Ableton Live 8.2

[Sarrova-Q]

LOVE IT !!!

Ableton : Good Move !

Giving this away for Suite owners (and including presets for non-suite owners) is a generous and much appreciated action.
And I'm even more happy you chose softtube to work with <3


Thanks!

Softube are GODLIKE DSP TITANS.

Gonna have to try this.

About Amp - like other instruments and effects that come bundled with Suite, Amp is available as an effect for individual purchase. Live users have access to locked instrument racks which feature Amp, and provide a set of preset effects that should help you decide whether you're interested in purchasing Amp.

that's so cool. thank you. Let's see how cpu-hungry it is, if I get a decent sound with no more than 2-3%cpu-hit, then I will leave my line6-thingy at home on the next gig.

Anyone already tried it?

nice one.. thanks Ableton .. YOU (virtually) ROCK !

but the download is very slow for me...
(1.6Gb at 35Kb/s means I'll get it in 13 hours ! )

[FailedSitcom]

I'm getting 300+ KB/s.

Wait till you get to run it for the first time, the library update is taking ages, 1/2 an hour in, 30% complete!

And thanks for the new toy Ableton, but what happened to the "whole team working on bug hunting/fixing" thing? Is Live 8 now considered fixed?

no way. it still likes to crash and screw its own als files

I am glad to see an amp sim added to Live. They are useful for processing so many sounds - I love sticking synth pads through them to get a lovely just-breaking-up-amp-sound with the sustain that this can add.

Without trying it out it is hard to judge, but I don't think I would pay that much for it stand-alone. It certainly adds to the value of Suite, but surely an amp sim effect is now a standard feature for any DAW and should be in the standard Live package?

I'm a Live 7 user, and I'll probably wait waiting for Live 9 before upgrading because Live 8 offers nothing I really 'need', and not a lot I really want. I want M4L but I don't want to pay for Live 8 to get it.

I'm hoping Live 9 will be packed with things I 'need', and that will help me justify the upgrade. But now Ableton is adding to Suite what in my view is a standard DAW effect: so what will be added to Suite in the future, and what additional content will be addded to regular Live if things like a stadard DAW effect are being reserved for Suite?

On a seperate subject, I'm pleased that Ableton is still taking its time with bug fixing. I don't think this amp effect means that Live 9 is just around the corner!

...also the video on the 'amp' page is veeryy slow..

...also the video on the 'amp' page is veeryy slow..

No problems here, downloading at normal speeds, and watching the vid at the same time with no problems.
Hmm maybe I'm just lucky Hope it'll speed up for you.

btw I'm also impressed with the huge big-fixes list:

Working on the Bridge, throwing in a free plugin and still paying a lot of attention to bug fixes at the same time ...


That's why I love Ableton !

respect

sure,, a distortion plug in is extremly usefull in a program that cant sync to other musicans that run ableton aswell..

thanks god my stage partner is using cubase.. but the band wie play in 2 weeks together with has exactly the problem that the booth run ableton live..and cant sync.. so they dont and play anyway.. welcom to the wonder weard world of ableton live..
the program with the highest latency on the market now with an own amp simulation..

hope its better than logics one..otherwise it would be rather useless..
as useless as serato bridge.

but i see..abeton is after new markets..guitarists and dj´s. They feel safe on the electro side now and dont have to push extra effort in pleasing that all forgiving audience that in big parts are absolute beginners that dont really have needs beyond playing around with as much plugs as possible.

the quasi monopol on pattern sequencing of ableton is in a way really bad..

And i have to say it again.. i personally think its a skandal that ableton live is able to seemless sync to a dj timecode record before it can be propperly synced to another ableton instance..

That with the background that users request better sync for how many years now?

And they perform the stunt to realtime sync to a timecode record over night?

Thanks Ableton for beeing such a shit company.

First things first.. and first thing is to make money..

Nothing to say about that.. but year after year after year..

At which position of the money making cue comes the base functionality?

I didnt had the impression that you react to bug reports.. usually you have to start polls in the main forum to make you look into bugs..

The problem is that ableton almost allways declares clear bugs as standard operation.,,

the clock output glitches when selecting tracks or groups for example... it turns out that this only happens when the midi port that does the clock out is also used for remote functions..

so midi remote feedback on just selcting a track causes clock glitches.

Ableton statement ..that is normal !!

sorry man.. why is ther remote feedback when i select a track? just the track id? one liitle midi string?

acording to the midi standard that is not allowed to interrupt the realtime commands like clock pulses..

so this is clearly a bug when your program is not folowing the midi standard and one cant use remote and sync simultaniously on stage...

But.. because abletons life is easy.. thats no bug you will adress..

Not before i start another flamewar about that issue..

sorry.. the way you handle serious problems on the root of functionaloty is a scandal..

and your product only qualifies as a toy this way

[davepermen]

you have to flood the threads every time, 3phase, don't you? *hug*

Would be a nice theory if your last flamewar actually paid off.
You're still where you were about a year ago.
Want to explain again why you don't have the time to just walk to Ableton with your laptop, show your problem and get taken seriously?
Your last excuse was lack of time. Got a new one?

Beyond spamming the community, you achieved nothing so far.
There were off course the bugs that got fixed when you cooperated with support, but mentioning those probably doesn't work so well with your "Ableton not addressing bugs" theme.
