What version of live are you using?

Post by tkarmakid » Mon Mar 25, 2013 2:28 am

I am using live 8. I would like to upgrade, but at the same time I am unsure. I started with version 7 and was mostly using it for audio recording but I could never quite get my midi controller to function properly. I chalked it up to my old computer not being powerful enough to run it. I really liked live, so when I finally got a better computer I bought live 8 and the midi worked fine. A lot of people were experiencing problems with it, but I never had any major issues with it.
For those out there who haven't upgraded, what versions are you using?

I have 8 but stopped using it in favor of Logic about a year or so ago. I switched mainly because my mixes always sounded flat in Live. Don’t need to get into how or why, or if it’s a common problem. It was my problem.

Sounds like 9 is comparatively more stable than when 8 first came out but there’s still plenty to be complained about over in the Music and Audio Production forum. Again, less complaining than when 8 came out, but enough for me to wait on upgrading. That and the high upgrade cost. May be a reasonable upgrade cost but at a level where I’m not going to just toss my money at it.

Thanks for the comments.
Beats, I am kinda surprised that you haven't been using live 8 in favor of logic. I mean just because your such a regular on the Ableton forum. I hear a lot of good things about Logic though.
Quiggers, I am excited about that too. I cant tell you how many times I have to shut down and restart live just because I forgot to plug a controller in.
I was hoping someone would drop in that was still using an earlier version, like 4 or something. I wonder...

I'm on nine, but I've had a license for 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9.

I love how'd the Abe's managed to make such a fly sequencer! <3

Not that it matters, but have you totalled what that has cost you over the years?

I'm on nine but really that's because of push. I'm also starting my library fresh and putting in what I need as I need it so I can keep it working as desired with push. I also have only used 9 in conjunction with it.

blown away I am.
