Must be all these Ableton users and their linear automation...

Absolutely. Sequencers in the early days had some wicked automation curves.

I'm not sure, but I haven't had any firewire issues since 10.6.0, at all.

I haven't noticed any differences between 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 regarding Live and other audio related things. Also, my firewire hard drives and original MOTU 828 are working fine. If you don't have any software or hardware that has not yet been updated for it I'd go for 10.6.4.

To make the exact sound is always a bit tricky, but if you search for some tutorials on how to create a 'Reese' bass sound (there's plenty around), that at least will get you pretty close.

I'm pretty sure it's for Live 8 owners only, since the beta's don't expire anymore. Otherwise all users of previous versions could essentially upgrade to 8 for free.

If you have Reaktor 5 you can download the public beta version of Reaktor 5.5, which now has Electronic Instruments I & II included by default.

Edit: Sorry, missed the 'standalone' part... I shouldn't post this early in the morning

Not using the Dock either

You mean the .alp files that you can mail to Ableton? They are located in ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Bug Reporting for me.
