I've been a long time Cubase user mainly because that was the first one I started with. I have always been aware of other Daws but due to mainly being a creature of habit I just kept sticking with Cubase. I like Cubase but I never allowed myself to see the strengths of other Daws until recently. Started messing around with Ableton Live lite as I was doing a lot more synth work and using of VST's quickly realizing how simple and powerful Ableton Live is to host all my VST synths etc for well 'live' performance. Imagine that. I came from using standalone hardware synth workstations to all VST based using Midi controllers. I recently upgraded to Ableton Live Standard. What I love most about it: how fast I can get things going/setup to just create. to play. It's a paradigm shift for me. With cubase and perhaps other similar daws I kept getting locked up in the para aspects of music. The settings and technical side of things whereas now I'm more focused on quick music creation. Ableton really facilitates that for me which is worth its weight in gold. I'll still use Cubase for the actual recording of the ideas I generate In AL. I was always a 'one DAW user' now I see that was just limiting myself. Just ordered an Akai APC40MKII also to work with Ableton.
