touche' sir... XD

True, PT is the flagship audio editor, but I've recently come to appreciate Abletons UI and ease of processing, but it's not that great for film work.

Sampler and Simpler are two of my favorite parts of Live, so much editing capability without altering files.

That's why I originally got it, to expand my musical capabilities.

QFT, I'm the same way!

Same, I originally got it so that I could expand my musical capabilities into the digital realm easier (I'm a drummer), but after working with PT for a few years, I've moved towards Ableton for 80% of my work.

Could you link me to your tutorials? I'm always looking to learn the program more thoroughly. I don't do much (if any) film work, so Ableton has been nothing short of perfect for my needs.

Agreed, I use it to make one-shots and loops for games, and in my experience, I prefer Ableton for that reason. But I agree, nothing matches PT with film post work.

Yeah, even though it has video capabilities (for free), it isn't really meant to do audio for film. Seeing that I'm not in that field, that doesn't bother me much, I'll still do work in PT if needed, but for one shot sounds and loops, I'll take Live over PT any day.

I agree, Ableton just makes everything a little easier and quicker to do imo. I do also appreciate the easy of loading MIDI instruments and quickly writing music and building synths. Also, the pre-loaded audio effects and instruments aren't bad, and definitely out perform anything PT comes stock with. I don't do much film stuff, and if I do, it would be in PT.
