    I once wrote a track from a singe drum loop just using extreme warping. That's really cool Ableton's feature and warping was one of the key features even in version 1

    The best DAW is the one you're using.
    And I say this as a Uni lecturer who uses and teaches pretty much all DAW's.
    The one I use most myself though, Bitwig. And that will do everything you pointed out in this video.

    I figured out how to automate this transient thing in beats mode you should map it to some physical knob on midi keyboard and move it by hand but you have to have mouse clicked on the desired track in arrangment view. Thats what I saw. Btw I love your videos and how you talk about advanced concepts in such easy way.

    @zombiestepler 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    For me, the MOST important feature is actually the ability to render each clip and normalize it (consolidate), and ableton will add to the clip name date time and random numbers, to make it unique. So then you can just drag and drop a clip to the browser and that's it! This is super useful for sound design sessions and saving chopped clips with the same name. That is a main reason I don't switch to bitwig although, bitwig is better than ableton in any feature.

    @nectariosm 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love Ableton Live and really enjoy the Live 12 update, but besides being the worst DAW in terms of CPU handling (off topic), they need to start looking at what is available with the competition. Reaper (yeah I know) has some brilliant warp features (including a Paul Stretch mode...that you can't automate though....yet), no limitations to stretching (no need to stretch x4, Cmd+J....repeat) and SWS extensions (think of it as its own Max4Live but with function that "bake in the process) that set it on a whole different level in terms of audio mangling...which might be the reason so many video game sound designers use it.
    Anyway, love Ableton Live and this channel is a great and fun resource for it. Subbed.

      Wait what, Paul stretch is available in Reaper? 🫨 can’t count how many times I needed to launch the standalone app to stretch some things that simply can’t be warped that extremely in Live (don’t know if it’s just me but consolidating and stretching gives totally different effects)
