Ableton Id use for live shows - its great for that. The vogue sound at the moment is for a punchier deep sound, thats not crystal clear 24-bit, so might try this and use the simplicity of Acid (v3) as a mixdown recorder?I use both - I far prefer Acid to ableton or any other DAW for arrangment - its almost like lego or something I just find it really easy to see the overall structure of a track in acid and its realllly easy to edit.

May have to try Acid Pro again, moved so many times, I don't know where my disks are. Now, it doesn't really matter what software you use, it all sounds the same but at that point in time, I really could hear a difference between some software, not all, I wish I had saved an old PC from 2005ish where I had finally acquired all the software I needed to be useful and just saved it for a vintage machine.

The vogue sound at the moment is for a punchier deep sound, thats not crystal clear 24-bit, so might try this and use the simplicity of Acid (v3) as a mixdown recorder?I don't recall, is Acid Pro 3 limited to 16 bit? That could be the cause of why you like the sound more. Just to see if the older sound of Acid 3.0 has something to give. So I'm thinking as a test (or moving forward) for my Dance Music projects, to do all the filters, audio, fx etc in Ableton and then export each track as the end to mix in Acid when its 95% done. Just firing up Acid Pro 3 now alongside Ableton 9.7.Ībleton is far superior now with its looping, warp markers and FX, but there is something about Acid Pro that sounds different, almost 'tighter' and a bit bassier? (great for lofi dance music loops)
