Does it work now? It works with all my browsers.
I think monolake is lying when he says he's happy with the version 5 release because THIS picture proves he's not using version 5. damn!
..
mmm, or is he using on of those tweaked paramter files, maybe?

I thought the video was pretty cool personally.
As for me, I'd be interested in seeing how other artists are actually using Live, well... live. How do they have the software set up, how many tracks are they using, midi and audio, or just audio?, what controllers are they using and how are they mapped to Live, etc.

I was reading this book a while back called "Music, the Brain, and Ecstasy", very good book, and in one part it mentions that the mind cannot hold more than 6-8 things at once. Most people can't have more than around 6 things going at once, and very intelligent people, such as Einstein, cannot have more than 7-8 things going at once (by Einstein's own admission). What makes a person like Einstein capable of so much is the depth of organization going on in his mind. Information is stored in such a way that it can be accessed and correlated to a much higher degree than the average person.ryansupak wrote: I've found 6 tracks to be sort of a magic number as well...
The same seems to apply for music...its hard to fully hear every voice going on in a dense orchestral music. For me, I would usually hear a few voices and inter-relationships at a time, but never the totality of everything all at once.
Going off on a tangent there, but it seems that the trick is to get the most mileage out of each track, rather than having a ton of tracks. (Sorry for not using metric metaphors there)
