Ableton Forum

i wanted to add that the drive automatically powers up and down with my laptop using usb2, which seems like a good feature to insure proper power up/shut down. when using firewire i am forced to do that manually. so, i guess, that's what started me thinking about using usb2...

thanks for the help.

i just bought a lacie external with firewire and usb. i use a p4 windows xp laptop. i'm looking for a definitive answer as to which connection is best. i know that firewire uses less cpu overhead to prepare transfers, so to me this should make it the choice, but everytime i go to a different website...

hi i'm not sure if this has been asked before...my search came up with nothing. anyway, is it possible to record directly to a memory card (sd, compact flash, etc). my laptop has a reader built in and it seems like this would be much faster and efficent than the 4200 rpm hard drive. i can pick up a ...

ableton has contacted me. i can unluck my software again. yesterday was a bad day. right after my last post, my m-audio firewire 410 blew up. i have no interface now. i heard a pop when i shut my computer down and now no electric. i wonder why the universe is out to get me. thank you for listening.

so...this is what i have to look foward to if i could actually use the software i bought (see unlock nightmare post).
i'm sorry you're going through this, man.
ableton is a very bad company.
thanks monolake

i hope you do not consider me to be a "drunk villian". i am an unsatisfied customer. $400 is alot of money. i expect to use the product i bought. i expect to be able to perform systm changes as i feel appropriate without allowing ableton to decide for me what can and can't be done without ...

i don't know why i'm writing this. i just need to blow off some steam. i can not believe i just spent $400 on software i can not use at the moment. i tried to set my computer up to dual boot with windows and linux. i messed up a few things and reinstalled both os a few times. now i am told that i ca...
