Very interesting article. I currently use Ableton Live 7(I can hold out on upgrading to 8, I’d rather have some more equipment or vst software before I fork out the money to upgrade) for my composing and arranging. I love how easy it is to record the midi and edit it, quantize it, pencil in a missing note etc. Compared to all the other midi editors I’ve used eg: Reason, Pro Tools(they have since come out with a new version that supposedly has better midi capabilities). I find it’s automation abilities to be very easy to use, click it, make a point, move it, I love it. Very easy to make sections in your arrangement and copy and paste them or extend them, overdub onto them. Once I’m all done getting the song how I want it to be, I’ll export each track and import them in Sonar Pro 8. Add any reverb I need or delay perhaps and than any compression and EQing. I’ll export that, bring it back into a stereo mastering session if I feel the need to compress the whole song to make it louder or to add more EQ to the overall song and I think it works as a great combo!

Anyone had any experience with Logic before Apple? (holy cow)
