For me? In many ways. I can mention one - the one that made
Dada Life (EDM) change DAW to
Abelton Live:
The ability to program macros much easier. Macros that can be used to control a full build-up through all your
tracks towards a drop with just a couple of X/Y pads or other
controllers.
That is one. There are many more.
Dada Life fan myself man, But i dont understand your response, Are you saying they Changed from Fl
studio to Ableton Live for the Macros ?,,Now to answer the question. I use
fl studio and Own
Ableton Live 8. Alot of people are right, when you learn to Use FL properly it is Just as good as any other DAW, you will need vst's and samples(As do most Daws ). When you have your Neat
collection and know how to use them you'll Produce the sound you want. Look at Avicii, Afrojack these guys use Fl like crazy.
Ableton is Awesome and the initial quality you get from a dry instrument (without Mixing and mastering) is better than Fl ! Which is why people think its better but truth be told you can get the same quality in fl with tweaking which is great cause you don't become lazy and actually learn how too make it sound right. I also hate the Piano Roll in ableton it's like Working on a piece of paper.
With enough time you can make any DAW sound awesome, I mean Calvin Harris Uses
Logic !?,,Again
Logic!?
P.s Skrillex uses Ableton as he uses alot of samples in his work, makes sense
