THis is nice. To be honest, at first I was worried it was just another radio hit style song, but then the melody started and it was kinda different, plus your kick was stronger than most radio hits, so I liked it a lot as it progressed. :D

Do you still use ACID btw? Did they finally fix the VST instrument setting not being saved glitch?

Thanks! I'm trying out a new sound, so there might be things I need to change.

Currently I use Ableton Live.
I bought a new audio interface last year, but the ASIO driver wasn't compatible with Acid Pro, so thus I began using Ableton. Ableton is much easier to use than Acid Pro, especially for automation and effects. Not to mention it doesn't have that VST bug you mentioned DJ.

Ah ok, is the interface similar, though? I never could get used to FL Studio style interface, despite people claiming it was like MTVMG. Otherwise I only got used to Magix Music Maker 14 and ACID 7

The interface of Ableton Live is completely different than Acid Pro.

One of the reasons I used Acid Pro was because its interface was mostly intuitive. I say mostly because when it came to more advanced things such as automation, the interface was obstructive, or should I say the lack there of.

The switch to Ableton Live was a bit confusing at first, as is any new digital audio workstation. I first I was thinking: "is this all there is?". The interface was almost too simple to the point that it seemed like I was overlooking something important. Ableton has two "windows". The arrangement and session windows. Everything else sort of surrounds these two windows. Splitting up the workstation into two parts was a very good move on the designer's part. It makes working with Ableton very streamlined. You get access to only the things you need for the particular task you're working on, which makes sense. Why clutter the screen with utilities/controls that are unused while arranging the tracks. This is what separates Ableton from most DAW out there.

YeahI hate when there are over 9000 buttons like in FL Studio. However, it sucks when the hidden stuff is almost impossible to find without a 1 hour Google search, like Magix Music Maker 16. I hope Ableton isn't like that. X.x

Also for DAWs I really recommend a large screen. 1024x768 is just gonna be a major hassle.
