Live Suite Dilemma

[James R. Coplin]

I don't use Live much as it just doesn't work well with all the io I have.
Their bus organization demands are completely asinine and unworkable in my
opinion.  Also, I kind of compose in a fairly linear manner and I have a
hard time getting a track to completion in Live.  However, I do like the
immediacy of Live and so I tend to sketch with it, get an idea going, and
then transfer over to Cubase to actually do the track.  Since I know I'm
going to end up in Cubase, I avoid any Live internals that I don't have in
Cubase.  I basically rebuild the project from scratch, reimporting raw the
loops whose timing I set in Live.  The project always sounds better in
Cubase.  More clarity, punch and openness.  This is right from the import,
before I go about eqing, compressing, etc.

That is a very interesting observation indeed!

Can you tell us more about that. Is it due to the effects you use 
in AL? Or is it just clean audio tracks? What happens when you 
freeze the tracks in Ableton?

Any audio examples?

Cheers,

Gert
