FYI You already can make it dynamic by adding envelope follower, Also I've not needed to use a linear phase EQ in 15 years of professional production. Unless you are recording real drum kits trust me you're not missing out. The free ones are plenty good enough anyway if you really do need one. But stay away if you're making dance music.
@@Bthelick I'm aware, but it's not practical. I need a decent solution not a makeshift one (I already have kirchoff for dynamic eq, but I only bought it cause ableton doesn't include a decent solution for that). also, for my workflow, linear phase is a must, and I think we can agree that having the option for linear phase included in the (very) expensive software you bought is better than not having it, right?
I agree. Making the existing assets better is a much better idea than adding a new device most people already have has a 3rd party plugin. This is something the FL Studio team should REALLY focus on instead of adding new devices all the time. They should just modernize all the stock devices they haven’t updated since 2012 and before
Set as default pad and you no longer have to drag it into your drum rack. Changed it up pretty quickly in Beta and am liking it better over simpler. I am also loving the keyboard workflows for automation - big improvement. Chops is pretty handy for creating rolls - think snares and hihats. One of the bigger ones - auto tagging of all of your samples
@@ccakaccakaccakacc Idk the new Round Robin feature in sampler is the best update in 12 to me. I can record 7 strums per note on a guitar 2-3 notes per octave and damn it sounds good. Throw some drums in sampler instant randomness. Hell resample an Ableton instrument, throw into sampler and get all sorts of randomness. Edit: I do wish it included auto detect sample pitches and their start points.
ive been wishing they would optimize the .als filestructure and abletons underlying signal flow engine for awhile now, working on large projects is sluggish as hell. but this is a nice update regardless.
@@user-ev9kh7mt7q bro other daws are legit kicking ableton's ass when it comes to rewrites and optimizations, its become a pretty big problem. fl studio, bitwig, and reason come to mind as of recently. maintaining and updating the legacy components of professional software is very important. working on an ableton project with more than 100 tracks feels like working with a 15 year old program, not even mentioning all the regular ui hangups like when its building those damn asd peak files or some other random crap.
how do you expect the software to get better if you get life time updates? That's just a bad business model. Money coming and going into A&R id a good thing
@@unnecessary-roughness3303true, I honestly was feeling guilty since I bought the all plugins version. I thought I would just get the current plugins available, but they keep giving you all their new paid plugins for free. I think that’s why they are starting to push the cloud subscription stuff. Which if you are only a FL Studio kind of person, it’s probably not a bad deal.
@@unnecessary-roughness3303 Well, FL is getting better and better with lifetime updates, so how about that? Furthermore, this type of business encourages people to buy the software instead of downloading the cracked version.
@@HOLLASOUNDS Its by far the most unstable of any beta or Alpha I have used & I have been testing this software since version 7. Just making people aware.
Not necessary. You can use tools outside of ableton and I don’t feel like that is really a music feature, it’s kinda like adding a built in audio converter to me
@@Alsexaren Ableton does have built in audio conversion though? PCM to lossless conversion. Floating point to fixed point conversion, sample rate conversion. In fact it's automatic on import! It's the world's first (ish) dedicated DJ DAW. Why isn't stem separation important for it?
@@Bthelick I didn’t know that tbh. I think stem separation is more of a utility feature that could be nice to have than an actual DAW feature which would fit better in FL
I'm not gonna lie, as cool as plugin sandboxing is it's not without its own problems. Lots of VST3 plugins do not play nice with being sandboxed and it can cause a bunch of weird issues. I would like the option, but yeah even if they do it 1 to 1 like Bitwig it won't be perfect
@@neqkk Sometimes they won't work well, cause audio dropouts/glitches, the GUI of the plugin can have a stroke, cause CPU usage spikes but most of the time they work there's just some weirdness that comes with it. It's random tho so you never know if it's going to misbehave which is more common than you'd like, especially with VST3 plugins. Preventing DAW crashes is generally awesome but there's also a cost and you're never sure when thats going to pop up.
Am I seeing things, or is Ableton burning through CPU like crazy? I did a few tracks and can only compare to Logic but this software seems quite consuming.
I like to criticise everything weaver, people, things, myself, you, i find contentment in it, but i like your glasses. They have an odd upward swept thing at the sides going on but i don't care. I hope you like them too, glasses are harder to love than ballbags
Ableton is in need of more buffs fl studio got a incredible force the last few years and ableton is not really having the buffs it needed to stay in the meta
Drum Sampler with no pitch or filter envelope, no sample reversing... Woopty-Frigging-Doooo... How to say a DAW is dying without saying a DAW is dying.
@@lilwoodiewood3457 Like I said "Unless you want to stay with Ableton lite for years" There are other DAWs like MPC beats that are free or come with other products. Cracking software is a option but I'd say that's not necessary these days. There are also free VSTs.
Really happy with this update for .1 actually makes the upgrade more enticing. Sadly I don’t see sandboxing becoming a thing as apparently the way Ableton is coded makes it impossible to add.
Let me spill the beans once and for ALL. The makers of Ableton are not Dumb. they are Suuuuuuuuper smart. whatever stuff they are adding or introducing has been well thought years back.... After the AI scare they will and you will see that a lot more sheet will be added through updates.... These companies wont give away everything at once for the simple reason "money" with every new version there is uodate, new purchase of ableton involved.... so here is my 100% on point rant... challenge me anyone who thinks otherwise.
Stem separation is a utility feature and not like a DAW feature , that’s stuff that makes sense in FL but Ableton doesn’t have a lot of studd plike that and probably won’t
The best thing about ableton is its workstation, but the rest is far behind Logic. I already had these things in Emagic Logic Audio Platinium 6 for Mac Os9, 22 years ago... how is it possible that they don't have such complete things? Ok, they left all the weight for M4L, but that's not great, when they want to announce something new and many times it's not worth updating, for things that in DAW's that are more innovative, they have things like autotune or a Melodine inside. What I never liked about Ableton is that it never uses the 12 cores of an M1 chip, it will always use 6 or 7 at most, only and only in performance mode, it doesn't matter if you are playing music with the loop arrangement or the multitrack arrangement. , it works only in performance and I don't like that at all, because it makes your M1 stay at a 6 core, wasting all the potential of your machine. And in Windows the same thing happens. That's why I no longer go back to Ableton as my main DAW for everything, I only use it for M4L and nothing else. Thanks for the video, as always it is informative and entertaining. 😅👍
@@notnoaintno5134mapping is different than keycommand. Keycommands are universal and mappings are project based. Example: You cannot change what TAB does.
I find Ableton interesting because its the exact opposite to Reason when in comes to device UI Graphics, Ableton has none while Reason divides look like rack gear. I wonder how much time and resources the Ableton team saves by not having to worry about UI graphics, basically they look like Dos mode.
I'm a big bitwig fan and main it as my DAW now, but it is definitely missing a lot of fundamental features at the moment that I have to use 3rd party tools for. Hoping Bitwig 6 fills in a bunch of the gaps whenever it drops.
The grid is super cool and it's like a modular synth video game to me but I can't figure out a lot of fundamentals. I kinda regret buying Bitwig Studio 5 as my first DAW and am looking for another. I have ableton 12 light so hopefully these features trickle down
