Hi there

I really like good bones; great track. I liked Aerogravy even more; less action but the vibe is really nice.

How do you usse abelton and FL together? Do you use abelton for instruments or do a first pass with one or the other?

Thank you!

I don’t really use them together, friend of mine is more a fan of FL so when we collaborate we use FL whereas I learned initially on Ableton and like it’s workflow a bit more.

Yeah thre are core concepts with the software used to make music and once you learn those core concpts learning another program is mostly about the flow; they can essentially all have the same features at this point with VSTs

I kinda wish there was a universal filetype so if you wanted to work with him from abelton it would export as like a ,song that could be loaded by fruity loops. Because I have the same problem, I use garage band because it came on this computer and i was really lazy about it. i would pirate logic but that takes more effort than i care for the extra features. right now i dont even have a midi controller so I am painting notes, But maybe using the different strategies helps develop something

Right exactly.

That would be really neat, just don’t see how possible it would be because of different feature sets between the different DAWs, for instance Ableton has grouping/embedding on mixer tracks while FL does not, and FL in general handles routing a bit differently then Ableton.

You can bounce to sound file, but that puts obvious limits on what you can do with the sound, or midis and if you’re not using any extra vsts for manipulating the sound it works if you have the same instrument/vsts available.

Splice.com had a really nifty “studio” feature that would essentially let you sync files and save various “versions” of songs you’re working on together. Sadly they got new leadership seemingly and axed it altogether within the last year, probably because it wasn’t a money maker like samples are :/

I played around with Garage Band a fair bit back in school and its pretty well fleshed out for what it is.

Yeah but you can’t also discount the amount of time invested people spend into learning a specific technique or software; people expect to get the most out of that time investment because for the most part it is difficult for people (aka they are not nerds for software like me); I might have time to package a KVM/QEMU with MacOS to create a macOS version of wine which wouldn’t be the best solution but itd be free which would b helpful to people. Will depend on how well M1/M2 software ports to other ARM64 but I doubt its too difficerent. OR probably just enough different
