Pitch tuning capabilities right out of the box.? Wow!. The sheer quality of cubase, the number of instruments you get, the plugins all made me forget and move on. Although i missed the workflow of ableton. I am a pianist, and i had two amazing pianos right there (plus many others too). But then after i tried it recently, i simply loved it. I was at first hesitant because i have always found cubase’s very complex as an 18 year old who tried making songs long back (although now i say something totally different, i love it and its simple). I started to try cubase after a friend of mine suggested it. Ability to create amazing and unique instruments.ġ. It should also be said that ableton is cheaper than cubase but then there is a reason why cubase is costly.ģ. This is probably one of the most powerful attribute of ableton according to me. You can create amazing new instruments, unique ones. But on the other hand it can produce some amazing techno tracks because of the power you get with its operator, tension, electric etc. Especially when it comes to bass, i still haven’t found one good bass preset for a rock song.

What ableton lacked for me was some good pop and rock instruments that i found pretty easily with cubase.


I was really sure that this was something wrong from my part and i did all i could and changed all settings needed for high quality, but still couldn’t get the satisfaction. What I had trouble with was the quality of the music i made was always a little lower than what my friends produced with cubase and protools. Besides that its said to be great for live performances, which i have not experienced but i can imagine how good it can be. Anything you want to do is pretty straight forward and simple. It was really simple to get my ideas from my head into the DAW within seconds. You make these little clips of ideas and mash em all together.
