Sonar has Matrix view, which is similar to Live's session view: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X3&language=3&help=Views.46.htmltopaz wrote:Ableton live is linear, hit the tab key.
session view is for jamming out your ideas, then you record those into arrange (linear) view.

Well, you could do it with drum racks, but's not unique to Live. You could do same thing in Sonar as well. Just use FXpansion Geist do it.Astralv wrote:So I thought- I can assign sounds to the PUSH pads, and it would record it in real time? Is there even such thing as recording in real time in Live? I know it has linear view, but I do not grasp the concept. I installed the demo too soon and now it is about to run out and I am still busy.
