You know, that's just stupid. Just like Martyn said -dinsync wrote:+11111
The abes should be ashamed. I can't imagine what a potential user would think who came to the forums.
General should mean "General Ableton"
How hard is it to make an Off-topic section?
"For questions and queries or any other general information regarding Ableton Live, there's this thing called a manual. If that's not enough, these are actual lessons built into the program itself."
And it isn't like there is not a wealth of information on this forum to be had as well by doing a simple search, probably the first ableton function that should be taught to any new person.
Sure, the search function blows, so search the site using google. 9 times out of 10 the shit people post about or ask questions about has been posted about and discussed already once a month for the past 5 years -
what midi controller is best for my abletons - will ableton work for me - how do I make a fat tarnce lead - can I sell my lite ableton - or like this discussion for example.
I wonder if most of the people bitching about "OT" are even aware that there is a tips and tricks section and other sections to the forum here?
Christ man, get over it.
And this forum is actually quite tame to a lot of others. Try looking through the Serato forums some time. I mean, there is good info and decent people there, but man you want to talk about some serious knuckleheads?
This is a good lesson for me as a newcommer! I had a few laughs along the way, and I had slightly foreseen this ending, as soon as the first replies showed up.
