Hi all

Well I guess it all a case of horses for courses.
Personally my most used DAW is Sona, but then I have been using cakewalk since way back version 3.? .

I also have a copy of the now unavailable Yamaha XG works this is still useful for working on my Yamaha keyboard files that still use X G voices and commands till this day. This is the only program I have that can work with Yamaha Styles on the PC and allows you to put in a chord progression and chose style parts
Intro ,variation ending etc.

With BIAB and Realband working seamlessly together I am quite well set up .
Especially when you ad in NI Kontakt 5 and lots of libraries

My other major learning curve was Ableton 8 live (lite) this is a completely different beast and came with my Novation Impulse 61 keyboard .
This DAW is aimed at live DJ type work and allows you to launch clips on the fly from the drum pads on the keyboard while the project is running, amongst a whole host of other looping and sampling features .
Not for the faint hearted this one.



Having fun, (must be the Mushrooms.)
Mike
