I’ll use max for live sequencers, and Ableton Live 10/11 to send notes to my hardware, and record the audio in Ableton as well (both midi and audio via MOTU UL MK4). Works fine. The only negative is you don’t get to use a trendy hashtag, so not for everyone.

Another friend of mine was born in 1891, he had a long career in music until his death in 1975, he was born #DAWless, and he died #DAWless too.

The M4L “Mono Sequencer” is one of my favorite sequencers.
LOVE that thing!

Why are you looking at the fingers?
The real feature here is the air in the hair!
I suppose most of the ranters have lost most of theirs.

I sent this to a friends and he said, “Who is this? Looks like us combined”
sort of.
i use Bitwig on arrangement stage as an old school MIDI only sequencer.
sometimes clips in Bitwig contain notes & CC, but sometimes only PC messages to change patterns/clips on my hardware.

Analog, technically; scientifically and artistically is a different thing than digital.
There is no new analog, there is and always will be only analog or digital sound. Analog has always been, by definition, DAWless.
I find I either prefer working completely on the computer or completely off it. Good for different things. Someone above asked about software sequencers. I love Numerology. Absolutely brilliant. It is not slick or fashionable, but it works very well and is incredibly flexible.

Good point. I consider digital as a good way to record. Only because it’s so expensive to get a functional multitrack analog studio together. Digital, though it doesn’t sound as good, can sound pretty nice with a minimum of investment.
which brings the question: Is Dawlogue the new Analless?

What’s the point of trying to stay analog, when literally no body will ever hear your analog recording, unless you start distributing tape?

Personally I’d love to record my gear 1/2" tape and get it pressed to vinyl.
Me and my friends would hear it and that would be ultimately satisfying.

I’d probably have a Genloss II on the master buss as well

I see the digital format best suited for recording; distribution. My interests are more towards live performance, and the sound of the music I make is important. The analog synths just sound better to me, just my opinion.
But before I was just talking science. Analog and digital are fundamentally different. In the creation of music I personally like the fidelity and sound of analog instruments. I have a few Moog semi modular synths along side my digitakt and digitone and the character of the sound is noticably different. Not saying “better”, I get down with my elektron gear… but there is just more to the analog sounds that appeals to my ears. I was playing electric bass along with drum kit for 30 years, listening to Hammond organ and proper guitars, so my ear is tuned to analog I guess.
In my mix having the diversity makes it all the sweeter sounding though.
Nah its now “abc is a real instrument and not a daw in a box like xyz”
