I payed through my nose for this iBook (compared to my income, anyways), and it might not be fast. It's probably not fast at all. Fuck, it's probably downright slow. It might not be as reliable as possible. I DO NOT GIVE A TOSS!!! - I love it to bits, I want to have its babies cos it helps me make music and it looks fantastic. Can we just leave the subject please?

Absolutely. I agree entirely. Take note though who it is that just HAS to keep ghiming in with patriotic, misinformed and dwnright misreparasentative bollocks?

We use what we like using and long may it continue. Macs AND PC's. Let the music play.

Yeah, those trolls are a real pain in the ass.

Aint it just, ain't it just. I mean, you can't even pass an experience on using Live on a PC as opposed to a Mac around here without some asswipe asking you to go polish Bills' knob. Then said asswipe somehow takes the moral high-ground.

Yeah, it's pretty bad when you can't ask a question about using Live with a Mac without getting unsolicited lectures from Gates-knob-polishers. These are dark days we live in, for certain.

What a star guys...

ARRRGGH - what started as a fascinating discussion about creativity is in danger of heading down THAT road again....

[cue sensitive music]
Lets work together to make 2004 a banner year for Mac/PC relations......

Merry Christmas y'all!

yeah, what happened to the music? i think thats what gets lost in all this tech faschism. Shannon was right earlier on. where were we?

oh yes. so is freedom and possibility a bad thing for art? do we need to limit ourselves to create? does a bad workman blame his tools?

c'mon lets take it outside. round the back. shirts off. RUMBLE!

lol peeps
happy new year xxx

does a good workman know how to figure out when the tools are to blame?

Is a workman who thinks he has it all figured out just a tool?

Is a tool someone who keeps trolling this forum as an anonymous coward? And around and around we go...

seriously everybody, i started this thread over a year ago to chat about that creative funk we all get in from time to time. it got interesting then, and i was psyched to see the discussion resurface after all this time. and it got even more interesting this time, until we get into that retarded Mac/PC swing. who gives a fat baby's dick anyway? aren't we all running Live in Fullscreen mode? well, we should be. happy holdays to all my fellow Live rockers. i hope we get to hear about everybody's new toys once santa (or the chanukkah guy?) has come and gone.

hi tjwett:
i think i've gotten over my recent "funk". after 10 years of not plucking strings, i just went out and bought a new fender usa jazz bass. plugging this thing into live and composing on the fly is rocking! the effects on top of looped electric bass is turning me into a shoegazer kinda guy. kevin shields..look out!
+()Dd =) merry xmas!

nice! i'm a bass player as well, upright and electric. i have bought and sold many a bass over the past few years. right now i don't have one and i'm always looking to the corner of my studio wishing i could pick it up and thump away. speaking of Jazz basses, i recently tried out the Fender Marcus Miller signature thingy and it ROOLZ! a bit heavy but the sound lit the bass spark for me all over again. i plan to pick one up soon, can't wait. hopefully it will make it's way into some of my tunes. if not, it will at least keep me from turning into a robot. my bass playing calluses have all disappeared and turned into mouse-clicking ones. you should see my right index finger, it's gotten damn husky.

*edit: is that "+()Dd =)" supposed to be a Pope hat smilie? i hope so because it made me LOL in my pants.

there's nothing like stouching the instrument you're playing...

and I mean that in a very Platonic fashion!
