Dear Elektronauts,
i’m now in a discussion with myself which Daw i will use for create Samples for the OT.
I have Renoise and Ableton but personally a like Renoise more regarding the install size.
I’m not a " Profi" with both so this will be not the question.
What is your favour or experience?
I’m really ask because one of them i will sell.
Thank you very much for your comment!
All the best,
waldemaR
ableton i’m using the drum racks, for chopping 16 samples and them using slices in octatrack and also editing my own samples and recording loops of my vst synths
is more easier for my greetings 
Yup. ableton
i don’t really like it for anything else, but i like reaper for chopping
I use for my MD
Awave Studio
it imports, converts, edits any format,
and sends and receives directly via midi samples already in SDS.
Ableton and Reaktor
I just sold my live license (still have logic and reason 7) in anticipation for bitwig. I’m sure you guys have heard of it but it now has a release date and is priced at half that of ableton suite.
I suggest having a look at the clips on their site. Too many cool features to mention
To give it some cred - it was started by the guys that first coded live that left the company as live has issues that barring a complete rewrite will always be. There (pdc particularly).
You can have midi and audio on the same track and really cool. Modulation functions at the deepest level
Used Logic since 1999 but just moved over to Pro Tools 11 pc. Loving it.
I’m a bit surprised that no one has mentioned Audacity. Its perfect for editing and exporting .wav samples, and it’s FREE. My set-up is hardware based, but for recording and sample management, I exclusively use Audacity. A very capable program.
in no particular order, reaper, ableton, audacity, wavosaur (when on a pc), loop editor
220, 221 whatever it takes
Editor: Adobe Audition
DAW: Ableton
Editor: Goldwave
DAW: Live, Reaper
I am sure that most use ableton… but I would stick to renoise
that new 3.0 version there working on is really really good…
Dear the_dreammer,
yeah. We talk a time ago about Renoise.
And you told me you will do an Video
It is time now for Trackers. Maybe with this some more people jump on this train.
All the best,
waldemaR
Wavelab.
I am still working on it 
… had some work in between…
kick ass music for a rapper… and well I gotta eat…
Snapper by audioease I find is excellent for quick edits . And from the finder too!
used ableton for many years, but recently switched to reaper for linear compositions… it uses less than half as much CPU… its drastically less
lets me use many many more vsts at the same time, doesnt choke on automation, rarely if ever crashes…
and im probably switching to bitwig for live stuff when it comes out
A) I like to make my own sounds from scratch
B) I like to work quickly, so I use:
Toontrack Beatstation for bass, beats and leads
Roland SK-88 Pro for pads, chord progressions and keyboard lines
But soon I’ll stop using them. After a year of owning the OT, I’m finally understanding all the tutorials about using the comb filter, retrig, rtim and LFOs to turn any sample snippet into familiar or bizarre synth tones, kicks, snares, you name it.
My goal is to create most of my tracks using only the Octatrack and interesting noises I record with my iPhone while walking around.
That’s when my Octatrack and I will become one. Can’t wait.
This thread has me thinking about trying to learn Renoise again.
