Live 8 - any signs ?

Post by emma » Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:19 am

Could it be that we don't see a new Live version this year ? :(

Didn't you just buy a live 7 upgrade like not even a year ago. Seriously, I can't figure out, how any real number of feature requests, from the feature request section on this forum, could have been handled since last october.

I'm only upgrading for a proper full version cycle. Obviously I can't speak for anybody but myself, but honestly....

I would feel quite silly spending 100 euro on Live 8 just because....

"Its Ableton Live 8"


A lot of people feel, that is exactly what happened with 7, and that is why tons and tons of folk, still have version 6.


Cheers

Live 7 was just announced last October. It may be a few months before they announce another update.

So basically this october then?

Is there a new Live every year?

Typically yes. The announcement was usually in the summer though. Last year it was a little later in the fall. I wouldn't expect anything until near Christmas or after the new year, if then. But that's just a guess.

don't be hurry for live 8,

live 7 became unbuggy 6 month after his first release,

dont want to pay 100 other buck just to do beta tester during 6 month,

i understand ableton need money, but me i need stability,

live 7.0.1 / 7.0.3 / 7.0.5 / 7.0.7/ 7.0.9 were painfull release for me

live 7.0.10 is the first release that work (i mean : i can work with it during many hour without crashing my daw) , but it's not as rock solid as live 6 was

I'm still hoping we can see something of the partnership between Ableton and Cycling '74 before the years end...

For Live 8 you need to ask in some Bob Geldof's forums... :wink:
