is it already too late? if "us" becomes "it" in the same sentence, does it mean their work is done?

3phase - I'm no fan of your continuous ranting...

but considering the shit Davelton normally lets you get away with, I think you must have touched a nerve with this one.

we need to know what he said... STAT

the conspiracy is strong with this one.

Emissary needs to examine this right away.

lol.

he suggested that Ableton might be plotting to repackage Max4Live devices made by the patching community to sell them for profit.

Or at least that's how I understood it.

Now, where's Bin Laden's body?

what shit? that i called them the fiat of daw´s and stated a behlinger quality?
when live would be a cheap daw there wouldnt be a point. but by making max for live to an integral and unavoidable part of the program we are now around 700-800 euro for the package..
For this kind of investment one would like to dont be a betatester..and actually having some comfort..like a program that is able to find its own audio files when they sit inside the projekt folder...

Isnt it a rather sad joke that you cant move a folder to another harddisk without disableing the program to find its own files?

and i havent said that ableton sells max patches.. I suggested that they have turned the whole max community into a product...

m4l is clearly advertized as a means to profit from the free contributions of the max comunity..without the need to be able to patch yourself.
Thats a rather new thing for a program like max... Cant remember that cycling has ever advertized it that way..
The majority of Live usres wont buy max for the possebility to patch..they buy it for the features created by the max patchers.. therfore the patches an theire authors are the product

^ hmmm.. very interesting point.

so what you're saying is; they make you pay... then, and only then, do you get to use the product and gain benefits from it.

now there's a unique concept.







@ Ableton... you free thinking diabolical profiteers you! where do you get these schemes?
