Live kills Cubase, Sonar, Pro Tools, etc. It kills them with its big grey dick.


Live is the best.

pleaaaaaaaaaase wait another year to release live 7. finish working out the bugs in live 6 first. at this point, adding more features would be two steps forward, one step back. there are so many bugs that need to be fixed, adding anything new would just introduce more

there's a difference between bugs and features you wish to have.

Can't read through 10 pages but....
more than 127 midi parameters for a plugin...this kills a significant part of so many plugins. Dropped a lot of cash on Live now and will be reluctant to upgrade if certain basic features/issues aren't sorted. If Live is to keep moving more into complete DAW territory it MUST be able to handle more than 127 midi CCs.

I have been informed by customer support that there will be vast improvements made to Live 6 soon.

Hells no. The Cycling 74 partnership will probably blow the roof off the mother. Most of the 'bugs' I experience are my own fault. Live lacks some features but the C74 partnership can fill that void if users can make their own Live widgets for public consumption.

Live's elastic audio with modular control, duh-what?!

If Live is PERFORMANCE tool as advertised, they could let users use C74 tools to make their own GUIs.

Coming in Live 9 with its neural interface. As if I'm not already addicted. To Live that is. I can quit whenever I want. I don't mean Live.

I've had Jack Daniels tell me a lot of things, most of them got me kicked out of the bar.

Maybe a revised files manglement system, it won't be an instrument or anything.

There are three things I need in Live 7 but if Ableton play the upgrade game with long serving customers again and fail to implement bog standard daw stuff I will be moving from Live completely.

[one of the reasons that having beta tested thoroughly I actually decided not to upgrade and stayed on Live 5].
Good for you and your spot on observations I also see no real need for the project file management it is a pile o shite and only useful for people who dont make music. I bet they clean their house on sundays and Lives management tools will be included in the list of cleaning chores. I have never ever met one proper producer/engineer who uses any daw file management system except in its most basic form. their far to busy making music and so am I

8O OMFG I cannot believe i didn't know that!!
OMG OMG WOW

hold on a second before you all get to excited over this amazing find but you know its easier to drag a long clip in to a clip and simply drag the clips start brace around. it also makes much more musical sense. just because there is another way or a way you didnt know before doesnt automatically make it better.
