Topic: music composition flow
I am not 100% satisfied with how I currently work with my studio when creating music and as I personally know very little people who are into making music with hardware synths at home, I'm using this post to learn how others work in their studios.
The way I currently work I record some midi notes, send them to my synths and add percussion sequenced directly from the drum computer over it. When I then want to start adding automations, I'm a bit stuck. Ableton does not properly integrate with midi synths as I strongly dislike the "record cc to clips" functionality. So, what I do is start multitracking and record automated audio layers to ableton. That of course leads to all the "fun" of multitracking on computer and it removes a lot of the flexibility you have working just with midi.
How do you work? Does anyone know a decent solution to the ableton midi automation issue? (didn't find much on the internet) I'm considering ditching ableton all together and using something else instead but maybe there are other options.
