like the new forum now.
are you talking about the leading? i think it's well done. Futura wouldn't be my choice for body text, but for smallish amounts of text you can get away with it.OzWozEre wrote:FFS

"Leading" heh. In CSS it's the property line-height, but I'm old enough that when I was at college I was tought to typeset using actual strips of lead. We actually had upper cases and lower cases too. Cases. Full of backwards letters.
I am from the fucking PAST !

1. Yes, we do read this thread. I do, at least, and I know at least one developer does too. I've been following it since Thursday. We haven't replied because we were afraid of “feeding the trolls”, but yesterday we had a chat with David and now we're a little more sure of where we stand with regards to that.
2. The launch wasn't rushed; it was planned for Thursday the 25th and it happened on Thursday the 25th. Although to be honest we launched about 10 minutes early because somebody on twitter found our preview address.
3. Nobody asked, but in case you wonder — the leak wasn't intentional either, our poor hard-working video team was working on the weekend uploading all those videos for the launch and missed one privacy drop-down thingie.
4. Apart from this thread, I have also kept a twitter search for “ableton site” since Thursday, and you might be surprised to learn the feedback we got was overwhelmingly positive. As in, there were exactly two negative tweets that did not originate from the forum.
5. And yes, we did fix a couple of things because of input from here, so it goes to show that constructive, non-trolling feedback remains welcome.
6. Yes, the logo is supposed to be the clip and arrangement view. Some claim that is a little less clear with the new version, but it does look a lot cleaner and streamlined.
7. Bologna comes in round slices, and spam has rounded corners, which is another element we took out. I think more of corned beef, I guess. Although on my monitor at least the beige is a little less pink than any of those. If you have been eating bologna this dark, you should see a doctor ASAP. I think the talk about “tan” was more on the spot.
naa it's all good, mate! the site is tasty! hehelalomartins wrote:Here's a few answers, to make the fact-inclined happy. (The ones who don't care about facts are not my problem.)

<- What he said. Most of this talk here is just for entertainment and community chit chat. Might as well be a Lounge thread to me. In the whole picture it means zero compared to what Live means to us.Valyo wrote:naa it's all good, mate! the site is tasty! heheI personally like the new branding quite a lot! good job!
I agree with this. Upon visiting the new site, the first thing that I visited was my account info, and was really turned off by the design. It's not intuitive, and looks like it was designed for teens, not professionals.Angstrom wrote:however snazzy the design might seem to some people, if I need to authorise a pack I do not want to see this sort of thing. I want a web application which inspires confidence.
