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. |
+1thumbsup ableton is the most flexible software for live use i've ever encountered. and yes you can setup a drum pad via midi to trigger virtually any parameter in live. we have a click and some backing going out to the drummer and just the backing going out to the mains. works out well.
