No default groove setting in Live 8???!?!

Really? You have to be kidding me. I mean, the groove pool is great and all, but why would you disable such fundamental functionality from previous versions that was, frankly, essential to actually performing "LIVE"? All the groove amount controls and whatnot are great, but it is unaccepta...

popslut is right; ableton has needed an improved automation breakpoint entry system for years and there should be no need to create a midi control workaround for this relatively simple task. a breakpoint right-click 'enter numeric value' context-menu option (as in <blargh> acid pro) would work just ...

the dual firewire ports are meant to allow daisy-chaining *any* other firewire device along the same bus - this is standard with almost all firewire soundcards.

so far my ultralite has performed flawlessy as a soundcard - excellent preamps, incredible definition and detail, solid playback... however, i have been experiencing issues when copying files via the firewire bus (even when i'm not using the ultralite as a soundcard): halfway through a transfer, the...

SHEN 'Outlines' - full-length album available now...

greetings fellow abletonians - please excuse the shameless self-pluggery that follows below... it's a bit of a divergence from my techno-centric output that most would probably know me for, but my new downtempo/IDM full-length as SHEN is available now on native state records ... the entire album was...

32nd note record quantization!!

i love live. always have, always will. but for the life of me, i cannot understand why the record quantization only goes up to 16th-triplets!! sure, i know there's "workarounds" (ie, record w/no quantize and then hit ctrl+U) - but that's of absolutely no use during an actual live performan...

M. Bréqs, you make some excellent points here. i suppose that where our views differ is that i believe the consumer does still have some (rarely used) clout in the capitalist marketplace... it's not a matter of saying "we won't buy environmentally dangerous computers" (a pipe dream indeed)...

If there's such a thing as a "socially conscious" computer, I don't know of it. They're all nasty. fair enough, but what are you suggesting? that we remain completely apathetic and continue to allow these companies to produce nasty machines that we'll all still buy and use? why not at lea...

dang - thanks for the info... i can't pretend i'm not disappointed about this oversight, but i'm sure the other new features in version 6 will more than make up for it... add full mp3 functionality to the list for the next version, i guess!! :wink: in the meantime, i hope those mp3 autowarping start...
