If Apple bought Ableton that would be the day to go find different music software...

But I find it hard to believe that the folk at Ableton could treat their long-term loyal Windows customers so badly. Everyone knows how Apple treated Logic PC users, and I just can't see Ableton would condemn their Windows customers to being treated with the same disregard. It would be a such a betrayal, and I hope that somebody from Ableton could quickly dismiss this rumour and reassure us that it is not happening.

They don't need to buy your company to shut it down at least partly :) .

hehe, no Apple will not buy Ableton

but Apple bribed Abelton to use roman numerals for the upcoming version of Live!

So no Live 9, but Live IX

What everybody would read as Live iX and thinking it would run only on a Mac would rush to by one 8)

If any company I would want Live bought by would be Cubase (Yamaha) whatever :) because that Steinberg audio engine is hard to beat but the workflow is sooo 2000 they need a redo :lol:

Wow, since Redmatica is a subsidiary of Ableton, it's only a matter of time before the big announcement is made official!!
