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.
could these commands be triggered by a set of midi drum pads so that the drummer wouldn't have to stop and press a button?
