To all you software designers out there, not just ableton, but the synth and effects designers.. SLow it down a little and let us use your product before our computers become outdated!!!

I love Live because of its simplicity and structure, it is one of the best designed programs i have ever used.. I just started using MAX/ MSP and love that even more..

keep it simple !! please!!

Yeah man, sometimes the options get just OVERWHELMING. Sometimes I wish I could just take my laptop with a bunch of software on it to a deserted island, and just get deep into what I have.

but also you won't change your computer because if you upgrade it, you'll need the softs that go with it...

music is not about having the last soft !

Yeah I'm at the point where I just want all my plugs and apps stable, then I'm digging in.....
