Yep.....
Everytime I say, I use Live, people are like "what?"
And I have to say "Ableton Live"
Then they are like "oh ok, you use Ableton"....

I think that sometimes in a loud club especially, when someone asks you,

"what do you use to make those phat beats yo!"

in the past:

"thanks man, I use Live!"

(subs pumping)

"what!"

(subs pumping)

"I said.... I USE LIVE!!"

(subs pumping)

"WHATTT!!!!""

(subs pumping)

"I use ABLETON!"

"Oh,..........................
,,,,...... sounds German."

I call it Live for just this reason,,,
In my view Live is a performance tool that can be used as a DAW, where as some thing like Logic is a DAW that can be used as a performance tool,,
So,for these reasons, i feel Live is brilliantly named as it implies that the product is aimed more at Musicians and performers than the other DAW's that seem to be more directed toward "Producer/engineers",,
