Just a quick post to let you all know I shall be shifting my primary DAW from Orion Platinum to Ableton Live.

I have always liked Live but thought it was a little on the pricey side, however I didn't look at it since I became a student again. Luckily for me they do quite substantial educational discounts. Therefore I have decided to move away from Orion Platinum and use Live as my main music production platform. Orion is good and all, but having used it for the last 5 years there are some things which I wish Orion had which Live does (automation envelopes for one), Also it will be easier to integrate my a-station synth within Live as the audio file handling is probably the best amongst current DAWs (warp markers etc.)

So there you go, probably take a while for me to get fully comfortable with using Live, until I find out how to use it to its fullest but the tools available in Live make for some interesting playing.
