This doesn't make much sense, unless you mean the GUI technical underpinnings, which in the end doesn't have to have anything to do with how the Live GUI looks per se.sporkles wrote: …if Ableton are going to provide some of the most requested major changes (better browser, proper scaling of every part of the UI), it seems to me that they might have to "soften up" a bit on their old UI regime. It has been great, but I think it has been pushed as far as it can at this point.
Ableton can build on the UI as is, and get a better browser and perfect scaling in different resolutions right now. Granted, some technology and developmental work may make certain things possible and there may be a balance to strike between investing in coding for the current code base and investing in a (likely partially) new code base. Maybe this is what you mean? I don't see Ableton throwing out vast parts of the code base for Live 10 though. Clearly Live is modular in many ways (I'm assuming this anyway), so they should be able to cater to some flexibility in current and future developments.
Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but it feels we're looking at something big soon, don't you think? What it is, I have no idea about.
