Re: Ableton 25% Sale - Start the conspiracies!

I figure Live 9 will be announced by NAMM. I'll wait this one out. I'm okay on Live 7 right now. I'm with you now, 921. After the initial excitement of the discount, I took a chill pill and realized: a) I've got Suite covered already with a bunch of other 3rd party plugins I hardly use, so getting ...

Re: Ableton 25% Sale - Start the conspiracies!

Why would they repeat the same mistake twice? make no mistake that this possible mistake may have been mistakenly mistook as a "Mistake", but if it's indeed a mistake...that's one helluva mistake that they are now telling us we need to stop using mixtapes and rather start making mixtapes ...

Re: Ableton 25% Sale - Start the conspiracies!

Uh oh, decision time! Still on Live 7 here (non-Suite version), but that upgrade price to v8 Suite is just way too tempting! So...buy this now, wait until January 14th (in the event v9 goes into beta and can get it for Free when you purchase v8)...or just pony up for Live 9 when it comes out? As luc...

ummm...If I'm not mistaken....iCloud requires you to be running Lioness if you want to use it full on. not everyone has 2 macs...but if anyone would be willing to donate theirs here, I just might take you up on that offer. ;) still on 7 here too, but with what happened to 8...ain't touchin' it with ...

Re: An apple fanboys tale of woe [long rant and OT]

sorry....haven't read the whole thread, but you could always tell Apple folks when they tell you it will cost THAT much...."no kidding...I could buy a new PC for that! Not to mention...I would never shop Apple again!!"....and see what they say. Even Apple folks need to play that game. Let'...

Re: Zebra or Twin

Twin is awesome - got it on the Mac Promo deal....a crazy amount of presets and finding it very versatile....more versatile than anything I've got as far as non-sampled synths. Waiting for a sale on Zebra...I don't "need" it....tried a demo of it quite some time ago and never liked the dem...

USB3 might be on the way as a standard but it will take at least 2-3 years before it's a viable standard with functioning hardware and drivers that are stable. Hell, many USB interfaces are still running at USB 1.1 even though USB 2 has been around for donkey's years. If you only need a couple of I...

macro - right now am using a desktop (see specs in my sig), but a couple of main reasons why I'm going to replace it with a new lappie: a) I need a backup laptop for business - in case my Thinkpad T42 craps out; I'm really worried since this one is getting old and if it craps out 2 days before I got...
