So you're not going for session automation and streamlined live recording because you want a book to read when your sitting outside. Spaceheads.

I see. Printed manuals are your vinyl.

OP - what's your job and how many people do you manage?

^ explain the relevance... i.e. just get to the point.

no i'm not paying that much extra for a box and an already shakey upgrade path/scheme to begin with. i've always purchased the box, not just with Live.
manual
skip lengthy downloads
no need for internet feed to DAW other than auth.

those are all PROS not CONS in my eyes. and the real point is the [additional] price.

the shipping was another 10 bucks... effectively making the whole exercise 60 dollars.

there wasn't going to be any waste because i planned on using it... not throwing it away.




what ever. i can feel the whine fairy hovering over my shoulder. i've said what i had to say and put my credit card away.

Go print the manual yourself. What the hell do you want it shipped for anyways? The Abes always print it out too small. Kinkos will convert it to a man's sized, 8x11 book and you'll have 10x the fun for just under their exorbitant rate.

I am the sales manager for a 4 city-block sales region, so I know a thing or two about getting manuals - little man.

your printed manual would be horribly outdated, and inaccurate by the time they update all the old info, and get live 9 sorted

both good points.

I want the box.
I want the box.
$850 (after tax) for suite 9 (if you're not fortunate enough to get the discounted upgrade)!!! You're damn right, I want the Box!!!!

I'm pissed, and I already OWN Suite 8!!! I don't want to pay $50 for a damn box. I'm sure they'll charge $50 to ship out Push as well, maxing it out at $650+.

Its just the principal of the matter.

Next Christmas, I hope all you box haters get digital downloads!!! :p

H2O it was a subtle reference to the angriest post from last nite. Too subtle it seems.

i must have missed it.

^ you're missing the point... 5 inches, 6 inches... they are ass raping you with a slightly larger member than the one they're using on me. i don't celebrate that.

if i'm going to pay to be a long term beta tester... then i want them to have the decency to give me a good deal on the box as they have in the past.

anyone wanna take bets as to how long it will be until the next 33% off email arrives in your inbox? i bet there will be one by June, July at the latest. to either close out the 2nd quarter or kick start the 3rd quarter on their profit sheets.
