same midi, similar sound design

did ableton faster

audiotool first, then ableton

  • Ngl I didn't even notice it switched until I listened again

  • It would be interesting to see or read your ableton setup too. Other wise this is only a hypothesis without proof

    • Fair point. I want to assume everything is the same but if it is, at the end of that day, the difference in quality could simply come down to something as simple as bitrate. The rest is just in how convenient either of them are to use and their versatility in the tasks they're being used for which can be somewhat subjective. They're All just tools in a box imo 😊

    • You don’t have to prove it to me. It’s just only fair to include if you’re trying to tell us something with this.

    • I can link the .als file for the project if need be

  • just by the sound I think audiotool sounds better

    has more potential

  • I don't care if it's faster it's more fun/rewarding to build and craft a sound than just have it handed to you. It's the entire point as to why i like music and why still stick here

    • that's what it's like for me

      everything is slow

    • as i've gotten older it comes in waves and creating music is very weird.

      It's honestly weird how long it's been since i started. I used to make several tracks a day nonstop for years then i just grew up and starting to perfect my stuff more and just fall apart. It's just interesting to look back at what i used to do compared to what i do now. It takes me months to finish something now from the ground up and even then i have to get a good idea to even start.

    • for me, slow production times are the death of my creativity

      both platforms have their strengths, and audiotool's is workflow

      if we had like one more synth i would use this instead

  • ableton just sounds so much more full and complete than AT

    • There are work arounds alot of the time

      Constantly evolution on how to get things to work.

      For me mastering/mixing something on AT is something i do as i go and streamline it. It tends to be extremely easy for me and just a "flick of the wrist" then again i can never be sure if i'm good or not. doesn't help that i have been doing it for 8 years now

    • Well you CAN

      but that's a pain in the ass automating things still lmao

    • cant get exponential rhythms without spending an entire day setting up an effect chain and automating it :p

  • Audiotool actually sounds better to me, which is surprising since I think Ableton is a better D.A.W.

  • I like the audiotool one

  • no bias but audiotool wins

  • yeah sounds about right

  • they sound like layers of a song from asphalt 8

    • a lot of the basses i make now are based off of recreating basses from tutorials for serum/vital into AT, ofc its limiting and i dont judge you for abandoning it one bit, but theres still a shit ton of possibility here

    • for example, if you set unison to 4, and the detune on 10cents, you can detune it again on master tuning, so heisen 1 has -20cent, heisen 2 has -10, then 10 and 20 to create 16 or more voices like serum.

    • ableton is just better when you get accustomed to the work flow tbh
