Should I hold off on installing Live 9?

[Citizen]

Seems like a lot of bugs and angry people on the forum here. I've DL'd live 9 - should I hold off on installing it until an update comes that fixes those bugs?

Don't mind waiting if it means avoiding a few headaches. But pretty keen to check out the MIDI conversion tools and the Max for Live devices

Thoughts?

Make a fresh set of bootable backups and try it out for yourself. You might like the new cool-aid : )

I've not had much chance to use 9 yet, but it has run as sweet as a nut while I have been using it.

All good points - I didn't really think of running them side by side! At least then I can go back to 8 if 9 starts annoying me.

No problem with disk space over here - I'm going to install all of the live packs - I want to hear what's in em! Actually looks like there is some pretty good content!

Approx. how long does it take to install Suite 9 + all the live packs? Oh, and obviously I should install Live 9 before Max For Live and the live Packs?

Overnight.

at least... when you consider download times as well.

working fine on my iMac.

I've found it to be more stable than 8 if anything.
very few problems

Rad, thanks guys.

Just want to minimise downtime as much as possible. I already spend enough time sorting out software issues.

Just do it.
