"During the jam, you just play around with your material without thinking about the beginning or end of the piece..."

LOL

Live's "session-view" contains a pool of audio clips which can be "launched" from the computer keyboard or via MIDI

There's also unlimited "undo-history"

Funny how i just take this for granted now, they actually had to put it in quotes back then, this is all groundbreaking shit that was never heard of

Look at the session view, what are those effects there? also, the pan knob is next to the volume meter instead of on top of it. Also, i dont remember sends showing up till version 1.5?

WOW!!! It looks so, "Can I say it? Stripped down and boring looking." This is probably the most ancient of artifacts Ive ever seen. How much did you say?

This looks pretty cool. Release date?

Yeah, how much is this going to be?

I loved the clean feel of v1, so much more powerful now, but too many buttons / right click stuff / and menu commands tends to take away from what live was created for which was a live instrument.

dont get me wrong though, i would never even consider going back to it after getting use to live six.

Sounds like a very useful bit of kit

The effects in that first screenshot are the EQ and FilterDelay, if my memory serves me...

You've come a long way, baby

nice to see how Live evolved by taking it so slowly, one step at a time..
not adding too much, nothing too less either..
all well thought of..

also the GUI was already so ahead of it's time..
look how basicly nothing really changed..
only some small improvements..

makes me want to see some v.0.x screenshots..
like which features didn't make it, decision points etc.
as an 'outtakes' part on a dvd..
or 'the making of'.. hehehe..

I remember trying to tell people about Live back then and them not really taking it seriously
