Ableton Live misleadingly claim that their product offers "Uninterrupted Creative Flow".

This is clearly bullshit of the most heinous variety!!

Why, only today I had to stop working on a track to read the manual and completely lost the vibe of the piece afterwards. Then when I emailed Ableton they said they had a forum where I could find help while they looked into the problem, and now I'm interrupted constantly by reading the ravings of maladjusted idiots here instead of making music!

I demand something!! Where's my elephant?!

Baaah!!!

Dunno what you're smiling at...I'll type some more furious words at you if you're not careful.

Then you'll be sorry.

You're damn lucky I'm not trying to sue you for scarring my delcate little mind you boundah! That link you sent me gave me horrible dreams.

I dreamed that Tiesto and Sasha were going back to back with a pint glass and then chasing John Digweed around trying to get him to taste the results! I seem to recall a midget being involved too but can't really remember that bit clearly. ..........the...images.....

Oh no. Did he send you the girls with the cup link too?? (I dare not type the address here). If you ever need a reason to be or stay single then that will leave you with no doubts.

Ableton Live is great, you can make music without ever having to work for it.Everything is just a mouse click away and so visible that you never have to worry about really listening.Down with guitar players who take years to develop thair talents and who actually have to learn music 8O and those hardware users who don't get the benefits of VST plugins and 50 inch LCD monitors and who prance around claiming to have 0 latancy.

If Jimmy Hendrix had live would he play it with his teeth or set it on fire?

I love it when I can't even see normaly after just one hour of staring at the pc monitor that gives me that beautifull radiation that sparks my creativity uninteraptingly.Ohh and especially when I have to edit every recorded sound to cut off that fraction of a second that latancy produces..love it love it love it

One time I sead to my hardware friend "hey live has got elastic aoudio" and he goes "well I don't even use loops. I can slow it down to 45 BPM From 250 BPM and my sounds will never loose any audio quality".I was like whatever dude, Don't lie to me so I never spoke to him again.What a looser, he actualy thinks that limitation can spark creativity.... yea right....talk to the hand

Sadly I extended the circle of distrust and forwarded it to a few friends. Minutes later my phone was clogged with messages from the same friends saying "Dude! Why did you send that to me? What is wrong with you!!?? Goddamnit women suck!"

On closer inspection I recon it was chocolate or coffee flavoured ice cream, it just seemed to be about the right consistency and colour. It'd be reatively easy to use something like a cake icing cone to pump it in in the frist place, if a little cold.
In my head I need it to be this, I can make sense of it. Please don't try telling me that this explaination is wrong or flawed in any way or I'll never be able to eat cocoa pops ever again. I'm sure all girls don't do that, do they?
