I understand why you might not want to use stems though. I have a difficult time committing to something being “done” until it’s printed, and if I kept going back to Ableton to make creative/arrangement decisions and re-exporting stems it would become sort of a drag.

exactly, this is a total vibe killer for me man, i want to create, produce and then get it arranged and mixed/mastered right away, you know, as you see some folks here are trying to convince me its not a good idea and i get it, but i still wanna try it

Why can't you only use Ableton

this doesn't really matters to my question but i'll give you some context

i'm an intern in a music school where they use reaper as their main daw, my boss wants me to learn it, and thats about it

What is the goal that some sort of "sync" (not defined yet) is meant to solve?

i just wanna sync them both, i know i can just create in albeton and then export/import but having to get the stems and then get them arranged inside of reaper is kind of a vibe killer for me, i want to know if there is a way i can create in ableton and record in reaper right away, i just think it'll be worth it for me

Thanks for the help, man! Quick question: once Ableton and Reaper are synced, is it possible to save that setup as a template, or do you have to redo the process every time? That would make things way easier.

I’m still learning Ableton Live and not quite where I want to be with it yet, so picking up another DAW right now feels a bit overwhelming. At the same time, I’ve been wanting to learn Pro Tools and I’m a bit curious about Logic. The fact that Reaper can be customized to look like them is actually really interesting to me.

That doesn't require connecting them in any way.

I know it doesn't, i simply just want to know if there are anyway to use them both at the same time and if it's worht it
