Discuss music production with Ableton Live.

Is it just me or is it a bit thin around here these days?

I may change my opinion if anyone can point me in the direction of a
professional album produced with Live.

To me it sounds flat. About a half a semitone flat, all the time. I checked this with cubass and against my piano and its definatly true. is there a patch for htis?

Yeah, live sounds thin, but didn't you hear, thin is the new fat.

I always use quotation marks in my topic titles when I'm being serious.

sweetjesus I'm was wondering would you mind telling us a bit about your methods (when ure finished ur new track) i've been staring at Live for several month now and cannot get any tracks made, plus everything sounds half a semitone flat which puts me off ableton altogether.
