Odd meter/switching meters (i.e. 5/4, 7/8, etc)

I searched around on here, but couldn't find any topics on this. Is it possible to switch meter/time signature in the middle of a song in Ableton??

THanks

Yes. Look http://www.ableton.com/live-7-whats-new under "Most Requested Features" for blurb on time signature changes.

No. Its new to 7. Big enough reason to upgrade? Now if only it would do 3+2+2. Then we would be close to time sig freedom. :)

I would upgrade, but it seems that Live 7 has bugs all over.

'seems like'

why don't you try the trial version instead of pussy footing around with 'seems like'.
