Right now I use Ableton Live because it suits my needs for a DAW that has a highly flexible set of optimized DSP tools bundled with it, and that alone is enough to satisfy most of my creative energies musically. It will probably happen some day that I will use another software for everything, and hopefully it will be open sourced. As for right now, I am still enjoying the benefits of a bit of capitalism to speed up the development cycle of proprietary software. But the way that I use Live is _COMPLETELY_ informed from several years of strain and sweat over things like Pd and Csound, using books like Richard Bourlanger's edited The Csound Book, the Dodge & Jerse book, and also the tomes of Curtis Roads.
nice, i've been wondering about that. is your music loop based?i only checked out ableton a very long while ago and it was too heavy on my computer. i was always wondering if you can use it in such a way to make not so loopy stuff.

I must say, I learned Pd also from books not about Pd at all, like Dodge/Jerse's "Computer Music" etc. Pd itself, like Max, is dead simple to use, but like many instruments difficult to master. But the basics of Pd can be learned in a couple of evenings. Everony can quickly learn what [osc~] is and connect it to [dac~]. The problem then is: What more to do with it? And for that you need to work on your theoretical background for example using books like mentioned.
