Hello. I'm an Acid User also... I adopted Live 6 months ago, and I still use both softs intensively. Live did not replace ACID as I would have thought...

The learning curve for Live is really inexistent... Spend 3 hours looking at the tutorials, and you'll be able to work with it.

Great trick ! It works and solves all my problems ! Eternal thanks !

Please give us the possibility NOT TO USE Rewire. I just want to use Live and other software simultaneously WITHOUT ANY LINK BETWEEN THEM.

Should not be so difficult to do...

For me the V4 changed the way I worked with Live : I just launch impulse, load a few samples in it and start playing with a rhythm. Then the ideas usually come easily. With Impulse and Sampler included, Live has replaced my groovebox, which was my main "sketchpad" before. The result : doze...

Thanks a lot for this suggestion... I'll try it !

(no time stretch, no effect, just play the sample). I cannot find any clear answer to this (maybe ridiculous) question Th...

Hello. This is my problem : I play mainly in bars and clubs, and Live is at the centre of my config. I work a lot on ergonomy and interaction, and I try to keep the same rules between my sets. Each time I have a new idea about how to improve the way I interact with Live with my control surface or th...

An extension of the previous idea, i think : With the V4, I will certainly do things like : program a few kick patterns on one track, a few hihats patterns on another track, and a few snare patterns on another, and then let them play randomly together with the jamming function. This means that my dr...

The only workaround I have found is not very funny : I 've put a version of all my sets on Acid, and I alternate between the two softs... each one directed to a different audio output of my soundcard. I would really like to be able to do my concerts with Live only. Let me dream : When I want to play...

Same for me : I still use Acid because it displays the keys of the samples... This is a feature I would love to see in Live 4.
