the manual for version 4 was ring bound. I was dispointed when manual 8 arrived.

Freshly printed manuals is the #1 cause of global warming and the ice caps melting.

PDF, bitches.

LOL

btw, do you also have noticed the rough surface structure of the book cover? my dandruff adhere to it like mad ...

The ring binding is kind of handy to keep flipped open and all, but I didn't like how the little bit of paper inside the coil was always getting gnarled up...kind of surprised I never completely mangled a page and had it fall out, as much as I've opened that manual in the past year.

So anyway, I'm saying I like the new more professional binding, and the smell is almost ditto-machine tasty.

Agreed. The Cubase 5 manual is also nice to get high on

All 685 pages of it (plus a 100 page quick start manual) and the plugins document is only on the .pdf ...
Sonar 8 PE's manual is over 800 pages long. I liked the ringbound type too, Live 6 had a ringbound manual.

Logic Pro 8 manual = well over 1,000 pages. It's not a book, it's a weapon. Seriously. MASSIVE. .....and THEN there is the totally seperate instrument/FX reference, another 600 or so page book....

Mine smells like glue and gives me a buzz. It's also black and cool-looking.

Anyone wanna buy a Live 5 manual?
