You gotta wrap it in an old newspaper to be legit though it is not allowed anymore.

That's too hard to choose. They are too many features in live that make it so much better than any other sequencing program out there.

Difficult to nail it to one favorite .. but if I have to choose one it has to be the ability to shift the start marker in clips.. the rhythmic changes possible just through simple shifts of that thing are stunning.. I'm sitting here right now and I've completely change the sound of a track just by moving that thing forward a 1/16 note on a snare track. Fuxache! Brilliant!

However God giveth with one hand and taketh away on the other. The timing and CPU usage are frightfully bad! Roll on Live 6!

OK, since just about everyone cheated and mentioned more than just one feature(I know, it's hard), I'm gonna chime in with another. That would have to be that the interface is so radically different from the other apps that I've used, but yet very intuitive. It's so clean. I think I've opened the manual maybe two times? I really appreciated the fact that the Abes didn't try to emulate some archaic hardware device. I really don't wanna have to screw around with dangling cables or with tiny little knobs or any other analog relics. Having to futz around with a graphic representation of a hardware box is just too much of a distraction for me. With Live I can just get busy and it just made sense from day one. There didn't seem to be much of a learning curve involved. And of course, this forum has helped alot.

The ability to drop a file into a clip, loop it, mangle it, mash it, mix it into something nature never intended.

Warp. Word booty.

A play on the Nike slogan. 'Just warp it.' Photoshop the Live logo into the Nike swish logo.

...or is that the weed talking, again?

Damn that fish and chips looks GOO-OOOD, maybe if I printed it out and got some hot sauce...
