I finally bit the bullet and got a Cintiq 13HD. So far, it’s a delight to use for creating graphics. I saved a few hundred bucks by getting a refurbished model.
Graphics Tablet
All-in Ableton, Reaktor, New Graphics Tablet
I went ahead and upgraded to Ableton Live Suite while it was still on sale. I did a bunch of Reaktor tutorials on building synthesizers in Reaktor while I downloaded Live. Also, my Intuos 2 finally died, so I had to get a new graphics tablet. I went with an Intuos Pro. It’s a nice tablet.
