How do you personally use Ableton with X/Live/One etc?

I rhyme and make beats. I always end up not recording what I write or tracking my beats, because for years I’ve been stuck on using ProTools. For some reason PT just never clicked with me. I don’t enjoy the layout or process of working with it.

So recently i got Ableton, and I kind of dig it. It’s more intuitive to me than PT.

My hope is that by using it to make beats it will make recording vocals more streamlined than tracking everything on PT.

Now I’m trying to figure out what is best to do on the Mpc and what is best to do in Ableton. For exp, should I chop on the Mpc stand alone, and just track to Ableton? Or is it better to chop and sequence in Ableton, using the MPC just as a midi controller?

I am commenting to come back to this later. I am currently finishing up my first song on my One+. I haven't upgraded to MPC3 yet and want to use Ableton to record the vocals. I'm not sure if I should export as an ALS file into Ableton or export the stems as audio. I'm busy the next few days, but will be back to comment to see if I can help you in any way.
