Same here , I keep a couple of those Blue DEF jugs laying around so I can fill them and try to minimize the amount of time looking stupid at the fuel island <| sep |> I use Cubase . I started out working in FL years and years ago but that just became a huge headache . Once I switched over to Cubase and got comfortable with it , my sessions became much more enjoyable . Ableton is nice but when I tried it I was pretty used to Cubase and didn ' t really feel the need to bother learning another DAW . One really nice thing I will say about Ableton is the built in effects . There are some that I wish Cubase adopted . <| sep |> welcome to the club of odd snake parent , give it a week and you will be wondering where youll put the next one .
