Ableton Forum

I just read the 'news' again and I'm blown away - I'm really excited about the track freeze, arp and the new clip thing -

Straight up - it's like when the Game joined G-Unit fools was trippin'

Thanks Ableton - can't wait to do some beta testing!

peace

This sounds awesome and all but being that I am as dense as a doorknob I am not sure what all these new features mean or if they are actually useful. I have only had 4 for a few months and am just gettin' familiar with that.

So could someone please give me the lowdown on what these new features mean for the user that make it superior to 4 in plain english (I mean plain)? I just want to know so I can decide whether or not it is worth it to purchase the upgrade. I mean this is a fantastic product but I am not sure if it would be worth it to me to upgrade.

Could somebody explain why these new features are useful? Thx.

Yes this is an immense featureset. Not knowing how you work no one can satisfactorily answer you question.

Although this is not the answer you were looking for, the suggestion is to wait it out with the rest of us until beta and then watch those posts as you will learn with the rest of us as to what it all may mean to your/our personal needs and desires within live.

That said this is big...!

Have you taken the Live 5 tour yet? Or the "Whats new in Live 5" link. Those ought to answer your questions.

Its as if a dream has come true, i was just jamming with my friend and saying wouldn't freeze tracks be great, and there we have it.....!!!!!!!

Grrrrrreat job guys .......boy hoping for some beta testing action

Avatars please!

Oh and L5 looks mighty tasty. Altivec though? Hope so!

Oh my, my, my, my, my

This looks like the most amazing thing ever.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woot

whoop!

This is a fucking rip off. That's what it is. If you've just purchased Live4 recently you'll have to pay more $$ for live 5. Now tell me who couldn't wait a week or two for the free upgrade by buying after June 1st if they'd have known?

hahaha.
Live 4 must be the FIRST technology purchase you've ever made in your life, yes?
Otherwise you'd know that as soon as you buy something, something better follows.

Now, if you can yank that stick out your rectum long enough to think clearly, you'll see that the Live 5 pricing mentions a special discount on the upgrade fee for recent purchasers of Live 4....

"For customers who purchased Live 4 between May 1, 2005 and May 31, 2005, downloadable upgrades to Live 5 will be available for 49 EUR/USD from the Ableton webshop. thats 59% OFF !!! I could understand the bitching if you had to pay the full upgrade fee, but considering this discount...
