Thanks so much for this - I think this is exactly what I needed to know. I'm so glad you've just posted this as I literally, 30 minutes ago, placed an order for a MOTU 828... so I'll be trying this for the first time at the weekend!!

Hi,

I was recently given an MAudio MIDI keyboard, which came with Ableton Live Lite. I'm very impressed and think that upgrading to the full version could be well worth my while. However, before I do this I'd need a new computer, mainly because I've installed Lite on my work laptop! (and I need my ...
