Ableton Forum

And the NWA track hardly invades PFunks share of the marketplace... Besides, whatever happened to statute of limitation? The NWA track is like a gazillion years old! If the lawsuit had been 10(?) years ago, I might have felt differently about it... The interesting part about that to me is George Cl...

(highjack # 3877685894 ) I will upgrade from 2.72 if, and when, I hear that they've sorted out dual cpu use, get plug in delay compensation, and get some features that Logic does not have. Honestly if they could get even half the cpu use that Logic has, then it would be a great app. I like Logic a l...

the mac improvements were NOT Altivec or G4 specific. Ableton has pretty much stated that because of the way it works, Live wouldn't be that improved by Altivec, but they might try it in the future. I wouldn't get an imac and expect a major improvement. Maybe a single 1.8, or a dual 2 or 2.5, but re...

Maybe I just never gave OSX a chance. As a reverse switcher I have negative feelings towards OSX. For me it just meant have a slower OS, all my apps and plugs got messed up. I used to use Digital Performer in the version 2 and 3 days and loved it, then OSX and DP4 hit and my performance just SPIRAL...

machines...i know i know. sorry for "bashing". I guess it just comes down to the apps we choose and what we expect out of a computer. The only difference to me is the price/ performance ratio. Its a shame though, my partner and I were perfectly satisfied using macs in the OS9 DP 2 and 3 d...

Just to let you know futureproof, I use a mac because I use programs that are mac only, (Logic, Digital performer, Pluggo, Zebra, and ton of free AUs) Live 4 is one of the few cross platform apps I own. I also happen to like the OS better, personal choice I know, but I can't stand XPs graphics, or w...

What I did was upgrade to a 5400 rpm drive for my powerbook 800mhz model, and put the 4200rpm it came with, in a firewire case, the small HD's don't require extra juice, so you could use it on a plane. Two distinct advantages to the smaller drives with Live, size and portability. That and you have t...

Hey SMPTE is great, so is bars/beats, but why no hours minutes seconds display? Could really use that when jamming out a song.

Really? 10-20% free space, hunh? Mine is an internal 7200 rpm 60 gb drive, and I've got right around 5 GB left. It's getting full quick. It'll be hard to free up space b/c I do some of my production work on the road, and all my samples are on the internal drive. I know I could transfer them to an e...

No problems with NI stuff here, EXCEPT when I insert a new NI instrument while the song is running. This crashes Live 4 about half the time. Reactor is almost guaranteed to crash Live if I try opening an instance of it while Live is playing.

I'm not sure why, but when an Ableton sponsored electronic event rolled through town a while ago 9 out of ten laptops were powerbooks. I think a lot of people doing powerbook jamming with Live are using Max/MSP or Pluggo along with it. The whole cut and paste app with the cut and paste plugs, and co...

There goes any chance of any real discussion about politics etc.. Dude! NEVER bring your belief in UFO's into a political debate, unless of course you WANT people to think you're a nut job? It just reminds me of how unorganized and stoned out of their minds the left has become, it's no wonder the ri...

OK this one is driving me bananas already.... Drag and drop audio files from the finder, PLEASE! :cry: I want to be able to search my hard drives with the finder, and once I've found the files I was looking for I don't want to have to find them again with Lives windoz browser! Apologies to windows p...

Right now I'm using Logic for basic song creation, then taking audio into Live for arranging and performance. Live allows for multiple controllers and soft synths to be used, Logic does not. Logic will get plug in delay compensation before Live does though, a consideration if you're buying a powerco...

I've for a 3.2ghz P4 HT alongside a Dual 2 G5 and the P4 is marginally faster. But and it's a big but. With an app that's optimised for the G5 it's a different story. With Logic 6 I can run around a hundred busses, audio tracks with a dozen hungry synths and the meter never goes over 20%. On the PC...
