besides.. i just read the "quality" text again..
And i am really offended by the anouncement that live 8 wont see any new fetaures in cost free updates..
because that really says that features i thougt i would buy with live 8 only get delivered completly in live 9 and i ve to pay again for them...
wise move.. because so i am forced to buy live 9 to have the feature set i learned to use now komplete..
so undermining my plan to have live 8 as the last version of live on my computer..
THe feature i am talking about are the group tracks...
reat idea.. but the way they ar implemented cant becalled a finished implementation.. they are not useable in arrange..
and the are not useable live..at least not collapsed..the are a good subtrigger scene in scene routine... but with really bad optical feedback... and groutracks you cant use collapsed because you dont have an idea what is going on in there cant be called a finsihed implementation..
i thought this would be fixed in an update..
But as we have learned now.. ther wont be new features... and because the lacking of propper grouptrack functionality is not considred as bug or conceptional bug it wont be fixed in live 8..
Clear statement from the management.. perfect politics.. sounds like an appology to the users.. but just anounces that the only thing we can expect for live 8 are bug fixes.. and in live 9 we have propper grouptracks than and propper groove extraction and?
probably something nice but an old standard in teh daw world..let me guess,... a convolution reverb?
However.. I suggest to do a poll... if users consider the grouptracks as a bug...
and that this therfore needs to be fixed in live 8
that means arrange handling of grouptracks enabled... because without they are only a gadget for live shows you better dont use during production..
and a consistent graphic layout for them that matches the standards of ableton live..
means name able trigger fields and status bar in arrange.. especially when we finaly can use them there..
this is not a new feature.. its what is missing in the half ready implementation of grouptracks and thats the feature we bought with live 8
