when you say '7 figure' you can't count the digits after the decimal point.
Clearly you've never owned any stock. Fucking peasant.

Ableton has been the sole reason why my wallet and time has been plundered to the extreme. Ha. What a joke. More like a never ending slippery slope, slowly consuming your money, time and emotions while at the same time increasing your fuckoffitness with it all. :twisted: Simple and easy to use, oh yeah :roll: bullshit :x Welcome to upgrade hell, gear lust, 2am forum peeking, half ass justification, excuses x3 .... etc. If I spent half the money and time already invested into a nice hand made classical guitar and played the damn thing and wrote down the tunes using the $49 program I already have I'd make more tax free dollars standing on the street corner playing said guitar and songs than I ever will with this piece of shit program :evil: :evil:

Any money I have made since using Live has been completely offset by the bank raping properties of this forum and it's links to new gear.

ableton lets me do "commercial" type jobs way faster than using hardware / other sequencers. . which allows me to do those jobs without getting annoyed at the wasted time and wasted people that such jobs can entail.

definitely 500 bucks well spent.. have earned it back many times over.

Shit. No.

I just lost everything because of the "upgrade" to live 7.

Ableton has just cost me immeasurable amounts of time/money.

you haven't upgraded to Live 7 yet - I had to look through your other posts, but you upgraded to Live lite 7 m-audio enhanced edition.

For most users that would be a severe DOWNGRADE...

Not with an attitude like that. Time = money. Music needs time to be made. Can you do what needs to be done in the least amount of time to make a profit? :P No profit? No job!
