruity IS More User Friendly!.. And Fruity Beats turn out better than Live Beats...

Post up a LIVE beat, infact we should actually have a thread... allowing peeps to post comparisons!
Do yourself a favor and give it a whirl! I'm not sayin' it's the best, but it works for me. I make beats and I'm a DJ so I use Torq and Ableton 6.xtrordinare said:when i bought my axiom there was a bundled version of abelton live 6 or something, still havent popped in that disc
phatpat said:I've used both - btw fully functional demos are available on their respective websites. Heres my opinion:
Interface: Ableton Live has a cleaner look and is more intuitive to use.
Virtual Instruments: Fruity Loops has more instruments, but Ableton comes with gigs of professional sampled sounds eg. real acoustic piano, jazz guitar, violins etc.
Sampling: In Ableton you can chop up a sample and add the individual slices to Impulse - the built in drum machine - and then trigger the parts using a midi controller, very similar to Fruity Loops.
Effects: You get your usual EQs, compressors, and reverbs in both programs - however in Live the way you set up the effects is much more fun, using a rack like system.
Workflow: This is where Ableton Live blows away the competition and what its famous for. It quite a unique setup where samples, loops, midi data are triggered from a set of stacked vertical cells, and this then recorded (real time if you want) onto the traditional horizontal sequencing grid.

Guenon said:Hmmh. Ableton Live, a FL Studio ripoff. That's the first time I've heard that one
