Besides Nebs historiography the best thing to come out of this interview is that we now know how to properly pronounce "Ableton"

Only time will tell...

That's the first time I've truly laughed out loud to a forum post, not just quietly chuckled. Good job!

In one camp, we have the Abes who want Live to be the best at what it does...a performance tool, simple, and robust. On the other camp, we have the Abes that want to add all sorts of instruments and sample add-ons...essentially "bringin' da bling". It is with great disturbing evidence that shows a company tearing at the fabric of its foundation.

And what is said evidence for such an assertion? The new "features" in L7? The added synths? The missing features? The features "removed"? Nay, dear friends, it's even simpler than that....it's in the fashion!

That whole write-up was brilliant! It is an example of the very reason I love to visit this forum.

Thanks to everyone for reading my insanity. I can assure you I had just as much fun writing it. And since it was a free-write born from a stressful morning, I have now gramatically edited and updated the novella. One can only hope that hollywood (or perhaps even bollywood) will buy the movie rights...

Send me a few pictures, and I'll write all sorts of stories about you, Dom, Amaury, Christian, and whomever else I owe pastries.

BTW, pastries in LA at NAMM for anyone at HQ that shows up...promise!

Nebulae, you are insane. You need help.
