The first tests came back pretty decent, so it shouldn't be too long now :D I can't wait to share it

As I post this, I am listening to dorian hallucination's 1-6 with follow actions.

That is all should have to say, but for everyone else whose ass I am not trying to kiss, I highly reccomend this download.

It is amazing how much you can gleam from this. That aspect is more important for me than the presets, which are of excellent quality. The most amazing thing about this, is it is a collaborative effort of two of Live's most comminicative power users, collaborating to create something way beyond a text book in terms of methodology for using live.

The use of Live clips really showcases how efficient and malleable the realtime audio generating capbilities of live are. And, in terms of use as a DAW, if you use variations of their device chains and render to audio you will get sounds that with or with out auxillary vsts/or aus, you will get sounds that are about equal to the vast library that comes with Logic 7.1, but are considerably easier to organize, work with, and adjust.

I extremely advise any newbies to purchase this. It has filled in a lot of blanks for me already, and it also serves as a great means of oversaturating my intake of other peoples ideas (as the vast lilbrary is raw and overwhelming) and has kicked my ass to make some new tunes, utilizing the priceless notes I have absorbed from this product.

I am getting sick of overly agressive and busy music. However, I have recently remembered how much greatness can be achieved through not so much competitveness, but comparing your work to others (I took a class in raquetball, and now my footbag abilities are doubling). I wish there was more sharing of sets/clips/ files on this forum. I am glad I paid for this.

Props.

Looking forward to the PC version. Also, what's the US purchase price (AKA, please don't overcharge me just because George the Bush is an idiot and weakening the US dollar!) ?

hey nebulae (does that rhyme?)
It will be calculated based on the euro, but FYI the dollar has been rising for a month or so now, so you're not getting screwed in the deal. The current price will be close to 42$, and I doubt it will fluctuate more than a buck :)

Still very reasonable, I hope.

Machinate, you rhymin' mofo, thanks for the price. I knew about the dollar rising, but didn't want to pass up any opportunity to shit on the Bush.

Looking forward to it...my paypal is ready as soon as you have the PC version ready. Thanks again for this huge accomplishment.

Quick question about the licensing for the samples in this product. I didn't see any mention of this on the covertops site, so just wanted to make sure all samples were free of royalties and/or cleared from copyrights. Please comment. Thanks.

All loops are 100% original and ready for use, the license is a standard sample cd variety. Bjorn and I did *all* the work on this one!

hey good people! Sorry the pc version is taking so long - personally I blame Bill Gates! Seriously there is no easy way of doing installers for pc, I'm afraid, so we'll have to wait for it. Hopefully within the week, people.
