...yes...it's like a "live/jam" version logic...you can also record what you're playin but only as a stereo file...

...no...you could use it alongside live to play it's instruments though...

...awesome...thanks for this advice! ...right now i only need one stereo pair in & one stereo pair out so i'll disable all the other channels! coming from mainstage and maschine it's astonishing how cpu friendly ableton (with mashine as an au plugin and various komplete instruments) is...i'm mor...

thanks for your Input!

...not really on a sample basis but check out "rolodecks" by twistedtools...that's a reaktor Instrument...

...there's also a m4l Instrument that does this...can't recall the Name right now...

...thanks for your quick reply!
...that's what i thought...i'm absolutely new to ableton live and just want it to be installed correctly...
thanks again
