I’ve been finishing tracks on Song Mode, but then having to record each part and restructuring them in Ableton seem redundant and time consuming. Also I do like the hardware-mixed sound. (sorry, not sure how to describe it…)
But then separated tracks on DAW seem to sound louder and more clear.
Maybe a silly question, but I am curious, do you prefer to record each part (BD, snare, hat etc) separately to DAW? Or as whole?
