I tend to mix (and do everything as I go) in Ableton. I just got a Push 2 so I've been building out some templates and racks to try to skip some of the tedium of trying to explore chord/melodic ideas quickly.

I was reminded of this behemoth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndb339l81pU like the interface is terrible, but the DAW should basically know what kind of chord your playing and be able to make transformations to them.

I'm relatively new to producing in general, but one of my main issues with composing in Ableton is just not having easy way to reference the rest of my MIDI clips working on one of them. Or if I decide I want to change my chord progression or my voicing I then have to go and check every other clip to make sure they all match or at least work with the change.
