Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
My friend even spelled it as "Appleton". That's a city in Wisconsin, not a music production program...

Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
Able Ten. or Able Ton.
That's how I say it at least, I think it's funny when people mispronounce it.

Re:
It's able (as in "able") ton (as in "shit dude, did you just get your TON-gue stuck to that lamppost?") as far as I'm awaretokyojoe69 wrote:I had a dude try to tell me it was abe-lee-ton. I found it so strange that I decided not to argue with him.
nik-eee or nike?
Nike is pronounced nik-eee (although noone ever says it like that), and it's not a tick it's a swoosh (nike have serious branding issues, you should see the faces when the nike guy yelled at someone for calling it a tick when I used to work at a sports shop, "swoosh? what the fu** is a swoosh?!" (we had nike branding guys come in to tell us how to sell their shite))
Some stuff, and some other stuff. Honest.

Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
On the subject of pronunciation. . .
Am I the only one who thinks that pronouncing GUI as Gooey is f*cking retarded.
Scuzzy / SCSC I can live with and sounds ok. Gooey sounds stupid.
I move for G. U. I. to be adopted amongst right thinking audio heads.
if we build it, they will come!
Ha ha

I slipped into a daze, whilst I was there I heard the most startling music, it was at once familiar and alien, reassuring and unsettling.

Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
I'd say Able - Ton.. Also, I'd pronounce my home state as Ne - Va - Da.. Though most here say Ne - Vad - A..
Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
I just pronounce it "bugs guh-lore".

Gotta admit that I always refer to SQL Server as Sequel Server, as does every other person I know in my profession (I'm a .net/web/database developer). It's a contraction, an abbreviation - 2 syllables is less than 3...Ed J wrote: but it's where near as bad as "Microsoft Sequel Server" . . . It's CALLED FUCKING ESS QUEUE ELL! SQL....
If you don't like abbreviation/contraction, maybe you should be referring to Structured Query Language Server!
Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
Yup, I was always taught SQL is pronounced as Sequel, too... though that was many, many years ago... I have a 2009 book which says that there are still two schools of thought: most official documentation says to pronounce it as "Ess-Queue-Ell", but that many people pronounce it as Sequel.ollyb303 wrote:Gotta admit that I always refer to SQL Server as Sequel Server, as does every other person I know in my profession (I'm a .net/web/database developer).

Re: How is ABLETON pronounced?
its pronounced how it flipping written ABLE TON!
Its not rocket science. You pronounce those two words as they are said in the real world and then put them together. If another person say Ablutun or Ableytun or Aybulltun to me i will castrate them with their own veins

Re:
They should bring out an introductory version and call it "Simpleton Live"Machinate wrote:because the company isn't called Live....
From hanging around the office in Berlin I can tell you that the pronunciation there is
Able - as in "Being able to..."
...and:
-Ton - as in "simpleton", "Anderton" etc. In other words the flat "o", somewhere between "o" and "eh". The o is a bit like the "uh" in "duh".

People that worked on databases when sequel was a new technology call it sequel.
