It's a decent piece of software but I seriously must object to you people looking to the Live manual for the answer to ALL your questions! ;)

Can't we just give & take advice and help each other out with Live here?

I'm fairly new to this, but that's what I thought this forum was all about.

Philosophize, bullshit, flame elsewhere. Surely there are appropriate places for it.

A notice about what's inside us: I would say that there could never be a "Hitler" kind of type if there was not a culture, society, an environment that breeded him. A.H. on an isolated island is pathetic. And regarding him, strong forces in the society imagined they could benefit from keeping him going and than maybe get rid of him. They were mistaken. So by cultivating the culture, we all invest in what might emerge. And how we are coming to deal with "them" as they enter.

Hm, philosophy cap off now, have to feed the children.

Perhaps the original question should be a sticky in every thread?
The ends tend to hang loose.
BTW: 42, yes. I heard about a person that felt he know it all about the whole existence when using a drug but he could not remenber what it was later. Well, a phychologist i think talked him into doing a session where he could get his insight taped. OK, it felt OK, he taped his visions during the drug influence. Coming back to reality the recorder had captured his all-about-everything truth as: "In the whole universe there is a scent of gasoline".

But I'll bite anyway: Look in the box that comes with the product or upgrade. That's where I found my copy. And it also appears to be until the Help manual as "Read the Live manual..."

Hope that helps.

So when someone says "rofl" does that mean they are really rolling around on the floor because they are laughing so hard? If someone is "lmfao" has their ass really fallen off because they are laughing so much? Is a person really being rude if they say "rtfm"?

Half of the fun of the forums are the rude comments and sarcasm. You have to pay for your free advise somehow, there's no such thing as a free lunch! So if that means having to endure a bit of chiding, ridicule, harassment and downright rudeness, then that's what it costs, and I'm all for it! It builds your character and gives you a few laughs along the way. STOP BEING SO EASILY OFFENDED! Life will be more fun.

As the cow guru said to the cow disciple, "As you walk along the roads of life, cow disciple, don't forget to stop and eat the roses along the way!"
