live 7 was unusable for me at the first half year, same with 8. just getting usable now.dextroc wrote:@d-track: it's already in beta, it's just not public. I doubt that there will even be a public beta because m4l is just that kind of software. no need to drown the real problems, tested by people who know what they're doing, in a sea of problems from people that have no idea how max even works to begin with. I mean, I'd think max5 was real buggy if I didn't know how it worked. There's always some little thing you forget to do that the max-noob could think was a bug.
So, it's been in beta for some weeks now (I recall some "not supposed to brag about this" posts on the forum earlier). I think it's just around the corner and not as unstable as you might think. The cycling'74 team is pretty solid (you may notice that bug fixes and updates in max have been pretty far apart in the past) and I trust they've worked very well with the Abes on this one.
Maybe it's just childish optimism, but I think and hope we'll be getting a solid program from the start. Maybe it'll need a few bugfixes, but nothing major.
my two cents...
ive been using live for years and max/jitter for about 2 years.
i know what to expect... when these two serialbuggers cooperate = live bugs multiplied by max bugs.
follow me!
its paradise!
