Whether you are an Artist, Songwriter, Producer, or Instrumentalist, knowing your way around Pro Tools is very valuable. You may have heard the DAW being referred to as the “industry standard,” which is definitely true, especially if you are working in professional recording studios. Pro Tools is amazing at integrating with mixing boards and similar studio technologies, but it was also one of the first digital audio workstations to be widely used for recording digitally.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Ableton Live is its beautifully crafted “Session View.” Ableton LIVE gets its title from this live-looping-based interface which can be used in a multitude of different ways, all super awesome for workflow, composition, arranging, songwriting, beat making, and performing.
Many people have the false belief that Ableton’s Session View is reserved for live performance. However, this interface has some awesome features that can be used both on and off stage. Let’s check it out.
