Advice on Dawless set up
Hey there! I am new to the dawless process, been using an Ableton Move in combination with a field recorder + live instruments for about 2 months now. still learning all this but i can already tell that i want to stay dawless and expand my arsenal.
I want to upgrade my setup but am unsure of which direction to go in, and don't have enough money to just try multiple. The main issue with using the move right now is that i want more effects/live mangling, more control over arrangement and mixing live, and more tracks. From what i have heard, the Octatrack is largely an answer to my problems, but i want something spontaneous and that doesn't take a lot of setup during the process (more then happy to learn and spend the time reading the manual/setting up template, but if i just sit there during the creation process setting up a channel, i might as well be in a daw).
The Move's major plus in my opinion is how simple and spontaneous it is. Can the Octatrack also be spontaneous, after proper learning and setup? or would i be better off with using another sampler (Tonverk or Torso S4, though i have heard they can be slower/latency) and running that into the move? is there some sort of magical tool or combination of tools that suits my needs?
Thank you so much for any help, and have a good one!
edit: most of what i record is live insturments (my piano & guitar) rather then synths and other midi gadgets (which are more occasional)
