i'm just psyched that people will finally stop asking for sidechaining and a slicer in the forum. now to see if the library management has been improved...

Yeah but how about the edit button.

Is it back?

No wait, I'm serious.

"Improved MIDI Timing - The MIDI engine has been reworked and we were able to significantly reduce timing error (jitter) of recorded MIDI."

Huge thanks Abe's - this, for me, was the biggest single issue with Live and I'm over the moon that it's core functionality is finally being addressed.

Those new instruments are the AAS stuff... String Studio, Lounge Lizard and Ultra Analog?

Correct - the AAS core synthesis engines complemented with our interface and effects.

oh god, whatever ANOTHER LIVE 7 THREAD?!?!?

OM MY GOD IT'S A REAL motherfucking Live 7 THREAD!!!!

slicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
drum racks look SEXY!!! and DEEEEEP!!!
slicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tempo automation, damnit, it was fun teasing the prog jazzers about the lack of that, fun's over!!
slicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Audio/MIDI Engine Fact Sheet" - sounds intriguing!!

nothing about C74

so... Live 8, Fall of '08 for that?

tempo nudge - DJs have been asking for that, very cool
slicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
video export - makes video more usable without making it a 'controversial' feature.
slicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
automation lanes and improved MIDI
slicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REX support, would this make Recycle a good companion program? did they bring back the EDIT button?

holy fuck this was unexpected, and I happened to take the day off of work, beta's downloaded, screw you guys, I'm going to the cafe, get wired on caffeine and meet my new friend.

cool... love the AAS stuff!

does Live 7 record automation in session now?

otherwise I would be better off to stick with the AAS synths cause they got midi learn

Excellent.
I'm on 5.2.2, but they're doing the upgrade to 6, get 7 free thing. Always good, but a little confusing.

So, it's something like:
Upgrade to Live 6 download, get Live 7 download free? That's what it looks like, but then goes on to say upgrade to Live 6, get a discount on Live 7 Suite.

So, I'm assuing its something like:
Live 6 download upgrade $119
Live 7 Suite download upgrade $399

Does that make the cost for Live 7 Suite download $280 (the difference between the two)? Or, is it $399?
It says: "The price will be deducted from you final Live Suite price" - which suggest to me that its $399 - $120 = $280, since $399 is my current upgrade price to Live 7 Suite from 5.2 BEFORE buying the Live 6 upgrade.

I'm a bit confused by that.

OMG, so quickly with that small comment, that just blew my carefully conceived strategy to "update to 6 after 7 is released".

This is a big issue for me too so it's worth the risk of any temporary instability, etc with the initial release. I'm going straight from 5 to 7 just to get this!

you can even drag instruments into pads .. so you can have drum machines with their own sequences on a pad.
