Ableton Forum

Live looks like something made in Max/MSP...still...... I wouldn't call that modern, more like about 15 years old. Well, this exactly is modern about Ableton -- as every other product tries to emulate shiny real-looking surfaces complete with shadows and other gimmicks... not realising that these s...

.i repeat that i cannot imagine anyone from any walk of life not having an incredible time there but in my experience there was indeed a lot of magic happening out there too. Some of us don't care for that kind of thing, that's all. I do not enjoy tribal events of any kind, period. I don't like fee...

They're so wannabe avant-garde, and it's their titilating little secret, you know? Their only interest in electronic music is that it's an opportunity to do some drugs when they go out partying, and pick up some tattooed chicks. Essentially, they're both a couple of notorious consumerist, mysoginis...

The Playa.... :roll: I cannot stand that name, fucking drives me nuts. It is so entirely white bread trying to be cool. I live in seattle and my neighborhood is filled with people who worship Burning Man the same way dead heads used to try to convince anyone who talks to them for more than ten secon...

So use Logic. Liveès interface is refreshingly easy to use and modern compared to all that fake console stuff. Disagree completely. First off, the GUI isn't the application, while I too also think Logic is easier on the eyes, and better in some ways, Logic does not have a Session View, so for what ...

One thing to keep in mind is how little the powerbooks depreciate in value, and personlly I don't bellieve that the intelmacs next year will affect that. Reasons why? well outside of gamers, audio, and video producers are the last people who really care about speed any more. Most people are happy wi...

Is my new god!
Reactor 5 from 80% to 5%, plus the ability to rearrange the frozen clips....

Just wanted to add a little cheerleading to my usual consistent complaining about key commands and the lack of one for the browser.

I'm sold on the X-Station. I'll probably get Trigger Finger as well, a friend loaned me an AKAI MPD16, and it's really nice, the software is not so good though, and the Trigger Finger has even more sliders and knobs! For keyboard controllers though, it's hard to beat the X-Station, aftertouch, bulit...

There thank's I almost feel "better" already :roll: . That's cool, but I tend to think that because I can't do dick about cancer, AIDS, war, obesity, etc. maybe I can just get Abelton to render all tracks to separate audio files, and give me a MIDI/key command for opening and closing the ...

In my ignorance, I find people wishing for a Linux Live about as irritating as those complaining that Live isn't 64 bit yet. Only 10 years ago all I had was a tascam casette 4 track. If lack of Linux or 64 bit is holding you back, maybe your music is just too advanced for humanity as we know it. :t...

Until then, I think that using linux for audio is a fool's errand. Support for any high-end audio hardware is going to be sketchy at best, and the same can be said of other music hardware such as MIDI devices and whatnot. you definitely have to make your purchases based on available drivers, but th...

I can guarantee you Brian Eno managed to be successful without Linux. I can guarantee you as well that Brian Eno wouldn't be half as famous as he is if he wasn't in fact a techie geek. I wasn't commenting on whether or not Linux was going to make or break any of our music making etc. but on your il...

Either you are an artist in some form or another, or your are a techie nerd. Black and white thinking....... So Brian Eno for example....... I could go on, ther are far too many artist/techie nerds out there making interesting music, and programing their own software etc.... The major advantage of ...

On the other hand...I really cant stand apples marketing...its just awful. also, will the intel macs be able to run pc apps? I know this has been widely discussed on various forums but all the threads were like 10 pages long. short answer? I agree about the marketing, but I can't name ANY marketing...

For every time I use XPs file browser I use Live/Reasons browser 100 times. Live/Reasons browser is not platform specific right? Right, and actually they suffer for it, Live's browser is akin to win98 in structure..... again, what about people like me who simply: 1. turn on their comp 2. open an au...
