Ableton & Serato Announce...And it's FREE!
Re: Ableton & Serato Announce...And it's FREE!
edit - answered my own question about the Serato approved hardware acts as a dongle.
it's not so much that, it's that I can't use what I already have.

I was curious how the two programs compare.Hidden Driveways wrote:You're starting to sound like one of those people who go out of their way to bash Apple computers, because deep down inside you know you really want one...beats me wrote: Would I invest in DJ specific software that is inferior in many ways to Traktor so I can use session view in it? Fuck no.

Yeah I can bash with the best of them, but I think this was a big surprise/disappointment to a lot of people, especially considering development time from announcement to release. This probably would have gone over a lot better if they just magically released it with no pre collaboration announcement, a big pleasant surprise. Announcing this a long time ago made a lot of people speculate and dream up ideas and I'm pretty positive nobody was hoping for this end result. Take a cue from Apple, don't talk about something until it's already done.Hidden Driveways wrote:You're starting to sound like one of those people who go out of their way to bash Apple computers, because deep down inside you know you really want one...beats me wrote: Would I invest in DJ specific software that is inferior in many ways to Traktor so I can use session view in it?

M4L is the balls YO! However most of the time I make devices I think, why didn't Ableton make this device YEARS ago. DUH!
Re: Ableton & Serato Announce...And it's FREE!
So i guess this means my hopes of a motorized jog wheel that attaches to my apc40 where the rubber sides currently are (so that i can get vinyl style control of my clips using serato WITHIN Ableton) isn't going to happen eh?
any way i slice it it's more $$ out of my pocket - only now I'm not sure whose getting the $$ (MAX, Ms. Pinky, Ableton, Serato, Traktor, Vestax, Numark, EKS, or Other).
What gives?! Wasn't NAMM 2010 supposed to be awesome?!
Now i just feel like the kid who got shafted on christmas morning after praying real hard to baby jesus to grant my wishes.
Bad. Bad baby jesus!

I wonder why they haven't come up with a NI-collaboration... I mean they are both located in Berlin
The CEOs don't like each other, I suppose.

especially because i don't get a certain rival people put into those two companies, i mean the make totally different products...
ableton is not in the plugin / instrument market and NI not in the sequencer market, and a traktor / ableton collab would have been much better in my eyes.

Re: Ableton & Serato Announce...And it's FREE!
Go figure...
Ableton HQ - NI HQ = 5km walking distance (even less if you pick the Schillingbrücke )
Ableton HQ - Serato NZ = 17.747 km distance by plane
That should be a lot of money if you need to travel that distance... but I understand Ableton because NZ should be worth a visit or two. Plus they might be afraid of losing jobs if they collaborate with NI. They should avoid that step unless they are in big trouble...
