Ableton Forum

Hi all! Well my band is really rocking these days, and I need some sort of PA for myself in the band. The band lineup is keys, drums, bass, vox and me doing electro stuff (beat triggering, playing synth) and processed guitar. I was thinking it would be good to have some sort of PA which i can use in...

yes, that default-to-motu thing would be great for me too. I'm sure a lot of laptoppers are in the same boat... use the 'bigger' hardware and occasionlly just need to quickly fiddle with something.

yeah, please tell me this is so!

ableton, I do hope this is coming soon, we've wanted it for so long and it solves many many problems (like complex time signatures etc)

thanks
