Ableton Live

The program allows me to creatively express myself while maintaining professionalism in sound, functionality, and features. It's best suited for MIDI users but certainly can easily handle live audio coming in. In fact, in my studio, I use it with incoming audio consistently. I record guitars, basses, live drums, etc. Ultra-low latency is key when using DAW and a lot of that stems from the computer it's deployed on, but some of it also relies on the audio interface. The program is also not CPU intensive like others I have used.

When I work with Synthesizers, I record guitars or record Foley and percussion... Ableton Live is without a doubt my DAW of choice, there is no other that works better in those aspects. The facility to record that the DAW has is incredible and very intuitive, and it is one of the strengths of the program. But, I would not recommend it for mixing and mastering in projects with many stems and/or very heavy projects, I think they have to polish the view of the Mixer and improve its usability.

[Ableton Live is] perfect for all applications of music production! Can't think of where it would be less appropriate...

Ableton Live works great for any serious producers who have a small understanding of production. It could be confusing for a beginner, so it would be helpful to provide more in depth tutorials for the user. Ultimately, Ableton is a great program for anyone; producer or sound engineer or just someone who needs to fine tune some audio levels.

Ableton Live is a perfect fit for loop-based music like electronic music of all varieties. It is especially suited to minimal techno and IDM, but is really suitable for any style of music that relies extensively on loops and samples. Ableton Live is also well-suited for sequencing out loop-based music through its Live view, while the Composer view allows for enough arranging features that you can take a song from concept to completion fairly easily.

Ableton Live is less well-suited for fully recorded music that has no sample-based or looping components. It is less well-suited for non-electronic genres, although it is perfectly fine, but many of the features would not be useful or necessary in these cases.

Ableton live is great for anybody who wants to perform their personally produced music live. It allows you to have a lot of freedom. It has a bit higher of a barrier to entry than some other music production softwares so it isn't as well-suited for beginners.

Ableton is most known for being used by DJs and producers for live production, but it's excellent at all levels of music production, including video import and scoring to scene. I've used Ableton to write songs, score television and feature films, create podcasts from scratch, mix and master podcast audio for others, and record voiceover.

Ableton can be used in all the scenarios where music production is required. Whether it be professional studios or if it is home productions. It can be used almost anywhere as the features of this software can fit almost in any place. It is also used by professional teams in big companies for marketing and presentation music.

I cannot think of any scenario where this is not well suited. If you're making music the professional way, Ableton is the ladder to success.
