Icon Platform M+ Overview

There are three main versions of Ableton Live: Intro, Standard and Suite. Although Intro and Standard are both powerful, Suite offers extra features, such as 70GB of library sounds, in contrast to Standard's 10GB. A: The Platform B+ is your best bet in this case - it is laid out in a clear, logical fashion and is conducive to your work flow The term ‘DAW controller’ can be applied to any piece of hardware that has been designed to interact with a Digital Audio Workstation (such as Ableton, Cubase, Logic or Pro Tools), with a selection of physical controls like faders, encoders and buttons that allow the user to make adjustments in their chosen software – usually via the trusty MIDI protocol – and providing a similar level of control as that of a mixing desk. The Platform M+ uses MIDI data to send commands to each DAW, which means that it can also be used for a range of other applications, including as an expression controller for virtual instruments and other plugins within DAW projects. What’s more, when combined with third-party apps, the Platform M+ can interact with other creative programs such as Adobe’s Lightroom Classic photo-editing software. This makes the Platform M+ a versatile solution to those who would primarily use it for DAW-based work but want the option to be able to use it for other tasks. Finally DAW Controllers are also generally a lot cheaper than a full-size console, and generally smaller too, making them great for smaller spaces and mobile recording. They’re also great practise if you plan to eventually move to working with a larger console, and many offer cross-platform flexibility, making it easy to switch over to a different DAW. Default patches are usually offered for a variety of DAWs out of the box, and custom patches can be saved and loaded for use with instruments and effects plugins.
