I switched to Logic years ago. I didn’t realize I should have marked the occasion with a scathing post to Ableton. I suppose I was under the assumption that there were still users who enjoyed using Live. I now realize I should have informed them they were lying to themselves based on my experience ...

true - octatrack marketing was as really really awesome.

a shame that they didnt continue the story

couple of new things on the table. totally in love with the MFB-522 - lovely sounding drum machine

Macbook Pro Late2011 (2.2ghz I7 / 16GB 1600mhz ram)
OS X 10.7.5
Live suite 9.1.1 32bit
latest M4L
MOTU Ultralite

a lot of plugins/some outboard gear also hooked up
