A dark theme, this is the only page I visit where a blast of white burns my eyes.

PLEASE, for the love of "god"!

Am I lame or something but I can't seem to find a Dark Mode setting for this forum.
My eyes burn while trying to read the topics as everything on my system is Dark, even Ableton.
Help.

Sounds like you need to move on then...

I'd like to see them adapt a workflow for Arrange view on the Push. That's a major neglected area that Ableton hasn't addressed for some odd reason...

+1 here too. Look at Tracktions Waveform chord track and functions. Max is embedded now, should be easy peasy...

Printed books make no sense anymore, nor libraries...

I know there are lots of improvements - just not 189 quid of improvements

it's not their fault - nobody buys music software any more because:

ii) it's easy to make music like everyone ...

The question really is, are YOU ready for prime time...

I do have quite a bit of experience ...

If you spend the majority of your time producing in Live then Push is a must. One of the best integration's of hardware and software going.

Maschine I never got along with and having a funky, crippled second hand sequencer is redundant...

Well said. I wonder what percentage of Live users actually use stupid freaking Push. Anyone know? Can't be a lot. I wish Ableton would abandon it already and focus on software. They seriously are like a car company that's selling fancy rims while the car is missing wheels. Live still has major ...
