:-) If I were doing
more loop-based music, I'd be all over something like Live (or some
Linux approximation), but I am doing progressive heavy metal and
orchestral/symphonic music, so Live (or some Linux approximation)
would not work so well doing that. Not saying that kind of music
*can't* be done using something like Live, it's just not really suited
for it (at least going by what I read on the website), whereas
traditional DAW & sequencer apps work very well for that.
That's one reason that I like that in Ardour, you can make the timeline
rulers for bars/beats/etc. invisible. A lot of the music I record has
time that is not generated by a machine, and the DAW is not syncing to
anything. A beat timeline is useless for projects like that.
