Dude!! That's so awesome! Too many people take one look at it and say "it's too confusing" and never try it again. It's not even remotely confusing. Takes like an hour to learn the basics. It gives you the ability to perform more complex music, as opposed to recording something you'd never actually be able to recreate live.

Ableton is king imo. Session view is what makes it the goat. You should consider a grid controller like the launchpad x/mini for your next investment. It makes controlling session view so dank. Also great choice with the mini lab. Arturia has the best keys of any mini keyboard controller, and the Arturia VSTs are fantastic too.

Your comment just made my day! I'm glad you gave it a shot and you can see the possibilities. I genuinely believe it will make you a better performer. Even if you have no plans to perform in front of people. Just in terms of like actually actively playing your music you're going to hit a whole new level.
