Ableton Forum

When I was a kid, I saved all my money to buy some equipment. My first machine was a TR-606 drum computer. This + a Midi-to-Sync converter + some cables were 600 German Marks (~ 300 Eur), almost as much as a Live license. I was able to do lots of "Boom-Tsss-Tchik" patterns with my 606, I can tell you! Did that for a few years until I could afford a Sampler, which I bought for 4000,-. Earned from hard work, not from mum and dad.

I do understand that it's hard to be broke and I also know that cracks are easy to get on the net, but that's still not an excuse to steal other people's property. Writing a complaint on our forums that your crack software doesn't work sounds really lame to me. If I had stolen the sampler or any other gear, they'd put me into jail right away.

Best,
Nico

er ive just spent 3 years being one. while at college i got the student upgrade from live 4 to 6, it was about 65 quid. then i bought the student priced full max msp package - a full on spunky bargain at about 165 quid. i thought being a student was fairly ok, what with a part time job and all that.

seriously I have like 40 quid a month spare at the moment and no doubt there will be something that I need more than getting a legit copy of ableton at some point, so for the mean time, i'm sticking with pirated...

Learn to do without then and get something else. I had a tape recorder and a guitar. Get over it!

A tape recorder! You were lucky! When I was a student, I used to dream of having a tape recorder. We had to hand-etch wax plates.

"U thieving kunt!
Learn to do without or get something cheaper like Reaper. I could only afford a tape recorder and a guitar when I was a student. Get over it!"

You spelled "cunt" wrong...

Should have saved that tape recorder money and got a dictionary my chum

Jesus fuck haha did a pirated version of ableton rape your mother?

I should fucking hope so and your little "/facepalm" what are you?!

Don't be such a fucking sore loser, my soundcards awesome. you know what i'm playing on ableton right now...

So, go fuck yourself and stop reacting to my cracked copy of ableton like a kid who's seen his first fanny, cause trust me when that happens this whole issue will be forgotten...

...

I just LOVE the righteous indignation - "I'm poor, you guys should work for me for FREE".... shit - I'd like an SSL AWS900, but I would expect SSL to GIVE me one, just because I can't afford it!

I bought Ableton when I was a student - how? I fucking SAVED UP FOR IT. I spent less money on booze and bob marley posters until I could buy it.

My god I love this thread....

I am from scotland... and you know what i'm only skint cause of my kick ass mac and my new bike

and all that drinking... shit, I love bursary's.

Up yours

Suck my fat one you cheap dimestore hood.

so - did you STEAL your sound card too? Or did you BUY it? I' your sound card is "awesome" then it must have cost a shitload more than Ableton....

Filthy little semi-literate scumbags like yourself make me wish Ableton COULD nuke your sound card remotely... and perhaps your house too...

hahahaha.

I don't have all day to waste on forums like a fat balding man with body odour such as yourself but one last thing...

I reckon all music is good if you express yourself and have fun etc...

But your music is pish mate

adios

LOL! BTW! FTW! and whatever else you pathetic old men say... fucking loser.
