omg, i can't believe we can't assign zoom to a midi controller! I want to be able to use a step sequencer on my interface zoom!

yea, what is that? Is the anti-aliasing being zoomed also? I can't quite tell what makes it blurry, but it feels like too much reverb on everything.

+1, on my 15" MBP - anything else is useless so far.

in Live 8 only:

Preferences/"Look, Feel"/Zoom Display

You guys who think anything other than 100% is somehow aliased, blurred or degraded are welcome to delude yourselves as much as you like.

he? something is odd, it is just not working on my comp, any setting except 100% makes it not being a sharp image anymore...???

i would love to use the zoom... if...

110/120 on 20" iMac, so my eyes are happy...

same here

100% here.



120% - 100%. Don't tell me the left part is as crisp as the right one :p

Doesn‘t bother me at all.

are the people who are having resolution problems running their monitors at the native setting?

maybe if you're having problems seeing live, you've adjusted the system properties to make the resolution kinder to your eyes - and the monitor will be having problems running at anything except 100%

those with crt monitors may have the refresh rate at the wrong setting too, causing the monitor to run at a lower capacity than it could

i'm running mine at 100% but had it at 75% for a quick test. it'll be nice to drop down to that during mixing to get a better view of the mixer. i'll have to get passed the level 2 boss first, he's really hard.

150% on doublescreen 24"
I think, the "even" zoom numbers like doubling size has less blurring problems.
It´s the interference between lives native zoom grid and the pixel grid of the screen. it has to match without "rounding".

I try 94% since yesterday on a MBP 15 inch, it's not as sharp as 100% but i try to get used of the blury pic. i tried all sorts of MBP screen settings without any other results then it being unsharp unless having a setting of 100% i would love to use 90 or 92 that would be ideal for me, but at those settings it's already painfull for the eyes, i wish they fixed it or someone could tell me what to do to get a clear, readable pic at those settings...

also, i still vote for a midi assignable zoom adjustment on the main GUI.
