LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH.

MP3 %$^%%%^&^%$

You people tha ned MP3 are CRAZY. Do you want to make music sound even more crappy than it already does. Fuck me, if you guys are suppoed to be the future of music then god help us all.

Its laughable there is even a debate on this. No offence to Ableton, but when you warp stuff it plays havoc with the audio as it is. Add MP3's in to the pot an dteh audio quality is decreasing evenmore.

And what the hell is this nonsense about drive space??????? Ar eyou people so stooopid you simply dont know you can buy a bigger drive or another one. Heck, my Laptops got a 10 gig drive and I could never run of space even if I tried. Of course I havent fillled my HD with every CD sample disk I could lay my hands on.

An average Live track for me is around 18megabyte up to 35meg. Its never been higher and I have a LOT of stuff going on. I dont load in a 6 minute track (around 80mbytes) and simply use the first one bar measure of it. I think this is what some of you dumbasses are doing.

Work out how many songs I could save on a ten gig drive/////////Far more than I will ever need during a live set

Ableton Forget about MP3 as a crucial update. Feel free to add it all you like. I just think it will cheapen your image. Man.......I cant believe how dumb some poeple are

i basically agree. Bottom Line: Live's strengths are its ability to time warp, and the effects and now all the clip stuff in Live 3. All of these would take already crappy sounding mp3s, and totally exponentialy exploit their crappy mp3 qualities. YOu might think the mp3 by itself sounds passable, but once you time warp it, or add effects or clip tweaks to it, the crappy mp3 nature will be magnified BIG TIME. SO for all you djs out there spinning the latest mp3s you downloaded for free--get traktor or whatever dj app supports this crap, and go to town with that. Ableton has addressed this issue, given very solid reasons why it would not work within the Live interface and concept, and thats it. Period.
