Hey guys, first post here!
Funny thing I've been playing around with music for about 4 years (3 learing guitar and 1 on DAW) and never got into a music forum.
So I'll start with something wich has been bugging me a bit. I've been using FL as my main DAW since I started with electronic music. I'm not a great producer but I find playing live real fun, so I want to start small and play for myself, at parties and such.
Problem is that my notebook ain't a great processing monster, and FL isn't helping with live performing, as it only supports patterns and not recorded loops AFAIK).
SO I'm looking for any good software for performing. I need something that can loop my samples, keep em in tempo, manage filters and such through midi controllers, etc.
I've read everywhere that Ableton's Live is great for this, but seems too cluttered and complex for what I'll be using it. I also thought about Presonus Studio 1, and might look into shifting to it.
If not, any of you might know about a work-around FL's Live mode that might work. I'm sporting ASIO4ALL drivers but processing everything on the move still scares me.
Thanks in advances y'all!
PD: I'm thinking about getting a "MIDI Fighter" if I can get live performing working. Any thoghts about it? Thanks again.
