Heh.

Have you seen Tom Cosm creating porno music on Ableton? Here's the link:

BTW, he's an excellent Ableton instructor.

I found videos by Ski Oakenfull where he deconstructs popular songs. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdeNqQba3GE&list=PLF884CC3C81838288 This kind of thing is very helpful and inspiring. I stayed up to 1:30 last night nicking ideas from these videos. Fun and time flew by! Does anyone...

Yep, but theres's also people who use the arrangement view extensively. I use both, for very different tasks. The new features are really great for the session view. But the arrangement has just went backward. Uh-oh! I've just been watching videos of session view and presumed that similar improveme...

Yes, they added some features to W8. But in recent years, they removed aero, removed "copy and keep both files", reduced the number of immediately available power plans to 2, removed the start button, hid the power button, removed the up button in explorer (now returned in W8), hid and/or...

Is there a video that shows ALL the new features and improvements, but without marketing nonsense?

I want to use the mouse more! I wish you could call up a dialogue box that would allow you to add menu items to the right-click menu. Great for useful newly learned things like paste time. Also, I wish the mouse wheel would scroll every scrollable area without having to click first.

And it's not like they've taken anything away. By way of contrast, Microsoft has gotten into the bad habit of deleting features in its products, over-simplifying, making the Windows desktop into a smartphone desktop, etc. Crazy crappiness to the max. Ableton on the other hand are just adding great ...

It's hard to complain about the pricing. Ableton have added a large number of profound improvements. Just the browser and midi editor improvements would make the upgrade worth it, but they've added many more than that - EQ spectrum and pole listening, convert audio to midi, M4L, record automation in...

Definitely agree.

Not really sure what you mean, you can colour code things how you like them. Always have been able to. What's so special about drums? funken, Look forward to your videos. In Live 8, if you go to preferences > Look Feel > Skin, then change the skin to e.g. Dark Grey, Dark Blue, Midnight, or Tobacco,...

Thanks, I wish it had better eye candy. I like glowing alien things like the computers in Smallville and Chuck. Inspires me. Of course, it's bad for the eyes, so only good for a short time. They should make the midi editor shading user-adjustable. But I'm glad they have done something. It will be mu...

I watched to Tom Cosm video about Live 9. Wow! Each of the improvements alone look worth the upgrade. Much better browser, easier previewing of sounds, M4L in Suite, converting audio to midi, clearer marking of bars in the midi editor, EQ with spectrum analyser overlaid, etc. All of that will mean a...

Re backup/Time Machine: Someone said you can't backup individual files with Windows. I haven't used it, but in W7 help it says, " To restore a file from a backup, make sure the media or drive that your backup is saved on is available and then follow these steps…" Re GUI: W7 is perfectly f...

Ableton website is now the worst DAW website on the planet. If I tried to make a worse website, I could not do it.

Of course, Windows has hourly backup. Don't forget that it's the main business system in the world. Hit the windows key or the start button and type backup and the first item up should be "Backup and restore". Click it or hit enter and then follow the instructions. It does full system back...
