thought i saw 69$ from live 2 and 99$ from live 1.x for the downloads, add 30$ for the boxed upgrades...

I like the new effects, but are they "in addition" to the current ones, or do they replace the old ones... - i like the eq 4 and would like to use it instead of the new one if I chose to...

Hi mimesis,

of course the four new effects coming in additionally. None of the existing effects will be removed or replaced.

regards,
Alex

great Alex, thanks for your reply! Keep up the great work
(G4-G5 optomization please!)

If I am a Live 1.5 user who got the free upgrade for v2, how much would the boxed v3 be?

99 units for the boxed upgrade...

Sorry - must research properly before asking questions :rolleyes:

I was REALLY hoping for MIDI -> Rewire slave. In otherwords, I want to rewire Live as a slave to my host and record the MIDI that goes to it (much like how Reason2 works).

I personally love the fact that Live is only capable of handling audio. midi I don't like anymore, don't like quantizing and the latency and 'fix it in the mix' attitude midi offer. I love the fact that with Live you just hit the play and or record button and go for it

I agree with Raapie ...Live brought back the improvisation into electronic music , away from pre-midi-sequenced material .... allthough strangely enough it might use audio rendered from pre-midi-sequenced material .... but Live brings it back to Live ....

Alex, can you tell me if it is possible to use this new offset envelope to emulate the ability to have the sample offset marker outside of the loop markers? This was my number one feature request for Live. I just want to be able to drag the Offset Marker outside and in front of the looped part of the clip.

The clip envelopes are nice, although I a lot of those effects I get already with my lovely tempo-aware Ohm Boyz plug-in's modulation implementations. (I also could see a lot of things people will do wi the envelopes sounding the same...)

I would have liked to see track-level transpose, and arrange page object-level mute/unmute. I wouldn't have thought they were rocket science, but oh well...

A word in favour of MIDI: We run our triggered video show off MIDI, if LIVE incorporated this we could lose our MIDI sequencer and have a totally integrated live show. Additionally, modulating a sequence of MIDI notes is *quite* different to modulation a whole pre recorded phrase. Each note can have "travel" and "movement" much more effectively than when modulating audio clips.

Cheers, and lets keep on letting the Abletons know what we want

No, it's not. The offset envelope re-orders the audio *within* the loop. The abitlity to drag the offset marker before the loop unfortunately didn't make it into this release. I know it's hard to imagine, but in fact this is not an easy development task with bearings on seveal issues (the disk preload scheme, arrangement editing; the time warping engine). Sorry!

jack is an audio server that was ported from bsd/ linux that allows routing of audio from any apps audiounit or vst to another apps audiounit or vst.

so, if it now worked, you could simply 'jack' something like numerology (what! you dont know what that is!!!??) into Live.

There is a version of Jack in the works that disguises as a regular audio device (I worked on parts of it). That way, you won't have to worry about VST, CFM and Mach-O, any application that uses CoreAudio should be able to use Jack for routing.
