Hi
Does anybody know when Ableton is going to release the final 5.2 version (not a beta)?
Thanks

Are they going to issue another beta so Intel Mac users can keep using it past the March 21 date??

Looks pretty cool. Won't be better than Live 5, but it's nice to see them try

heh, features are one thing, but stability is another...

Sure, but Acid has usually been fairly solid. I'm not sure it'll be a realtime performance app, but I do think that Sonic Foundry has innovated in many ways: automation curves, looping, MOUSE SCROLLING/ZOOMING to name a few...

From what I can see, if AP6 truly delivers a rock solid and stable app with all the new added features as advertised, then it'll definitely be up to speed (if not exceed) many of the other audio/Midi sequencers out there.
Having said that, I'll reserve my final judgment till I actually get my anxiously waiting, impatient swhheaty hands on it!!!

I've been an Acid Pro user since the beginning and with what AP6 brings to the table, I think my ultimate DAW search may come to an end. Then again Live 6 might just prove me wrong. Only time will tell...

Well, given that neither Live 5.2 nor Acid 6 are released yet, to answer your brilliant question, no I have not tried either of them.

This is pure conjecture, but since I'm part of Cult-of-Ableton, no software can be better.

Does that mean I won't try Acid 6? Of course not.

a bit off topic, but i want to say that my expiriences with SF products are nothing but good. i used Acid three year ago. great tool. ugly, but great.

i also use Vegas and Sound Forge every day at my work. both are solid as hell.
i was suggesting to Abletons a couple of times to "borrow" a couple of workflow tricks for Live's arrangement view. they didn't listen. quick fade in/out menu, crossfade curves, drag down clips volume, customized key shortcuts + export individual tracks, great support for every known audio/video file...
i really miss those in Live.
