Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Just upgraded to Logic 10.5. Pretty nice upgrade if there are any Logic users here.

clearly they’re trying to catch up with some of Ableton’s electronic stuff. Clip launching, different built in sequencers and midi effects, two WAY better samplers. They still have a way to go but it’s a pretty great upgrade
Except the fact that it only runs on Mac. But yes it seems like quite the upgrade from the previous version.

I’m still on the fence on making the jump to Live 10....doesn’t seem like a big change for the $$.

what do you use now? I’ve used Logic for at least 10 years now, but the upgrade is pretty major, for me at least. The amount of plugins that are included are stellar as well. At $200, I don’t think any DAW touches it in that respect.

abelton live, which i’ve been using since 2009 or so.

my main concern in switching would be how malleable waveforms are because i like to go in and glitch them in detail “by hand.”
 
Im a big fan of the workflow on Ableton for creating, probably from all my use of it for live performances.

I’ve started my mix/master efforts in Logic and I like it better for that workflow. It seems to better manage CPU and plugins in certain circumstances. Ableton starts showing artifacts where Logic keeps going clean. Possibly how the utilize multiple cores on the chips.

When given a choice, always pick both :)

WAYYY too lazy to learn another DAW, and huge lack of time.
But I’ve used Logic a lot and it is very cool.

Anyways, i,m still on the lookout for a multi FX app to use my synths with....BIAS looks promising....??

I think the Logic upgrade is fantastic if you’re already a Logic owner/user. If you own and like Ableton, I don’t see any reason to switch. Like ugly, I just don’t want to learn a new DAW and do most of my electronic stuff in hardware anyway, so I’m really happy that Logic added so many new features and it didn’t cost anything to upgrade.

I used Ableton a lot, until I got a hardware sampler. I'd still be using it quite a bit, if I weren't so intent on going DAWless for performance.

i just downloaded the logic upgrade, ableton should sue them, lol
i was reading that logic is twice as efficient now
i need to work out buses and mixing in logic better, and also key commands
ableton is more fun and easier to throw down ideas, logic is good for actually making 'songs'
for ambient music i give the flexibility and non linear aspect of ableton the edge, for me
 
Performance.....jeez.....in 2222 maybe?

:(

Yeah. As a hobby player, I’m definitely not gigging any time in the foreseeable future. I had a chance to sell my PA locally just before this all started going down, but I passed on it. Hindsight 20/20.

I’m still searching for motivation and direction. I keep noodling around with ideas and instruments and effects. Hoping some direction will start to look like the one I want to go in.
