When i watch videos on youtube how easy, with great quality warping etc the audio editing is i wonder if it is the best daw for it? Or is it bullshit? What are your opinions? As a fl studio user i always find audio Editing a pain and use mostly 3rd party samplers.

Yes. To me, at least. It fulfills all my audio manipulation needs.

Depends on what you want to do and what you mean by "best".

The warping is very good in Live though.

It's the best one for me YMMV

I'd say no. If all you want to do is warp the audio, it's pretty good. If you want to do things like takes and comping, tuning the audio (Melodyne style) etc. it's quite tedious to do in Ableton.

I like Reaper.. item FX ftw. And about a million other things.

Ableton is best for live audio manipulation as in tweaking with a controller, but not best at audio editing by a long shot.

Well that's Reaper out of the way, all we need now is for someone to do the same with Bitwig...

Yep. Tracktion Waveform is surprisingly good at that aspect (takes and comping). There’s others as well far better then Ableton at that, too.

Live is dead easy for takes & comping if you know how to work with it

Bitwig pretty much sucks for audio editing. Sorry to disappoint you...

Hey guys sorry i needed to be more specific. Especially with mangling samples. I saw how easy someone showed on youtube a dubsteb tutorial making drops and so one with a sample pitching, warping, taking a portion of it and stretching, copy paate etc. Also building a nice texture and blending. It looked so easy and fluid i love sound designing with mangling samples and this sounded great i will look for the vid again

Reaper is best for audio editing than Live.

Well, I did some just yesterday. Ableton is certainly handy when it comes to little arrangement tweaks once bounced to audio. Also sample warping turned out to be great way to help FX sit in the mix.

For me ableton is the most convenient as far as manipulating audio/samples.

1)Taking bits of audio from a track and dropping it in both sampler is a matter of seconds.
2) resampling one track to another is a few clicks away.
3)any track you freeze, you can grab the audio and drop it anywhere then unfreezes the track, fiddle and repeat.
4) different warp modes allow you to screw the sound up pretty good.

Is ABLETON the best daw for audio manipluation?
