MusicPlayerNetwork.com Forums Recording The George Massenburg Professional Recording Forum Mixing with Ableton Live

Hello there,
I didn’t really know where to put that topic !

I have the oppurtinity to have free lessons on “anything I want” in France. For me that’s about Ableton Live and Mixing.

I heard Live wasn’t ideal for mixing, is that true ?

The fact is that I paid for it, and I want to learn it as much as possible for live use.
If I pay for example Logic (that’s the less expensive), I will have to take the Logic course, whereas I’m more interested in Live.

Do you think you can do really good mix sessions with Live ? In what regards should I try another DAW…I’ve heard people that use Live to mix and it seems ok !

Thanks in advance for your help

Cheers from Paris

Ableton is fine for mixing. Mixing is mostly about learning to listen... Any DAW has more than enough tools to manipulate audio. Use what you like - it will take a while to master, so you might as well learn what you want to end up knowing.

Thank you !
