Groove Agent sounds good and it makes drum arrangements for this non-drummer very easy.
SONGWRITING ABLETON VS CUBASE FULL
I really miss groove agent, and if I ever moved to Ableton as my main daw, I would buy the full edition of Groove Agent rather than lose access to this instrument. I haven’t bought the full Groove Agent, I only have Groove Agent SE and I guess it’s a built in thing in Cubase because it doesn’t show up as a VST plugin anywhere. I think it’s funny that Ableton LIve is supposed to be for live performance and yet it doesn’t have this? I would come running or crawling back to Cubase just for this. It’s a tiny feature but a very nice on in Cubase. I play hardware synths and I play software vsts and both go dumb and get stuck notes from time to time. What I love about Cubase and miss in Ableton: I think I would also do all my vocal tracking in cubase.
The thing is that since Ableton Lite is free with a Novation Launchpad, which is how I got it, you can always just use Ableton for what it’s great for and then bounce out stems and mix in cubase if you like. Of course this goes great with hardware controllers like the Novation Launchpad, or the Ableton Push.
If I could have ONE thing out of Ableton moved into cubase it would be a combinatoric clip based way of experimenting. The combinatoric approach to songs is wild and great fun. What is kind of unapproachable though in Cubase is the experimentation approach of having one instrument/plugin and then having some set of 5 or 25 clips, which can all be easily combined with any of the 5 or 25 clips in any of your other tracks.
The thing is for my purposes, Cubase works fine because I often prototype songs with loops which are easy to repeat for the length of my song. Some are technical or product differences and some are community differences.įirst and most obvious thing is the clips based workflow in Ableton. I like Cubase (I currently have 10.0 Pro) a lot, and I am not an EDM/trance artist so Ableton is hardly the “defacto” DAW for folks like me (Home songwriters) but having spent a week playing with it, I like a lot of things about it.
