Waterboy wrote:Hello, all. I thought that I would chime in on this topic. Not that my opinion matters, rather just another point of view:
I write mostly rock & metal. I have found that Live has a very organic feel for me and the genre in which I am involved. Below I have posted (what I hope) is a link for a short drum clip that I did in Live, using nothing other than a small bit of compression. I have found that it could / would suit my tastes and the tastes of most of my clients:
Drums Using Ableton Live
This is just a clip of an ol' tune that I have been ,essin' around with.
BTW - This is just a goofin' off site that I post ideas - where somebody in another country might want to collaborate with me, etc. Please do not take this site seriously!
Thanks

Clearly, this was a loop costructed on Fruity Loops, version 2 or 3. The sound is totally tinny, and almost resembles a bad Lindrum. You have been found out, sir, and I dare say thou art an imposter!

Awesome drumming, bro. Now let's all make some more music and stop this bullshit about whether Live is pro or not.

Alright, I've found a definitive test for the Pro ness of the Live stereo outputs.

This should completely clear things up once and for all.

Wow, that's an impressive graph that tells me so much. But here are a few other graphs that clearly refute your graph...

As you can see the Good is really good, and the Poor, well, I don't even need to expound.

Further evidence exists in this graph:

As you can see the green dots are on the higher side, idicating "pro-ness".

And here's the nail in the coffin, my friend...

Clearly, Live is as Pro as it gets.

ROFL @ Fertilizers on Bean Plant Growth! I knew there was a correlation between pro-ness and them.

But the one big one that we've all forgotten about is the link between Ableton, global warming, and pirates.

Actually, I have a Mac .... and, uh ... Fruity Loops (I don't think) will run on a Mac.
Nonetheless, this was just my input, I am not running for office here (i.e. - I am not as passionate as some about forum discussions - therefore I do not tkae this seriously!).
Please keep in mind, I am not making a stand on either side of this discussion, rather I am just adding my $0.02 worth on the quality of Live vs. other formats. I can assure you that the following is what I have in my home studio:
- Live (Lite)
- Logic Pro 7
- Cubase SX 3
But I appreciate your taking the time to respond in a positive manner. Take care!

i'm not takin sides here, but fruityloops can run on a mac, either in Boot Camp, or using Parallels (or any other other virtualization software).

Dude, you totally got the wrong idea...I was IMPRESSED with the drumming, and I thought that the sound qualilty was very good. Sorry that my sarcasm didn't translate over the forum. Kudos for posting a nice loop.

Oops! I'm sorry! Thanks for the compliment, and please excuse my ignorance! I'm an older fart!
