Ableton Live 12 Release

[labtec7777]

Wow it's really well done
No crashes on imac
Running 2tb SSD
32gb ram
3.4ghz
Spent two hours on meld
Granular 3
Roar
All good stuff.
Great menus so navigation cool.
Was it worth the upgrade.
I was a bit dubious but yes Ableton 12 is a winner.
I use a lot of plug ins but I will use this stock gear more.
I particularly liked granular 3
Its got some wicked gadgets on that baby.
The downside is not enough variation on the look.
The colours are vile seriously.
I've gone for a darker mode.
You can't have everything

"I use a lot of plug ins but I will use this stock gear more."

Staying totally within Ableton would simplify transferring and sharing files, and make it less likely to crash or have other problems. With the new synths and effects over the years, it's almost possible to stay entirely within Ableton. Now I just add a nicer Reverb VST and Hive since I bought it (regret it but don't want to "waste" it). If Ableton had a nice Reverb for mixing and mastering, I could stay 100% within Ableton. Makes life simpler.

Nothing to regret about Hive, easy one of the top ten best synths out there.

OMG it's taken so long to install all the pack updates.

The downloads can all be clicked on and queued, but the installs can't - so you have to sit there and wait for each pack to install (which freezes you out of the program), then click the button for the next one and wait again.

Started yesterday, just finishing up now.

Some 3rd party Max4Live devices wont work.

If you value them keep Live 11 installed.

[Gral]

I know it's an almost impossible task.

A list of incompatible devices would be highly desirable so that you don't have to install L12 only to discover that some M4L devices that you care about or even need no longer work.

So... Is it out yet?

Any concrete exemple ?
I can't install Live 12 now (too much stuff to do before, and above all 3 concerts to come), but I actually rely on some M4L devices.

That would depend on how many 3rd party ones you use.
