I might spend my tax returns on a DAW and right now I'm trying to decide between Ableton Live and Max/MSP, which one should I go for?
I am aware they're both completely different.

There's nothing you cant do in LMMS for free
David Adams
LMMS looks and feels so cheap and shitty though and the way you use wav recordings feels very janky
Thomas Reed
Seeing as most haven’t even heard of the other one you mentioned ableton all the way, fl is aight too

I think ableton suite includes a max license. Also Max isn’t a DAW, it’s a visual programming language and takes years of study to create anything worthwhile
Parker Smith
So? I've made the best music of my life with just audacity and LMMS and my desktop keyboard. I do all my stuff with just those
Max/MSP would be legit worth the money for the license. Anything else is decoration/gear fetish
Julian Rodriguez
There’s no point in using anything except Ableton. It’s the industry standard.
Isaiah Richardson
Actually the main focus is in sound synthesis.

Ableton is a joke, you should be able to make music AUTOMATICALLY and it just turns it into a lego tinker fest
Audacity + command line + LMMS + usb keyboard is literally all you need to make any kind of music.
Yes, but most people don't ever get that far
Aaron Bailey
Links to your lmms songs?
Caleb Lee
Don’t bother lad. There’s far too many larpers on Soundcloud as it is
Dylan Long
No just linux fag who doesnt want to compromise
I used ableton + macbook pro for years, never got anything done
Maybe, not at home now gimme a bit
Alexander Hughes
if that’s the case and you’re serious about synthesis you should pick up a max license and a copy of electronic music and sound design and maybe the computer music tutorial

I want to make music but all the methods I've seen so far don't satisfy me or work with the type of sound I'm after.
Max seems like something that would be great for generating sounds and harmonies.
I'll need something to use for editing and arranging the sounds though which is why I am in search of a good all around DAW.
I could use my video editing program for that purpose but idk it just feels weird.

What the actual fuck? How do you even work with all that shit overlapping?
Benjamin James
ableton live has a version of Max already bundled with it. i haven't used it but i'm pretty sure you can program it like you can with the standalone application and they're integrated pretty seamlessly imo. so you can use max4live for your sound design process and easily insert those sounds into an arrangement and mix them without switching windows

Okay then here is my next question:
Should I get Ableton Live or Audiomulch?
Gavin Collins
if you went with max you could use easily use a free program like audacity or maybe reaper or something to arrange audio files recorded directly in max. Depends on what you’re trying to do
Benjamin Price
You can't drag and drop in audacity though.

i'm a producer who runs a small label and am in contact with many artists. i'm talking about electronic music here.
ableton is the standard and most will use this one.
some people still prefer other daws such as fl, bitwig, reaper, logic, etc... not it all comes to where are you most comfortable.
now max is a completely different beast, i would recommend learning ableton first and then using max a long with it later on.
@ me if you have any questions.
cheers

Can I write some stuff up in a piano roll and then control something like a KORG Minilogue XD with it?

Don't waste your money. Learn pure data or preferably supercollider.
Nathaniel Powell
You don't, that patch is a messy piece of shit.

Brayden Powell
You can do that with almost any of the DAWs: Ableton, Reaper, etc
