Ableton Live vs Audition

• Session View: This is the biggest advantage of Ableton. It provides you this view in which you can create different tracks for the same part of the song. For example:- If you are making the chorus of the song, you can save one thread. Now if you want to try and listen to a different drum set in a new thread, you can simply do that and listen to the new track while preserving the older one. Once you are satisfied with what you're listening, simple record the same in arrangement view and you are done. You can switch to the arrangement view and listen to the final song.
• Pre-installed instruments and loops:- Ableton's library which is included with the software itself while you purchase it is amazing. I bet you will ever need third-party plugins for it. It comes loaded with hundreds of loops and number of instruments which are completely professional and free to use.
• Amazing Graphical User Interface:- Even if you're a beginner in this field, Ableton can be learned within a few hours. The basic functionality of this software is very easy to understand and use. Of course, advanced stuff comes with practice but the basic functioning can be learned and within a few hours you are producing your own music.

• Has dozens of shortcuts available right out of the box so the most common tools are already available.
• Has both a waveform editor and a multitrack editor, making it easy to edit either an individual channel or the entire clip at once, depending on your needs.
• While it has an amazing range of tools and effects, they are well organized in the menus so they are at once easy to find and not overwhelming.
• You can edit right on the timeline, zooming in and out to make finding clips easy. You can also place markers for important sections.
• Audio clips can be matched to video inside Audition or you can work with audio already attached to a video. Audition makes matching audio to video extremely easy, showing the corresponding video in a panel as you adjust audio on the timeline.

• Version 10 chews up all my CPU but prior versions didn't
• Midi channel automation isn't intuitive, have to make an instrument group
• New version install should overwrite older versions

• More presets: Audition has a pretty solid library of sound effect presets, but could stand to add more to increase the ability and efficiency of the software.
• Help guide: it would be great, especially for newer users, if Audition implemented a help guide that could walk you through how to accomplish certain tasks.
• User interface: Audition could benefit from having more customization options to adapt to specific user preferences.

• Ableton Live allows me to rapidly sequence multitrack music as needed, without getting stuck at any step of the process.
• Ableton Live also allows me to quickly export or upload to SoundCloud for easy sharing. This is a big time-saver.
• The only negative ROI I can think of is the cost. There are competitors like Reaper that are much more affordable and have many of the same features.

• We don't really measure. But we pay for the Creative Cloud license for multiple users to allow them to be creative and do cool things. If anything, we've gotten a positive ROI because our video production attracts new talent and new talent means more billing opportunities.
