- Briefly: I will be away from my Pro Tools setup for around 3 months, and was toying with the idea of getting Logic Express 7 as a simple audio editor & Audio Unit host (which I can use without any hardware, unlike Pro Tools).
- However, are there any other (cheaper) alternatives than LE7? To be honest, GB is good as an "ideas pad", but does not support automation of any of my Audio Unit parameters. - I am checking out "Intuem" right now, but I would appreciate any suggestions on programs I can use that will allow me to play with midi, audio as well as tweak the individual audio unit parameters (e.g. automation of filter sweeps etc.). - Having another look around, I think it basically comes down to Metro SE Vs. Intuem? Any thoughts from users of these? Thanks in advance for your usual kind support! This post has been edited by nreyes: Wed 10 Nov 2004, 15:54 |

I would recommend Ableton Live 4. It is one of the most versatile programs I have ever used and is particularly good if you are working on a laptop. Also, it's automation is excellent

Live is not optimized for Altivec or dual processors.
Performance is ok on a powebook, but I get more milage out of Logic Express. With the included plugs, and direct Garage Band file support, 3rd party plugs are optional, I only use a few. -------------------- G-Dub
