yep :D

Although i'm not that fond of zebra2 hehe
but many are so i guess its just me. Never gave time to really test the demo out, but on the other hand i got the tools i need to make whatever sounds i like, so no reason to spend time with that.

Thanks guys, looks like it will be basic Live7 + some free vsti`s/ plug-in demos and we will take it from there. This forum is IMO reason enough for choosing Live.

Dude! How's it going? Lookin' for Live, eh? You came to the right place!

::shakes hand::

Sure I can't get you anything else with that? No Electro or Tensor? They're the hottest part of the Appleton suite!

You say that now,,
stick around and have Tones,, dcease,, and neb cut you a new one every once in a while, then we'll see how rosey cheeked yo are :twisted:

As for live,,
I've been using it for about a year now, before that that i was messing with every version of the demo since Live 3.
My suggestion would be live-sampler-operator.
then go get the architecture waves and learn to build simple single osc synths in Sampler.
Don't buy any third party VST's just yet,, get right into Live and lives devices,, learn to build racks and control macro's,, get up inside the drum racks,, go over to the dogs on acid forum and check out a thread there called every second day a break and down load all of the rex files,,
Learn the session view and how to control clips remotely,, look into follow actions and also removing the stop button from empty cells,,,
Give your self six months to get your head around all of that, then go out and buy Reaktor,, your world will be complete.
15" 2.4 MBP/Live/Sampler/Operator/ Home made Dumble clone/Two Strats/One Jazz Bass.
