It seems like Live LE has some artificial limitations, but I got a $50 coupon (it's $150 total) for it with the nanokey I just bought. I was wondering if it was worth the switch?

I would stick with it... Ableton live is not that easy to learn how to use, and I think its intended for live use (backings playback, samples etc)...

I'm positive it's also good for recording but I belive Reaper will be more "logical" and easy to use for yout purpose. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's waaaay easier to use. There is great keyboard shortcuts, it's fast and easy to use, a nicer interface, very nice midi editor (Reaper's one is crap) and many more things that make it very cool. Yeah, it's for live. But it works very well for recording. Plus you can easily create guitar loops and add drums and whatever you want. For me Reaper is really unintuitive. I tried Sequel, Reason and many others but I never felt as comfortable as with Ableton. From my point of view Ableton is great. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It was incredibly easy to record. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Everybody has different preferences, and although I gave my vote to Reaper, well any DAW is good if in good hands. Abletone always had a good compatibility with MIDI controllers, and I think you will get the best of it with Nanokeys. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
