Actually, I’m running Ableton Live 10 Intro, because I don’t need the full version yet.

Pro Tools might be what the big studios use, but out of the box it’s designed for recording 32 tracks with mics in a pro studio.Įventually I’ll probably upgrade, but Intro is perfect for my needs right now (and budget.) So is Logic – at $199, it’s the smartest DAW purchase on the Mac. To match Logic or Live, you’d need to spend a ton of cash on instruments and drums and plugins. Intro is a track and instrument limited version of Live. You’re limited to 16 tracks, which can be audio or midi. You’re limited to 8 “scenes,” which won’t make sense to you unless you understand the unique way that Live works. APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM SOFTWAREĪnd it comes with only 4 software instruments. If you want to make loop-based electronic music, Live seems to be the standard for good reason – it’s got the best tools for it. You could DJ with Live, you can do live electronic music concerts, blah blah blah. But if you want to dive deep into EDM, you’ll want the full version of Live, not Intro. However, if you’re me, Live Intro is the steal of the century. I do my own original music, or covers, or both.

I wanted something that could play back stereo backing tracks while also sending MIDI patch changes to my HX Stomp and also send patch changes to my keyboard and ALSO send commands to my DMXIS box, which controls my DMX lights. And I wanted something that could do all of that without choking or killing my CPU. Quite simply, Live (or in my case Live Intro) was the best and only option. Technically I could use the instruments built into it, but I have MainStage 3, and that’s what I use for all of my keyboard patches.

If I ever decide to add band members, I could upgrade to the full version of Live, and instead of stereo backing tracks I’d use multitrack backing tracks. Then we’d all play to a click and I’d mute the tracks for whatever live musicians I have with me. If I had enough musicians, I wouldn’t need the backing tracks at all, but we would still play to a click so that we had programmed lights and guitar and keyboard patch changes. Live was designed for, well, live performance. To record a traditional album on it (meaning not EDM) would be painful. It is good but they haven’t added significant features for years, it’s about time someone took them out of the top spot for live computer based keys.And although this will be controversial, the instruments in it aren’t that good. I’m just happy Mainstage is getting competition. Gig performer is pretty much set in stone at this point. I think VST Live’s GUI will improve in time as well. VST Live is much different from Mainstage (which I still prefer) but not so different that I felt unduly hampered. I think it is great for doing Live Guitar and things like that, but for keys patches that end up with a ton of layers and zones that change often, it was just too cumbersome to build patches quicky. However, the GUI for me was not intuitive. In fact, similar performance to VST Live. The performance is fantastic compared to Mainstage. I own and am really stoked for Gig Performer. I used to run Ableton for our tracks into Mainstage for my keyboard patches. VST Live is more elegant but I’ve done Mainstage for years, let me know if you want to set up something like that and I can help. You can loop back or use Bome to run tracks from the same computer and trigger too. Send the message from your Ableton, Playback, Cubase, etc… and you can trigger sounds whenever you need. For mainstage, you attach a program change message for each patch you want to launch at a specific section then hook a midi cable up from your tracks rig.
