Is it possible to adapt M4L devices to be used on other DAW platforms?
Like Pro Tools or Logic Pro X? There are several M4L devices that I would love to incorporate in to my work flow but I find Ableton itself to be a less than stellar work environment after decades in PT/Logic.
It seems like it would theoretically possible to just run Max in the background and set up some MIDI I/O between the two. Am I crazy?
You are about a decade too late with your wishes.
All that was possible in the past, with pluggo.
now the world is better, max is better
but Live is as shity as ever.
you can still send MIDI and OSC between Max and DAWs but your patch won't behave exactly like a plugin
Reaper has a cool scripting feature, but it's not Max
