Well.....after 15 years with Logic this transition has not been easy. I should say the transition is still in progress and will be for a while. Logic is an open canvas albeit a linear one. Live is and is not. Session view is giving me a workout and the arrange view is misbehaving from a logical prospect.....but the unusual sonic possibilities Im discovering within live and Max for Live are worth the headaches...... I mean record an audio clip into session and where does it go....not into the arrange view, click on the clip and there it is as a sample at the bottom of the screen. Its not a sample its audio

......

Ok, sure its a sample, everything is technically once its in the computer. Ive got markers appearing all over the place that to the best of my knowledge I did not summon that mess up the loop progress....and I dont use loops thanks you. Thats "original" never heard before 24bit audio that just happens to be looping.....so there is a fair bit of unknown territory to discover. I think it comes down to treating every audio track I record as a sample or a sample of say a minimoog even if it was a real one...live will treat as such, it does not discriminate. The creative possibilities are exciting. The sense that the computer/daw is conforming / constricting my work flow is unsettling. Such is the learning curve
