| Ableton Live!!
Ableton Live features a click that runs independently... set up your samples on as many tracks as you wish and separate them into sections of the song. If you miss a cue or get off the click or just want to vamp and jam, you can kill your tracks and then trigger the next section at your will. when you trigger a scene, everything comes in on the downbeat of the next bar, so you're always perfectly in time. I am currently MD for a major label artist and we use pro tools per the production manager's preferences, but it's incredibly rigid for when we want to improvise or change things up from night to night. I much much prefer Ableton Live. |
