my god! Live Demo version now 14 days!

[Angstrom]

I think this is a good and interesting idea,
now that I understand it!

[forge]

And i dont think anything has changed, they have just added to it. Instead of a demo mode that you just cant save, they have now included a 14 day trial serial so you can save for 2 weeks.

^^ you need to listen to this guy

did you read this bit on the download page \/

Note: You can leave these fields blank and still download the trial version and use it without a trial serial number, but you will not be able to save or export your work.

ah ok - I missed that - then it's a good idea!

[Tuur]

But what about the 7.05 version? Or is the only thing changed the trial mode?

Probably...

The only reason I ended up buying an Ableton product was because a piece of gear I bought was shipped with the Lite version of live. It was also shipped with protools. PT would not let me save anything and come back to it and truely 'build' some experience before laying down my hard earned freight. If all you had on average was 3hrs to trail something that was totally new, try it on for size, isolate some blocks, ask a few questions on the forum, get some feed back, sort through it all, deal with possible conflicts etc etc, would you then shell out in faith?

Talk about a hard sell.

And for a really really hard sell...

There is Cubase - no demo version and a forum run by fascists and full of pissed off users

lol. Just goes to show that I really do think too highly of myself. Ahh...time eh, we probably all wish we had more of it to do the things we like. Was looking at Reaper and a couple of free vst's. I don't know what their forum is like. I just wish the learning curve (for me) was not so steep.
