Good day!

For past few years I've been using ableton as a traditional daw (arrange window) but it's not quite in there. Here's my workflow: I pick up samples from browser and put them in timeline. Then I do as much editing on arr window as possible. Nudging clips, cutting, joining, reversing, building breaks or instruments on several tracks, combining them etc. I don't use midi and would not like to go editor stage at all so...

Which daw would let you do plenty of sample accurate audio editing on arrange window or best editing tools in general?

Btw, I'm on mac . Cubase was my main sequencer in the era of SX but I had PC back then. I used to like it a lot but it wasn't so much used by mac people (2005).

it's mac... and moved forward comparing to SX...
have a look at Studio One by presonus (there's a free version btw). single window, and it may work better for you actually

Live's audio clip manipulation is very powerful. I don't think there will be any improvement if you change daw. But if you are talking about audio 'editor', I could understand it as Live doesn't have that feature. You can compensate it by using external audio editor though.

what does ableton not do that you need?

To laymen, software development is something akin to wizardry. Neither time, nor effort are involved. If software is missing features they want, or has bugs, it is solely because someone has been too lazy to wave their magic wand.

You could get a copy of Studio One Artists in the Market Place cheap as chips. Meanwhile try the full demo or the free version (although this one lacks some audio features present in the paid versions).

Samplitude of course, but you'd still have to use bootcamp until Magix finishes porting it over to Mac. Cool

Get "Wave Editor" and set it as your editor in LIVE for extra functionality as well

Pro Tools or Digital Performer will be your best bet besides Live.
Live offers a few great things loop player wise, but Pro Tools and DP are much more advanced as far as micro editing etc. DP7 is quite stable and since DP8 has been announced you'll get a free upgrade to 8 when it comes out. IMO DP has a few better tricks mixing wise than Pro Tools. I use DP7 and Live so I'm partial to that combo, they compliment each other well.
