Ableton Live complaints

Post by atlatnesiti » Fri Oct 12, 2012 7:56 am

Hi there,
I don't post very often here, because I'm busy producing tracks with Live ;)
All I see recently are complaints against Live :(
Why?!
Live is a excellent DAW now and you can produce with it anything you want.
Prime example of that is Rheyne.

Please be more mindful b4 posting crap ;)

negative survival bias

people rarely come to sites to say how well things are going for obvious reasons

well i for one am pissed. :x

every time i imagine a really cool track Live somehow finds a way to stop me. just the other day i could have made an awesome track if Live had dual monitor support. a couple of months ago i completely lost the ability to make a 4/4 track because of Live not having 64 bit code. the worst void of all is the hundreds of top 10 hits i could have made with bezier curves, i mean c'mon! how can i make music with all these limitations?

I don't understand why they can't support multimonitors either. Maybe it's intended for laptop/live use only...

and yeah Dual monitors is elementary in the land of making music.... Ableton is way behind , also 64 bit is still beta!

And the way they just rub it in our face, too, with the clip fade envelopes! I'm not just unable to make music with Live – I refuse!

All right, all right. Quip fail. I forgot an essential word in there. I was referring to the clip FADE envelopes. :oops:

Either way: I would now like to complain that it takes a 45 second video to explain a 12 second process. I can only spare up to 20 seconds of video per 10 seconds of process.

that's pretty awesome how you copied and pasted a copied and pasted image about copying and pasting in Live.

is there a three copy and paste limit on that like the one on the embed of the quotes on the forum?

You mean recording automation and the 12 second process of pasting it into clips as shown in my tutorial Getting automation from Arrange View into clips in Session View and demonstrated in the 45 second video in that?

though its a good suggestion for studio use, im sure even ableton would say this is not a fix but a pain in the ass work around especially for a live musician.
@ the o.p., the reason people bitch about live is mostly because THEY ACTUALLY LIKE IT AND WANT IT TO BECOME BETTER!
ableton would not be taking so long to release a new version if they felt live wasn't lacking in area's.

fuck you ableton

the lack of a "make my music good" button is holding me back.
