I've been using Pro Tools since the last ice age. But I hear good thinks about Ableton.
If I were to make the switch to Ableton, what benefits would I notice? What drawbacks? Would switching be worth it?
Most of my work is composing electronic music using virtual instruments, which I record vocals and the occasional acoustic instrument over with my mics. I mix my own stuff straight in the DAW, and fidelity is important to me.
But ... if fidelity wasn't compromised, quicker composition would just allow me to be more productive.
With few exceptions, most of my plugins are by Native Instruments, Waves, and SoundToys. I'd miss PianoTeq, ToonTrack, and Valhalla if I didn't have them. Probably not the other odds and ends, though.
Should I make the switch?
