anyone remembers the share feature?
when live 8 came out, the sharing feature was announced as a major part of the update.
I don´t know the whole story but the beta was killed because of some difficulties.
are there plans to restart this feature? I could still use it, you know....
a sticky in the forum somewhere would be the least, if there´s no official statement on the main page.

Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
Yes, I remember.
Not a long time ago I wanted to share a set with a friend, what I never did before and I said: Ey, thats easy, Ableton has a special funktion for this. After searching in menues and manual without any succes I searched the net and found:
http://www.ableton.com/de/share
OK, so I was right, there WAS something like this. But doing a forum search proved my fear to be right: The project was aborted and never talked about again.

Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
I just looked at the linked pages and it´s a shame ableton decided to abandon this feature.
http://www.ohmstudio.com/ -> they made a nice video, too. let´s see if they can work this out : )
my prediction: 2 years from now every DAW will have a sharing/collaboration over the net feature implemented and those that will not will be considered outdated simply because of this fact.
I don´t think this applies only to music software, but everything else as well.
It´s already being used everywhere, as simple as a check out/check in system on the internal servers of companies and goes to cloud computing (e.g. google docs), where your files are on a server and you edit in your browser.

I'd like to have some compensation in money. This was one of the reasons I bought Live 8.
Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
Here's the most official statement that I remember:
...from http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... 39&start=0Dennis DeSantis wrote:Hi folks,
The best solution right now for doing what the initial preview of Share was capable of is Dropbox.
Pretty much the only limitations are lack of seamless integration with Live and the lack of support for management of third-party plugins via freezing.
As for the future plans on our side, there's nothing I can really say for now besides "we're still working on it."
But I strongly recommend looking into Dropbox as a solution for collaboration. It's dead simple and very robust.
Best,

Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
hardly seems like what we paid for. drop box has a 2gb limit at the free level. will ableton cover the upgrade cost for us?
if you can't share it, it's not yours.

Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
it´s like when you move your company to a bigger office building - the landlord says that there will be a much better wifi infrastructure.
then the wifi doesn´t work and the landlord says - "hey no problem, just use the free wifi from the other company downstairs. you can´t access certain sites because the company blocks them but that´s the best solution really. we will get the new wireless routers but I really don´t know when."
then you say - sure, but I won´t pay the rent till you sort it out.
of course you have paid the rent already in advance.

This is the main reason I bought Live 8 and the most exciting feature announced

Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
couldn't care less. there are far far more important things for me. this is just a comfort function, imho there are a lot of essential features which are way more important and I need every 10 minutes when I'm using live. and keep on mind that one can exchange projects at the moment with the "normal" hassle every other daw has already.

Re: anyone remembers the share feature?
one of the main reasons i bought 8 too.
dropbox offers space, i got plenty of space both at my server, dropbox and elsewhere. share was offering an integrated share service with a tracklog + a things like autofreezing instruments should you use something your other partner doesn't have.
at the least on paper/promotion video it did.
i am very disappointed that we still haven't got share, and i am very very disappointed that they had someone from the ableton hq to enter the forums and say "we're working on it" announcing that some day sometime in some version we will get the share feature (,the same feature we already paid for, which was a flag feature for .
things like this really makes me want to leave ableton and their halfassed promises to rot, but shit man, i paid way too much money on live to just stop using it due to poor management and a marketing personell who got their job description and training from a cornflakes box.
oh, and it also have racks + the session view. sofar it's a winner. sortof anyways.

+1 My primary reason for upgrading to v8. v7 was working just fine for me. I had a very strong need for collaborating remotely with others. Even advised that they bought v8 so we could all do this. Guess what? v8 doesn't do it. Boy did I feel foolish.

the question isn't whether or not you need it, the question is whether or not we will get the feature we paid for.mr.ergonomics wrote:couldn't care less. there are far far more important things for me. this is just a comfort function, imho there are a lot of essential features which are way more important and I need every 10 minutes when I'm using live. and keep on mind that one can exchange projects at the moment with the "normal" hassle every other daw has already.
big difference. it was announced as one of the major flagship features and many users had this as the biggest reason to upgrade/buy, me included.
we were simply ripped off.
but hey, we got a substandard amp suite. surely doesn't cover what we wanted but it covers something completely different!

even that, however, is still apples to oranges. they had promotional videos selling us all on how easy this would make sharing projects. and it was one of the flagship upgrades promised.
i love live8, and am very happy to have the upgrades that came with it. but i did not get what i paid for, and that is bad business. they should include the share feature on an update of live8! we shouldn't have to wait or pay for live9 to get this feature.
