not bad

I don't mean the pressure support or any other exotic wacom features..

If you use a wacom with Live you know exactly what I mean.. HELL...

If you touch a parameter or gently adjust it,
the parameter 'runs' while you're not moving your pen/mouse..

I find this very very very uncomfortable and totally not understandable because Live is the ONLY app that I know of that acts like this....

And the most irritating part of it all is that Live is pretty inconsistent at it as well cause not all parameters act like this (i.e. Operators envelopes)..


But I give up..
Live will never support wacom I guess..
Or maybe in Live v.9 or v.57 when the do a complete recoding..

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh...

After reading you post I had to try how is it like and yes in tablet-mode normal operations are so frustrating that I wouldn't call that usefull in any case. But I found solution: Change to mouse-mode. That works with my wacom. You should not miss any of the important features but usability is granted.

And btw. envelopes drawn by hand <3 Soooo beautiful! I'm hooked!
