The dot. The orange dot. The fucking orange dot. That thing that turned live into a fucking mess for me.
Some people are happy with it. It really depends on the use you make of live.

More important than the color of the dot is what it does. What does it do? What is it susposed to do? If it really depends on the use I make of Live which use will effect me?

I'm still using 4. I'm happy with it. The only thing I'm really looking forward to in 5 is the fact that it saves individule tracks. The other stuff while cool is just a bonus.

what it does ? fuck things up
What is it suposed to do? fuck knows. Even Ableton hasn't been able to answer this one.

which use will affect me? warping, changing order of scenes, copy/paste clips, capture and insert scenes, stop clips. If you're used to do that in L4 you're in for a brand new world in L5. A world of confusion and cursing

Still using 4.1.4, never trusted Ableton for a stable 5 before long.


I will upgrade with the next release, but will evaluate stability before using it for real.

Except for PDC, V5 hasn`t solved my issues much, (access to the 128 first parameters only for VST`s, and auto-oscillationg parameters in VST`s that messes the undo).


The added features of V5 are cool, hope they will produce a rock solid version soon.


I think they where due for V4.5 with PDC and fulll VST compatibility, and debug the new stuff for V5. But no, they went for the money.


Still, Live 4 is the best tool available for me....

I forgot to mention triggering clips in legato mode is great fun now, thanks to the FODot

I upgraded to 5 but Sampletank 2 crashes Live after a few minutes, so I can't use it.

I use live 4.0.4 for old stuff, and Project 5 for new stuff requiring freeze, delay compensation, and use of Sampletank 1 and 2.

Still with 4.0.3.

I bought the upgrade, but am still using a set created in 4 in a show.

Waiting until 5 is more stable.
